A variety of sweets limited to the main store of Ginza Matsuzaki Senbei

[Mapo ★] January 28, 2011 13:00

Ginza Matsuzaki Senbei is a long-established rice cracker that has been over 190 years old.
There are other stores such as Tokyo Station and Ginza Mitsukoshi.
When you walk from Sukiyabashi to Harumi-dori St. toward Wako, the main store is located on the left corner.

There are several products that are limited to the main store in this main store.

★Edo board Kasutera
It arrives every Friday at about 2 o'clock.
At one point, it is almost sold out on Saturdays and Sundays, so it is difficult to buy it even if you go on weekdays.
I've been full of reservations for weeks ahead, but now I feel calm.

Kobe also has a soft baked famous confectionery, but it's a bit similar.
This tiled rice cracker-like castella is moist and very delicious.

★Shami-torso (tile rice cracker)
I bought it several times as a souvenir for returning home to Osaka.
Not only the taste but also the cute pattern with plenty of seasonal feeling is attractive.
You can buy a standard shami torso at department stores.
It seems that the seasonal pattern is limited to the main store.
Spring, summer, rainy season, Christmas, I bought various seasonal items (*^^*)

It's my favorite sweets at Matsuzaki Senmochi.

★Oedo tile and fried rice loaf oil taste
Oedo tiles are also limited to the main store.
This tile cracker is a package like an aerial photograph of Edo.
It's good as a souvenir for homecoming.

The fried rice cake is not limited to the main store, but I bought it in limited quantities last November.
It seemed to have a good reputation and has been resold since the beginning of this year.
There was also fried rice with salty and soy sauce flavor.
The crispy fried rice cake has a ra oil flavor, a little spicy and delicious!

Matsuzaki Senmochi also has a tea ceremony, but that article will be the next time.♪

The blog written by the president is also interesting.

A variety of Japanese sweets from Ginza Tamaya

[Mapo ★] January 25, 2011 16:00

Speaking of Tamaya, it is a shop famous for its Tokyo souvenir "Gomatamago".
The main store is located along Showa-dori, 7-chome in Ginza.


Cookies such as sesame eggs and sakura Hitohira are available.
It is often seen on the premises of Tokyo Station.
There are many products in the main store that you can't find anywhere else.

It is called Tamanoko matching, packed with bean paste in the middle of your own.
There are times when we eat freshly made food.
I couldn't eat grain bean paste, so I bought a sesame egg pudding.

The caramel part is black sesame paste.
It is a mysterious pudding with a Japanese style (*^^*)

And this seems to be a recent product.
Small thorned rice cake

I jumped on because I love Mitarashi dumplings (laughs).
The taste of black sesame and soy sauce is a little darker but delicious!

It's nice to have a large size and 6 pieces.
It's just the right size when you want to eat a little bit.
There are up to 12, 20, 30, 40 pieces.

In addition to the Ginza Main Store, there are also stores at Tokyo Daimaru, Tokyo Station, and the airport.

Umeboshi of Godaian

[Mapo ★] January 18, 2011 09:00

Founded in 1834, it is a shop of a company called Higashi Farm in Wakayama.

There are seven directly managed stores in Wakayama, Osaka and Tokyo.

One of them, GINZA Godaian, is located along the Sotobori-dori St. at 8-chome.

My husband's mother likes umeboshi, so I bought it as a souvenir for homecoming.

Assorted what you like and put it in a box. The box is limited to Ginza (*^^ *)

This Tetra Pak can be carried around or a little snack.

The bottom is plum dried with no seeds I bought for myself. Perfect for a snack!

 That said, it's too expensive for a snack because it's 105 yen per grain (^^;

It's not sour at all, and it's delicious with natural sweetness! I was able to taste it at the shop.

And in addition, I got 3 kinds of Tetra plum dried!

This is also 105 yen per copy, but it's really delicious ~ (* ^^ *)

But there were also 420 yen per grain and 3150 yen per grain.

One seems to be big, but I want to eat it once as a story!

There were many kinds of plum wine.
