The nearest station is Shintomicho Station on the subway, along the quiet street between Chuo-ku government office and Tsukiji police station, there is the authentic Italian "S'apposentu diaki" (map below, marked ○).

Here you can taste delicious Italian based on regional cuisine in Sardinia.

By the way, Saposentu (S'apposentu) means "room" in Sard language ().

Aki is the name of the owner chef.

Because it is close to my company, I often use it for lunch.

This lunch menu (PRANZO) comes with a salad (today's salad) and a delicious homemade bread with a choice of pasta (today's pasta) that you can choose.

Today, I ordered "Sanriku oysters and Chinese cabbage spaghetti". The freshly boiled and chewy pasta is the best.

Inside the store, you can enjoy a pleasant meal in a southern Italy-like atmosphere based on white.

My address is on the first floor of Maeda Building, 1-3-6 Tsukiji.

Hiroshima Brand Shop TAU, an antenna shop in Hiroshima Prefecture, is located along Ginza 1-chome Yanagi-dori St.

By the way, "TAU" means "deliver" in the dialect of Hiroshima.

This "TAU" uses four floors of the building, from the first basement floor to the third floor, from the sales floor where Hiroshima's specialty products are collected, restaurants serving dishes using local ingredients, as well as crafts and professional sports (baseball and soccer) goods corner, event space to communicate the charm of Hiroshima, and so on.

When I entered an antenna shop in many prefectures in Chuo Ward, I would definitely buy something, but what I bought on this day was baked shrimp, throat candy, and cider.

hiros003.JPG 

Yaki shrimp is "Setouchi Sea-produced shrimp" (Onomichi, a town of history and literature)

Throat Candy is "Sedota Setoda Lemon Throat Candy"

Cider is "Setouchi Jijo Lemon & Hassaku Cider" (using natural water of Hiroshima famous water)

All three were made from specialty products from Hiroshima Prefecture and the Seto Inland Sea, and each was delicious.
