Maruman Store, Bakurocho shop. Next to my favorite "mantendon" is a supermarket. It's a hassle to cross Edo Street. I looked it up at home and found out it used to be a butcher shop. It might have good beef... Information >> Maruman Meat Wholesaler & Direct Sales Founded in May 1950, the founder Yagimanji (current chairman) opened an 8-tatami mat butcher shop in Harajuku. Then in January 1952, it moved to Nakano, and in March 1962, the company was established (Maruman Livestock Food Co., Ltd.). "Retail meat" and "wholesale meat for business use" were the main pillars of the business, and they continued to open specialized meat shops. However, in the 1970s, they transitioned to supermarkets in line with the times. They continue with the meat wholesale business, supplying a wide range of customers such as hotels, ramen shops, school lunches, student dormitories, hospitals, and nursing facilities. I should check out the meat situation. I don't really have a chance to go to the other side of the street. Today, I came to see how the "Sase Village, Saga Prefecture, Fumoto Akadori Bakurocho shop" is doing after eating chicken. Lucky for me, the "yakiimo" that I like is here. I came to see the meat, and what luck. I got freshly baked yakiimo. I inspected the store inside. They have a variety of bento boxes, side dishes, sushi, etc. Oh, the first floor has deli, bread, etc. The meat is on the second floor. My friend got yakiimo. I'm looking for meat snacks. I found it after looking closely. It's a game-changer, black wagyu beef for shabu-shabu, 480 yen per 100g. Innovative pricing. Then, "Black Wagyu, Chuck Steak" 598 yen per 100g. What a great deal. I can make steak with this black wagyu. I decided right away. Let's each get our own snacks. My friend got yakiimo. It's too big, so he couldn't finish it all. I took half. I cooked the steak and it melted in my mouth. It had the perfect texture for someone like me who doesn't like meat much. It was delicious. Beef is cheap, and yakiimo is cheap too. The recent market survey finds that Sakata Supermarket is at 200 yen, Oozeki Supermarket in Asakusa is at 250 yen, and this one is big at 158 yen. Yakiimo and steak = [3.6], a great snack. It was good.

I recently stayed in Bakurocho during my Tokyo business trip, and I found it convenient for buying side dishes, fruits, yogurt, etc. This day, I bought "Sesame-flavored Zasai Chicken" as a side dish, as I had bought fried rice from another store. The dish had plenty of plump chicken thigh meat, zasai, and green onions, providing a satisfying meal. The price of 225 yen including tax was also appreciated. I will definitely visit again!
