Izakaya Shin 5. Micchan Sohonten Hatchobori Main Store   1. Soba restaurant “Tonbo” While sightseeing in Miyajima, I had lunch at Soba restaurant “Tonbo”. At first, I was thinking of eating while walking after buying fried Momiji Manju (sweet bun) at Soba restaurant “Tonbo”. However, it took a long time to make the fried Momiji Manju, so I decided to eat soba at Tonbo as well. I had fried Momiji Manju for the first time, but it was hot and delicious. By the way, the next day I bought raw Momiji Manju at Hiroshima Station and ate it at the hotel. In conclusion, I found that I like the traditional and ordinary Momiji Manju the most. However, I think that both the fried Momiji Manju and the raw Momiji Manju were good experiences. At Soba restaurant “Tonbo”, I ordered “Conger eel tempura soba,” “Mini Anago-meshi,” and “Steamed oysters” in addition to the fried Momiji Manju. “Conger eel tempura soba” was delicious, but it wasn’t so impressive. However, I wasread moreMarch itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Hiroshima Meal edition)

Seafood in season in Nov (4th place Miyagi)   Table of contents Introduction Fish Other seafood PRIDE FISH   Introduction Miyagi Prefecture (6 types of seafood) was ranked 4th in the prefectures with the highest catches and types of seafood that will be in season in November. In Miyagi prefecture, the following 6 types of fish and shellfish will be in season in November.   Fish conger eel, broadbanded thornyhead, salmon, flounder, tuna Other seafood laver     PRIDE FISH “Oysters with shells of Miyagi” (season: November-March) has been selected for the winter “PRIDE FISH” in Miyagi Prefecture, which is selected by Japan Fisheries Cooperatives. It is also characteristic that there are various types of oysters because the oyster farming technique changes depending on the difference in each coast. Miyagi prefecture oysters are closely related to French oysters. In France, the plague threatened the annihilation of domestic oysters in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, oysters from Miyagi prefecture, which are resistant to diseases, were provided, and the French oyster aquaculture industry was saved. Today, about 90% of French oysters are said to be descendants of Miyagi prefecture’s seed oysters. Due to these historical connections, France provided reconstruction assistanceread moreSeafood in season in Nov (4th place Miyagi)
