This is a drawing by breaking down the Kanji of "Aoi"、Because it is finished so that it becomes a character of "Aoi" by combining six books of "black, white, red, blue, yellow, and green" consisting of the poetry collection "Straight line of smoke" of Katsue Kitazono who was a modernist poet from Mie Prefecture、You can enjoy each book that is replaced regularly!

The interior gives a bright and soft impression with the plastered walls created by artisans.、The lighting of the masterpiece that appeared as one of the essential items in Ajioka World is hung、The lighting made of Nepalese rokta paper crawling twigs、The counter is decorated with warm and gentle light!

In this renovation、How to make use of the narrow locker space for staff connecting the separated was the point、Divide this small space with a counter、Cooking space and layout in the audience。By pulling out the ceiling and showing the beam, it is finished in a space with a sense of liberation。

It was attached parallel to the counter with the ear using the tree of the rose.、Colorful Italian mosaic tiles!

Kombu-tighten, originally a local dish of Toyama Prefecture。During the Edo period、In Toyama Prefecture, where many kelp was transferred from Hokkaido、Consumption of kelp is very high、It is said that this kelp tightening was one of the ways to use it.。 When kelp tightening is performed,、The moisture of sashimi is sucked into the kelp.、I'm tight.。At the same time、Because the umami of kombu shifts to sashimi、It has a completely different texture and taste from regular sashimi.。 Also、Such preparations such as "kelp tightening" are called "work" among craftsmen.、In an era when refrigeration technology was almost never、It has also been used as a way to increase preservation power.。What was slept shallowly for only a few hours with kelp?、The fragrant scent of kombu drifts softly、Enjoy moderate stickiness and elasticity、In addition, what I put to sleep for a day loses moisture and tightens my body.、It is so tight and elastic that it is firmer.。It will be a job that goes well with pale white fish.。

And、Three kinds of tuna also pickled are "red meat"、"Tuna"、"Great Toro"。

"Tuna Lean"

Flower of Edomae Sushi、Tuna。"Pickled" with red meat soaked in soy sauce is one of the sushi restaurant jobs that has been transmitted since the late Edo period.。"Pickled" is the job of soaking fish in soy sauce, but speaking of pickles at sushi restaurants, it generally refers to pickled red meat.。Tuna caught in a big catch at a time in Edo、Mackerel and autumn swordfish、鰯 with other、is a popular fish、It was treated as a lower fish.、In the Meiji era, tuna began to appear in street food sushi, and it gradually became popular.、Eventually, it became a staple of sushi seeds.。At that time when there was no refrigeration facilities and storage place was limited、It seems that it was common to eat tuna that is easy to oxidize.。At that time, fat like Toro was almost shunned by Edo children.、Speaking of pickles, it is said that it refers to lean meat.。

"Angel sound muskmelon" is now available at Sushi Takemaso!
Unlike other greenhouse melons, this melon is different from other greenhouse melons because it combines green meat aalsphebolit and white meat hero o'rockinge.。The biggest difference is the way it looks.、Small and not beautiful。That's the best part.。What's even different is that、Taste and aroma.。Originally published as Muskmelon、It is characterized by elegant sweetness and fragrance.、"Mellow taste", "splendor of fragrance", "melty texture" of this "angel sound muskmelon"、probably never experienced anyone、It is an impressive finish。

Currently, in Corona, restaurants continue to be open for short periods of time and self-restraint nationwide、Not only restaurants but also producers who deliver are greatly affected by this.。Because agriculture has a decided timing of harvest、Vegetables and fruits that have lost their place are often discarded.。Kageyama's farm, which produces "Angel Sound Muskmelon", is the same.、1It is said that 1,000 balls per month had to be discarded.。So Kageyama started developing new processed products so that the harvested melons would not be lossed.、Melon jelly to drink using melon juice is devised、In addition, we launched crowdfunding to directly sell melons and processed products.、Current、We are recruiting supporters all over the country.。Luxury melons that cost more than 10,000 yen per ball at department stores can be purchased at a discount with [5,000 yen per ball] in this crowdfunding ♪ Crowdfunding project is until 11:00 on April 5, so please see the following site for details!
