A blend of Japanese style! Topics around Tsukiji, Ginza
Hello. I'm the active correspondent Hanes!
Sunday, July 21 was the House of Councilors election.
Recently, various efforts have been made to encourage young people to vote.
In particular, election discounts (you can receive services such as eating and drinking at a great price if you show proof of voting, etc.) and "I Voted" stickers (I have a strong impression that it is distributed in the United States, but I went to vote) Distribution has recently come to be heard and heard.
I think there are pros and cons for these, but isn't it an effort to increase the turnout that reflects the times?
Against this background, I often see hashtags called #Election Discount on SNS these days, but as often as that is about tapioca such as #Tapai and # Tapiocagram!
Just the other day, a friend from Taiwan, who can be said to be the home of tapioca milk tea, told me like this.
The tapioca boom has been visited many times in the last 30 years.
Now you can see tapioca drinks from Taiwan.
However, recently, the number of "new" tapioca drinks that add Japanese elements to tapioca drinks is increasing!
I would like to try such a tapioca drink that can only be drunk in Japan.♪
That's why I visited 11 (Sen Juichi) Ginza store this time.
Here, based on the concept of "not just NIHONCHA", we aim to convey the world's traditional "tea" culture to the world in a modern way.
(I'm particular about the chairs in the store.)
Among them, tapioca drinks with particularly strong Japanese elements include 1011 matcha green juice tapioca tea latte, 1011 pudding hojicha tapioca milk tea, hojicha tapioca milk tea, and brown rice tea tapioca milk tea.
I was very worried about brown rice tea tapioca milk tea, but this time I chose Hojicha tapioca milk tea, which had many orderers at the time of the visit!
While retaining the unique flavor of Hojicha, it has an unparalleled taste of tapioca milk tea that has been familiar with so far, and it is easy to drink even overseas who are new to Hojicha.
Tapioca itself, which contains a lot of luxuriously, is slightly sweet, and it is a drink that not only eats but also responds to eating.♪
Perfect when you're hungry!
Recently, "Wasanbon Tapioca Manpukuchakichi" (4-7-5 Tsukiji KY Building, Chuo-ku, Tokyo), which was just opened on June 20 this year, is conscious of health and beauty. I'm worried about ^^
This is a container with a Japanese design and a color-free Wasanbon tapioca (white!) It's unique.
Among them, I'm worried about what kind of taste the winter melon tapioca soy milk tea is.♪
Because it is close to Tsukiji Honganji and Tsukiji Outer Market, isn't it worth the eyes of overseas people?
In the destination country, it tends to be easier to try something that is familiar to some extent, such as knowing the raw materials and imagining what it tastes.
Last summer, a boy who came on a trip from Taiwan asked me how to get to a shop where you can eat a famous shaved ice in Ginza.
When it comes to Taiwan, shaved ice is so popular that fluffy shaved ice advances into Japan!
However, because the topping fruits and syrup are different, he wanted to try Japanese shaved ice.
Just like shaved ice, tapioca milk tea can be enjoyed outside Japan, but there are shops that "blend" even the uniqueness of Japan, similar to other things ^^
Also, I think Japan is quite particular about the appearance of Instagrammable.
If there are tourists visiting Japan who want to drink Japanese-style tapioca drinks, I would like to continue checking the trends so that they can convey their recommendations accurately!
