Handa, Aichi, Japan｜Yamazen

Bluefin tuna is the best. It's worth more than the price. The green onion is also more delicious than I expected. For more side dishes, there is a fried food shop next door. There are many types of tuna cutlets and they are perfect as a side dish. The store staff was also kind and I look forward to visiting you again.

First visit to a famous tuna specialty store. It was empty when I visited around 2 o'clock on weekdays. We had the tuna platter, the Yamazen set, and the chopped off. It was as advertised, fresh and delicious. If you buy it at the supermarket, will it double? I nodded at the high evaluation. The clerk was kind and nice. We also had dried noodles on tuna day. It's a little far away, but I'd like to visit again.

Written in October 2023. My father used to visit this place often when buying sashimi. Lately, I've been coming here just to buy some, and they sell a variety of other products besides fresh and delicious tuna sashimi. For example, we sell swordfish fillets that are delicious when cooked in pickled rice bowl sauce or boiled, and various types of fried fish. There is a store outside the store that specializes in fried food, and on Saturdays and Sundays, the fried food will be fried after you order it, so you can buy it freshly fried. Among them, I've recently been recommending fried shrimp. The large, plump fried shrimp tastes like the fried shrimp you get in a catered lunch box, probably because they're open for catering, and for some reason it's still delicious even when it's cold. I live far away from home, so even if I buy something piping hot, it ends up cooling down to a certain extent, but it's still delicious even when it's cold, so I imagine it would be even better if it was piping hot and freshly fried. Also, the price is currently 180 yen (tax included) per bottle, which is much cheaper than eating at a restaurant, and considering the time and effort it takes to prepare, cook, and clean up just for that purpose at home, I feel it's well worth it. Other supermarkets also sell fried shrimp in the delicatessen section, but the shrimp may be smaller and the coating may be thicker, so some places may be smaller and more expensive than here. Of course, tastes vary from person to person, but if you've never had it before, I highly recommend you give it a try. I'm planning to leave my hometown and live further away, so it's a shame that I won't be able to use this store anymore. P.S., I'm not good at uploading photos, so if you're a fan of fried shrimp, please send me some photos of delicious-looking fried shrimp.
