There is Shimane in Tokyo~Nihonbashi Shimanekan~ ①

[rosemary sea] August 8, 2017 16:00

This is the rosemary sea, which approaches "gifts and I enjoy myself."

 

Shimane Prefecture's antenna shop, Nihonbashi Shimanekan, has been promoting Shimane Prefecture as if "I bring Shimane to Tokyo" since its opening in 2003.

In addition to the merchandise corner, there is also an information counter.

Mr. Kko of the Rosmari Food Lipo Corps said that when he visited this information counter before his trip to Shimane, he gave me very careful advice.

Nihonbashi Shimanekan Shimane Prefectural Tokyo Office Director Kurinomiya, Mr. Yasui, and Mr. Irie were taken care of.

 

Let me introduce you.

Dashi, soy sauce and salt corner

 What is your recommendation here?

 

DSC02685a.jpgIt's a flying fish

  Manufacturer: Igeta Soy Sauce Co., Ltd.

  Sales source: Ama (Ama) Products

 

It is a gem filled with the flavor and taste of the flying fish (chin) of the Sea of Japan.

Based on natural aged Japanese Marudai bean soy sauce, so-called "Namano soy sauce", it is finished by condensing the elegant aroma and taste of flying fish.

You can use it in various ways, such as pots, boiled dishes, and tempura soup, but rosmari has been used as udon soup that you have hit yourself for a long time.

It goes very well with noodles. The flavor is different.

The corner of Izumo soba

It is said that Naomasa Matsudaira (a grandchild of Ieyasu Tokugawa), who inherited the trace of the Kyogoku family and entered Japan from Matsumoto, a country of Shinano, brought in the culture of soba from Shinano.

Izumo soba, along with Wanko soba and Togakushi soba, is considered to be one of the three major soba noodles.

Because it uses the ground buckwheat flour of Gensoba, it is characterized by its dark color and high aroma.

Rutin is also abundant.

Compared to the whitish and elegant soba of Edo and Shinshu, it is rough and men-like soba.

The koshi is also strong and the flavor stands out.

Izumo soba has "Warigo soba" and "Kamaage soba".

Each has its own unique way of eating in Izumo style.

Wariko soba usually comes out in three-tiered lacquerware (wariko).

Put the soup stock itself near the bowl.

After eating one step, add the juice of the end of eating to the next step without waste.

Kamaage soba is a method of pouring juice into soba noodles in soba hot water.

Boiled soba is not washed with water. It's unique.

Wakakusa

 Saiundo

 

In the first place, the roots of Matsue's Japanese sweets are feudal lord, the seventh generation of the Matsue clan, Harusato Matsudaira (Fumai).

It is reported that the first generation of Saiundo was reprinted in the middle of the Meiji era, a confectionery called "Wakakusa" used in the tea ceremony, which was also famous as a tea master.

This sweet is famous for those who have knowledge of tea ceremony.

Gyuhi, a kneaded glutinous rice from Shimane Prefecture, is made in a rectangular shape and covered in bright green sobo.

  Ichikido (Ichirikido)

 

This is also reported as sweets ordered by Matsue's palace during tea ceremonies and Buddhist memorial service occasions.

At that time, it was called "retaining confectionery" because it was forbidden to sell elsewhere.

A confectionery made by launching an elegant and light-flavored peeled bean paste with originally adjusted Wasanbon sugar.

The sweetness of Wasanbon sugar exudes a taste of elegance with the delicateness of shattering.

DSC02732a.jpgIwami Kagura

Introducing only one from the tourism section.

Iwami Kagura dances with gorgeous costumes and expressive masks woven with gold thread and silver thread, along with a unique sorrowful sound of flutes and a lively drum music based on Japanese mythology.

It is a traditional performing art that has been handed down since ancient times in the Ishimi region of western Shimane Prefecture.

For the children who grew up looking at Kagura, the father who is Maiko seems to be a longing.

Iwami Kagura seems to have been handed down as part of everyday life.

Kagura's performances are usually held somewhere in Shimane Prefecture on Saturday and Sunday, but for memories of your trip to Shimane, how about watching Kagura?

 

・・・ The introduction of Nihonbashi Shimanekan will continue. I'm looking forward to it.

 

Notice

Nihonbashi Shimanekan will be temporarily closed from September 19, 2017 (Tuesday) due to the earthquake-resistant construction of the tenant building.

The reopening is scheduled for February next year.

In addition, it seems that tourist information and settlement consultation will be operated at the temporary office even during the closed period.
