The signboards on the other side of the fence are "Freshwater fish", "Warehouse entry", and "Tokyo Fish Container Co., Ltd."

It is the remains of a store left in the closed Tsukiji market.

"Freshwater fish" is not the sea. It is a fish shop in rivers and lakes.
Many stores in Tsukiji sold seafood, but there were also stores selling freshwater fish and shellfish.
The food culture of eating fish from rivers and lakes is an important Japanese culture that has been around for a long time.

It seems that "Tokyo Fish Container Co., Ltd." has moved to Toyosu.

"Tsukiji Market" has moved to "Toyosu Market".
However, the "Tsukiji Outer Market" is doing its best in Tsukiji.
I would like to report on this situation separately.

Cooking

There is a thin, wide, flat-bottomed sukiyaki pot.
This is made by arranging cut green onions vertically and stabbed beef, maitake mushrooms, and shimeji mushrooms in the gaps.
Children enjoyed making it.

After this, add "Dashi", soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar and simmer.

It's sweet and a taste that kids love. It is delicious.

Saba-Shio

Cooking

The mackerel that has been salted and dried for one day is called "Saba-Shio".
The salt absorbs the water from the mackerel and reduces the water from the body.
By drying, the water content is further reduced and the taste is concentrated.

Bake this mackerel on a gas stove.

In Japan, mackerel is popular as a taste of the common people.

This is the Bonito Center in Harumi, Tokyo.
It is a building where wholesalers of dried bonito are gathered.
It is a light brown low building in the middle of the photo.

Surrounded by skyscrapers, it retains the atmosphere of Tokyo a little old.
