The store is called "Ochaya" but when you look around the store, you will find a lot of nori and kombu, in addition to tea. It has a great lineup that fits the market perfectly! I didn't have the courage to try them, but they sell very affordable kombu and nori. I purchased: ◆40g of Aosa Nori (560 yen) - It looks good and since it's domestically produced, there should be no problem with the quality. ◆300ml of Konbu Dashi (460 yen) - It was on sale at a cheap price. This type of product, made with natural kombu dashi, is perfect for dishes like oden. I have purchased it before but I didn't take notes so I forgot the taste. This store is also worth visiting.

It's a tea shop, but they also have coffee and a wide variety of dried foods like seaweed. I recently bought a lot of tea at home, so I decided to try something different this time. I bought Aosa seaweed (432 yen including tax), which is made from dried Hitoegusa from Mie Prefecture. I looked it up on Wikipedia and found out that it's a type of seaweed from the Hitoegusa genus in the Hibi Midoro order of the Aosa algae class. It's a bit confusing, but it tastes delicious, so it's okay. Just adding a little to miso soup gives it a nice seaweed aroma that makes it taste like a high-class dish. It seems like it would also be delicious mixed with tempura crumbs, so I'll try that next time. Oh! I'll make sure to buy some tea next time I visit "Tamazuien." Thank you for the delicious meal!

When it gets hot, the symptoms worsen, especially for this government-designated rare disease. As we enter December, the increased heating in hospitals and commercial facilities exacerbates the condition. Unfortunately, there is no medication that suits me yet. Likes and comments may be delayed, so thank you for your understanding. [December 2019] This is my fourth review, so I'll keep it light. Tamakure-en is a tea shop founded in 1933. The main store is located in the Odori area of Chuo Ward. They are known for their matcha ice cream "Yukime Parfait," which is popular on food review websites. The "Sapporo Asaichi" is a morning market run by wholesalers at the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market. The main customers are retail and food service establishments, especially those in the seafood industry. Even famous sushi restaurants come here for supplies. It's not a market frequented by the general public, but towards the end of the year, many people come to buy ingredients for New Year's. The market follows the same operating calendar as the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market. The operating hours are from 5 am to 11 am, with no parking for the general public until 9 am. During the year-end, a large parking lot is available nearby for general customers. The "Tamakure-en Central Wholesale Market Store" is located within this "Sapporo Asaichi." Since it's a morning market, they open at 5 am. Until 9 am, the deputy manager from the main store is usually present, then they return to the main store. After 9 am, staff from nearby stores handle customer inquiries. If you want detailed explanations about the products, it's best to visit before 9 am. The main store focuses on retail tea and ice cream, while this store caters to retail establishments. They mainly sell seaweed and tea for business use, as well as cigarettes. They offer various types of tea, including powdered tea for sushi restaurants, and large bags not found at the main store. They also have coffee and black tea tucked away in the back. The seaweed is mostly sold in packs of 100, which is uncommon in retail stores. Some seaweed packages are more consumer-friendly, but many are in bulk. I was advised by the deputy manager that "thick seaweed is for sushi" and "thin seaweed is for rice balls." Lately, we've been having hand-rolled sushi for dinner at home. This time, I bought the thick "Sushi Use High-Quality Seaweed Tokuyou." ■ Sushi Use High-Quality Seaweed Tokuyou 15 sheets The seaweed has a good gloss and a crispy texture. Price: 529 yen (tax included) (2018: 497 yen) (2015: 427 yen) It's mainly for business use, with large quantities at a low price. Professionals come here for their needs. Sushi rolls and hand-rolled sushi are always delicious. It's convenient to have them on hand during the New Year period. Despite being a wholesaler, Tamakure-en offers tasty seaweed at affordable prices. However, prices have gradually increased by about 25% compared to four years ago. I plan to visit again to buy sushi seaweed next time. Thank you for the delicious meal.

In January 2019, due to a virus causing my computer to malfunction, I have completed the migration process to a new desktop computer. It took me some time to migrate because it's my first time using Windows 10 and I was not feeling well. But now I have resumed liking and commenting. Thank you for your understanding. This is my second review, so I'll keep it brief. Tamasuien is a tea shop founded in 1933. The main store is located in the Odori area of Chuo Ward.

In January 2015, Tamashuen is a tea shop founded in 1933. The main store is located in the Odori area of Chuo Ward. Their matcha ice cream, typical of a tea shop, is popular on Tabelog. During the year-end shopping, many people visit the Maruka Wholesale Center, where sushi restaurants and fish markets come to buy wholesale goods.

It was priced at 427 yen. The bulk hojicha tea pack for hotel rooms contained 100 high-quality tea bags in aluminum packaging, priced at 700 yen. The branch mainly caters to wholesale customers, offering large quantities at affordable prices. The products meet the needs of various customers. The seaweed rolls are always delicious and convenient for snacking. Tamashuen is a great place to buy quality seaweed and tea at a reasonable price.

Welcome! In the central wholesale market in the Kuwanazono district of Chuo Ward, there is a Maru Fruit Center which hosts the Asahimachi Morning Market in Sapporo. No one who appears in the review has been to this market, and even locals may not know some of the things mentioned. With Mokutan-san, who knows things that even the market people don't know, you can feel at ease even if it's your second time in life! The main shop is located in Soseigawa East, a tea shop where they sell Hane seaweed and dried shiitake mushroom dashi stock. Looking at the seaweed, you might remember Harudannji and wonder which one is delicious. A lady pointed at a certain seaweed and said, "This is delicious!" so I ended up buying it, spending over 200 yen on seaweed for the first time. When I nodded in response to her question if I needed a bag, she gave me a receipt. The sushi seaweed from Ariake is produced by Yokotaya Honten in Kesennuma. When you open the bag, the delicate seaweed separates crisply like the sound of waves. I made a plum rice ball with it, but... it feels like the perfect time for grilled seaweed. The feeling changes in one bite or two, and the gloss and popping sound remain consistent when making sushi. This fragrant taste is something you can't get without paying a bit more. Sometimes, indulge in this luxury. Thank you for the meal. Oh, tea...
