Recommended Tsukuda Genda Nakaya's Tsukudani

[kimitaku] October 29, 2015 09:00

 We took a walk around Tsukuda 1-chome before noon in the fine autumn weather. 

 Cats also take a nap on the bench of a liquor store.

 Visit the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, head to the Sumida River, turn left at the torii gate and walk.

  The whistle of the ship resonates. ・・・・・

Beyond the right bank is the Sumida River. ・・・・・・

 

 If you go shortly, the sound of a big ventilation fan turns.

And the pure white water vapor makes a "bo-bo" sound and comes out of the house.

 The whole area is filled with savory soy sauce. My stomach has decreased, and in the direction of smelling.

 "Welcome" A full-fledged "Edoben" with a high tail.

 The source of the scent is goby Tsukudani. At the back of the store, it was in the middle of the store.

 When I asked the landlady, he said that he was always ready by this time.

 

 Here Tsukuda is the birthplace of Tsukudani.

 In 1590, Ieyasu Tokugawa was relocated to the Kanto region, and then the residents of Tsukuda moved here from Osaka to Ieyasu. It is said that he started making Tsukishima and Tsukudani in 1645.

It seems that this shop has been making Tsukudani for generations since the first generation Genemon.

 With the scent of Tsukudani that goes to the store and the story of the history ... a time slip to Edo immediately.

 All of Tsukudani is sold by weight. Clams, shirasu, and leaf peppers are all cooked.

The color is different. I'm curious. Good soy sauce so that you can buy it right away and open the bag.

Scent.

 ・・・ It was a full-fledged Edo-mae Tsukudani that goes well with beer and sake.

Yamada Denki has developed LABI, a suburban store centered on Techland, and has opened stores one after another on the Yamanote Line in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Shimbashi, but it finally appears at the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station in Japan.

Moroi Konjac Store (Moroi Foods Co., Ltd.)

[Old Rose] October 25, 2015 09:00

Even on a hot day in October, I passed in front of Moroi Konjac store in Tsukiji.

 

A man was buying a stick-shaped agar in a bag.

He seems to make anmitsu by arranging it by himself.

 

I also bought a stick-shaped agar and ate canned mandarin oranges, pineapples, tsubuan, and black honey.

 

I was impressed by the freshness of the agar.

 

In the past, there were several shops of the same industry, but now it is said that Moroi Konjac shops have become only.

 

Next week, I bought black konjac too!

This is also delicious

If you think it was made in Tsukiji, it feels even more delicious.

We all enjoyed Takarada Ebisu Shrine Bettara City! (City Tour 10)

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] October 24, 2015 09:00

On the evening of 10/20 (Tuesday) on weekdays, we enjoyed "Bettara City" together with the guidance at the Jushi Cafe held by the collaboration station Chuo.

   

The Takarada Ebisu Shrine in Temmacho is the center of Edo development.

"Bettara City" continues as a city lined with offering fish and vegetables for "Ebisu-ko", and is now a traditional downtown festival with nearly 500 stalls. 

There was also a new movement, and curry watermelon and eel skewers were very delicious at the Bettara Regional Promotion Association.

 

The name of "Bettara City" is that young people use Asazuke radish (Bettara) to congestion and call the pilgrimage women "Bettarada, Bettada", and put them on the sleeves of kimono. It is said that it became the name of Bettara because of the fun of the women.

 
Here, long-established stores and large and small trading companies line up the eaves, praying for business prosperity and safety in the house, and are working hard. From 5 o'clock in the evening, nostalgic Bon Odori songs and the dance circle of local people were spreading.

 

1) At first, the main deity of Takarada Ebisu Shrine was moved to Temmacho, where he was evacuated to build Edo Castle.
I worshiped in front of you (this Ebisu was worshiped by Ieyasu Tokugawa and was restored once with the work of Unkei).
2) Thank you for the "Betta-" circle of Atomi Women's University and the cooking recipe.
3) As the first float at the Odenmacho 1-chome Neighborhood Association drop-off, Kanda Festival, and Sanno Festival, the flag of Isako chicken here in Otemmacho is here.
It was displayed at the entrance. Thank you very much for taking a break with tidbits/Betta pickling.

In the hot air mumbun, I bought a red turnip "Bedarazuke" and arrived on my way home, hope next year will be a good year.
New knowledge

Cosmetic counter for foreign tourists [Matsuya Ginza]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 20, 2015 15:00

As I walked along the street behind the Matsuya Ginza Main Store in Ginza 3-chome, I found a very bright red gate that stands out.

touris11.JPG 

Matsuya Ginza Main Store is the entrance to the 2nd floor of the East Building of the newly established cosmetics counter for foreign tourists "Tourist Shop & Lounge" to strengthen inbound measures.

touris12.JPG 

It seems that it opened on September 30.

In addition, it seems that a reception counter for ordering services using the Internet will be set up.

This will provide a system that allows customers from overseas to book and order products online before coming to Japan, shortening the purchase time and enabling efficient shopping.

It seems that each counter has a bilingual sales staff who speak Chinese and English, and the level of international service in the retail industry is improving at a tremendous speed.
