We visited Mie Terrace, an antenna shop in Mie Prefecture, which is located in the YUITO ANNEX building at 2-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi.
The decoration inside the store is already in New Year's mode.
In Mie Prefecture, there are many specialty products such as Matsusaka beef, but there was a product made from Japanese spiny lobster at the center of the product display that makes you feel the New Year.
Japanese spiny lobster is used as a New Year's decoration by putting it on the New Year's kagami mochi.
In the first place, the etymology of the name Japanese spiny lobster is based on the fact that Ise (the name of the former country including the middle and northern part of Mie Prefecture and part of Aichi Prefecture) was one of the main production areas of Japanese spiny lobster.
By the way, Japanese spiny lobster is designated as a fish in Mie Prefecture.
I bought a long-lived rice cracker
The name "longevity" is derived from the fact that Japanese spiny lobster's long beard and bent waist resemble an old man, so lucky items's delight.
Longevity rice crackers have a very fragrant shrimp flavor and are perfect for everyone to eat while watching TV on New Year's Day.
