~ Egg ware that values the taste ~ Daisada

[rosemary sea] August 31, 2016 14:00

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

Before I became a correspondent, I visited Daisada, who sells delicious egg ware at Tsukiji Outer Market.

I thank Mr. Ishii for your help.

Daisada was founded in 1924 and is a long-established store with a history of 92 years this year.

DSC01320a.jpg


Daisada's egg ware is ...

〇 Uses 100% carefully selected red egg called "ground egg" from Chiba Prefecture.

  Grounded egg is a sap of oak tree = egg produced by chickens grown on food containing ground nutrients such as wood vinegar, cashmerate, wormwood, and seagrass.

  It is said that only Chinese medicine's special feed is given, so it is said that cholesterol is 10% less than usual eggs and less involved in allergies. It is made with fresh, safe and excellent eggs, so the taste of egg ware changes greatly. About 15 years ago, the president chose an egg that matches egg ware from the crow chickens and many brands of eggs. The name of "Tsukijino" was also around that time. It is the president's idea to differentiate itself from other stores, not just egg ware.

〇 In addition, everything is hand-burned.

  Skilled craftsmen make reliable egg ware with all their heart.

  From a poultry farm in Chiba Prefecture, fresh and well-managed eggs are delivered in the middle of the night, prepared at 4:00 am, and started baking around 5:00.

〇 Mixed egg with dashi soup, soy sauce, sugar and salt. However, the method of blending and ratio are secrets.

〇 The basic size is fixed.

  For example, in the case of the mainstay and standard product "Tsukijino", the basic size is 560g, the size is 19 x 10 x 3.5 (cm).

 

Next, the main product lineup. From the top ...

No.

It's also for sushi restaurants, and it feels solid. It's less sweet than those from other stores.

Edo dashiyaki.

The sweetness is further reduced by adding more dashi. The texture is soft.

Kyoto dashimaki.

The dashi is completely different. Kyoto-style dashi with bonito. The texture is also quite soft.

A smart honey.

No sugar. Only domestic honey and apple vinegar are carefully selected.

Egg ware with a subtle sweetness that is gentle to the body.

Shinko Meitaiko.

New products from July. This product is popular with overseas people, especially Chinese people.

It is said that the number of tourists and foreign visitors has increased.

Some people say "no fish" or present a mobile screen or description.

If you give instructions, it seems that it is recommended to remove the dashi roll (use of bonito).

 

One rosmariepisode.

Visited the store on December 30, last year. There was a very long line, so I asked the guide clerk, "How long does it take?" When asked, he answered, "It's about 10 minutes." When I lined up, I was able to buy it in 10 minutes. I was surprised and impressed by the skill of the people in the shop. ・・ ・ I bought Tsukijino.

The taste period is 5 to 6 days. If you want to eat it immediately, you can also give a gift.

Tsukiji is a treasure trove of architectural heritage.

[Chuo Kotaro] August 31, 2016 09:00

I had the opportunity to guide Tsukiji in mid-August, and I studied Tsukiji again in about a month.
I was reminded that it was an interesting place.

 

If you classify the charm of Tsukiji, I think it will be categorized below.
 ①History of Tsukiji (1) Within and outside Tsukiji Markets
 ②History of Tsukiji (2) Landfill and Honganji
 ③History of Tsukiji (3) Foreign Settlements
 ④Building heritage
 ⑤A treasure trove of gourmet

 

④⑤If you understand it in relation to the history and location of 1-3, I think it will become even more attractive.
This time, I would like to focus on "4 architectural heritage" from the charm of Tsukiji.
I think.

 

I think the architectural heritage of Tsukiji can be classified as follows.
 A. The streets of the early Showa period (Machiya group, signboard architecture, alley)
 B. Temple
 C. The remnants of foreign settlements
 D. Fan-type Tsukiji Market

 

Of these, the old townhouses, signboard architecture, and some temples in B are the World Monument Foundation.
The U.S. non-profit organization has been selected as a list of crisis heritages to be announced once every two years.
It is a world-famous substitute for Historic buildings.

 

Below is a map of the distribution of architectural heritage.

ck1509_20160829 (1). jpg

◆◆Distribution of architectural heritage around Tsukiji◆◆


A. The streets of the early Showa period (Machiya group, signboard architecture, alley)

 Machiya, signboard architecture, and alleys are the part of Tsukiji 1-chome and 2-chome near Shintomi-cho.
 It is often found in the area from Tsukiji 6-chome to 7-chome.
 Personally, I like the neighborhood of 6-chome, which leaves a rich Showa atmosphere in a wide area.

ck1509_20160829 (2). jpg ck1509_20160829 (3). jpg

<Alley of Tsukiji 2-chome, signboard construction of Tsukiji 6-chome (copperboard)>

 

ck1509_20160829 (4). jpg

<Machiya of Tsukiji 6-chome>

 

 On the other hand, out-of-market markets tend to be overlooked due to congestion and the eaves of stores.
 If you look up, you will notice that there are many signboard architectures.
 In addition, there is a very narrow alley connecting Higashi-dori, Naka-dori and Nishi-dori on the main street.
 There are many shops on both sides of the alley, so "Eh? There's a shop like this."
 You can meet a fresh surprise.

ck1509_20160829 (5). jpg ck1509_20160829 (6). jpg

<Signboard construction (mortar) outside the hall, alleyway through outside the hall>

 

 By the way, "signboard construction" means that a wooden building is surrounded by copper plate or mortar to prevent fire resistance.
 It is a raised building and is classified into "copper plate type" and "mortar type" according to the material of the enclosure.
 We were able to apply various designs such as patterns on copper plates and mortars like signboards.
 It seems to be called "signboard architecture".

 I hope these streets will remain forever.

B. Temple

 I can't touch it here because it's too commonplace for Tsukiji Honganji.
 Outside the hall was originally the Terauchi town of Honganji, where many temples are lined up neatly and densely.
 I was there.
 Most of them were relocated after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and now only a few remain.
 In terms of historical buildings, I don't think "Enshoji" in this cannot be removed.
 The side of Enshoji is integrated with stores in the out-of-store market, and it is like a fusion of signboard architecture and temples.
 It has a rare landscape that can not be seen anywhere else, and I think it is a must-see.
 (I want this landscape to remain.)

ck1509_20160829 (7). jpg

<Enshoji Temple (on the right side is integrated with the store)>

 

C. The remnants of foreign settlements

 I think that foreign settlements are from now around Harumi-dori St. to around Irifune.
 It looks good, but the center is around Akashicho.
 As for buildings, the Toysler Memorial Hall and Catholic Tsukiji Association have remained since that time.
 It's left.
 There is also the St. Luke Chapel, gas lights remain, and the area is green and Western-style.
 I think you can feel the atmosphere.

<St. Luke Chapel, Toysler Memorial Hall>

<Tsukiji Catholic Church>

 

D. Fan-type Tsukiji Market

 The building of the fan-shaped Tsukiji Market itself, the sales floor of wholesalers in the hall, and the fish riverside Yokocho.
 The atmosphere of the building and the vibrant market is also one of the attractive buildings for me.
 However, this will be gone after the relocation to Toyosu, so go now.
 Let's keep it.

 

Then I will add one point.
Tsukiji is almost reclaimed now, but originally there is a waterway around the Tsukiji River.
It is a stretched land, and there are many places where the site is a green road, and the greenery is rich.
Especially in the area around St. Luke's International Hospital, it feels good to walk. Old maps and contemporary maps,
In addition, it is fun to take a walk around the area while comparing the photos of the time.

 

This time, I introduced Tsukiji from the viewpoint of architectural heritage.
If I have the opportunity, I would like to write an article from the viewpoint of gourmet.
History, architecture and gourmet. The market will move, but even so Tsukiji will create a charm that won't get bored.
It's overflowing.

A cicada that invites you to sleep in the afternoon

[Koedo Itabashi] August 25, 2016 16:00

How many kinds of cicadas live in Tokyo?

When the sunlight returns after the rain, the streets covered with concrete

It springs out into the trees and squeals.

Once you are concerned about it, your ears follow the sound.

 

Minminminmin

Jigie

Shashashashashasha

The sound coming down from a tall branch of a tree is a sound that represents summer.

Minminzemi, Abrazemi, bear seminar.

Ji, tsukutsukuhoshi, tsukutsukuhoshi

This cicada's squeal can be used to determine the type without mistake.

Cicada time rain is the seasonal word of summer.

Both the fall and the tray have already passed, but now is the best.

 

I went to St. Luke International Hospital in Akashicho.

The street from Tokyo Metro Tsukiji Station to St. Luke's Tower is located.

It is nicknamed "St. Luke Street".

Walk along the tree-lined road on the north side, avoiding sunlight.

Just across the Akashi Time Dome and the road is the height of the tree.

In addition, I feel like the squeals go through the sky.

Does the wall of the hospital resonate exquisitely?

There are two benches on the path.

An old aunt who avoided sunlight during a walk

I'm sitting down a little bit.

Slowly, the white hair was shaking.

If you are wrapped in trees, your heart will be shaken by the boat.

The voice of the noisy cicada seems to have changed to a survey that draws into the dream world.

 

In the early Meiji era, this neighborhood brought various artifacts as foreign settlements.

It can be said that it is a point of contact for culture.

Therefore, you can see a lot of monuments and commentary boards.

The roots of mission schools in Tokyo were also concentrated in this area.

I've been praying at Toysler Hall in St. Luke Hospital.

It is a place of prayer for patients and a hospital chapel where many lectures are held.

If you sit quietly on a chair, you will feel calm.

Can anyone enter the room?

It's okay if you don't have time for worship.

I myself am a plain Buddhist.
