There are several long-established department stores in Chuo-ku, but when you enter a few backs from the main street, there are still many small private stores. Tofu shop, dyeing source, fruit and vegetable shop, fresh fish shop, kimono shop, Japanese tea laver shop, Japanese and Western confectionery shop, etc.
One of them is the Daikintoriten (Dakintoriten) store in Nihonbashihamacho. It's a shop that sells chicken meat. You can turn left at the traffic light in front of Hamacho Park on Kiyosubashi-dori toward Ningyocho, or turn right across the Hamacho Green Road from amazake Yokocho toward Meijiza.
Anyway, it's fresh. When you open the door at the entrance of the shop, you'll find a showcase, and there's only a specialty store in it, all the parts I don't know how to cook. The back of it seems to be a workshop for handling. Perhaps because of wholesale to business partners, many people were working on the day I visited. I think there is no doubt that it will be lined up in the showcase immediately after handling it on the spot.
Actually, I still buy only minced meat, but there are two types of minced meat: "Ochidori" and "Wakadori" (both 110 yen / 100g). When asked about the difference, "Ochidori" was ground at once, and "Wakadori" was ground about three times. When I bought the minced meat and cooked it immediately, what surprised me was that there was almost no acne during cooking. The floating fat is also transparent. And it has a chewy texture because it has been grinded only once, and the fat is rich and umami.
You can also buy chicken eggs from one rose. Of course, it was fresh and delicious.
In the coming season, it's a good idea to buy a chicken bath or a whole grill. I'm impressed by the difference in freshness and taste compared to those sold in packs at supermarkets.
