Meijiya Kyobashi Store, newly opened in September last year.
The Meijiya Building in the Italian Renaissance style, constructed in 1933, is registered in Tangible Cultural Property designated by Chuo-ku.
In the midst of modern buildings, the graceful appearance is particularly impressive.
At the time of the new renovation last year, the 130th anniversary of Meijiya's founding, the history of Meijiya was displayed in the window.
Founder Isono Kei founded Meijiya in Yokohama in 1885 (Meiji 18), utilizing his experience in commerce at U.K.
"Always the best thing,"
Under the motto, the history of working in various fields to improve Japanese food culture has been transmitted from the exhibition.
・For the first time in Japan, we will sell bottled beer nationwide and lay the foundation for Kirin Brewery.
・For the first time in Japan, we sell bottled sake without preservatives (Gekkeikan) and build a new distribution form of sake.
・Meiji period Starts Sales of Koiwai Butter, a fermented butter that is still less familiar to Japan
At the dawn of Japan's food distribution, Meijiya played a very important role.
The new interior of the store has low shelves, widens the passages, making it easier to see inside the store.
Old-fashioned photographs are displayed here and there, and you can feel the long history unique to Meijiya.
Speaking of its long history, the floor using this natural stone has not changed from the store before the renovation.
What a precious floor where you can't make the same thing anymore! You can also find fossils.
There are many retro items in the products that make you feel nostalgic.
It seems that this Kyobashi curry is a limited product of the Meijiya store!
It is also good for products and souvenirs unique to Chuo-ku ^^
A reprint of MY jam, which is in a can and carefully wrapped in wrapping paper.
Meijiya's MY Jam, which is still popular, was released in 1911 under the guidance of Iichiro Shiokawa , who worked on making canned strawberry jam in Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture.
It is as close as possible to the manufacturing method at the time when only strawberries and zalame sugar were cooked in a kettle, and it has a rich texture.
We can also taste the nostalgic taste of jam, which was enjoyed by high-cala people over 100 years ago.
This year marks the 131st anniversary of its founding, and the Meijiya Kyobashi store is becoming even more brilliant.
Various events are also held in the store, so be sure to check out the information before going out.
