This is a unique seaweed specialty store with several locations in Otaru City. They offer products with quirky names like "Blowfish Seaweed Tea" and even have a place called "Grandpa's Rest Area" where tired dads can take a break. The store's catchphrase is "Look in the mirror after seven days." Supposedly, eating seaweed for seven days will make you beautiful thanks to the iodine content in seaweed. Is it true? Who knows! The "Yudofu Seaweed" costs 1,380 yen and is harvested in the southern part of Hokkaido. It is young seaweed, softer and more suitable for cooking. It can be enjoyed in various ways like in hot tofu, simmered with daikon and chicken, stir-fried with vegetables, or simmered with fish. Our household always uses the seaweed from "Rishiriya Minoya." I'm scared of becoming even more beautiful thanks to the iodine effect... (*σvσ)

This month, the foodie trio ventured out of Sapporo and went on an expedition to Otaru~♪ "Rishiriya Minoya" near the canal is the shop that made me fall in love with Otaru. It is famous for its signs like "Look in the mirror after 7 days of eating!" and "Dad will take care of you." The kombu tea that the friendly lady offered because it was cold was delicious. Since then, it has become a must-visit shop whenever I go to Otaru. This time, I had given up hope, but there was a store on the 1st floor of Wing Bay Otaru!! When did it open?! *Kombu tea for boasting (780 yen) Just put one sheet in a tea cup and pour hot water to make delicious kombu tea. The leftover kombu is also tasty to eat♪ Once you try this, you won't be able to enjoy other kombu teas!! I hope that after 7 days, my skin will be glowing (lol) It seems to be good for ochazuke and onigiri too, so I plan to try it out ( ∩´∀｀)∩ There will be more Otaru reviews coming up!!
