Selected fruits from the world ~Senbikiya Sohonten ~

[rosemary sea] March 6, 2017 18:00

This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a method.

 

As a rosmary, the fruits of Senbikiya Sohonten have been introduced mainly from domestic ones so far.

However, in fact, many overseas fruits are also selected and handled.

This time, I would like to spotlight the overseas fruits of Senbikiya Sohonten.

We interviewed Mr. Yoshida, Deputy General Manager, Sales Department, Nihonbashi Head Office, Senbikiya Sohonten Co., Ltd.

Muscat of Italian. From New Zealand.

The beautiful green grains form a voluminous bunch, and when ripe, it has an elegant muscat scent. Please enjoy elegant sweetness and elegant taste.

"At this time, there is no such size of domestic grapes, but it is before, but those who produce Muscat in Okayama Prefecture actually go to New Zealand to grow and grow. What I was taught to New Zealand to New Zealand is coming into Japan. That's the Muscat of Italian. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's a bit warm autumn season. It is a form in which what is harvested there is coming into Japan. The number of local producers is currently decreasing, and it is valuable that the number of people per person is decreasing. "

Mango. It's a nadokumai species. From Thailand.

It is characterized by its very fresh and strong sweetness, and its low fiber, making it easy to eat. Save at room temperature, and when a little wrinkles come out on the skin, it's time to eat. Cool it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

"A little longer than a normal mango. "Nandokumai" means "drop of flowers" in Thai. "

Papaya. It's a capohosoro species. From Thailand.

"We have Thai products all year round."

Avocado. From Mexico.

In addition to its smooth texture, it has a high nutritional value and has been loved since ancient times. Save at room temperature, turn the skin black-brown, hold it lightly with your palms, and feel soft, and eat it.

"We can prepare products from Mexico all year round."

On the left, Navel Orange. From the United States and California.

It is called this because there is a hollow similar to a navel at the top of the fruit. Orange has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.

"Now is the season. In summer, it is replaced with one from Australia. It is also Orange Jerry in the Western Confectionery Corner."

Right, grapefruit ruby. Produced in Florida, United States.

It is said to be a hybrid of orange and zabon from Barbados Shimabara in the West Ind Islands. The reddish pericarp and clear red pulp ruby are juicy, sweet and easy-to-eat grapefruit.

"This is also in season. It is from South Africa in summer. Because citrus fruits are made the most delicious in winter. This is also the grapefruit Jerry Ruby in the Western Confectionery Corner."

 

Other bananas are from Ecuador.

"It's from Ecuador today, but sometimes it's from the Philippines. It depends on the day."

・・Thank you very much, Mr. Yoshida.

 

DSC02038a.jpgHere, about the overseas fruit handling of Senbikiya Sohonten ...

Daijiro Oshima, the third generation of Meiji 10 (1877), was a person who noticed overseas fruits that were not yet available in Japan.

At that time, foreign ships often called in Yokohama and other places to supply food.

So, Daijiro went to the harbor and focused on the fruits in the ingredients that had been used as seafarers' food, and asked the seafarers, "Would you like to sell fruits?" Did.

"Senbikiya is bought at a good price," and some people came to the shop to sell it.

Since then, we have gradually increased the number of products handled, and imported goods can be displayed in stores.

The above is the book of Fusetsu Nakamura (1866 [1866]-1943 [1943], which is listed at the back of Nihonbashi Main Store. As stated in the book, it is said that he had a friendship with the third generation, Daijiro.

DSC02049b.jpgFusetsu Nakamura is a Western painter and calligrapher. Born in Kyobashi Hatchobori, now Minato, Chuo-ku.

He is also known as an illustration artist for Soseki Natsume's "I am a cat."

Traditional seasoning of Shioume Edo

[Asunaro] March 3, 2017 09:00

"Shioume" is a seasoning that combines salt and plum vinegar with good taste.

It is also a word used to express the condition of things.

I did it.

 Irizake 1.jpg

By the way, Ginza Mikawa-ya, founded during the Genroku period.

It's "Senzake".

Umeboshi and flowers are added to sake and boiled down.

It is a seasoning that was indispensable for dining tables in the Edo period.

It was reproduced from the cooking book of the time.

The balance between the taste of bonito and the acidity and saltiness of umeboshi.

It's exquisite and good salt plum, and I think it goes well with various dishes.

The food of Edo and healthy slow food are being reviewed.

Shopping of Hiroshima Oysters [Hiroshima Brand Shop TAU]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 2, 2017 18:00

It is a brand shop "TAU" in Hiroshima Prefecture, which has a shop facing Ginza 1-chome, Ginza Yanagi-dori St.

tautau020.JPG

Speaking of Hiroshima, oysters are famous, and many products using Hiroshima oysters are sold.

tautau050.JPG

Purchased "Oyster garlic oil pickled with white wine" and "Oyasan's seafood bowl steamed with oysters from Hiroshima"

It was written as "good with white wine", but I was fascinated by the product name and purchased a local beer "Make of the Imperial Navy Kure Naval Office Haigun" (Kure Beer Co., Ltd. Kinsei)

tautau070.JPG

Everything was correct

In particular, the crisp feeling of oysters pickled in garlic oil is the best.

"Seafood Chawanmushi" was also delicious.

tautau060.JPG

We recommend local beer.
