Through food that is friendly to the body, it becomes a bridge of friendship.
~ Red Square Ginza Store~
Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
Since the end of February, I have been paying close attention to the situation in Ukraine every day.
Some acquaintances have cooperated with donations and donations, and there has been a growing movement to support around me.
In addition, even when shopping at supermarkets in Chuo-ku, Ukrainian products are more noticeable than usual, and we can see our efforts to support and support Ukraine.
By the way, do you know the Russian food store Red Square Ginza store, which has a store in Ginza 1-chome?
This is a physical store of the Victoria Shop, which has been importing and selling food online since 2014, and opened on February 22, 2021.
According to the shop, Russian culture is to cook and preserve vegetables and fruits while they are fresh.
In addition, Russian food seems to be subject to strict regulations on additives and antibiotics.
We value the culture and awareness of such food, and this shop imports only foods that can be enjoyed with peace of mind.
Certainly, even if you look around the products in the store, the simple lineup that seems to be reminiscent of Russian nature, such as berries and mushrooms, is also impressive.
The representative of the shop filled with such commitment is Miyabe Victoria from Ukraine.
He said he started this shop with the desire to be a bridge between Japan, Russia, and Eurasian countries through friendly food that is friendly to the body of Russia and the surrounding countries.
In fact, just after the opening in 2021, I visited Russia's sweets, and I have used it several times so far.
My first friend at university was an international student from Russia, so the opening of a shop became a hot topic through LINE exchanges!
At the time of opening, we purchased a chocolate "Mishika Cassalapuy" with three bears drawn on the package and a popular premium cheese "Syrok" recommended by the shop.
This premium cheese is coated with white, milk and dark chocolate, and you can choose from two types of cheese milk fat percentages, 5% and 26%.
At this time, I chose milk chocolate coating (5% milk fat).♪
The most important taste is that the milk fat percentage is low, so it is light for cheese.
And the gentle sweetness followed me, and when I noticed, I was eating it completely.
This is a souvenir or a gift, and I want to convey its deliciousness to my friends.
And here's what I bought this time!
"Ukraine Kiev-style cutlet" which has just arrived recently.
The reason why I went to buy it as soon as it arrived is that while studying in the UK, I came across this dish (called "chicken Kiev" locally) and was delicious and sometimes eaten it.
Chicken kiev has different storage methods (refrigerated / frozen) and tastes depending on the store.
It is no exaggeration to say that frozen foods that I usually don't use frozen foods at all except ice cream are chicken kiev.
In other words, it's so delicious that you want to repeat it.♪
The box on the right side is one of the chicken kiev purchased while studying abroad.
Normally, fried in a frying pan or put it on a thin oiled top plate and slowly cooked slowly in the oven will give you a crispy feeling unique to cutlets, but this time you put it on a plate and warm it as it is Was.
As you can see, it was a moist and juicy finish, but it was accompanied by beans and potatoes, along with a baguette purchased at a bakery in the city.
When you put a knife in this cutlet, butter and gravy overflow as in the package, and the rich aroma of butter and herbs spreads around.
In addition, since the cutlet is rich in flavor, you can enjoy it enough without having to season the vegetables you add.
And the overflowing butter and gravy can be put on vegetables and baguettes, as well as cutlets.
I have eaten traditional dishes from various countries so far, but this is a gem that I would like to try so much that I can confidently say that it is worth trying once!
(If you live far away, you can purchase it at the online shop.)
In addition, we also purchase a dark chocolate coating (26% milk fat).
Richer taste due to increased milk fat percentage.
Because it is dark chocolate, the sweetness is less than milk chocolate, but the mellow taste combined with premium cheese was impressive.
Also, when shopping this time, the store received a message and items commemorating the 1st anniversary of the opening.
Stick-shaped instant coffee and colorful and cute illustrations are eye-catching chocolate.
I was very happy with the unexpected care.
Also, as you can see in the message in the photo above, difficult international situations still continue.
Flowers and messages received from those who were hurt in such a situation were displayed near the entrance of the store.
Like the shops, I sincerely hope that peace will return as soon as possible.
Last but not least, there are some precautions for those who use the shop.
When using the service, please read the request posted at the entrance and take care not to inconvenience the shop.
In writing this article, we received the cooperation of the staff of Red Square.
Thank you again.
