Today, December 8, is "Rice Day" 🍚✨
Satoyama no Yume, a branded rice from Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, won first place in the "Osaka Residents’ Most Delicious Rice Contest" and is a carefully selected rice with a taste score of 80 or higher.

By creating a branded rice, Satoyama no Yume aims to build an environment where young people can take up farming with hope, contribute to agriculture and regional development, and bring dreams and aspirations to the community. This rice packs the dreams of satoyama farmers. To promote circular agriculture by reusing bamboo that damages farmland, farmers spent years experimenting to achieve this proud flavor. They cut bamboo into powder, ferment it for use as fertilizer, and use oyster shells—Hiroshima Prefecture’s specialty—to replenish soil minerals. These practices contribute not only to great taste but also to building a sustainable society that cares for the environment.

(Rice Day falls on the 8th, 18th, and 28th of every month.)

2024.12.03 Maruyasu Tanakaya Main Store

On this day, the gluttonous Kasai was again lured by the sweet Aroma and said, "I visited the main store of Maruyasu Tanakaya.

The person who took time out of his busy schedule to talk to us was Mr. Tsuchihashi.
There and a main store near the Suwa Lake, and there are two stores in the Suwa City of Kamisuwa Station, one in front of Kamisuwa Station. The company was founded in 1929 in front of Kamisuwa Station as Maruyasu Tanakaya. This year, it is a confectionery and cake shop that boasts a history of 95 years.
Speaking of Maruyasu Tanakaya? It is a "cheesecake entremet" that can also be ordered!! It seems that the beauty advisor Chizu Saeki introduced it as a more well-known opportunity. Cheesecake entremet itself is a flagship product that has been loved for 40 years. It is also shipped nationwide, so I hope that people from all over Japan will be able to enjoy it!

Maruyasu Tanakaya has a strong image of Western confectionery, but when it was first founded, it made Japanese sweets. The recipe from that time is still being used in "Yokan"! It is made with red beans and azuki beans carefully selected from the fact that we have been wholesaling Rice, so please enjoy yokan!
Mr. Tsuchihashi's recommendation is the country of ⇒ Shinano!! Gastronomical delicacies with chopped chestnuts in Butter castella and wrapped in lemon cream with a refreshing aroma! It has been loved for about 50 years, likened to the prefectural song "Shinano no Kuni" that the people of the prefecture love! Also, on the side, the ♪ country of Shinano is ~ 十州にぃ~ The old country name of 10 provinces is on the side of the packing paper!! I love this wrapping paper so much that I use the packing paper of the previous model as a teaching material.

Maruyasu Tanakaya There are a variety of sweets, so there is also an eat-in space! Everyone, please invite your friends to tea time and enjoy it.

Today, I went to “Maruyasu Tanakaya Main branch”. They have another branch close to Kamisuwa station. They started in 1929. So, this year 95 years!!! Many Japanese traditional sweets shop has long history. This day, Mr. Tsuchihashi Managing Director talk to me.
Their shop’s famous product is “Cheese Cake Entreme”. It been loved for 40 years. Many media and magazine were coming in to the spotlight for Cheese Cake Entreme. They have online shop therefore, nationwide shipping. Please enjoy in your home.

I imaged Maruyasu Tanakaya making western sweets just like Cheese Cake Entreme. But it was wrong… At the beginning their shop, it was Japanese Traditional sweets shop. Yokan (sweet bean jelly) is as it was then.
Mr. Tsuchihashi’s recommendation is “Shinano no Kuni”. It is butter sponge cake inside chopped finely chestnut. Finally, Lemon cream covered it. Sounds so yummy, right? Definitely!!!

They have many kinds of sweets. If you come to Suwa city. Please try them! I bet you like!

Hello from Akkeshi, an oyster town in Hokkaido.
Akkeshi = Akkeshi ⭕️
Akkeshi = Atsushi ❌
Akkeshi=Akke City ❌

A small town with a population of about 8,000.
Although the population is small, the amount of oysters landed is No. 1 in Hokkaido

Today I am milking the sea. 🦪🥛
Squeeze and bottle.

This is surprisingly difficult.
It takes time, but it can't be helped.
Each grain is carefully bottled.

Hand squeezing.

Flush on the line like a major dairy manufacturer
I want to pack it, but it's not liquid.
Since it is a solid substance, it does not go that way.

Free
Rich Akkeshi Bay milk 🦪🥛

The diameter of the cap mouth is used to create a bottle feeling.
Because it is not a very wide type
There may be oysters that are a little difficult to remove?

If the scallop is large, it will get a little caught.
I'll be out soon.

Well, that's it.
Fun to look at, delicious to eat
It is a product full of playfulness and contains serious raw oysters.

170g/10 tablets

Akkeshi Town Hometown Tax Registered Product.
I want to eat oysters from Hokkaido!
When I thought about it, I went to Akkeshi Town.

Milk from Akkeshi Bay is nutritious 💯
