Perfect for sake! Tangy and mature
"Potato Boruda Beef Stock and Wasabi Flavor"
Calbee+ and Tokyo Banana's collaboration brand "Jaga Boruda". “Potato Boruda Beef Stock and Wasabi Flavor” is a GRANSTA Tokyo limited product.
A dish with the tangy scent of Shinshu-produced wasabi in the carefully extracted “beef broth”. The thick-sliced potato chips have a strong potato flavor, and the fluffy scent of wasabi spreads out. An adult flavor that goes perfectly with sake!
Jagabee with authentic curry flavor
"Jagabee Tokyo Curry Flavor"
Potato sticks with skin "Jagabee"that are limited to Tokyo is the "Tokyo curry flavor". The sweetness of the onion is the point. It also contains cheese, so it has a mild spiciness.
The fluffy texture of the potatoes and the slightly spicy curry flavor are perfect with beer!
It is also a nice point that one bag is 16g and just the right amount.
A Tokyo souvenir that conveys your gratitude
“Ariga Tokyo”
“Ariga Tokyo” is a Tokyo souvenir that conveys your "thank you". A series of bite-sized fried crackers that are perfect for snacks. It uses 100% domestic non-glutinous rice that has been carefully selected.
The theme is "restaurant of downtown". Shrimp tempura, napolitan, kinpira burdock root, monja, and more!
Just like the concept of a Tokyo souvenir that conveys "thank you", it is perfect for small gifts and souvenirs.
Pickled eggs? !
It also appeared in that TV drama!
Ginza Wakana's "Edo Tamago"
Ginza Wakana's "Edo Tamago", which also appeared in the TV drama "Sensei no Toriyose".
An authentic miso-marinated egg that is slightly different from the ajitama (seasoned eggs), made by pickling a whole fresh boiled egg. Eggs are carefully pickled and matured for 10 days on a specially made miso floor. The miso flavor permeates the egg, giving it a deep cheese-like flavor. You will want to relax and enjoy sake while eating little by little.
It can be used as an ingredient in ramen, or finely chopped into potato salad.
Local rice crackers only available in Tokyo
"Tokyo Shiba Ebiten" from Bankaku Sohonpo
Sakakaku Sohonpo, a shrimp cracker store with its head office in Aichi Prefecture, has been in business for more than 130 years. They have local seafood rice crackers only available in Tokyo!
That is "Tokyo Shiba Ebi-ten" made with shiba prawns. Shiba prawns were caught in large quantities in Shibaura in Tokyo Bay during the Edo period (1603-1867), hence the name. This rice cracker is made of such shiba prawns in the kakiage style of Edo cuisine.
A crisp and light texture reminiscent of kakiage. You can also feel the flavor of shrimp firmly, and it can be used as a tea cup or as a snack. The Kabuki-like package is also perfect for Tokyo souvenirs!
Healthy seaweed snack
"Tokyo Station Seaweed Chips (Plum, Sesame)" from Yamamoto Nori
"Tokyo Station Seaweed Chips (Plum, Sesame)" from the long-established Yamamoto Nori Shop, which was founded in 1849. A flavored seaweed snack made by sandwiching ingredients between two sheets of high-quality seaweed. You can enjoy two kinds of flavors, plum flavor and sesame flavor. The Tokyo Station original design can with the Marunouchi station building drawn is also a point!
My recommendation is plum flavor! The refreshing plum flavor and the scent of seaweed are the perfect match. It's so delicious that you can't stop eating it.
You can eat it as soon as you open the bag!
Snack Smoked Mackerel "THE Sa-BAR"
From here, we will introduce 3 things we found at Gransta's "Nippon Department Store Tokyo"!
"THE Sa BAR" is a smoked flavor of carefully selected Norwegian mackerel. Itoshima Mataichi salt is used to bring out the firm flavor. It can be stored at room temperature, so it's perfect for souvenirs!
Comes with a tray, toothpick, and wet towel, so you can eat it as it is when you open the bag.
There is no fishy smell, and the fragrant aroma spreads in your mouth. Wine, Japanese sake, beer, and any other kind of alcoholic beverages will go smoothly.
Nostalgic and new delicacy series
"New Chin-mi"
"New Chin-mi" series with the theme of "new snacks for new adults." Showa retro package is attractive. A perfect gift for sake lovers!
Especially recommended is the "Hana Cheese (flower cheese)" series, which is made by shaving bonito fluff into extremely thin pieces. "Hana Cheese Hokkaido Salmon" is the best match between the mellow cheese flavor and the salmon scent. "Flower Cheese Smoke" has a addictive smoked scent.
Stylish crackers born in Tokyo made by brothers
"SENBEI BROTHERS"
Kasahara Seika's rice cracker brand "SENBEI BROTHERS". The concept is “Delicious and cool senbei”. They have a lineup of unusual flavors for rice crackers, such as “cheddar cheese” and “truffle salt”.
Our recommendation is the Oba (perilla) Genovese, which was jointly developed exclusively for Japanese department stores. The refreshing flavor of perilla matches both tea and sake!
For an evening drink on the way home
"Kokugikan Yakitori"
"Kokugikan Yakitori" is perfect to accompany your evening drink!
Homemade yakitori, which is actually grilled in the basement of the Kokugikan, is the specialty of watching the Kokugikan Grand Sumo Tournament. The key point is the secret sauce that makes it delicious even when it's cold. Of course, you can warm it up and enjoy it!
