　“Tokyo Island Market”

Take the Tsukiji 4-chome intersection at Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Harumi-dori St. toward Shimbashi, turn left at the next Ichiba Bridge intersection, Namikidori Street, and are on the right hand in front of the former Odabashi.

 

　　The shop is open with the president and staff who came from Izu-Oshima Island for half a year after opening.

 

　　What we sell is a product from the islands of Izu. In addition, all Ogasawara's items are rarely seen in Tokyo.

　

When you ask, it is said that wild plants and fresh fish are lined up depending on the season.

Also, if the ship is canceled due to storms or weather, it will not reach here.

 

　The president is a 300-year-old Kusaya manufacturer at Izu Oshima Haki Port.

There are saury dried saury in the store.

　I asked you to talk about the migration of Sanma, pointing to a map of Japan on the wall, explaining the flow of the Kuroshio Current between Oshima and Toshima Island, and that the west wind in winter does not blow Oshima thanks to Izu Peninsula.

 

　What arrived by boat today

　(Yamana) Then, tomorrow's bamboo shoots

　　　

　(Dried fish) These include flying fish and whisper of white horse mackerel.　

　Yesterday, the sea was rough on the island and there was no fresh fish.

　(processed products) So, the island chili seaweed karashi soy sauce island shochu camellia oil, etc., I just saw it for the first time.

　It seems that people in Chiba Prefecture buy a lot of seaweed for some reason.

　

 

　The president

　Why don't you take this to me a chili pepper?

　It's so spicy that tears come out.　

　He said with a smile that this is the taste of island peppers.

　

　

 

　Here Tsukiji Outer Market is different from the island.

　You said your business was too hard.

 

　He said that he would like him to taste "hard kusaya".

　

 

 

　　Sir

　When you visit Tsukiji Outer Market

　By all means

　At Tokyo Island Market

  Please enjoy the atmosphere of Izu.　

 

 

On the morning of the 19th, when I was taking a pleasant walk, "New Castle" was closed. There was a sticker in the shop, and many people wrote it.

 

I'm afraid I've never eaten it. I wanted to try it at least once. What kind of taste did the sweet and spicy “spiced rice” taste?

 

The building that used to be the former Sukiyabashi Hankyu was also demolished. I didn't know even though I was a central inhabitant. If you walk, many buildings are dismantled and built, and you have to go a little.

 

The streets are changing rapidly. It's also attractive, but it was up to I decided to go into the shops I care about.

 

 

　　　　　

 

 

　On the other side of the main street of Kabukiza, there is a shop of Gunma General Information Center "Gunma-chanya".　Here, there are about 700 items such as selected specialty products in the prefecture (sweets, alcohol, agricultural products, folk crafts, crafts, beauty products, goods).

Vegetables and popular products are said to be sent from Gunma Prefecture every day.

　The Kabukiza effect is outstanding, and for two weeks since the opening of the Kabukiza on April 2, nearly three times the number of customers before the opening came to the store. Even now, the number of visitors is almost doubled.

The first floor has specialty products, and the second floor has event information on Gunma Prefecture, photo exhibitions, and an inn introduction corner. What surprised me was that Oze no Sato Katashina Village will be in full bloom in the future. I wanted to go, too.

　　

　When I visited, the mascot character "Gunma-chan" was waving in front of the shop.　Lucky!

 

 

2nd year of correspondent. I'm going to post it soon.

There is something that I've been wondering for a long time as the row of cherry trees continues.

If you walk toward Showa-dori with Shin-ohashi-dori St. behind, you will find Takashimaya ahead of it.

　

It's a pump in front of the building. No explanation, just "I can't drink this water."

There's only a bill on it. But water doesn't come out of the pump.

It's a strange sight. If you have any questions, please let me know.

This year, I would like to send out the charm of Chuo-ku with the theme of unexpected sights.
