This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself."
Eitaro Sohonho's products are all accompanied by interesting stories that cannot be passed through.
I'm going to write it short, but it's got this amount.
I would like to introduce two products this time and the next time.
Here, I will call "Eitaro Sohonho" "Eitaro" with familiarity.
１．The story of Kintsuba
A round shape in the shape of a sword tsuba. It is made of thinly stretched wheat dough and baked with sesame oil. We have not changed the manufacturing method from Edo.
The first Eitaro (the third generation Yasubee Hosoda) was baking at a stall.
The company name Eitaro was originally "Izutsuya".
"Because Eitaro was doing it, Eitaro's shop, Eitaro-chan, was told by a customer, and I decided to make it a company name."
In the past, near the bustling Nihonbashi Fish Bank, there was a sightsee hut, just around Futon Nishikawa-san, Cored Nihonbashi. I was selling Kintsuba stalls on the road called "Kiharadana". Karuko, who works on the fish shore, is especially proud of the transportation business that is proud of now, and Omeen and this Kintsuba are good, not only good, but also big and hungry, so Eitaro and Eitaro were very popular, as if they were a bit clogged when they were hungry.
It is Kintsuba with such a history. Mr. Eitaro, who also existed at that time, also remains in a round shape.
In the Edo period, there are anecdotes that were also written in Kawayanagi and popular songs.
"I want to eat the samurai's child Kintsuba" It is related to the sword.
`` What I want to eat even if the season increases is the bank's kintsubasatsuma potato '' Even if the geisha of Yoshiwara's playground increase the normal season by 10 years, Kintsuba sold at bank = Nihonzutsumi is equivalent to sweet potato = grilled sweet potato Is that right?
Here, Mr. Tyama No. 3 at work (the same last name is 3 people. I'm a sweet boy.
"Eitaro loves black honey buns only in winter. This time, I bought a brown sugar walnut gold brim. The best match is the walnut and bean paste in it. It was a Japanese confectionery that had never been eaten before, with a deep taste that could be said to be a Western confectionery that could not be thought of as anko. Anyway, it was delicious."
２．The story of Umeboshi candy
It's not the name of the shop. The shape of the triangular pinched with the fingers resembles dried plums, and the fashionable Edo children named it "Umeboshi candy". That's why it doesn't taste plums, and it's not sour. That's fine for Edo kid. That's good. There's no problem.
"Shi" of Umeboshi candy. This is used for the pawn shop's "shi" or for shiruko. I use this as a guess so that I don't become "dying, DIE".
Eitaro continues to adhere to Edo's manufacturing method. The timing of boiling down the syrup on a high temperature open fire and dropping it from the pot is worth a look of the craftsman's eyes. When the temperature and hardness are moderate, molded into triangles.
Triangle. It is a gift of careful not to damage the mouth and to prevent the candy from missing. Also, the fact that the mouth is not rough is evidence of high sugar purity. In the Meiji and Taisho eras when cosmetics were scarce, the upper geisha Maiko and others said that if they applied this candy to their lips and then put on lipstick, the lips did not get rough and the red glowed, so they bought them for Tokyo souvenirs.
There was also a fan of the celebrity at that time. There must have been a lot, but I would like to introduce only two people.
Takashi Hara, the prime minister of the Taisho era, was known as the commoner minister.
When he returned to his parents' home in Iwate, he bought his mother's favorite Umeboshi candy as a souvenir.
The novelist, Takeshi Kaiko. I went to Amazon and ate it on a boat. Umeboshi candy appears in the novel that I wrote.
