"Yamashin Shokusan," famous for its "Edo Kyuju Mochi" and the pink factory in Funabori, is well-known. Their store is only located within the factory's special sales area, but this time, they have a special sales location at Funabori Station. What they are selling is "Kuromitsu Bucho's Special Kuromitsu." Last year, Kuromitsu Bucho (nickname) working at "Yamashin Shokusan" received the Technical Achievement Award at the Edogawa Ward Industrial Awards. It is said that one person is honored each year from among 200,000 technicians working in Edogawa Ward's manufacturing industry, and this is the first time someone from the food manufacturing industry has been recognized. Kuromitsu Bucho's special kuromitsu, made with all their efforts, is being sold at a special price for Edogawa Ward residents. Of course, I have to buy it (laughs)! The kuromitsu in Kuma-san's bottle is sold in 300g for ¥500. Naturally, I will also buy "Edo Kyuju Mochi," but this Kyuju Mochi is completely different from Kansai's "Kuzumochi." It is made by repeatedly fermenting wheat starch for nearly two years and then soaking it in water for an additional week to precipitate. The unique aroma and subtle sourness are the characteristics of Tokyo's Kyuju Mochi, and some people either love it or hate it, right? Well, as for the essential kuromitsu, it's safe for anyone to eat (laughs)! It seems you can also buy it on Rakuten, so I hope local food manufacturing businesses do well. Of course, I'll support them!
