He is a handsome master craftsman. He trained in Germany for 6 years and obtained the official title of master. I purchased a variety pack for 4000 yen plus tax. Each item is well-made and reliable. There is a wide variety so it doesn't get boring. I even tried pairing the duck roast with soba noodles. The white roast was cooked slowly and served as a luxurious ham and egg breakfast. Maybe I could try something a bit more adventurous next time, but overall, I had enough for about 10 meals. Thank you for the delicious food.

Accompanying someone on a shopping trip to the department store basement, I found myself drawn to fried foods and snacks for some reason. Am I the only one who does this? Then I saw a sign that caught my eye - "Meister" in katakana, which made me think of "Germany" and "beer" in a simple way (lol)! Should I boil it or bake it? I debated, but considering the thin casing, I decided to bake it in the toaster oven. Ding! The beautifully cracked surface enticed me. Psssh! Kchigbic! Ready to eat. I took a bite, enjoying the satisfying crunch of the casing breaking and the juicy meat bursting out. Delicious! The smooth minced meat, not too salty or bland, was just right. I couldn't help but agree with the "Meister" sign. I ate it with grainy mustard this time, but I think French mustard would be even better. Thank you for the meal.

Located in the Depachika (department store basement) of Ikebukuro's East Exit, is the shop of Fleischer Meister. After finding out that they had a branch in Tokyo when I acquired their products from a different region, I decided to visit Ikebukuro and purchased a takeout from the East Exit. After doing some research on Tabelog, I decided to try the "Assorted Cut Pack," which ranged from 480 yen to 980 yen. I had a hard time choosing, but ended up getting the "Smoked Ham Loin" for 900 yen and the "Smoked Shoulder Loin with Rock Salt" for 660 yen, totaling 993 yen excluding tax. I paid with a cashless payment method, and without asking, they put the items in a poly bag with a cooling pack inside my own reusable bag. I took the Yamanote Line back home, and for dinner, I enjoyed the products. The taste of the Meister was as I remembered, very rich and flavorful. Since it was an assorted cut pack, I was able to enjoy various parts of the meat.

For the celebration of BABY2's first Hina Matsuri, I chose a gift from a catalog, which was a set of "Charcoal-grilled Pork" from "Meister Yamanoi"! I wanted to order it earlier, but I decided to have it arrive around the time my eldest daughter visits. This set includes "Black Pork Charcoal-grilled Miso-marinated Pork", "Black Pork Charcoal-grilled Pork", "Yamanoi Charcoal-grilled Pork with Soy Sauce", "Yamanoi Charcoal-grilled Pork with Miso", and "Smoked Duck Breast", five varieties in total. It looks luxurious just by looking at it, which already gets me excited. The CEO, Shinji Yamanoi, trained in Germany for five years, obtained the German national artisan qualification "Geselle", and also acquired the German national qualification "Meister" in meat processing. This led to the creation of the brand "Meister Yamanoi" that combines Japanese and Western culinary cultures. I first tried the "Smoked Duck Breast"! When cut, you can see a beautiful pink cross-section. The deliciousness of the duck's fatty part and the smoothness of the red meat harmonize in the mouth, with the smoky flavor adding an accent, leaving a lingering deliciousness. The "Black Pork Charcoal-grilled Pork" series marinates pork leg meat carefully in sauce and grills it over charcoal. It was best to eat it as it is, just sliced. The "Yamanoi Charcoal-grilled Pork" is marinated in Yamanoi's traditional sauce and grilled over charcoal. While it is delicious as it is, cutting it into cubes and making a luxurious fried rice with it was really delicious, and even my child enjoyed it. Since such a luxurious and delicious pork will not be available for a while, I plan to savor the rest slowly.

900 yen + 720 yen = 990 yen. That's it! (laughs) The taste and quality are the same, but the presentation is a bit... I'm drawn to these kinds of things for some reason, I just like it. First of all, it's generally cheap. Even at Tobu's depachika, places like "Uo Hisa" have cut-offs that attract long lines during sales. But not only at popular stores, if you carefully look around, you can find hidden gems. This time, it's "Meister Yamanoi" at Seibu Ikebukuro's depachika. In Seibu's depachika, there are various ham shops from "Takeda Ham" to "Kaiser Ham" on the B1 and B2 floors. While I'm not particularly knowledgeable, when I tried to buy ham for a specific purpose, I had a difficult time comparing the various options. Especially for personal use, cost performance is important. In that regard, I was drawn to the cut-off series at this store. In that corner, cut-offs ranging from 450 yen to 900 yen were lined up. On that day's special sale(?), "2 for 990 yen" (excluding tax). You'd pick the more expensive ones, right? (laughs) "Smoked Prosciutto Loaf Cut-off Pack" (777 yen) - As shown in the photo. The cut-offs of prosciutto are packed in this pack. The super thin slices of prosciutto weigh 172g, so when laid out, it would cover quite a large area. At first, I peeled off and ate each slice, but halfway through, I started eating them in chunks. The smoked flavor is strong, leaving a lingering smoky aroma. The saltiness is moderate, but the quality of the meat makes it not too noticeable, and there's not much dryness in the throat after eating. "Char Siu Loaf Cut-off Pack" (972 yen) - As shown in the photo. This is basically just char siu. Whether eaten together or separately, char siu is char siu. The fat has a subtle and subdued feel, more about elegance than strength. The original sauce is there, but I also tried the special sauce, which adds a bit more intensity. It has a refined taste. Thank you for the meal. (By Kyanatsu Shuusora, 2020.12.2) (2 reviews/3.04)
