A tour of antenna shops in the six prefectures of Tohoku In March, short trips were made from Michinoku Journey's nesting.
"Hesting" continues, and I haven't been traveling for a while.
Travel is not remote, but you can walk on your own, enjoy the scenery of the land, eat delicious food, buy specialty products as souvenirs and return home.
In Tokyo, there are (mostly) antenna shops in each prefecture in Japan.
This time, we planned a tour of antenna shops in the six prefectures of Tohoku. First of all, from Miyagi Hometown Plaza in Ikebukuro.
"Miyagi Furusato Plaza (nickname: Koko Miyagi) The specialty is beef tongue and shark fin.
First of all, it is located on the 1st and 2nd floors of Higashiike Building, 1-2-2 Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, a little far from Chuo-ku.
"I went to Miyagi Hometown Plaza (nickname: Koko Miyagi).
Speaking of Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai City, the largest city in the Tohoku region, is the prefectural capital. Matsushima, one of Japan's three most scenic spots, also visited Matsuo Basho.
I had a business trip to a fishing company in Shiogama Port around 1990 for business negotiations, and I remember visiting Shiogama Shrine before that business negotiation. Masamune Date has a strong religion, and there is a mansion in Shimbashi, Minato-ku, related to the Sendai Domain. famous confectionery's "Hagi no Tsuki" is famous. (It was not available on this day.)
We purchased Sendai's specialty beef tongue, dried saury landed at Onagawa Port, dried mirin, fukaherespe in Kesennuma, shiriku rice crackers, and garlic rice crackers. After returning home, I'm ready for dinner. I was immersed in my journey with sake from "Aizu Michinoku Sake Journey" in Fukushima Prefecture, which I had bought.

Akita-shi, Akita: Akita Furusatokan, 1st floor of Yurakucho Kotsu Kaikan, Chiyoda-ku
Speaking of Akita, Kiritanpo and Hinauchi chicken are famous. I purchased Hiuchi chicken curry (retort) and Hiuchi chicken Shirayu ramen. I also purchased a rice cracker "Shirokami Newsletter" made from water from the Shirakami Mountains.
Here, I got a stamp card. It's nice to have more points every time I come next time.

Fukushima-shi, Fukushima: Nihonbashi Fukushimakan Midette 4-3-16 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku comparison of Japanese sake drink
From the upper right, "Abukuma no Momijizuke", which uses red salmon and attaches to koji, is ideal for sake appetizers.
The “local chicken rice source” using Abukuma chicken and Kawamata shamo, and the “Ajid octopus” processed in Onahama are exquisite.
Then, I got the surimi product that left only one bag, "White Steamed Kamaboko". Because it was heated, I ate it with wasabi soy sauce as it was, but it was refreshing and the taste of the ingredients remained, and the price was reasonable. This is also recommended.
