Since my wife was working during lunch, I bought some nigiri sushi for myself. 11 pieces for ¥598 - it's affordable and delicious sushi. It was a bit late for lunch after finishing the big cleaning due to heavy snow outside. Soba and fried food go really well together. This time, I bought kakiage (mixed vegetable tempura) and shoga (ginger) tempura. I enjoyed them with New Year's Eve soba at night. The tempura was delicious and satisfying.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/

Maritozzo is a specialty from Rome, Italy, made with brioche dough filled with plenty of cream. It's like a variation of cream bread, with a taste that can be easily imagined just by looking at it. Let's take a look at some popular places to try it out. Maritozzo Days Part 23: Let's try it in Kyoto, at "Super Matsumoto Gojo Store" (Kyoto, Tanbaguchi). Maritozzo for 198 yen (excluding tax).

Mr. Matsumoto's delicious mackerel sushi in Kyoto is famous, but I was surprised by the high quality even at the supermarket. I went to Matsumoto's and bought a futomaki sushi with mackerel sushi and pickled mackerel wrapped in high-quality pickles. As always, I was satisfied with the high-quality mackerel sushi, and the futomaki sushi was delicious too, and most importantly, at a reasonable price! It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Expanding from the west, Supermarket Matsumoto now has 19 stores in and around Kyoto city. I often visit the Gojo store in particular. Like other stores in the chain, I tend to overshop at the well-stocked deli and fresh fish section, and there's a high chance of running into neighbors throughout the store, so it's important to be careful not to overbuy in the sale section or squeeze fruits and vegetables unnecessarily. There is an eat-in space on the west side of the first floor. Many people eat the bento they bought right away. The spacious parking lot is perfect for a siesta. If your phone is off, you can easily slip into a daydream for about an hour. Today, I bought several types of deli dishes and ate them at home. Some of them were slightly too strong in flavor, but we shared them little by little and enjoyed them very much. Supermarket Matsumoto Gojo store is a place of relaxation for salesmen, a friend to busy housewives, and a welcoming place for everyone, serving as a sanctuary for local residents.

Super Matsumoto, headquartered in Kameoka City! I used to use it a lot when I went to the northwest of Kyoto Prefecture, but now there are many stores in Kyoto City as well. I often use the Gojo store. I also often use the Uzumasa store, where the vegetables are recommended! They are fresh and cheap, with a wide variety. The seafood department is also recommended! They have a variety of live fish and salted fish. Oysters are often available at this time, but lately I haven't seen them much. The oysters from Sakoshi were a boom for me for a while! Although it's not seafood, the nigiri sushi is especially delicious and recommended. There is also nigiri sushi in the deli section, but I always end up buying the nigiri sushi from the seafood department because of its freshness, appearance, and taste! The seafood bowl-style scattered sushi is also recommended! The ingredients are fresh and the portion is generous! It's delicious! I recommend it for your daily shopping.

Super Matsumoto's beef croquettes are well-known. There are 18 stores in Kyoto Prefecture. They are usually found in the deli section, and some people buy them in bulk, like 10 or 20 at a time, because they are cheap. Sometimes they go on sale for as low as 29 yen. However, the Enbu store in Nantan City sells them for just 18 yen every day. This price war started when a supermarket called Fresh Bazaar opened nearby. On days with a 10% discount, the price goes even lower. Even if you buy 5, it doesn't reach 100 yen. They are versatile, good as a side dish with rice, as a snack, or even sandwiched between slices of bread. Thursdays with 30% off bread and Tuesdays with eggs for 98 yen are also good days to visit.

There are homemade side dishes such as okonomiyaki, inari sushi, and salad rolls. When I'm nearby, I always stop by because they are delicious! (ˊ˘ˋ*)
