Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
We have introduced two places in Chuo-ku where you can enjoy overseas culture and cuisine.
（Do you need an airplane? Excursions in Greece and Italy、[Russian Year in Japan] Russian culture to enjoy in Chuo-ku）
Have you already checked the Scottish Gin & Tonic Gallery, which is open at Suitengumae Station only in August?



There are many restaurants in the ward that serve English cuisine, but there are many restaurants in the ward.
This shop only sells Scotland gins for August only.
I was invited to a fashionable gin bottle that I don't usually see, and went to the store....



The interior is full of Scotland!
Harris Gin's poster, a poster showing the state of the Hebridez Islands.
Harris Tweed goods, maps showing gin distillation in Scotland, various tartans...
Perhaps because I've lived in Scotland, I'm not tired of watching it all the time.



As mentioned above, gin is the main restaurant, but in August we also offer lunch with Scotland ingredients specially.
You can have an open sandwich with Scotland smoked salmon and scallops tartar.
This time, I ordered smoked salmon open sandwiches and gin tea.



The thick salmon smoked with peat had a nostalgic taste, saying, "This is Scotland salmon!"
When it comes to fresh and delicious fish, Japanese names are often listed even when searching all over the world.
As for smoked salmon, it's still Scotland.
At a supermarket in U.K., besides Smoked Salmon, it was written as Scottish Smoked Salmon.
As you can see the package, Scotland smoked salmon is exceptional in Japan!
Since it is higher than those from other production areas, places where you can eat this way in Japan are very valuable.

And the cheddar cheese from Scotland that was accompanied was
According to the clerk, "I'm salty, so please tear it little by little."
It's rich in Japanese cheese, and the smoked flavor goes well with open sand.
It tastes better for whiskey than wine, and I also felt Scottish here.
This cheese seems to be available on the saketry website.
It was exhibited in a cute show window inside the store.



And the gin tea I ordered is non-alcoholic tea.
It is a blend of ingredients used in botanical gin scenting, such as Juniper Berry, Angelica Route, Koreander Seed, lycolis, cinnamon, orange peel, etc.
From this photo, you can see Juniper Berry, which is famous for its fragrance of gin.
There is no doubt that it is a rare drink that allows you to know the source of the gin scent.



On this visit, I ordered the main gin and missed it.
Here you can taste the premium gin of Scotland (especially from the distillery in the islands), which will be the first landing in Japan.



They are scented with materials harvested on the island where the distillery is located.
Some of them used Angelica, which was brought to Oakney by Nord people in the past.
A selection of gins that condensed land materials, history and culture
It is a restaurant that I would like to recommend for those who like alcohol!
