Various delicious Toyama specialty products - Nihonbashi Toyamakan 1-

[rosemary sea] June 22, 2017 18:00

The rosemary sea is a memory of "gifts and I enjoy myself".

 

Just a year has passed since the opening of the antenna shop in Toyama Prefecture, Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

I would like to introduce Mr. Kko of Rosmari Food Lipo Corps, a shop that he visited with his mother the other day, Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

We talked to Mr. Asano, sub-manager of Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

This time, I would like to introduce 2 items.

Umekama "Konbumaki Kamaboko"

Kamaboko kelp roll with a whirlpool unique to Toyama.

A delicious form of fresh seafood wrapped in history and skill.

Toyama's specialty kelp-maki Kamaboko is not a plated kamaboko, which is often seen, but is steamed by spreading kelp and stretching surimi.

In addition, in Toyama, there are some major, bright red and blue-colored surimi thinly stretched, and red and blue rolls rolled up with that skin, and crafted kamaboko for celebration.

It seems to be a New Year's New Year's dish, but Kamaboko is also indispensable for the celebration of Toyama.

The custom of cutting a crafted kamaboko after a feast and dividing it into a neighboring neighborhood is a culture unique to Toyama.

・・・ Rosmari food lipo corps, Kko's "Konbu Maki Kamaboko" food lipo.

"It's very chewy. The wrapped kelp is also thick and has a very deep taste.

  The balance of kelp and kamaboko was good and delicious. I want to eat again."

Toyama Kakiyama "Shirobi Journey"

A clear white body, pale pink legs and tails, and white shrimp that grow only deep in the sea of Toyama Bay.

It is called "the gem of Toyama Bay".

The rice mariage of Toyama's rice, where the white shrimp and delicious water springs out.

It is a rice cracker with rich flavor.

It's very famous as a souvenir from Toyama right now. It seems that it is sold quite well in Toyama Prefecture.

Based on the concept of the fusion of "healthyness" and "Japanese confectionery" brought by food nutrients to humans, "plus" nutrients that lead to a good condition for the body by ingesting a lot, and "minus" nutrients that lead to a good condition by suppressing intake.

"Wa confectionery" refers to confectionery and beverages that incorporate Japanese elements, using ingredients that have been handed down since ancient times in Japan, such as red beans, soybeans, wheat, and fermented foods.

Eitaro, who has been conveying the ancient Japanese food culture, expresses his attitude that he can provide Japanese sweets he wants to pass on to the next generation through a new element of "functionality of food nutrients". is.

Nihonbashi and Canon Ball

[Nyan,] June 19, 2017 09:00

Many of you may have been absorbed in the success of Kungho Stars represented by Bruce Lee and Jackie Chen. There was a time when I saw the movie in which Jackiechen appeared from one end before I knew the reputation and content before I knew it. I sometimes recall that the representative of the movie that I saw in the supporting role is "cannonball".

The movie's Canonball is based on an adventure stall that crosses the United States by car, but the modern Japanese version of Canonball that I recognize is "Running from Tokyo to Osaka" within 24 hours "by bicycle from Tokyo to Osaka!" That's right.

When riding a bicycle between Tokyo and Osaka (about 550 km), it takes a few days and a surprise glance is poured, "Yes?", But even after this cannonball standard, 24 hours are 1 minute Has not been achieved yet.
Considering breaks, meals, naps, and waiting for traffic lights, it is quite hard work in terms of speed.

The starting point of the Osaka side is a bit ambiguous with Sonezaki and Umeda in Kita-ku, Osaka, but the Tokyo side is ...

Yes, the Japanese road mark of Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku! It's the starting point of Gokaido.
Even now, this is an important starting point/end point of such a challenge.

If there is a bicycle rider who stands before this and is deeply moved by the sense of accomplishment, it may be a good idea to ask, "Is it a cannonball?"

I would like to try it at least once. (It's also important not to get lost.)

There is a copy of the relocated Tokyo City Road Map and the Japan Road Map in Kitazume, Nihonbashi.

 

 

Well of the famous water Shirakiya

DSCN0742.JPG Well of the famous water Shirakiya 

 

Nihonbashi district reclaimed in the early Edo period

 

It was originally the sea. Both the samurai and the townspeople were suffering from the shortage of good water.

 

Hikotaro Kimura, the second generation of Shirakiya, who was a large kimono dealer in Nihonbashi, gave out his private property and in 1712 he dug up a well where Shimizu gushed out. It was also presented to the Shogun's family. It was widely used by Daimyo and nearby residents, and has been used for hundreds of years.

 

Now, there is a stone monument in the left photo on the Cored Nihonbashi Annex Square.

Please take a look at the shop in Nihonbashi.
