Cooking Recipe -4(Gobou Kakiage)

Image
Sanuki Gobou Kakiage(Burdock Kakiage Tempura) This is Kakiage for Kake Udon. Only for Kake Udon Topping is Sanuki, it's better combination with Kake Udon, so it's not normal Kakiage Tempura, it needs to know this thing. For example, Ten-Kama(Kama Age Udon with Tempura), Ten-Zaru(Zaru Udon with Tempura), something Udon with Tempura, in this case Tempura is normal Tempura which you've tasted before.

Visiting Ramen Restaurant -2(Asahikawa)

Asahikawa(Kagawa Japan)         28th.Apr.2017 Kubara Marugame                                                         Captain J-MINO When I visited this Ramen restaurant first time, I was high school student. In those days, omner chef was famous "Henkotsu"(eccentric)and "Ganko"(obstinate). After 35years passed, now chef is changed. But now taste is quite same as old-time one. That's also Ramen history. Restaurant name is "Asahikawa". Asahikawa is one of famous Ramen brand in Hokkaido(Northan part of Japan). Is it concerned with Hokkaido ? I don't know, sorry. Taste ?     feel like a Asahikawa taste, I think may be. It's an  ODEN ! ! !      not Ramen ! Yes, here is Sanuki Kagawa, I told you. ODEN, again again and again ?        Yes, off course.(笑) This is Shio Ramen in this restaurant Asahikawa. I've been Asahikawa once, but I couldn't try any Ramen, but it might be Ashikawa taste, I think. Wh

醤油うどん(裏)

小懸うどんさん(裏)                                             三野大尉 久方振りに「小懸」さんで醤油うどん食べましたけど、オフィシャルの英語版では書けない、四方山話を少し。。。 その昔、今から45~6年前かな、、、私が小学生の頃、時々、小懸さんでうどん食べたりしてましたが、当時は今の場所ではなく、現在よりも400~500m位南の交差点のところに製麺所がありまして、そもそも製麺所なので、食べるうどん屋さんでは無いんですけど、ご近所さんがちょっと寄って、、みたいな食べるスペースが、机一つ、椅子が3つか4つあったか、、、、。 確か、、、醤油だけだと35円 ? だったか、、、薬味入れたりヤカンのお湯使ったりすると50円 ? だったか、、、よく覚えてないですが、価格としては2パターンあったような気がします。 今では香川県内のうどん屋さんで「醤油うどん」を注文すると、必ずダシ醤油がでてきますが、正直私の年代だと、醤油うどんにダシ醤油だと凄く違和感がありして、、「頼むから普通の醤油にしてくれ・・・」って思うんですが、世の中の皆さんは、たぶんこの味に慣れているのでしょうから、それはそれで良いんだと思いますが、、、香川県人で50歳以上の方はそう思う人が多いんじゃないかと思いますが、まぁ、これは良いとか悪いとかではないので、、。 小懸さんと言えば、元祖「醤油うどん」、家庭でも一番シンプルな食べ方だった醤油うどんを世に知らしめた小懸さんの功績は大きく評価されるべきものでしょうし、大根をすってネギや生姜などの薬味と一緒に食べるスタイルは小緒さんオリジナル、これが評判となって現在の香川スタイルの醤油うどんになったわけですからね。 その後、大根おろしは、ぶっかけとかにも入れるようになりポピュラーになりましたが、昔は大根おろしって入れなかったんですよね。なので当然、45年前の小懸さんのお店(製麺所)にもおいてませんでした。 で、当時はどうなってたのか ?  と言いますと、、、フォト無いし、、、巨匠三野大尉がデッサンを。 小学生か ! ま、絵の出来栄えはおいといて、、、製麺所の軒先というか入ったところに一つテーブルが置いてあって、その卓上はこんな感じになってまして、、、たしか炊事場というか水道もあったかな、
