Esashi, Famous for Herring Fishing, Was the First Town in Hokkaido to Be Recognized as a Japan Heritage. In the Edo Period the Town Was Bustling With Commerce!

About Esashi, a "Japan Heritage" "Esashi, Sightseeing Promotional Video, Japan Heritage" (北海道江差町 観光PR動画(日本遺産)), is a video created by the "Esashi Municipal Department of Tourism." Esashi, in the Hiyama District of Hokkaido, is the first place to be registered as a Japan Heritage in Hokkaido, and is also a place of scenic beauty. It sits on the coast of the Sea of Japan, with a population of 7,561. (2019, May). It's said that Esashi is the origin of Hokkaido's culture and thrived thanks to it's herring fishing during the Edo Period. In 2014, the mayor of Esashi became the youngest mayor in Japan at just 29 years of age. In this video, the attractions of Esashi are packed into just 3 minutes of footage. Enjoy the nature and history of Esashi, Hokkaido. What Are "Esashi Herring"? Source :YouTube screenshot Esashi is surrounded by the ocean, and in the Edo period (1603-1867) it was a place where herring fishing was going through a boom. This is explained at 0:26 in the video. At the time, herring was a good fertilizer. Esashi was busy, especially in May, because herring was a seasonal fish in May and many ships from Edo (Tokyo) and Osaka, came to fish for them. Because of this, the popular phrase "Even Edo is not as busy as Esashi in May" was coined. Many of the leftover goods remain in the storehouses of merchants from the time, demonstrating their prosperity and showing just how successful the business was. Even now, herring soba is popular as a local dish in Esashi. Check out the video at 0:51 to see the merchant's warehouses. Tourist Attractions in Esashi! Source :YouTube screenshot There's Kamamome Island where ships called "Kitamaebune" docked during the herring fishing season, Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社, Itsukushima jinjya), where sailors prayed for safety at sea, and the strangely shaped Heishi Rock (瓶子岩, Heishiiwa). There's a legend of Heishi Rock, that says when the sailors couldn’t catch any herring and were facing starvation, they poured divine water into the sea causing a swarm of herring to appear. Since then, every July a ceremony is held where they replace the "Shimenawa" (a rope used to cordon off consecrated areas or as a talisman against evil) at Heishi Rock. This can be seen at 1:27 in the video. The Ubagami Grand Shrine (姥神大神宮, Ubagami Daijingu) which overlooks the port of Esashi, is famous for its summer festival, the Ubagami Grand Shrine Togyo Festival, which is said to be the oldest festival in Hokkaido. From 2:01, the festival song "Esashi Oiwake," which has been passed down since the Edo Period, can be seen being performed. It has a nostalgic melody reminiscent of Edo and because of that, it's said that "Esashi Oiwake" is the king of folk songs. The herring fishing song "Soran Bushi" and "Hokkai Bonuta" also represent the culture of Hokkaido. We recommend visiting Esashi during the summer festival where you can check out the big floats and the Ohayashi band. Recommended Tourist Attractions Photo:Esashi Inishie Kaido Street There are many historic places and buildings that remain in Esashi, such as shrines, temples and houses. Walking down Inishie Kaido Street, next to the ocean, will take you to those historic places. For example, The Former Nakamura Family Merchant House, Yokoyama House, and the Esashi Town Historical Museum are all attractive spots that retain a good old-fashioned Japanese atmosphere. Visiting Esashicho Bunka Hall, Esashi Town Meeting Hall, Esashi Oiwake/Yama Museum, and the Esashi Town Historical Museum to learn about the history is another great way to enjoy oneself. The Kaiyo Maru from Netherlands can be seen near Kamome Island. It was a battleship of the Shogunate's navy at the end of the Edo Period. (About 1860) You also get a great view, surrounded by the ocean waves, when the weather is nice. Don't forget your camera! Summary of Esashi Photo:A school of fish As you can see in the video, Esashi, Hokkaido is a fishing town with many and festivals and historic places left over from the old days of Japan. Enjoy seeing the attractions of Hokkaido through the video. At 2:36, we learn that, in 2017, a school of herring were seen for the first time in 104 years in Esashi, and a new light began to shine on Esashi once again. Esashi is a sort of hole-in-the-wall destination in Hokkaido, but has easy access from Hakodate by train or bus. If you're headed this way, we recommend checking out Hakodate as well! Also, if Esashi interests you, check out the local products of Hometown Tax Donation Program. There are attractive local products like queen crab and gasa shrimp. 【Official website】Esashi Town hall homepage https://www.hokkaido-esashi.jp/ 【Trip Advisor】Esashi https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g1120309-Esashi_cho_Hiyama_gun_Hokkaido-Vacations.html -

A Guide to Izakaya in Japan: Video Introduction 日本にっぽんの居酒屋いざかやの解説動画かいせつどうが紹介しょうかい This video, titled "IZAKAYA TIPS! 5 minutes 42 seconds|Suntory" (IZAKAYA TIPS!! 5分42秒 サントリー), was uploaded by "Suntory Official Channel" (サントリー公式チャンネル (SUNTORY)). 今回こんかいは、『サントリー公式こうしきチャンネル (SUNTORY)』さん制作せいさくの『IZAKAYA TIPS!! 5分ごふん42秒よんじゅうにびょう サントリー』という動画どうがを紹介しょうかいします。 Izakaya in Japan and Japanese Bar Culture 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやと日本にほんの酒場さかば文化ぶんか Photo:Kanpai at an izakaya(写真しゃしん:居酒屋いざかやで乾杯かんぱい) An izakaya (居酒屋) is a Japanese-style bar that serves alcoholic beverages and food. 居酒屋いざかやとは、酒類しゅるいと料理りょうりを提供ていきょうする日本風にほんふうの飲食店いんしょくてんのことです。 While bars and pubs are Western-style establishments and serve mainly Western-style alcoholic beverages, izakaya offer a greater variety and quantity of food than bars and pubs. 居酒屋いざかやは主おもに洋風ようふうの酒さけを提供ていきょうする洋風ようふうのバーやパブよりも料理りょうりの種類しゅるいや量りょうが多おおいのが特徴とくちょうです。 Unlike bars, izakaya are often used for parties/large groups of people. バーとは違ちがって、居酒屋いざかやはパーティーや大だい人数にんずうで利用りようされることが多おおいです。 They are also generally less formal than restaurants. また、一般的いっぱんてきにレストランよりもカジュアルな雰囲気ふんいきがあります。 [Video] 0:16 - What are Izakaya? 【動画どうが】0:16~ 居酒屋いざかやとは? Entering and Ordering at Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかや~入店にゅうてんから注文ちゅうもんまで~ Photo:A waitress pouring a beer(写真しゃしん:生ビールなまびーるを注そそぐ女性店員じょせいてんいん) When you enter an izakaya they'll likely greet you with the standard "irasshaimase!" (いらっしゃいませ!), or the shorter version "irasshai!" (いらっしゃい!). 居酒屋いざかやさんに入はいると、「いらっしゃいませ!」またはもっと短みじかい「いらっしゃい!」と挨拶あいさつされるでしょう。 Both of these mean "Welcome!" and are the typical greeting you'll hear at restaurants and stores across Japan. どちらも「ようこそ!」という意味いみで、日本中にほんじゅうのレストランやお店みせでよく聞きかれる挨拶あいさつです。 [Video] 0:31 - Staff Greeting a Customer 【動画どうが】0:31~ スタッフによるお客様きゃくさまへのご挨拶あいさつ After being seated at a table, the staff will likely bring oshibori (おしぼり) to your table. テーブルに着席ちゃくせきすると、店員てんいんさんがおしぼりを持もってきます。 Oshibori are wet towels that are used to wipe one's hands before eating. おしぼりとは、食事しょくじの前まえに手てを拭ふくための濡ぬれたタオルです。 You may see people wiping their faces or tables with oshibori, but keep in mind that this can be considered rude in some cases, so it might be best to avoid doing it. おしぼりで、顔かおやテーブルを拭ふくのを見みかけますが、失礼しつれいにあたることもあるので、避さけた方ほうが良よいかもしれません。 [Video] 0:37 - Oshibori 【動画どうが】0:37~ おしぼり After you've been seated and your oshibori has been brought to the table, the next thing to do is order your first dish. 席せきに着ついて、おしぼりが運はこばれてきたら、次つぎは注文ちゅうもんです。 At izakaya in Japan, it's common for everyone to order a simple beer, as they're all the same and can be served relatively quickly. ビールは比較的ひかくてき早はやく提供ていきょうされるので日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでは、最初さいしょにビールを注文ちゅうもんするのが定番ていばんです。 The stock phrase for this is "Toriaezu nama" (とりあえず生) which means "For now, I'll take a draft beer." 注文ちゅうもんする時とき、「とりえず、生なまビールお願ねがいします」という意味いみの「とりあえず生せい」という決きまり文句もんくを使つかいます。 Having said that, if you don't like beer, you can just order something else. とはいえ、ビールが苦手にがてな方ほうは、他たの飲のみ物ものを注文ちゅうもんしましょう。 [Video] 1:20 - Ordering Your First Drink at an Izakaya in Japan 【動画どうが】1:20~ 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやで初はじめての飲のみ物ものの注文ちゅうもん After you've ordered you're first drink or dish, you'll be served an otoshi (お通し). 最初さいしょの飲のみ物ものまたは料理りょうりを注文ちゅうもんした後のちは、「お通とおし」が出でてきます。 Otoshi are small appetizers served at izakaya and often include a variety of vegetables and sometimes meat, or they can be as simple as edamame. お通とおしとは、居酒屋いざかやで出だされる小ちいさな前菜ぜんさいのことで、よく野菜やさいや肉にくが入はいっていますが、枝豆えだまめなどのシンプルなお通とおしもあります。 These cost several hundred yen as they are served in place of a cover charge, and cannot be refused. お通とおしは、通常つうじょう数すう百ひゃく円えんのカバーチャージの代かわりに提供ていきょうされるため、断ことわることができません。 Unfortunately, you can't choose what your otoshi is, so if you're a picky eater or have allergies, you may not be able to eat them at all. 残念ざんねんながら、お通とおしは選えらべないので、好すき嫌きらいが激はげしい人ひとやアレルギーのある人ひとは食たべられない可能性かのうせいもあります。 [Video] 1:56 - Otoshi 【動画どうが】1:56~ お通とおし Ordering at an Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでの注文ちゅうもん Photo:A woman calling a server(写真しゃしん:店員てんいんを呼よぶ女性じょせい) After you've received your beer and otoshi, and you're ready to order, you'll need to call the server over to your table. ビールなどの飲のみ物ものとお通とおしがきて、注文ちゅうもんの品しなが決きまったら、店員てんいんさんをテーブルに呼よびます。 In Japan the server generally won't come to your table to check how the meal is or to ask if you want to order something. 日本にほんでは一般的いっぱんてきに、店員てんいんさんは食事しょくじの様子ようすを見みに来きたり、追加注文ついかちゅうもんを聞ききに来きたりすることはありません。 Instead, you'll call them over to the table when you want to order something. その代かわり、何なにか注文ちゅうもんしたいときにはテーブルまで店員てんいんさんを呼よびます。 This can be done by calling out "sumimasen!" (すみません), which means "Excuse me!" in Japanese. そのとき、「すみません!」と呼よびかけをしましょう。 As the video mentions, this is never considered rude and is the proper way to order at an izakaya and most restaurants in Japan. 動画どうがで紹介しょうかいされているように、「すみません」は、居酒屋いざかやや日本にほんのほとんどのレストランでも使つかわれている正ただしい注文ちゅうもん方法ほうほうなので失礼しつれいにはあたりません。 [Video] 2:36 - Calling the Server at an Izakaya in Japan 【動画どうが】2:36~ 居酒屋いざかやで店員てんいんさんを呼よぶ様子ようす If you're not a picky eater and are feeling adventurous, you can always ask the server for their recommendation as well. 好き嫌すききらいが激はげしくなくて、冒険ぼうけん心しんがある人ひとなら、店員てんいんさんにお勧すすめのメニューを聞きいてみるのも良よいでしょう。 The phrase for this is "Osusume wa?" (おすすめは?). その時ときの決きまり文句もんくは「おすすめは?」。 You don't have to know what they're saying, just give a simple "Okay," and you should have no problems ordering. 言いっていることが分わからなくても、「OK」と言いえば、注文ちゅうもんできるはずです。 Another tip to keep in mind when ordering, is to point at the pictures on the menu. 注文ちゅうもんするときのもう1ひとつのポイントは、メニューの写真しゃしんを指ゆび差さすことです。 This will make it much easier to order. そうすれば、注文ちゅうもんがしやすくなるでしょう。 If there aren't any pictures, the Google Translate app's real time translation feature is super useful, so definitely give it a try! 写真しゃしんがない場合ばあいは、Google翻訳ぐーぐるほんやくのアプリのリアルタイム翻訳機能ほんやくきのうがすごく便利べんりなので、ぜひ使つかってみてください。 [Video] 3:40 - Asking the Staff for a Recommendation 【動画どうが】3:40~ 店員てんいんさんにおすすめを聞きく様子ようす Izakaya Food – Menu Items, Courses, and Prices at Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでの注文ちゅうもん方法ほうほう Photo:An izakaya party menu(写真しゃしん:居酒屋いざかやの宴会メニューえんかいめにゅー) Japan's izakaya often serve a wide variety of dishes. 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでは、様々さまざまなメニューがあります。 You can often find small dishes using a variety of vegetables, sashimi platters, and things like karaage (Japanese fried chicken), yakitori (chicken skewers), takoyaki (fried balls of batter with octopus), and gyoza (pot stickers), as well as larger dishes like seafood bowls and even ramen. 様々さまざまな野菜やさいを使つかった小皿こざらのメニューや刺身さしみの盛もり合あわせ、から揚あげ、焼やき鳥とり、たこ焼やき、餃子ぎょうざなどの軽かるいものも多おおくありますが、海鮮丼かいせんどんやラーメンといったボリュームのあるメニューもあります。 Besides the individual dishes and drinks, most izakaya in Japan offer a "tabehoudai" (食べ放題, all you can eat) or "nomihoudai" (飲み放題, all you can drink) course as well. 単品たんぴんのメニューや飲のみ物ものの他ほかに、日本にほんの多おおくの居酒屋いざかやには、「食たべ放題ほうだい」や「飲のみ放題ほうだい」というコースがあります。 Both courses are structured roughly the same. どちらのコースもほぼ同おなじ構成こうせいです。 They usually last 90-120 minutes and allow you to choose most things on the menu. 通常つうじょう90分きゅうじゅっぷん〜120分ひゃくにじゅっぷんのコースで、ほとんどのメニューを選えらぶことができます。 If you order something that isn't included in the course, it will be added onto your bill. コースに含ふくまれないメニューを注文ちゅうもんすると、会計かいけいに追加ついかされます。 The server will generally explain what you can and cannot order with the courses. また、コースで注文ちゅうもんできるもの、できないものについては、店員てんいんさんが説明せつめいしてくれます。 The prices for these courses vary by izakaya, but both tabehoudai and nomihoudai generally cost somewhere around ¥2,000-¥3,000+. これらのコースの値段ねだんは居酒屋いざかやによって異ことなりますが、食たべ放題ほうだいと飲のみ放題ほうだいの価格かかくは、それぞれ2,000円えんから3,000円えんぐらいが一般的いっぱんてきです。 Some izakaya even offer a "tabe-nomihoudai" (食べ飲み放題) course which combines them into an "all-you-can-eat-and-drink" course. また、居酒屋いざかやによっては、食たべ放題ほうだいと飲のみ放題ほうだいを合あわせた「食たべ飲のみ放題ほうだい」コースがあります。 You can expect this to cost around ¥4,000-¥5,000+. この場合ばあい、4,000~5,000円えんぐらいかかるかもしれません。 Something to keep in mind when ordering these courses is that, in general, if one person orders it, everyone has to order it. これらのコースを注文ちゅうもんするときに気きを付つけることは、一般的いっぱんてきに、一人ひとりが注文ちゅうもんしたら、全員ぜんいんが注文ちゅうもんしなければならないということです。 This is to prevent one person from getting the course and sharing their food or drinks with everybody else. これは、一人ひとりが注文ちゅうもんした「食たべ放題ほうだい」「飲のみ放題ほうだい」メニューを、他たの人ひとにシェアしないための工夫くふうです。 There are some places that don't require everyone to order the course, but these restaurants are not common. なかには全員ぜんいんが注文ちゅうもんしなくてもいいというお店みせもありますが、一般的いっぱんてきにはありません。 Paying the Bill at an Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでの支払しはらいについて Photo:Staff taking payment at a table(写真しゃしん:席せきで会計かいけいをする居酒屋店員いざかやてんいん) When paying your bill at an izakaya in Japan, just like when ordering, it's commonplace to call the staff over with "sumimasen!" 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやで会計かいけいをしたいときは、注文ちゅうもんするときと同おなじように、「すみません!」と店員てんいんを呼よぶのが一般的いっぱんてきです。 The easiest phrase for telling the server you want to pay your bill is "okaikei onegaishimasu" (お会計お願いします, Check, please). お会計かいけいをお願ねがいするための決きまり文句もんくは「お会計かいけいお願ねがいします」 If you say this, they'll have the bill at your table in no time. この言葉ことばを言いえば、店員てんいんさんがお会計かいけいをすぐにテーブルまで持もってきてくれます。 You'll either pay the bill at your table and the staff will bring you your change, or you bring the bill to the register to pay. Every izakaya is different. テーブルで会計かいけいを済すませる場合ばあい、店みせのレジで会計かいけいをする場合ばあいがありますが、お店みせによって違ちがいます。 Another important thing to note when paying at izakaya is that most places will not allow you to split the bill. もう1つ居酒屋いざかやで払はらうときに覚おぼえておきたいことは、ほとんどのお店みせで個別こべつで支払しはらうことはできません。 This is because it's not clear who ate what sometimes, and if there's a large group of people it can take a lot of time to pay. 理由りゆうは、居酒屋いざかやでは個人こじんが何なにを食たべたかが分わかりにくくて、大だい人数にんずうの個別こべつの会計かいけいは時間じかんがかかるからです。 To avoid these problems, most izakaya require that groups pay together. このような問題もんだいが起おこらないように、ほとんどの居酒屋いざかやでは、グループごとに会計かいけいをしています。 Tokyo? Kyoto? Where to Find Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんで居酒屋いざかやにいくなら東京とうきょう?京都きょうと?見みつける方法ほうほうは? Photo:Ponto-cho, Kyoto(写真しゃしん:京都きょうと・先斗町ぽんとちょう) Now that you're interested in izakaya, you're probably wondering where they actually are. さて、居酒屋いざかやに興味きょうみを持もったところで、実際じっさいに居酒屋いざかやはどこにあるのか気きになりますよね。 From the big cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka to the smallest towns in Japan, izakaya can be found everywhere! 東京とうきょう、京都きょうと、大阪おおさかなどの大都市だいとしから、日本にほんの小ちいさな町まちまで、居酒屋いざかやはどこにでもあります。 If you look up "Izakaya" on google maps, you can find lots of izakaya wherever you are.

Some of the most popular izakaya in Japan are oden, hot pot, and yakitori. 様々さまざまなメニューがある日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやですが、中なかには、おでん、焼やき鳥とり、鍋なべなどがメインの専門店せんもんてんもあります。 Oden izakaya serve mainly oden, a type of a type of hot pot dish that often uses ingredients like chikuwa, konjac, daikon, eggs, etc. おでんの居酒屋いざかやは、ちくわ、こんにゃく、大根だいこん、卵たまごなどを使つかった「おでん」という鍋料理なべりょうりがメインです。 Hot pot izakaya serve mostly boiled dishes that you cook at your own pace while eating. 鍋なべの居酒屋いざかやは、食たべながら自分じぶんのペースで調理ちょうりする煮物にもの料理りょうりを提供ていきょうします。 Yakitori izakaya focus on grilled chicken skewers that the chef usually cooks over a charcoal grill over the counter. そして、焼やき鳥とりの居酒屋いざかやは、カウンターの上うえにある炭火すみびで焼やいた鶏肉けいにくの串焼くしやきがメインです。 Thus, there are many izakaya that focus on a specific dish. このように、ある特定とくていのメニューがメインの居酒屋いざかやも多おおくあります。 Summary of Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやまとめ This was our introduction to Japan's izakaya culture. 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかや文化ぶんかについて解説かいせつしました。 Be sure to reference it when you visit an izakaya in Japan. 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやを利用りようする際さいに参考さんこうにしてください。 Besides standard izakaya, there are many different types that specialize in a specific menu item. 居酒屋いざかやには、一般いっぱん的てきな居酒屋いざかやのほかに、特とく化かしたメニューがある居酒屋いざかやもたくさんあります。 Trying different izakaya and ordering all sorts of different foods and drinks is one of the best things about them. 様々さまざまな料理りょうりや飲のみ物ものを注文ちゅうもんできるのが居酒屋いざかやの醍醐味だいごみの1つです。 Izakaya can be found all across Japan and are best enjoyed with friends, but you can also enjoy them alone as well! 日本全国にっぽんぜんこくにある居酒屋いざかやは、友人ゆうじんと一緒いっしょに行いくのが楽たのしいですが、一人ひとりでも楽たのしめます!
