This is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a capital letter.
Today, we visited Akiyama Shoten, a bonito wholesaler from Tsukiji Outer Market.
The shop is wrapped in a good scent of fresh bonito flakes.
"Waku Waku Tour" hosted by Chuo-ku Tourism Association Tsukiji Outer Market Course Part 1 on September 15, Akiyama Shoten was taken care of by Rosmari.
Akiyama Shoten is a long-established bonito specialty store founded in Shiba in 1916 (Daisho 5).
After the earthquake, Ginjiro Akiyama moved the shop to Tsukiji with the relocation of the fish market to Tsukiji.
Kumiko Akiyama, the current president, is the fourth generation. This is the wife of the late third generation Kaneichiro Akiyama (Shoichiro).
Our motto is "Always high-quality bonito flakes" and "Leave fresh fragrance as it is". I will spare no effort or effort.
My name is Akiyama Shoten ...
① A pioneer who pioneered an unprecedented system in the Taisho era, "delivering shavings to restaurants, etc."
Until then, chefs at restaurants and wives and children at home were cutting bonito flakes themselves.
So the first promises, "I'll deliver what I cut in the morning."
It's just supply and demand.
② The ancestor of threads.
A thread is made by cutting a tuna knot into a thread. It is mainly used to decorate dishes. Until then, Mr. Itamae was cutting himself with glass fragments.
In our shop, we sell it as "Itoga Ki". Because it is often used for weddings, it is a congratulatory character.
You also had a patent right before.
However, he said that he deposited the patent with the bonito union in Tokyo with the strong intention of the first generation, saying, "Even if he owns it as it is, it will not spread widely to the public."
Other good bonito flakes are also served in Fujimi, Chiyoda-ku and Tokyo grand shrine near Iidabashi.
Incidentally, the roof of the shrine is generally ...
Chigi: A member crossed at both ends of the roof.
Bonito (Katsuogi): A member arranged in parallel on the roof so that it is right angled to the ridge.
It is said that the shape resembles a bonito flake.
・・It's on board. It's related to bonito flakes.
Bonito is a kind of genus. The genus Pinaceae.
In English, twigs or skipjack tuna. The bonito flakes are dried bonito flakes.
Katsuobushi is made by boiling and wood-smoking fillets of raw bonito and then sun drying them several times after fermenting with a fungus.
(Boil the raw bonito, add mold, and dry it several times in the sun.)
・・Mr. HK, thank you very much for your English translation. ・・・
Bonitobushi itself is often used as a wedding gift. This is a symbol of a good married couple who is perfect when combined with the bonito "Obushi (also called the spine)" and "Mebushi (also called the belly-bushi)". In addition, the combined shape resembles Luo of the turtle, which is also a symbol of longevity. Write "Samurai Katsuo" to celebrate the birth of the baby, celebrate entrance, and celebrate the joy. It's a triple accelerator in the celebration world.
・・I've stopped.
We interviewed President Kumiko Akiyama (pictured right), the wife of the second generation president, and Kazuko Akiyama (pictured left).
I have a lot of things I have told you.
〇 Most of our customers are professionals.
After purchasing fish, come to the store to select bonito and shaved bushi.
By the way, a professional ...
①I like my back. It's noisy when you want to taste your favorite bonito flakes. I like light backs.
The abdomen has a rich body because it has fat, but rather it may be powdery and cloudy.
②Unique temperature setting.
Bonitobushi is usually volatile, with flowers opening when it exceeds 60 degrees.
However, professionals consider tools such as zundo, and say "70 degrees (because it goes down a little)".
In addition, Akiyama Shoten can teach you various things about bonito flakes and others.
〇 Freezers and refrigerators are good for bonito, shaved knots and storage.
However, be careful of moisture and mold.
〇 When cutting bonito, it is delicious to cut thinly. It's different. It's nice.
Thickness comes out. It's too strong.
Basically, it becomes much lighter except for the blood portion.
Stop your strength. Delicate. The color is also thin.
〇 Satsumabushi and Arabushi are smoked.
The main section (honbushi), the dead section (karebushi), the main section, and the finishing section, which are molded in the rough section and matured while draining water.
That doesn't mean that Arabushi is a second grade product.
〇 Tunabushi is made from a young bluefin tuna fish, a Japanese horse mackerel. I don't use blood from the beginning.
・・It was very helpful.
Please tell me how to use bonito flakes effectively for each dish.
Of course, I'd like it. Please contact us.
Thank you for waiting, I would like to introduce the products at the store. Click here to view it. Would you like a gift?
Rosmari, eating lipo.
Left, bonito shaving thread.
"The thin shape is often entangled with rice and is delicious. Exquisite. Just rice and this shaving will be enough."
On the right, specially selected flower bonito flakes without blood.
"It's delicate and very elegant because it doesn't contain any portion of blood. When you take the dashi, you have a very supple feeling."
