The ancestor of Ginza Wakamatsu that I want to eat at the main store

[Mapo ★] September 9, 2015 14:00

It is sometimes sold at events in the basement of Depa.
Ginza Wakamatsu, the birthplace of anmitsu.
The main store is located on the first floor of the core building in Ginza 5-chome.

A long-established soup powder shop founded in 1894.
And it seems that anmitsu was born in Ginza Wakamatsu in 1930.

There were also Kokura An, Matcha and Cream Anmitsu.
Here is the original Anmitsu!

Azuki beans, peas, agar, black honey and ingredients and production areas.
It seems that he is very particular about it.

Actually, I'm not good at grain bean paste, so I love koshi bean paste.

I didn't go to eat because I thought it was a grainy all the time (laughs).

I'm glad that there is an anmitsu with koshi bean paste!
In addition, the koshi bean paste on Wakamatsu's anmitsu is exceptional.

The throat is smooth, and the texture is so thin that you are surprised.
It was not persistent, but it was moist, and it was an exquisite koshi bean paste.

 
It's also delicious to eat with koshi bean paste and agar ~ (* ^^ *)
I wanted to buy only the bean paste and go home.

You can also buy it at a special event under Depa.
It's exceptional to eat anmitsu filled with pottery at the main store~

By the way, I felt like I knew Wakamatsu for a long time.
It seems to be in Takashimaya in Namba.

Ginger syrup shaved ice limited to Ginza Main Store

[Mapo ★] September 8, 2015 14:00

Confiture e Provence, which I've introduced on the correspondent blog before.
At that time, I wrote an article about Ginger syrup and baked goods in Ginza, which are signboard products.

This time, I went to the cafe of the main store, which is also limited to the main store.

There was also a menu called shaved ice in August.
I was attracted to "Amaouto Shimizu Hakuto" and ordered it.

It is said that it was developed exclusively for shaved ice.
There is a milk ginger syrup.
I put the confiture in the bottle there at my own pace
I'm going to eat it.

 

Confitures originally mean the same as jam, but they're not sure.
You can pickle this confiture fruit with a syrup.
It's boiled and smoother than jam.

Ice will sink a little when put on the confiture.
It is fluffy and ice using water selected as one of the 100 best waters in Heisei.

 

Milk is rich, and ginger's pungency stimulates sweating action.
And the freshness and sweetness of the fruit are combined.
It's like an adult shaved ice.

This is shaved ice of bananas and mango confiture.
The chandelier in the bottle of ginger syrup is also cute!

Shaved ice seems to be sold all year round.
It seems that you can enjoy various flavors depending on the season.

 

Ginger syrup is also available at Tokyo Station.

The main store is located on Namiki-dori St. in Ginza 1-chome.
