00:00酒場という聖地へ 酒を求め 魚を求めさまよう 吉田類の酒場放浪記
00:20I'm Rui Yoshida. Today, I'm at Sayama Gaoka in Ikebukuro, Seibu Prefecture.
00:34When I hear the word Sayama, it reminds me of a teahouse.
00:40I've been to a place like that before, but it's an old-fashioned teahouse.
00:51So I'm going to look for it today.
00:54Let's go.
01:01Sayama Gaoka Station, Ikebukuro, Seibu Prefecture
01:05It's called Sayama, but the station is in Tokorozawa City.
01:10Mr. Yoshida went to the east exit where the old shopping street spreads.
01:21I can see a very nostalgic signboard.
01:25Tokyo Ponpoko Honpo, this is it.
01:31Ponpoko Tanuki no Omanjuu, right?
01:38It's a nostalgic signboard. It even reminds me of a song.
01:43Ponpoko Tanuki's commercial was popular in Kanto Prefecture in the Showa era.
01:50After the bubble broke out, the company went bankrupt.
01:53However, the predecessor, who was one of the developers, was re-established.
01:58The name has changed a little, but the familiar taste remains.
02:04It used to be called Ponpoko, but you can't get a registration ticket with Ponpoko.
02:11The shape is the same.
02:14It's cute.
02:17The taste hasn't changed.
02:23The other one is the matcha flavor that didn't exist before.
02:32Is this new?
02:35Yes, the predecessor wanted to make matcha.
02:39He wanted to make it using local ingredients.
02:42So this is the second generation.
02:44Now it's gone.
02:46My father used to work at Ponpoko's company.
02:51Now that the company is gone, it's a waste.
02:57That's why my father started working here.
03:01Are you a family now?
03:03My younger brother is the president now.
03:07This is my daughter.
03:09So you're a granddaughter.
03:13What was your grandfather like?
03:15He was very kind.
03:18You can see his personality in Ponpoko.
03:22This is a Tokyo specialty store that you can only buy here or in the service area.
03:27I'd like to come to Sayamagaoka and try it.
03:31As expected, there is a red lantern.
03:35It's lined up.
03:40There's a Hoppy in Kikuya.
03:45I'm glad to see Hoppy here.
03:49Let's go in.
03:56Good evening.
04:0110 minutes on foot from Sayamagaoka Station.
04:04Kikuya is a famous restaurant for delicious kushi-yaki.
04:07Hoppy has been around for 45 years.
04:12What would you like to drink?
04:14I'd like to have Hoppy.
04:19Black or white?
04:21Black, please.
04:25Hoppy is served in a freezer in winter.
04:30They make it with their own steam.
04:34Thank you for waiting.
04:42It's cold.
04:45Excuse me, can I have a toast?
04:48Cheers.
04:53Cheers.
04:58It's a lively family here.
05:01Cheers.
05:10It's a lively family here.
05:19Today's appetizer is stewed beef radish.
05:23It's a spicy flavor with tomato juice as a secret ingredient.
05:31It's not too strong, and it's light.
05:33I think it's stylish.
05:36What they're proud of is the mozuyaki.
05:40They cook the pork from the throat to the intestines on charcoal.
05:46That's why there are so many take-out orders.
05:51There are so many take-out orders.
05:56Mr. Yoshida also orders take-out.
05:59By the way, there are fish in the stewed beef radish.
06:02There are fish in the stewed beef radish.
06:05There are fish in the stewed beef radish.
06:06Would you like me to grill the horse mackerel?
06:08Sure.
06:10I can grill the horse mackerel with kabayaki or shio-yaki.
06:15I'll have the kabayaki.
06:19Thank you for waiting.
06:22The line-up is great.
06:27This is a big piece of meat.
06:31The sharp edge tells the freshness of the liver.
06:41It's very chewy.
06:44Next is the cartilage.
06:46Various parts are mixed together.
06:49Are there different parts of the cartilage?
06:52Yes, there are.
06:53There are the head, the tongue, and the teeth.
06:56All of them?
06:57Yes, all of them.
06:58It's a good deal.
07:01It's a good deal.
07:04The secret sauce has been passed down since the Sendai era.
07:07It's special.
07:09It's delicious.
07:11It's delicious, isn't it?
07:12I can taste various flavors.
07:19The part at the end is called the tongue.
07:22It's a rare part.
07:23It's mixed with the meat.
07:26The customers can eat it deliciously.
07:30I see.
07:38This is excellent.
07:40It's hard to get the tongue.
07:43Yes.
07:45I can only get four of them.
07:50You are particular about the tongue.
07:54That's right.
07:56Sanma's kabayaki.
07:58It must be delicious.
08:05He takes another bite without saying anything.
08:15Sanma looks like a relative of an eel.
08:21It's a proof that he's drunk.
08:25Do you have fish skewers?
08:28Yes, we do.
08:30It depends on the season.
08:33I see.
08:35There are not only kabayaki, but also sashimi.
08:38We went fishing the other day.
08:42Fishing?
08:44Yes, we did.
08:45I'd like to have a kawahagi-zukushi.
08:49The counter is a special seat where you can see the kitchen.
08:54Does kawahagi-zukushi have liver or something?
08:59Thank you for waiting.
09:01This is kawahagi.
09:03This is the meat of the cheek.
09:07This is liver.
09:10This is the one that was boiled.
09:13This is the one that was grilled.
09:16Kawahagi-zukushi is much better than expected.
09:20I'd like to have it with sake.
09:22Here you are.
09:26He chose the famous sake of Gunma, Ose-no-yukidoke.
09:31Is this the cheek?
09:33Yes, it is.
09:35He dips it in liver soy sauce.
09:38Kawahagi has a strong bite.
09:41The flavor of the cheek is strong.
09:45How sweet it is!
09:48The kawahagi was caught by Mr. Kumi.
09:51I'm good at feeding.
09:53Mr. Kumi is good at fishing.
09:55I'm good at feeding.
09:57So you are a veteran of fishing.
10:01I'm not a veteran, but I catch a lot of fish.
10:04You catch a lot of fish.
10:06This is the skin of the kawahagi that was caught.
10:09It was mixed with ponzu and grated daikon radish.
10:15It's a little sweet.
10:18This brings out the good taste.
10:22The sake disappears into the body like snow melting.
10:30This is the kawahagi roll that was grilled over charcoal.
10:37It's a familiar taste.
10:41It's a great snack.
10:44That's right.
10:46He is in a good mood.
10:49When Mr. Yoshida is in a good mood, he wants to drink Kochi's sake.
10:54Ginrei is the first sake that Suigei started to make Ginjo sake.
10:59He wants to order one more sake.
11:02Do you have a sandwich?
11:06Do you have a sandwich?
11:08Yes, I have a yakitori sandwich.
11:10A yakitori sandwich?
11:12Yes.
11:14A yakitori sandwich is a roll of chicken.
11:23It's beautiful.
11:28This is tartar sauce.
11:42This is beyond my imagination.
11:47It's delicious.
11:49I will never miss this when I come here again.
11:56The taste of Kikuya from Sendai is indispensable to this town.
12:04It's delicious.
12:10Mr. Kikuya.
12:13The owner and the owner's wife at the bar.
12:19They are energetic and have a good smile.
12:23This is a wonderful and fun shop.
12:27I knew it.
12:31I'm going to do some research.
12:36I'm sure there are many more.
12:38I'm going to take a look around.
12:41I'm going to take a look around.
12:42I'm going to take a look around.
12:46Ginjo, a sake that melts in your brain.
12:54A smile that melts you and love.
