On July 20, Typhoon No. 6, which caused record heavy rainfall in various places at the same speed as a bicycle, is approaching the Kanto region.
I tilted my umbrella and headed to the meeting place while trying to see if it could be held.
We have been helping with the “Town Walking Tour” industrial course sponsored by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.
This course is a tour of the Tsukiji Outer Market.
Tsukiji Market is the world's largest wholesale market in Tsukiji, Chuo-ku.
In the on-site market, stores based on the premise of selling wholesale, middle wholesale, and related businesses are gathered.
In the out-of-office market located in the outskirts, there are many shops for the general public and tourists.
Now, let's bounce back the typhoon rain clouds with the enthusiasm of the participants.
In this course, "Tsukiji original" of kitchen knives and knives. "Tsukipo Matsuro" of high-grade egg-yaki.
"Kibun Food Sohonten" of kneaded products. I visited Suita Shoten, a kelp and dried food.
It is a popular long-established store.
A craftsman who uses several types of whetstones to give sharpness to the knife.
The heat of the in-store workshop where a large amount of egg-yaki is baked by hand.
The manager who explained the diversity and potential of kneaded products with tastings.
A young husband who talked about the unexpected ecology of kelp and their commitment to quality.
I think about food that I eat every day.
Reliable skills to keep seeking good things and trained eye strength.
The credibility that we have built up in food was reflected in the wonderful expression of the store people.
After Great East Japan Earthquake, we were able to overcome the period when the flow of people declined sharply, mainly from foreign customers.
"The customer has come back again," said the owner.
Through the business in Tsukiji, you can clearly see the trends in the Japanese economy.
Everyone who took the time to explain while I was busy, thank you.
We were able to make delicious shopping.
Tsukiji feels a little difficult for the general public to go from the impression of a "professional workplace".
Because it is an area where professionals gather, you can meet polished topics.
The repair of the facilities that hurt during the earthquake has progressed, and the tour of the tuna auction in the hall will resume on the 26th.
It's early in the morning, but I'm looking forward to it.
