Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Join us on a tour for correspondents (it is a privilege of correspondents who can tour places that are not usually open to the public)
The other day, I went to Tsukiji Outer Market with Mr. Kozaru, a senior correspondent who was getting along well.

One of the merits of becoming a correspondent is that you can also interact with those who are interested in the history, culture, gourmet, events, etc. of Chuo-ku.
If you are looking for a companion to walk around the town, or if you are looking for a pioneering partner for Ginza / Tsukiji gourmet, please
Why don't you take the Chuo-ku sightseeing test and aim to be a correspondent?

By the way, the new specialty of Tsukiji in the title is the grand opening on January 11th.
You can have it at TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store produced by Tsukiji Oomiya Beef Store.
The place is on the left side of the narrow passage between Isemasa, a marine product, and Tsukiji Kimuraya, famous for Anpan.


(It's around where you can see the signboard.)

The interior of the store has a brick motif that reminds you of Tsukiji during the Tsukiji Reservation period, and is stylish.
And because it is located behind the alley as you can see in the store name.
It's calm enough to think, "Is it really a Tsukiji Outer Market?", It looks like a hideaway.
Isn't it a perfect place when you want to relax a little in Tsukiji, where there are many people?





And the menu that is expected to become a new specialty is the menu.
Tsukiji sake lees Milk Mashiro (MASHIRO) and roast beef rice ball (RBO).



The visit was a pre-opening period before the grand opening.
We were able to get more (Plain) for half price of 100 yen!
The white rabbit (based on the legend of Kaga's Moon Rabbit) is very cute and seems to be a girl.
It's not just cute.



This drink was made of rice offered to the god of Tsukiji Namiki Shrine.
It is a blend of precious sake lees and milk from Kaga Hyakumangoku famous sake "Manzai Raku".
It is a drink close to the god who has been watching Tsukiji for a long time since the landfill and construction of Tsukiji.
It can be enjoyed by drivers, regardless of men and women of all ages.
Another point is that it is non-alcoholic.

The scent is very similar to the usual amazake, but I was surprised to drink it!
Certainly, you can see that sake lees are contained, but the richness of milk is as effective as sake lees, and it is very smooth.
It is a sweet that you drink with a new sense that you did not seem to have ever existed.

And sake lees have a lot of nice effects.
It is said that sesame, matcha, and kinako flavors are also recommended because each taste comes out.
Next time, I would like to have other flavors.



Also, the roast beef in the case seemed to be too delicious.
I also had roast beef rice balls!
This is a roast beef of serloin, which has been established for 90 years this year, with the reputation of Oomiya Beef Store.
This is a kind of collaboration product that incorporates ingredients from shops in Tsukiji Outer Market as ingredients.

It seems that there will be six types later, but the tools at the time of the visit were "Oomiya Special Ponzutare", "Fujimoto Shoten Yuzukosho", "Edo Ichi Iida Mizansho", and "Suita Shoten Shisoshi Okonbu".
All of them look delicious and get lost.
Meanwhile, we chose "Suita Shoten Shisoshi Okonbu" (Kozaru-san) and "Fujimoto Shoten Yuzu Kosho" (Hans).

The roast beef is very soft and I think, "Isn't it easier to bite than laver rice balls?"
Because it uses about 4g of roast beef, it has a volume.
I was thrilled that the rice ball part is rolled multiple times instead of one roast beef.

According to the shop, yuzu pepper is different from what you usually imagine, and it was fresh and a little bit crisp.
That's exactly right, the scent is very good, and I feel like "Yuzu pepper was so delicious."
The solid taste and commitment of the store providing the ingredients were also shining.

Tsukiji is also famous as a tourist destination, but it is also a workplace.
The TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store introduced this time excites the Tsukiji outside market with new products (new specialties).
It seems that people working in Tsukiji can also drop in casually and aim to make it a shop that can be used.
Of course, the word of mouth of tourists is also helpful, but it is those who work in the land who know hidden famous shops.
Even in Tsukiji, there are many shops that have become popular because they are said to be "Tsukiji professional purveyors" or "Tsukiji site related purveyors".
Therefore, it is also important to gain the support of those who work at Tsukiji.

This is currently called "Roast Beef Onigiri (RBO)", but we are actually looking for a name! (Deadline is February 28, 2019)



For those who have been hired, what! A meat chunk of sirloin roast beef equivalent to 3kg will be presented.
When you showed me how much it actually is, it seems to be this much.
Isn't it quite a lot?



When you come to Tsukiji, please taste this rice ball and participate in the name recruitment campaign.
There's not a lot of such a luxurious and hungry campaign.

In addition, mackerel miso boiled (frozen), which was taken over by Chiaki third generation of fish riverbank, is also treated as a hidden specialty.
It's thick, has a strong taste and looks delicious.



In addition, we also sell goods such as fashionable bags, T-shirts, and can badges with cute rabbits.
When you shop at Tsukiji, the number of plastic bags will increase, right?
In such a case, this bag is just right for putting your luggage together, and the town is well attached.
I'm glad that it can be used as a souvenir of Tsukiji and can be used everyday.



The shop is kind and comfortable, and I think it is a shop that will become more and more talked about in the future.
Why don't you go to taste the new specialties a little earlier?
