Last weekend I visited Himaka Island in Aichi Prefecture with a friend. It’s about an hour drive from Nagoya and you can reach Himaka Island in about 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Morozaki Port.
It is close to Nagoya, so it is an enjoyable one-day trip, and I felt like I had taken a trip even though I was within the prefecture.

I bought some “Himaka Island Island Seaweed” as a souvenir for my family. “Himaka Island Island Seaweed” is a seaweed sold by the Himaka Island Fishery Cooperative Association, and its package is a registered trademark (Japanese Trademark Registration No. 4481826).

I would like to visit the island again in a different season, as it is close to Nagoya and fresh seafood can be enjoyed all year round. (Rabbit)

In June, I participated in the staff and family trip for the first time in four years at Hotel Indigo Inuyama Uraku-en, and enjoyed a dinner and a stay at the hotel for a long time.
The next day, I wanted to stop by Inuyama Castle Town to eat and walk around, but it was a very hot and humid day, so I gave up. As I was thinking of buying something tasty to take home, I noticed that many people I passed on the road were carrying the same paper bag. I searched for “COCOTOMO BAUM” written on the paper bag, which had a colorful and impressive design, and found that it was a baumkuchen from a store called “COCOTOMO FARM” located near the entrance of Inuyama Castle.

The Inuyama Castle San-no-maru store we stopped by had a well-designed interior with white as its base color, a baumkuchen display, and a drink store, where we could sample the baumkuchen and enjoy free tea, making it a perfect place to stop by for a break.

According to the booklet that came with the baum and their website, “Cocotomo Farm” is a rice farmer in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, and they produce and sell their signature product, “Cocotomo Baum,” a gluten-free baumkuchen made of 100% homemade rice flour. The president of the company, who himself has a developmental disability in the gray zone, is promoting various initiatives to increase the number of places where people with disabilities can work by making the most of their characteristics, developing their abilities in the right places, and aiming for economic independence.
I came across this store by chance, but knowing that there is such a company in my hometown Aichi Prefecture made me want to buy a baum and support them.

The “COCOTOMO BAUM” and “COCOTOMO FARM” designs on the paper bag and booklet are registered trademarks.

The white rice soft baum I bought for home was very tasty, moist and gentle. I would like to try the brown rice hard baum next. It will keep for a long time at room temperature, so it will be good for a small souvenir. (Cacao)

At this time of year, outdoor recreation requires protection against heat stroke.
Drugstores sell a variety of cold products.
Derived from sweat wipes, there are also face sheets and body sheets that feel cool, and even larger ones are sold under the product name of “towels”.
Each product has its own unique flavor, with a different product name or package illustration to appeal to the consumer’s eye in order to make them feel the coolness more.

For your reference, here is a picture of a product called “Gokkan Towel” with a cute illustration.

This summer is said to be hotter than last year, and we should take measures against heat stroke by making good use of such sheets. (Time)

In summer, I have an urge to eat something that is spicy. We stock ” Karakara Fish Ramen (Karakarauo) ” cup ramen at our house so that we can eat it whenever we want.

The word ” Karakarauo ” comes from the menu name ” Karakarauo Ramen,” which is the name of the ramen shop “Mendokoro Inosho” located in Tokyo,Japan (*). “Karakarauo Ramen ” is an intensely spicy ramen with a pork bone-based ramen topped with red powder mixed with chili pepper and powdered dried bonito. “Karakarauo “’s cup ramen is supervised by “Mendokoro Inosho” and manufactured and sold by “Sugakiya Foods.”

I’m a spiciness-resistant person, but this cup ramen is quite spicy, so I prepare a drink to neutralize the spiciness and a towel to wipe the sweat, and prepare everything before I start eating it. It’s impossible to eat completely with half-hearted attitude, but it’s not only pungent, but also pungent including delicious taste sensation, and I’ll want to eat more naturally after a while.
I would like to get through this summer with ” Karakarauo “.

*They also have a branch in Nagoya,Japan.

” Karakarauo ” was registered as a trademark on November 11, 2016 (Japanese Registration No. 5896486).

Thanks to the unique evolution of food culture here in Nagoya, many people visit the city for “Nagoya-meshi” (Nagoya food).
One of the most popular Nagoya-like sweets is “Piyorin,” a chick-shaped cake. The delicacy of the cake, which is susceptible to shaking and quickly crumbles, has made it so difficult to take home that the term “piyorin challenge” has been coined.

Did you know that there was a sweet called “Shachibon,” which was the predecessor to “Piyorin”? The other day, “Shachibon” was revived after an 11-year absence and has become a topic of conversation.

“Shachibon” is a cream puff in the shape of a charming orcas with strawberry tongues sticking out, and is sold at “Cafe Danmark” located at the Nagoya Uimaimon-dori Hirokoji Exit of JR Nagoya Station from 2:00 pm. It seems to be sold out every day, but if you have a chance, please try it.

“Shachibon” is a registered trademark of JR Tokai Food Service Co., Ltd. (Syszo)

Aomori was the first prefecture I had traveled domestically by plane. I thought it was very far from Nagoya, but I was actually surprised in 80 minutes from Komaki Airport. It was cold in Tohoku as expected, but the food was very good. Above all, the seafood was excellent. At the Aomori Fish Center in Aomori City, I made an original seafood bowl.

How to Use
1. Purchase “Nokkedon” meal tickets (10 tickets: 1,500 yen, 5 tickets: 750 yen)
2. Go to exchange the tickets for rice bowl (normal serving: 1 ticket, large serving: 2 tickets)
3 Exchange for your favorite toppings from about 30 stores in the building (the number of tickets varies depending on the store and the amount of toppings)
4. Completion of the original seafood bowl!

There are about 30 stores, and I was very confused about which store to exchange for which toppings. I felt that communication with the clerk at each store created a cozy atmosphere in the place.
If I have a chance to go to Aomori again, I would like to visit. (Rabbit)

The other day, I bought a matchbox as a disaster prevention goods.
I don’t usually have a chance to use them, but when I look at them again, I find the illustration of the matchboxes to be unique and wonderful.

In the past, matches were often used as advertisements in stores, and we often saw cute matchboxes with elaborate designs. The original design by the manufacturer without advertisements creates a retro atmosphere, and it seems to be collectible item for enthusiasts.
It is understandable that enthusiasts collect them. (Time)
