[rosemary sea] July 30, 2017 09:00

It's rosemary sea, which listens to "gifts and enjoy yourself."

 

The antenna shop Nihonbashi Nagasakikan in Nagasaki Prefecture, here is the previous introduction.

⇒ /archive/2017/07/post-4512.html

This time, Mr. Khara and Mr. Rko of Rosmali's workplace also offered a product introduction.

At the same time, I also took care of Mr. Kobayashi, Deputy Manager of Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

 

Let me introduce you.

Nagasaki Kadoni Manju Iwasaki Honpo

DSC02642a.jpgKakuni, which is made by boiling pork roses slowly, and its melting taste is sandwiched in a dough that is soft.

Nagasaki Kakuni Manju was born with the wish of Nagasaki's unique Takufuku cuisine and a dish of Tonporou, one of them easier.

We are also particular about the materials.

From the dedicated pig farm, "Chili's Andes Kogen Pork" suitable for horny boiled, hygienic and safe pork.

In addition, no chemical seasonings are used for dashi, which is firmly soaked.

Very popular at product exhibitions. But only Nihonbashi Nagasakikan is the only place in stores outside of Kyushu.

In addition, Kojima-san's Kadoni Man (upper right of the image) is also available.

Goto Islands's regional cuisine Japanese sweets.

"Kankoro" is a sweet potato dried in the sun.

It was an important staple food for the people of Goto Islands.

"Kankoromochi" is the combination of this and glutinous rice. "The taste of hometown" of Nagasaki citizens.

It is an old-fashioned rustic mochi confectionery made by grandma.

When you search the internet ...

Masaharu Fukuyama is very acclaimed. When I was a kid, I baked it on the stove and ate it.

I'm a favorite of Naka Risa. Introducing exquisite sweets that calm down when you eat, as well as beauty and diet effects.

Haruna Kawaguchi is from Goto Islands with a pinpoint. It is a nostalgic taste that reminds me of my hometown.

It's salted in the ovaries of bola.

Masashi Sada, a singer from Nagasaki Prefecture who believes Rosmari, also sang.

It's a mustard of "My favorite thing, Karasuma ..." It's an old song.

There are various theories in Japan's three major delicacies: "Nagasaki's Karasumi, Echizen's Sea, Mikawa's Wata", but it seems that Nagasaki's Karasumi is always included.

The origin of the name of Karasumi ... There are also various theories.

In the past, the color was black, so it resembled Tang ink, or because it was in the form of Tang ink, or the lord of Nabeshima explained to Hideyoshi Toyotomi as "Tang ink".

Mr. K Hara: "Cut, sandwich the green onions between them. I'm eating it locally."

Rko "Simiple as it is. Cut it thinly into sake tidbits."

Hasami ware

DSC02630a.jpgHasami-cho, Higashisonogi-gun, Nagasaki. The pottery produced in this area is "Hasami ware".

About 400 years ago, three staircase-shaped climbing kilns were built in Muraki, Hasami-cho, and pottery making began.

Gradually shifted from glazed pottery to porcelain centered on dyeing and celadon, and with the assistance of the Omura clan, dyeing in particular became the largest production in Japan.

In the Edo period, it was a popular dish of ordinary people with thick and rustic arabesque pattern that was durable and hard to break.

Even now, this tradition is definitely alive.

The image is the "cat dish series". It's very popular.

When making Champon at home, how about when you think "I want to make the ingredients full-fledged" or "I want to add a little bit of ingredients"?

You can make authentic champon with bright red and green.

A blissful moment is waiting for you to have a satisfying Champon at home.

It seems that Mr. Khara always uses this.

[Ginza 6-chome] The cold Inaba udon "Ginza Yosuke Sato" is perfect for summer.

[Ino-chan] July 28, 2017 09:00

 

The harsh heat continues, how are you all?

Today, I would like to introduce some Inaba udon shops that can be enjoyed even in hot summers.

 

IMG_9840.JPG

 

IMG_9821.JPG

 

Inaba udon is one of Japan's three largest udon noodles and is a specialty of Akita Prefecture.

Founded in the first year of Mannobu (1860), he continues to preserve traditional techniques by hand by craftsmen.
It is said that no one knows the name of Yosuke Sato Shoten in Akita Prefecture.

 

Ginza Yosuke Sato is a shop where you can taste such authentic Inaba udon in Chuo-ku.

 

Here's what I ordered this time.

 

IMG_9830.JPG

 

IMG_9835.JPG

Two flavors
There are two types of soup, soy sauce and sesame. The beautiful udon is shiny.
It was a smooth texture and chewy texture, and it was delicious enough to eat forever.

 

IMG_9834.JPG

Thai curry two flavors

This is also two flavors. Green curry and red curry. It seems to be a popular menu since its opening.
The spices contained in curry also work to rejuvenate the stomach, and it is recommended in summer when appetite tends to decrease.

 

IMG_9819.JPG

In addition to Inaba udon, we also have Kiritanpo pots and water-cooking Hinauchi chicken with regional cuisine in Akita Prefecture.

There is a course where you can enjoy locally brewed sake, and the store also sells dried noodles and soup souvenirs.

You can purchase souvenirs without having to eat. Good as a gift.
I want to eat well in summer and survive the heat.

03-6215-6211
Open all year round except New Year holidays and Bon Festival

 

In Akita Prefecture this month, flood damage​ was reported in various places due to record heavy rains.

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to those who have suffered the damage.

 

 

 

Ginza ALLEY's shops "Mannen Domoto" and "Ginza Wakamatsu"

1. July 27, 2017 14:00

100_2450.JPG 100_2457.JPG

The word "alley" seems to have a mysterious charm, and recently I'm going to see what is called "back alley walk" in town walks.

 

Let's introduce the shops in Ginza ALLEY, one of the alleys entering from Ginza Chuo-dori. (ALLEY is said to be derived from French called alee in English, which means narrow streets / Yokocho / alleyways where cars cannot pass.)

After the rainy season, he said, "The full-fledged heat will be in the future." Ginza Street is the same lively atmosphere, regardless of the heat. "Mannendo" is located in the passage with the sign of "Ginza ALLEY" between Chuo-dori Core Building and facing Azuma-dori. Mannendo was founded in Kyoto as "Kameya Izumi". It was 1617 (1617) in the early Edo period. With the relocation of the capital, we set up a shop in Yaesu Kitamaki-cho in 1872 and moved to Ginza after the earthquake. As soon as you visit the shop, you will find plenty of cold barley tea in a large bowl. It's a nice hospitality. Today, we can't help but get the famous "Mede Sugar" (260 yen) and fumanju (200 yen) unique to this season. There is also "Koryomochi" with matcha (260 yen). "Ki no Tsuyu" (150 yen) also has warabi powder and Honkuzu like summer and cannot be removed. The idea of offering the tray, which was delayed, came to mind during the old tray season to make this "Ki no Tsuyu".

100_2458.JPG 100_2451.JPG

 

Even so, I saw the sweet "Ginza Wakamatsu" lined up right away. Signboards and product displays are the same as they were decades ago. I miss you. When you enter the store, there are only women who are nervous, but I'm glad that the atmosphere of "Showa" has not changed at all. "Ginza Wakamatsu" started in this area in 1894. Even now, the same place as that time is amazing. It's also famous as the first shop to make "Anmitsu". "Alleys" have a little secret and obscene image, but this Ginza ALLEY is an alley with a refreshing and slightly different stylish atmosphere.

Barbecue in Harumi (kisaku Shokudo)

[kimitaku] July 27, 2017 09:00

 We planned a barbecue in the evening on a hot day in July.

 The place is on the second floor of "Hot Plaza Harumi".

 At the same time as the toast, everyone's glass is already empty...

 The clerk can carry meat and vegetables with a smile.

 There are plenty of alcoholic drinks, of course, non-al.

  

 Time has passed, and for a while the night has ended.

 The amount of meat that can't be eaten in two hours.

 The savory smell of sweet meat at dusk

 The lively conversation of friends was also added.

 I was soaked in a lot of satisfaction. (5,000 yen per person)

Dejima in Edo-Nihonbashi Nagasakikan-

[rosemary sea] July 26, 2017 18:00

This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" as an archive.

 

DSC02607a.jpgThe correspondents also studied. The explanation board at Exit 4 of Shin-Nihonbashi Station, "Nagasakiya Ruins".

In the Edo period, there was a medicinal wholesaler in Nihonbashi, which is said to have stayed by Mr. Dutch trading post and Mr. Siebold of Dejima, Nagasaki.

It was called "Izushima in Edo" and was a place for exchange with Western civilization under isolation.

Gennai Hiraga, Ryotaku Maeno and Genpaku Sugita are visiting to meet the Dutch.

In fiction, Megumi Hatanaka's "Shabake" series is also set in Nagasakiya.

 

DSC02612a.jpgNihonbashi Nagasakikan, an antenna shop in Nagasaki Prefecture, opened in March last year in Nihonbashi, which has a deep connection, and plays the role of "a base for transmitting information on Nagasaki culture".

It's the modern "Izushima of Edo".

There are four zones in the store: tourist information, merchandise sales, events, and light food and drink.

 

Mr. Khara (first appearance) and Mr. Rko (second appearance from the Audley article for the first time in a year), both are from Nagasaki Prefecture and are users of Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

We spoke with Mr. Kobayashi, Deputy Manager of Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

This time, I would like to introduce some products in the product sales zone.

DSC02620a.jpg DSC02629a.jpg

The corner of Champon. And the corner of the dish udon.

 

What is your recommendation here?

DSC02618a.jpg DSC02619a.jpg

Nagasaki-chanpon Mirokuya

It is said that the richness of the noodles and the original soup is exquisite.

Both Mr. Khara and Mr. Rko are pushing "Mirokuya".

There are many souvenirs from Nagasaki, most of them, and it seems that they are generally open at Nagasaki and Kyushu exhibitions.

 

DSC02622a.jpg

Udon's corner. What is your recommendation here?

DSC02595a.jpg
Nagasaki Goto Tenobu Udon

Nagasaki Goto Udon Co., Ltd.


Thin but firm, strong body and smooth throat.

It is the result of the careful hand-rolling work.

Goto Islands, the western end of Kyushu. Goto Tenobu Udon, which is handed down to this nature-rich island, is a traditional udon with a millennium history that uses camellia oil squeezed from camellia fruits from Goto and salt obtained from clear seawater.

We use only domestic wheat.

The food lipo of the Rosmari family. "It's thin but stiff. The "slipping feeling" is wonderful with camellia oil."

DSC02621a.jpg

Corners such as somen. What is your recommendation here?

DSC02592a.jpg
Noodles from Shimabara Tenobu

Tenobu Noodle Kofusayama Sho


Hand-rolling technique that has been handed down to the Shimabara region since ancient times. New noodles made based on this.

By adding "more" to the whole noodles, the sauce soup is often entangled.

Made from domestic wheat, it has a sticky texture.

"The impact is great. It has elasticity. Soy sauce is often entangled." Rosmali family.



・・And I had the above two dishes with shrimp soup.

DSC02596a.jpg
Shrimp soup

Choko Shoyu Co., Ltd.


Moderate sweetness and subtle scent of shrimp dashi.

Based on honjozo Marudai bean light soy sauce, it is made with shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and kelp. It's twice concentrated.

"I feel the sweetness of shrimp. The aroma and flavor are also exquisite. I think it goes well with any kind of noodles." Rosmali family.


・・And I also bought flying fish (chin) soup. I'm going to have it here next time.

DSC02600a.jpgJaw soup
Choko Shoyu Co., Ltd.


Light flavor of Nagasaki's famous flying fish (chin) dashi.

This is also based on honjozo Marudai bean light soy sauce, and the balance of shami of flying fish, shiitake mushrooms and kelp is exquisite.

This is also twice concentrated.

By the way, Choko Shoyu has developed additive-free soy sauce for the first time in the industry. It was 1968.

It is said that safety and security are of course pursued health and deliciousness.

In Nagasaki, soy sauce is said to be Choko Shoyu.

DSC02623a.jpg

Motegi Biwa Jelly "Biwa no Suzu"

A loquat jelly made by a producer processing group in the Motegi district of Nagasaki City, Japan's largest loquat production area.

It is a gem that is wrapped in jelly together with a whole loquat fruit and seeds with boiled beans flavor.

I never thought that loquat seeds could be processed and eaten. 。 It's a culture shock.

Moreover, it is said that the seeds themselves are full of nutrients.

DSC02624a.jpg

Also, hydrangea Kabo's (from left) Jelly of Nagasaki Zabon, Igi Riki Mikan, and Nagasaki Motegi Biwa are also recommended.

 

The corner of Nagasaki Castella. What is your recommendation here?

DSC02625a.jpgFifty-three-burning (right)

Fifty-three-yaki kasutera (middle)

Wasanbon sugar kasutera craftsman hand-ware (left) Suzakiya

Gozanyaki does not use all eggs and uses egg white 3 for 5 yolks.

That's why it's called Gosanyaki. It tastes rich.

Suzaki-ya is a shop that has been going on for generations in Nagasaki, but recently it has become energetically available.

It seems to have been put out in the Castella Castle in Huis Ten Bosch.

However, since we refrain from advertising, it seems that the reputation is spreading by word of mouth.

And it seems that only Nihonbashi Nagasakikan is the only one that has items in the Tokyo area.

 

DSC02626a.jpg

Another recommendation ...

Wasanbon Castella Nagasaki Honpo Sugaan (Toan)

This is also a popular castella.

 

Mr. Nihonbashi Nagasakikan, there are still many products to introduce. I'm looking forward to it.
