Mowi Salmon Store (outside Tsukiji)

[Chuo Kotaro] September 28, 2016 09:00

I met a shop dealing with salmon with a slightly unusual name in Tsukiji, so I would like to introduce it.
I think.
A salmon with an unfamiliar name called Mowi Salmon (Mowi Salmon)
This is a shop specializing in it.


Walk toward Kachidokibashi from the intersection of Tsukiji 4-chome, and walk a little before entering the waveguide street.
It's located along Harumi-dori St.
The color of white and orange between sushi and Kadoyama is eye-catching.
There's a shop.

ck1509_20160926 (1). jpg ck1509_20160926 (2). jpg

 
Speaking of salmon in Japan, white salmon, red salmon, and silver salmon. The name "salmon" is King Salmon.
Atlantic salmon, trout salmon, etc. are noticeable when they goggle.
I've heard the name of each one.

 

By the way, the first landing in Japan recently entered the Tokyu Plaza Ginza store.
"Baric Salmon" at "Caviar House & Prunnier/Sandwich House".
I saw you deal with "salmon" called "salmon", but this is the type of salmon.
Instead, the salmon from Norway was smoked by a certain method.
I think I'll call you.

 

 

Yeah,
Mowisalmon is located on the Norway, Marine Harvest.
The world's largest producer of aquaculture salmon
It seems to be a variety that has been developed over 50 years.
The world's best Norwegian salmon lineage
It is a proud premium brand that we have inherited.

 

The shop itself is a directly managed store of Marine Harvest (the first in Japan).
It opened in February of this year (2016).

 

Although it is a product handled, it can be used for fillet (not cut) or cut off.
Of course, you can buy it, but you can also buy marinade as a side dish.

ck1509_20160926 (3). jpg

 

There are two types of marinades that use raw (Japanese style and genobese style) and smoked ones.
1 type (Italy style)
There are a total of 3 types, 700 yen per 100g for raw and 100g for smoke.
It's 1200 yen. (I feel like smoke was said to be a Belgian manufacturing method.)

 

There are also packaged products that combine marinade with raw vegetables.
1,000 yen pack with a fixed amount of salmon.
Vegetable fee 500 yen + salmon fee.
There is a pack that allows you to freely select the type and amount of salmon.
Vegetables are also fresh vegetables purchased at Tsukiji, trepis, Ladish, Selbachiko, etc.
Red core radish, ruccolla,
Somehow high-quality vegetables such as Castel Franco are used.
Yes. If you want to enjoy it easily, do you buy marinade in grams or pack vegetables?
ck1509_20160926 (4). jpg ck1509_20160926 (5). jpg

I tasted three kinds of marinades, but all of them were smooth and delicious without habit.
That's right.
If you buy a pack with vegetables and eat it with cheese, wine or sake, you can enjoy it.
I feel like it. Would it be better to prepare crackers or bread?

 

 
Then, as another signboard product, a special called "Mowisalmon Sandwich"
I have some sandwiches.
The price is as high as 2000 yen, but French bread and truffle.
A lot of tamago, and smoke-mowisammon
It is sandwiched, considering the material and quantity of the ingredients.
I guess it's not cheap.

 

By the way, the bread is from a famous bakery in the neighborhood of Tsukiji.

I didn't tell you somewhere, but is that bakery on the settlement Chuo-dori?
I tried to buy one Mowisamon Sandwich. As expected, premium
It was delicious.

Natural vegetable shop Limcrasso Tsukiji Honganji back

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] September 27, 2016 09:00

Introducing Limcrasso, a greengrocer that only handles vegetables grown with pesticide-free and chemical-free fertilizers that opened in April behind Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

 

When I was looking for a restaurant where I could have lunch slowly near Tsukiji, is it a white wall, purple long Japanese shop curtain, a seemingly Japanese restaurant? A shop that stopped thinking of it. When I went inside as if I was inhaled, colorful vegetables jumped into my eyes.

Shop. jpgRed pepperman. jpg 

The mushroom that offered me "Please" was a mushroom with salt and olive oil and a little heat. The mouth is filled with the scent of mushrooms and the juicy umami in no time. Have you ever eaten such a delicious mushroom? Immediately, I was curious about the power of the vegetables at this shop.

The vegetables handled by Limcrasso are zubari, "natural vegetables"!

Natural vegetables are methods that coexist with insects, microorganisms, and grass without using pesticides or herbicides, and grow without giving scientific fertilizer.

 

Some of the vegetables that Limcrasso handles are grown without fertilizer at all. The idea of growing vegetables without fertilizer is from the eyes of a long time. However, natural vegetation and wild grass grow well without fertilizer. In the season, you can enjoy bracken, spring, tarp buds, mizu, etc. That's the same thing.

If you believe in the power of vegetables and prepare the environment, you will grow up well. It is Keitaro Matsushima and Yoko Maruyama of Limcrasso, who connect producers with such ideas and our consumers who want to eat safe and delicious vegetables. Because it is Chuo-ku, where genuine long-established stores gather, I look forward to Mr. Limcrasso, who will deliver the real thing in agriculture.

On the homepage (Facebook), information on vegetables sold daily is also posted.

If you are interested, please visit Limcrasso's website.

DG Fish & Shellfish, a restaurant using Rimcrasso's vegetables, is located near the Hamarikyu Garden. It seems good to use it when walking around Hamarikyu. It's your home page.

Mrs. Takeko Kujo, Tsukiji Honganji Knows his great achievements

[Silver] September 20, 2016 14:00

 On the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, there is a monument to Mrs. Takeko Kujo.

"Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" edited by Chuo-ku Tourism Association describes Mrs. Takeko Kujo as follows.

 

Takeko Kujo (1887-1928) was born in Kyoto as the second daughter of Koson Otani, the master of Nishi Honganji Temple. At the age of 21, he married Baron Yoshimune Kujo.

She accompanied her husband to study abroad at the University of Cambridge in the UK, but returned to Japan two years later. After that, he stayed at U.K. for 11 years, including working at the London branch of Yokohama Shokin Bank, so he lived separately for nearly 10 years. In the meantime, Takeko refined her various talents, such as learning waka from Nobutsuna Sasaki, painting from Shoen Uemura, and ikebana from Nishikawa Ikusatei, leaving works such as the songbooks "Kinsu", "Kaosen", and the essay "Muyuka". . When he was at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, he encountered the Great Kanto Earthquake and worked hard on the earthquake reconstruction project. There is a song monument on the precincts, saying, "I'm going to be drawn after a great thing."

 

 For a while, I didn't have the opportunity to explore Mrs.'s achievements.

Mrs. Takeko Kujo found a photograph of the people affected by the Great Kanto Earthquake in front of Hibiya Park, etc. on the first floor of the Reconstruction Memorial Hall in Yokoami 2-chome, Sumida-ku.

 

Although the photo was published in the newspaper, I thought it would be rude to introduce the precious face of noble people, so I will introduce only the explanation.

 You died at the young age of 41. For his wife's achievements.
