amazake of amazake Yokocho - Futaba of Tofu -

[rosemary sea] July 24, 2016 09:00

It is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a range.

 

When I am very tired, I come to amazake Yokocho.

We visited Futaba of Tofu in Yokocho, Ningyocho, amazake.

Now, in addition to products such as tofu and ganmo, there are amazake and tofu donuts that were not introduced last time.

 

I'll introduce you from amazake.

 

DSC01233b.jpgThe name of amazake Yokocho is derived from the sweet liquor store called Owariya in the early Meiji era, which was located on the south side of the entrance of Yokocho, at the present Kyo confectionery Gyokueido (in front of Futaba's name).

Yokocho at that time was located on the south side, and it was said that the road width was narrow.

The land readjustment after the Great Kanto Earthquake has become the current width, and the name is also known as "amazake Yokocho".

The origin of amazake itself dates back to the Kofun period, and in Chronicles of Japan, there is a description of Amanotamuzake, the origin of amazake.

・・・ It's quite desensible, but in short it's an ancient Japanese drink.

DSC01230a.jpgDSC01241a.jpgamazake contains enough nutrients to be called 'drink'. It's a nutrient to drink. It seems that there was an image of a hot drink in winter, but the effects of summer batter measures, fatigue recovery, and beauty have been recognized for a long time. It has been attracting attention in recent years, but in Haiku it is a seasonal word for summer (July). In the past, amazake's peddling was common in summer.

In amazake, there are amazake made from sake cake and amazake made from rice koji. Be careful if you are not good at alcohol because amazake liquor contains alcohol. On the other hand, rice koji amazake is made by fermenting koji, and sweetness comes out at the fermentation stage, so no sugar is used, of course, non-alcoholic.

Tofu's amazake is amazake, an original brand of amazake Yokocho, and amazake made of koji from the United States, which is now attracting attention.

I asked the wife of the shop. "Our amazake is ordering production from the Izu factory. Some are made from Shiga rice, ancient rice and brown rice (top). "

This is the person who drinks amazake's food repo. I had "Amazake (cup) that can be drunk right away".

"I was able to feel the true sweetness of rice and the sweetness of nature."

 

Next is soy milk donut.

 

DSC01242b.jpgIt seems that they use fresh soy milk made first in the morning. A healthy snack. It's popular because it's not too sweet.

Finally, the wife of the shop talks about the customer.

"It's a cycling tour, some people come by every day. I hear it's an energy charge here. ・・ ・ A foreign woman who came every day for three days while staying at a nearby hotel to eat jumbo cancer and soy milk donuts. When I talked in English, I was not good at it, vegetarian, and I came to my house because there was nothing I could eat at the hotel due to dietary restrictions. There are some foreign couples who eat at home. amazake explains in English "Farmen Ted Rice (fermented rice, translated directly: fermented rice)", but it seems to pull it once. amazake soft serve ice cream is more popular among foreigners. ・・ ・ And there are some Taiwanese people who visit the "Newcomer" location. "

 

By the way, Mr. HK, a correspondent, gave me an appropriate translation of "amazake a sweet drink made from fermented rice." Thank you, Mr. HK.

A hamburger lunch with foegras! 〔Kurosawa〕

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 21, 2016 12:00

Today, we have lunch at Kurosawa with my stomach boss.

kuros01.JPG

Kurosawa is a teppanyaki and steak shop in a narrow alley in Tsukiji 2-chome.

The concept of the restaurant is to serve meat dishes that Director Akira Kurosawa liked.

The appearance of a 90-year-old old private house has been remodeled.

kuros02.JPG

It's the first vegetable salad.

kuros03.JPG

Next, the green pea soup is delicious.

The plate is also beautiful

kuros04.JPG

It's a hamburger with foegras (100% Japanese black beef) with 10 meals for a day.

The harmony with the high-quality eggs placed on top is also exquisite.

A potato called "Destroyer" is used for the vegetables to be matched.

The name is derived from the fact that the shape and color resemble the former professional wrestler The Destroyer wearing a mask.

I actually saw the photo of the potato "Destroyer" and was convinced.

kuros05.JPG

Garlic rice okoshi is delicious

After eating about half, I'll have chicken soup.

This is also more delicious.

kuros07.JPG

Blended coffee after meals

You can also choose espresso and black tea.

A blissful moment for lunchtime

I'm going to be Mr. H. Director.

Today, at the offer of Mr. S Fuji at the workplace, we visited Nihonbashi Yachobei Nihonbashi Main Store, a Japanese confectionery. Thank you very much for your help. In addition to sticking to the original taste of Japanese sweets, its beauty and seasonal atmosphere are also valued. Anyway, please take a look at the product.

It is the standard "Tenka Taihei" from annual products. It is a bun made by wrapping a smooth koshi bean paste with a solid dough and baking it. It seems that he repeated subtle adjustments to the amount of sugar. Also, it is said that koshi bean paste is the best to make it beautiful. It seems that red beans are made from Hokkaido like mizuyokan.

 

DSC01225a.jpg

Here is Mr. S Fuji's food repo.

 

"The shape of a round and cute sea bream. You're lucky. It's also great for celebrations. My daughter and wife bought me when my child was born. The taste is not too sweet. It's better to eat lightly."

DSC01219a.jpg

"Goldfish scooping" is a seasonal product. Very beautiful and cool sweets.

If you enter the tray and decorate it in front of the shop, you will really feel like you can enjoy goldfish scooping. It's also piled up in the shop.

Goldfish made of yokan is contained in lemon-flavored jelly.

 

It will be sold until early September (Nihonbashi Main Store only).

↓ The best gift is Mizuyokan set, which is the best gift. Since it is a seasonal product, it is until mid-August.

Here is Rosmali's own food repo.

 

"It's not too sweet, but very smooth texture. It's smooth, so if you cool it down, the taste will be enhanced. It's a great feeling of coolness."

 

On the left, there's a lot.

It's butter flavor. This is also very fragrant and slightly salty.
The taste of castella is condensed tightly. It is an annual product, but this "matcha" will also be sold until late August.

Uokin Piccolo Ginza 1-chome Store A Delicious Carpaccio Shop

[Silver] July 12, 2016 18:00

This shop was opened about three years ago, but it's quite a secret. 

If you ask if you can publish a blog today, you can see it. This is a report that is prepared. 

 The first thing I ordered was a classic of fresh fish carpaccio and sashimi that loves sashimi. The freshness will be transmitted. First of all, white wine was poured using beer and surface tension as much as possible. My smile spilled.

 It's delicious! My friends are also delicious! And smile! Bon appetito !

KIMG1708 (203x360). jpg

 Today, the eggplant and anchovie marinade were also delicious. The next sommelier also poured out with waves and waves. !With a spilling smile, the spilling wine, full of youth, fat! I had 3 cups.

As always, this is WOG. (without guaranty)

If you are a good friend, you can easily enter this shop anytime.

But it seems to be crowded these days, so it's better to make a reservation.

My friend and delicious wine made the night more enjoyable. The place of the shop is Ginza 1-chome, the whole back side of Kochi.
