A specialty shop for take-out of fresh ham is unexpectedly located next to a beauty salon! It is recommended to eat the freshly sliced ham right away! The presence of cheese is also delightful, and the ham is absolutely delicious and makes you want to eat more!

The thickness of the slices varies depending on the takeout time. Extremely thin slices are only available if consumed within one hour. I will eat it right away. ■ Cratello di Jibello: When you take a bite of a slice, it quickly melts in your mouth, leaving a very high-quality flavor without being too heavy. The true value of this can be experienced when you take a mouthful of extremely thin slices. The flavor melts like foam, enveloping your mouth. This is pure bliss. ■ Giovanni Bazza's Sopressa: The balance of meaty richness, saltiness, and melt-in-your-mouth texture is best when you eat a single slice. ■ Giovanni Bazza's Coppa: The balance of melt-in-your-mouth texture and meaty richness is somewhere between Cratello and Sopressa. ■ Salame del Po: A salami with a fragrant aroma. It adds a touch of sensuality to the experience. ■ Salame Tartufo: A salami made with black truffles. The flavor that makes you burst into laughter with a single bite. Starting with Cratello and moving counterclockwise, this eating order happened to be very good. ■ Panino Nero: Prosciutto, Gorgonzola, and roasted eggplant. Compared to the French Jambon Beurre I had earlier, this combination is quite interesting. While the French focuses on a balanced blend of flavors, the Italian approach values the distinctiveness of each ingredient. ★ Today's best!! "Eating a combination of Cratello slices"

☆You can also sample the freshly sliced thin prosciutto with a melting texture and flavor that will leave you impressed on the spot☆The best flavor comes from freshly sliced, thinly cut prosciutto. That's why it's recommended to eat it within 60 minutes of purchase to fully enjoy its taste☆There are various types of sandwiches and drinks available, although the selection is not extensive☆It seems that the neighboring beauty salon has recently opened, which gives the interior a stylish feel☆★I purchased prosciutto by weight, but since it is sliced and weighed on the spot, there may be some margin of error. I bought several types and couldn't determine the price of each until I got home. For those on a budget, it's recommended to go for fixed portions or sandwiches☆★It's best to bring cash for payment as I noticed the shop while passing by. I decided to splurge on expensive prosciutto. It was pricier than good quality beef, but the depth of flavor and strong aroma from the long aging process was overwhelming. The sample of thinly sliced prosciutto was surprisingly delicious. I will definitely make sure to eat it within 60 minutes next time. There was a poster of Salumeria 69 displayed, which showed their dedication. Personally, I would like to pair it with figs if served with fruit. I am also tempted to try some high-quality honey like black honey princess to complement the flavor of this prosciutto. It seems like this prosciutto would taste delicious on rice, similar to a certain dish at a restaurant. In Japan, dishes with strong flavors like mentaiko go well with rice. This prosciutto seems to fit that description. On this day, I purchased Verdiarne Craccha Prosciutto Di Parma and truffle salami. They were carefully wrapped in thin plastic wrap. They accommodated my request to package it according to when I would eat it. I informed them it would take more than 60 minutes before eating, so they couldn't slice it as thinly as possible, but it was still very delicious. It was so delicious that I devoured it quickly. The truffle salami had a good flavor and aroma, although the prosciutto was more impressive. The flavor and aroma were strong, and the absence of additives may have contributed to the overall good taste. It's a completely different experience compared to cheap supermarket prosciutto. I definitely want to try their sandwiches next time, and if the state of emergency due to COVID-19 is lifted, I would love to enjoy some wine there as well (there seemed to be a simple stand counter). Highly recommended Salumeria! ☆

In front of Honshoji Temple, there is a ham specialty store that opened last year. They offer takeout ham and during lunchtime, you can enjoy authentic panini sandwiches with ham. The store is run by a beautiful lady next to her husband's hair salon. This was my second visit. I pre-ordered the takeout ham for pickup in the evening and bought a panini for lunch. The Panini Jallo costs 800 yen and includes ham, salami, arugula, and scrambled eggs. It is crispy and chewy, with the flavors of authentic Parma ham and salami. The ham has a good amount of fat that melts in your mouth, infusing the bread with flavor. The takeout set costs 5,000 yen, but I got it for 4,000 yen this time. It included "duck ham" and "fat." The duck ham is from Castan, a French company in the southwest, made from ducks raised for foie gras. The "fat" is a ham made from lard from Tuscany, with a rich aroma and excellent melt-in-your-mouth texture. The set also includes Parma ham, black truffle salami, and other luxurious items at a great price. Perfect for online drinking parties at home during the pandemic!

[Tokyo, Chuo-ku] [Number of visits: 2 times] August 24, 2020 (Monday) A ham specialty store located northwest of Tsukiji Honganji Temple. The location is... South-east from Chuo Ward Office, and northwest from Tsukiji Outer Market and Honganji Temple. A 1-minute walk from Metro Tsukiji Station A4, and a 5-minute walk from Metro Shintomicho Station (Exit 1EV). Closed on Thursdays. Located in a residential area northeast of Ginza, and it seems possible to walk from Higashi-Ginza Station. Takeout only. On Sundays at 7 pm, if it's your first visit, the store is packed with customers waiting for ham. It is evident that they have established themselves in the neighborhood and gained regular customers within half a year of opening. The owner also runs a beauty salon in the back, which operates by appointment only. It seems that the owner's hobby led to the opening of a ham specialty store. The female staff is very friendly and polite. I became a fan after just one visit (laughs). Some of the items in stock include... [Sandwich] Panino [Ham] Assorted ham [Others] Ham-based side dishes (limited quantity), original pasta sauce with ham, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tea, etc. The ham and salami assortment starts from ¥2000, and they can make it for just one person. It is best to visit 30-60 minutes before actually eating. If it takes more than 60 minutes to eat, the method of serving changes to maintain quality, and the original taste is lost. You can choose from 4 types of bread for the Panino (ham sandwich). For the filling, you can choose "Single" with just ham or "Double" with ham and salami. There is also a "Triple" with extra ham, and a cheese topping option. They also have selected wines that pair well with ham displayed in-store. Payment is cash only. -------------------------------------------------- ■ Panino A (Double ¥800) * Reduced tax included at 8% Since the ham is cut and made after ordering, the freshness is clearly different from typical bakeries. It is ready in 6-7 minutes after ordering. When taken out of the paper bag, the ham's fat melts and sparkles at room temperature... This sparkling sensation far exceeds expectations. It is understandable that it is necessary to eat within 60 minutes. The white and soft bread is filled with plenty of thinly sliced ham and salami overflowing, along with arugula. Since ham is a fermented food, you can also sense a slightly cheesy aroma. When you take a bite, the complex umami and acidity of the ham, along with the "sweetness of the bread," create a wonderful harmony. The arugula, which absorbs the umami and has a soft texture, also plays a good supporting role with its greenish scent. The compatibility with red wine is truly excellent. The "slightly sweet bread" acts as a bridge between the ham and red wine flavors, enhancing their compatibility. -------------------------------------------------- ■ Ham Assortment of 2 types and 5 varieties (¥3000) In other words, an assortment of 2 types of ham and 3 types of salami. A total volume of just over 100g. The ham is thinly sliced to improve the texture, so it loses moisture over time. Therefore, it is recommended to eat within 30 minutes of purchase. ◎ Prosciutto di Parma A world-famous ham among the top three in the world. Originating from Parma in northern Italy. This is the classic ham. It has a very soft texture with a mellow umami that spreads in the mouth. Since it is sliced very thinly, the fat is not overpowering at all. ◎ Verdiane Cratcha A 12-month aged Cratcha (Cratta) is a ham made from the upper part of the pork leg, close to the buttocks. It has a mild saltiness and is tender. Truly the buttocks! ◎ Coppa di Parma This uses the shoulder loin. As you can see, it is lean with little fat, making it light. You can also sense a hint of spice. ◎ Salame Tartufo This is a salami with chopped black truffles added. The raw salami, where the umami is concentrated, is excellent! Even I, who is not sensitive to scents, can recognize the aroma of truffles. And it has a very milky flavor. Among the ones I tried, this was my favorite! ◎ Pancetta This is ham made from pork belly, familiar to Japanese people as bacon.

The friendly owner is very helpful with various recommendations. I bought duck prosciutto (Magret de Canard Fumé), black truffle salami (Salame Tartufo), and regular prosciutto (Cracchi). The duck prosciutto had a sweet flavor and was very delicious. However, my friend, who I shared it with, didn't eat much because they found it too sweet, so it may not be suitable for those who prefer a salty taste in their prosciutto. The black truffle salami had a strong aroma. I would like to try the assorted platter next time.

A takeout specialty ham shop. The sandwiches are mainly ham, but it would be nice to have a little more vegetables.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. I purchased without a reservation, but there was a line forming afterwards, so it might be better to make a reservation. The highlight is that they slice the ham and salami on the spot, so you can enjoy the moist and fluffy texture. Everything tasted good and was of high quality. The 3,000 yen assortment I bought was for two people. They sliced it on the spot, and I received it in about 5 minutes. The Culatello was moist, tender, flavorful, and had a luxurious taste. The Coppa, which I don't usually prefer, was not too tough, moist, and had a nice amount of fat, changing my perception of Coppa. The salami, although the same as last time, had that same moist and fluffy texture that is just so good. A shop specializing in ham and salami, and slicing it on the spot, is truly rare and valuable.

Salmi Land Tokyo @ Tsukiji - A specialty store for panini and prosciutto, with a beauty salon in the back. We ordered both with extra prosciutto. Panino Rosso ★ The most popular item! It contains prosciutto, tomato, camembert cheese, and arugula. The scent of truffle oil is very nice, and the camembert cheese is delicious without being overpowering! The bread was also light. Panino Verde ★ It contains prosciutto, tomato, capers, and arugula, and was a bit refreshing! It's great to be able to enjoy prosciutto like this in a casual setting.

Visited a home bar in Ginza with the intention of bringing my own drinks. Arrived at 19:20 with 2 groups ahead of me. The owner runs the place as a hobby, so he cuts and packs the ham very carefully, which takes about 30 minutes before entering. I bought 50g each of ① Lardo (ham made from pork fat) and ② Salami. I requested the salami to be sliced very thinly since it should be eaten within 30 minutes of purchase. The bill came to around 3,500 yen. We toasted with champagne to celebrate the home bar's 1st anniversary. ①: The melting texture and delicate sweetness of the fat were addictive. ②: This seems to be the most expensive salami. I enjoyed the different flavors with the three levels of thickness cuts, just like last time. Although the owner's main job is in a hair salon, it's interesting to see him running this unique place as a hobby. I wonder which one is more profitable? Very curious.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Although the prices are a bit high, you can enjoy high-quality freshly sliced prosciutto and salami. They have a strong commitment to cutting and packaging based on when you plan to eat the items. The shop specializes in takeout, offering a variety of prosciutto, salami, and cheese. Depending on when you plan to eat, they will adjust the cutting and packaging accordingly. The shop is located between Shin-Tomicho and Tsukiji, a bit of a walk from the station. They are open even during the New Year holidays. I tried the 3,000 yen assorted platter, which included 6 types of prosciutto and salami. The prosciutto was moist, tender, flavorful, and slightly sweet, with a good melt-in-your-mouth fat content. The salami was also delicious, with a smoked aroma and a variety of flavors. Overall, it was a high-quality and tasty experience, worth the price.

I finally got to visit a restaurant I had bookmarked for a while. Last time I tried to go, they were closed (can you believe they were closed on a day when many people get paid, even though it's a weekday?). This time, I called ahead before going. When I walked in, a female staff member asked me, "Panini or ham?" I chose ham, and then she asked, "How long until you take it home?" I replied, "About 1 hour?" and she said they would cut it into 50g portions. Since I wanted to try a variety of things and the à la carte menu was a bit pricey, I opted for the 2,500 yen chef's selection platter. I made it home just in time, and I tried to open the wine I bought from Vinos Yamazaki, but I couldn't get the cork out ( ；∀；). I'll have to buy a wine opener tomorrow, so I settled for a dark beer instead. It was delicious!! It would have been even better if the female staff member had been a bit more friendly.

The shop is located between Shintomi-cho Station and Tsukiji Station, and it used to be a beauty salon before the owner's hobby led them to start offering ham as well. The ham is cut in three different thicknesses depending on when you plan to eat it after purchase: within 45 minutes, on the same day, or the next day. The thinnest cut is within 45 minutes. The slicer used is a specially ordered colored "thing." I purchased the following, all 50g each: ① 3000 yen: Culatello di Zibello (ham) 130 yen: butter for ① ② 900 yen: Lardo in Conca Colonnata (fatty ham) ③ 1150 yen: Bazza Soppressa (salami) ④ 1300 yen: Panino Rosso: Single 7000 yen: total bill (3500 yen per person). Here are my thoughts on the food: - It was a very reasonable and enjoyable experience. I got quite drunk but... - ①: This ham from the "Zibello Village," known as the king of hams, was a gem made in Kyoto last year. It can be enjoyed twice by mixing it with French butter. - ②: An outstanding item, possibly even more valuable than ①. The flavor when the pork lard ham melts in your mouth is exquisite. - ③: The owner cut it into three thicknesses, allowing for an interesting experience of different flavors and textures. - ④: A sandwich with ham, Camembert, tomato, and arugula with truffle oil flavor. The ham and cheese are top-notch, and one sandwich provides a satisfying lunch portion at a surprisingly reasonable price. I plan to enjoy it again with a bring-your-own plan next time.

I had been curious about a prosciutto shop in Shin-Tomi-cho for a long time. Prosciutto changes its taste rapidly once it is cut, right? When you put a thin slice in your mouth, it just melts away, and it's really delicious. But because it's thin, it is easily affected by temperature and air. The aroma disappears quickly once it's cut, and if left at room temperature, the fat melts. So you have to eat it as soon as it's cut! Or at least within 60 minutes! I totally understand this. But, but... due to the situation with COVID-19, there is no eat-in option here. As someone living in Saitama, it's really difficult. I was so envious of those who live nearby. I couldn't resist any longer and ended up buying a Panino! I ordered the Rosa Fig and Gorgonzola Panino. I rushed back home, panting. It took a bit longer than 60 minutes, but I was ready in 2 minutes after opening the door. I washed my hands, rinsed my mouth, transferred it to a plate, and took a big bite. Then I leisurely uncorked the wine. Ah... it's so good. The high brightness of the aroma of the prosciutto. The long-lasting umami flavor. The gentle aroma and sweetness of the fig that doesn't disturb the prosciutto's aroma. The complexity and richness of the Gorgonzola. The bread might be a little weak, but I closed my eyes and savored the feeling of happiness. Prosciutto is truly a bundle of happiness. I'm satisfied after trying the delicious Panino from the shop I had been curious about. But still, I want to eat freshly cut prosciutto itself. I hope the day comes soon when the eat-in option reopens after COVID, and I can enjoy freshly cut prosciutto with wine at the shop. Ah... I'm still envious of the neighbors...

A friend recommended this place in the area. They slice fresh ham on the spot and offer it for sale by weight, as well as in sandwiches. There are about three classic options available. You can eat in or take out. There is also a beauty salon in the same building. I don't usually eat sandwiches, but the homemade sandwich was delicious!

I had been curious about this shop for a while. On this day, I visited to buy some prosciutto for a gathering I was attending. They slice the meat from a whole piece right there, and I was happy to be able to taste a little bit. I ended up taking home a 24-month aged prosciutto and a 12-month aged culatello. The culatello, made from the pig's rear, was moist and melted in my mouth, very delicious. The prosciutto had a stronger saltiness, but the sweetness of the meat was also enjoyable. It was delicious on its own, but when paired with peach and cream cheese, or potato salad, it was a whole new level of deliciousness. I heard it also goes well with ochazuke or fried rice, so I'd like to try that next time. Please note that they only accept cash payments.

For our at-home dining experience, this time we had a 3,000 yen set. It included one type of prosciutto, three types of salami, and five types of lard. - Prosciutto di Parma: A traditional 30-month aged prosciutto, different from the 24-month aged one we had last time. - Coppa by Giovanni Bazza: Salami from the ancient recipe of Rome's renowned salami shop "Rosignoli," resembling both in appearance and taste to prosciutto. - Salame Finocchiona: A popular salami with a refreshing aroma of herb fennel mixed in. - Salame Tartufo: A luxurious salami with black truffle, said to be the most popular at the shop. - Lardo in Conca Colonnata: Making a reappearance from last time, this lard made from pork is uniquely delicious.

This area used to be a place I frequented often, but a new beauty salon with a new shop attached has opened. It was my first time using it. This was last year, so it's not really new anymore... The shop attached to the beauty salon is said to have started from a hobby. The showcase displays delicious looking prosciutto, salami, pancetta, etc. You can choose from two types of bread for the panini. I ordered the Panino Verde. It takes about 5-6 minutes. The slicer is really cool! I heard it's a Ferrari slicer. The posters displayed in the shop are also cool. It's not a prominent location, but it's right near the station. Next time, I want to buy a mixed platter and have it with red wine.

The owner of a beauty salon opened a specialty store for prosciutto ham as a hobby. The store also operates a beauty salon, with a reservation-only zone in the back. I tried their prosciutto ham takeout, which offers a variety of options starting from ¥2000 for a platter. They will make a platter for one person based on your budget, with a wide selection of choices. It is recommended to pick up the order 30-60 minutes before eating. The freshly sliced prosciutto ham is exceptional! I wish I lived closer so I could visit this place more often.

I visited a shop near Shintomicho Station and Tsukiji Station during lunchtime. It is located just off Shiodome Street to the northwest. As soon as you enter the shop, there is a passage to the left, leading to what appears to be a beauty salon. I wonder if they are both run by the same owner. Upon entering, there is a menu to the right where you can make your selection. I purchased the Panino Rosa for 900 yen and added a double of Prosciutto and recommended Salami for an additional 100 yen. The sandwich used Parma ham and Milano salami that day. There are four types of Panini available, ranging from 700 to 900 yen. They also sell Prosciutto, ham, and other items by weight. The sandwich was made in about 5 minutes. Although the shop is small, there are counter seats available. I decided to take the sandwich to go and found it to be of high quality. The bread was easy to eat and satisfying. It seems like they make each sandwich individually, so there may be a wait if a few customers come during lunchtime. Thank you for the meal.
