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

Eitaro Sohonho's products are all accompanied by interesting stories that cannot be passed through.

I'm going to write it short, but it's got this amount.

I would like to introduce two products this time and the next time.

Here, I will call "Eitaro Sohonho" "Eitaro" with familiarity.

　

１．The story of Kintsuba

　

A round shape in the shape of a sword tsuba. It is made of thinly stretched wheat dough and baked with sesame oil. We have not changed the manufacturing method from Edo.

The first Eitaro (the third generation Yasubee Hosoda) was baking at a stall.

　

The company name Eitaro was originally "Izutsuya".

"Because Eitaro was doing it, Eitaro's shop, Eitaro-chan, was told by a customer, and I decided to make it a company name."

In the past, near the bustling Nihonbashi Fish Bank, there was a sightsee hut, just around Futon Nishikawa-san, Cored Nihonbashi. I was selling Kintsuba stalls on the road called "Kiharadana". Karuko, who works on the fish shore, is especially proud of the transportation business that is proud of now, and Omeen and this Kintsuba are good, not only good, but also big and hungry, so Eitaro and Eitaro were very popular, as if they were a bit clogged when they were hungry.

　

It is Kintsuba with such a history. Mr. Eitaro, who also existed at that time, also remains in a round shape.

In the Edo period, there are anecdotes that were also written in Kawayanagi and popular songs.

　

"I want to eat the samurai's child Kintsuba" It is related to the sword.

　

`` What I want to eat even if the season increases is the bank's kintsubasatsuma potato '' Even if the geisha of Yoshiwara's playground increase the normal season by 10 years, Kintsuba sold at bank = Nihonzutsumi is equivalent to sweet potato = grilled sweet potato Is that right?

　

Here, Mr. Tyama No. 3 at work (the same last name is 3 people. I'm a sweet boy.

"Eitaro loves black honey buns only in winter. This time, I bought a brown sugar walnut gold brim. The best match is the walnut and bean paste in it. It was a Japanese confectionery that had never been eaten before, with a deep taste that could be said to be a Western confectionery that could not be thought of as anko. Anyway, it was delicious."

　

２．The story of Umeboshi candy

　

It's not the name of the shop. The shape of the triangular pinched with the fingers resembles dried plums, and the fashionable Edo children named it "Umeboshi candy". That's why it doesn't taste plums, and it's not sour. That's fine for Edo kid. That's good. There's no problem.

　

"Shi" of Umeboshi candy. This is used for the pawn shop's "shi" or for shiruko. I use this as a guess so that I don't become "dying, DIE".

　

Eitaro continues to adhere to Edo's manufacturing method. The timing of boiling down the syrup on a high temperature open fire and dropping it from the pot is worth a look of the craftsman's eyes. When the temperature and hardness are moderate, molded into triangles.

　

Triangle. It is a gift of careful not to damage the mouth and to prevent the candy from missing. Also, the fact that the mouth is not rough is evidence of high sugar purity. In the Meiji and Taisho eras when cosmetics were scarce, the upper geisha Maiko and others said that if they applied this candy to their lips and then put on lipstick, the lips did not get rough and the red glowed, so they bought them for Tokyo souvenirs.

　

There was also a fan of the celebrity at that time. There must have been a lot, but I would like to introduce only two people.

Takashi Hara, the prime minister of the Taisho era, was known as the commoner minister.

When he returned to his parents' home in Iwate, he bought his mother's favorite Umeboshi candy as a souvenir.

The novelist, Takeshi Kaiko. I went to Amazon and ate it on a boat. Umeboshi candy appears in the novel that I wrote.

This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" as the Bible.

This time, I interviewed Mr. Rko at the workplace.

The food repo is Mr. Si.

　

The fresh strawberry sweets shop opened on April 15 on the basement floor of the Takashimaya Nihonbashi store.

I would like to introduce you to Mr.

　

AUDREY has opened its first store in Yokohama Takashimaya as a brand limited to Takashimaya.

This is the first store in Tokyo as the second store.

　

AUDREY is the name that is also used in the name of the strawberry variety.

I give priority to the most delicious strawberries at that time.

We spoke with Mr. Kimura, Chief of the Japanese and Western Confectionery Section at the Takashimaya Nihonbashi store.

It has been popular since its opening, and in particular, limited quantities of products can be lined with dozens of people before Takashimaya's opening. It is sold out at the same time as the store opens.

↑　The limited quantity product in June is Grey Shea bouquet box. The popular Gray Shea is packed like a bouquet in a gift box.

　

↑　"Gray Shea" is the most popular that must be sold out after limited products. There are butter cream and freeze-dried strawberries in the langdosha. There is also "Gray Shea Chocolate", a bittersweet chocolate cream.

　

↑　The left is Gray Shea Lucks, the newly released Gray Shea Lucks, and the right is Hello Berry, the second most popular baked confectionery. This is also sold out.

　

↑　On the left is the same audley as the store name, and the whole strawberry is riding on the chocolate. The right is Audrey Demy, half fresh strawberries are coated with champagne ganache.

　

This is Mr. Si's Audrey Demy's Shokurepo.

"The moment you take it home and open the box, the scent of strawberries is fluffy ... The texture is crisp, the sour freshness of strawberries (on this day was Amaouude), this is the sweetness of chocolate and the best match. Let's go well with champagne."

That's right.

　

↑　Both are long-shanti. Wrap whole strawberry in fluffy whipped cream and coated with chocolate thinly. I'm on a biscuy.

　

↑　The left is ruby. The candle-like jelly attracts the eyes. Refreshing dessert of cookies, milk jelly, and strawberry jelly. It's less sweet. The right is cute berry. Raspberry-flavored shanti cream is contained in a fluffy busse made of butter and rice flour.

　

・・No matter which one you eat, you will have a blissful moment.

I wonder if it's perfect for a gift. There are plenty of assortment from 773 yen to 3,000 yen range.

It's affordable and delicious, just like a souvenir.

By noon, I think you can get anything other than limited products, but after 1:00 pm, some items will be sold out.

As soon as possible when you buy it.

　

 

 

This is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" as Canon.

　

Continuing from the first time, we interviewed Mr. O at the workplace.

It seems that today's interview destination does not apply to Canon, a gift, but we regard the product as a "fresh gift to home" and a "delicious reward for yourself" and visited Tsukiji Nakajima Fisheries Nihonbashi store. Did.

　

Tsukiji Nakajima Suisan was founded in 1925. We are working on the spread and development of a new fish food culture as a retail and wholesaler of marine products and processed products.

For example, in sushi, that "1-piece wrap sushi" is sold. This is said that Tsukiji Nakajima Fisheries was developed as a pioneer in the industry. It seems that set sushi is the main in these days, but it seems that it is still sold in Kansai.

The Nihonbashi store opened about 15 years ago. It is located on the first basement floor of Nihonbashi Takashimaya.

We talked to Mr.

"The sales floor is most busy in the evening. I have the impression that there are many gourmet elderly customers. The recommendations are Toki Salmon and Isaki, and the bonito is also delicious at this time."

When I saw it, it seemed that there were many familiar customers, and I was casually asking the clerk about fish dishes.

All the clerks were like "a fish concierge that I can't care about."

↑　"Nihonbashi Food Oichi", which is held mainly at Nihonbashi Takashimaya at the end of the month, 1, Hamo no Yubiki.

↑　Left, 2, seasonal sashimi assortment, right, recommended shellfish assortment

↑　On the left is sweetfish in the foreground, and on the right is bonito Tosa sashimi, bluefish, scallop scallop, boiler firefly squid from the left.

All of them look very fresh and delicious.
