Today (July 27), I worked as a guide for "Tsukiji Outer Market Part 1" of the "Waku Waku Tour" hosted by the Tourism Association.
First, the meeting was in front of the convenience store Lawson at the intersection of Harumi-dori St. and Shin-ohashi-dori St. Participants are 10 people, 4 people in the ward and 6 people outside the ward. It means that there were 42 applicants, so they were selected by 4.2 times lottery.
Today's main destinations are "Egg Yaki Daisada", "Nori Hataya Shoten", "Salmon Showa Food", and "Konbu Suita Shoten" located in Tsukiji Outer Market.
"Daisada of egg-yaki" has a branch in the out-of-office market (Tsukiji 4-13-11), as well as in-house market and fish-gashi Yokocho. It has a wide customer base, including high-end sushi restaurants, high-end restaurants, department stores, and high-end supermarkets all over the country. It is carefully hand-baked using carefully selected ground eggs with safe and secure, and has a history of 90 years since the first generation as a manufacturer of egg-yaki.
"Hatoya Nori Store" (Tsukiji 4-14-16) is a dry laver wholesaler in Tsukiji founded in 1930. We handle dried foods such as seaweed and have a wide selection of seaweed from all over Japan, such as Ariake products, and propose seaweed that is suitable not only for grilled seaweed but also for various scenes. In addition, we have a wide selection of dried foods such as nuts and dried fruits as well as seaweed. It is also popular as a souvenir shop where you can feel the vibrant voice of the third generation representative and the style of downtown that still remains in the cityscape outside Tsukiji.
"Showa Food of Salmon" (Tsukiji 4-13-14) selects and ships the highest quality salmon from salmon found throughout Japan. Focusing on natural salmon, red salmon, and autumn salmon, there are also items that are difficult to obtain elsewhere, such as "Southern nose bend", which is nostalgic under the name of "salt pulling", and "Super dry red salmon", which is so spicy that salt erupts. I am.
"Suita Shoten" (4-11-1 Tsukiji) is a long-established kelp that has been operating for more than 120 years. We are proud of a wide selection of products in preparation for professional Japanese food. 95% of kelp is from Hokkaido. However, even in the same Hokkaido product, the taste, texture and dashi differ depending on the production area. It should be used according to the purpose. However, it is not easy to know whether it is a good kelp just by appearance. There is a theory that "white flour is blowing has a lot of umami", but this is not always said. In addition, it can not be said that "natural is better than aquaculture." At specialty stores, we propose the perfect one according to the purpose and budget, so please consult a professional and choose it.
After going around the four shops, pass in front of the Tsukiji Fish Bank and go to Haji Shrine. After that, from Kachidokibashi, today's tour was completed, looking at the newly built Tsukiji Ohashi and Tsukuda / Tsukishima towers and condominiums.
