Nihonbashi Fish Bank and the Birthplace of "Toro" -Introduction of Yoshino Sushi Main Store ~

[Pampon] July 14, 2015 14:00

Hello.

It's on the top.

Hot days continue, how are you going to spend?

This time, I would like to introduce the Yoshino Sushi Main Store (3-8-11, Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku), which inherits the tradition of Edomae sushi.

That's right.

 

Before introducing you, do you know that there was a fish shore in Nihonbashi?

 

・・・ Time goes back 425 years. In 1590, after Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Edo, Settsu Country

More than 30 fishermen from Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun (now Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka Prefecture) went to Edo to create "Tsukuda Island".

With permission to fish in the vicinity of Edo, he offered seafood to the Tokugawa family.

In the sea at that time, a large amount of fish were landed, and even if they were paid to the Tokugawa family, there would be much.

Therefore, fishermen focused on Nihonbashi, which has good water transportation, and began selling seafood on the banks of Nihonbashi.

This is the beginning of the Nihonbashi Fish Bank.

At present, there is a stone monument called "the birthplace of Nihonbashi Fish Market" on the site (1-8 Nihonbashi Muromachi).

At that time, it was so prosperous that it was said that "a thousand cars fell in a day", but it was so prosperous that it was said that "a thousand cars fell in a day."

The market was lost due to the Great Kanto Earthquake. Later, it was decided that the fish shore would be relocated to Tsukiji.

The history of the Nihonbashi Fish Bank, which lasted for about 300 years, will end its curtain.

 

The Yoshino sushi main store in Meiji period, where there was a fish shore in Nihonbashi, started its business at a stall.

One day, I made a fresh tuna fat that had just been purchased on the fish shore into sushi.

It was a big hit. A regular customer often ordered "sushi that was easy to eat."

It seems that it was named "Toro".

Yes, "Yoshino Sushi Main Store", which has a shop in Nihonbashi 3-chome, is the birthplace of "Toro"!

I was thrilled at lunchtime on weekdays and passed through the noren.

The shop is already full. Businessmen, people who have finished shopping at Takashimaya, etc.

It was a lively and warm atmosphere with people who enjoy drinking from the daytime.

 

The Yoshino sushi main store has inherited the spirit of "Sushi is the food of the common people" and "Stall sushi loved by the common people" for generations.

I learned about the history of Nihonbashi Fish Bank and became a shop I would like to recommend more and more.
