It is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a range.
When I am very tired, I come to amazake Yokocho.
We visited Futaba of Tofu in Yokocho, Ningyocho, amazake.
Now, in addition to products such as tofu and ganmo, there are amazake and tofu donuts that were not introduced last time.
I'll introduce you from amazake.
The name of amazake Yokocho is derived from the sweet liquor store called Owariya in the early Meiji era, which was located on the south side of the entrance of Yokocho, at the present Kyo confectionery Gyokueido (in front of Futaba's name).
Yokocho at that time was located on the south side, and it was said that the road width was narrow.
The land readjustment after the Great Kanto Earthquake has become the current width, and the name is also known as "amazake Yokocho".
The origin of amazake itself dates back to the Kofun period, and in Chronicles of Japan, there is a description of Amanotamuzake, the origin of amazake.
・・・ It's quite desensible, but in short it's an ancient Japanese drink.
amazake contains enough nutrients to be called 'drink'. It's a nutrient to drink. It seems that there was an image of a hot drink in winter, but the effects of summer batter measures, fatigue recovery, and beauty have been recognized for a long time. It has been attracting attention in recent years, but in Haiku it is a seasonal word for summer (July). In the past, amazake's peddling was common in summer.
In amazake, there are amazake made from sake cake and amazake made from rice koji. Be careful if you are not good at alcohol because amazake liquor contains alcohol. On the other hand, rice koji amazake is made by fermenting koji, and sweetness comes out at the fermentation stage, so no sugar is used, of course, non-alcoholic.
Tofu's amazake is amazake, an original brand of amazake Yokocho, and amazake made of koji from the United States, which is now attracting attention.
I asked the wife of the shop. "Our amazake is ordering production from the Izu factory. Some are made from Shiga rice, ancient rice and brown rice (top). "
This is the person who drinks amazake's food repo. I had "Amazake (cup) that can be drunk right away".
"I was able to feel the true sweetness of rice and the sweetness of nature."
Next is soy milk donut.
It seems that they use fresh soy milk made first in the morning. A healthy snack. It's popular because it's not too sweet.
Finally, the wife of the shop talks about the customer.
"It's a cycling tour, some people come by every day. I hear it's an energy charge here. ・・ ・ A foreign woman who came every day for three days while staying at a nearby hotel to eat jumbo cancer and soy milk donuts. When I talked in English, I was not good at it, vegetarian, and I came to my house because there was nothing I could eat at the hotel due to dietary restrictions. There are some foreign couples who eat at home. amazake explains in English "Farmen Ted Rice (fermented rice, translated directly: fermented rice)", but it seems to pull it once. amazake soft serve ice cream is more popular among foreigners. ・・ ・ And there are some Taiwanese people who visit the "Newcomer" location. "
By the way, Mr. HK, a correspondent, gave me an appropriate translation of "amazake a sweet drink made from fermented rice." Thank you, Mr. HK.
