00:00YOSHIDA RUI
00:24I'm Yoshida Rui.
00:26Today, I'm at Futakotamagawa Station.
00:29This is a very fashionable development area.
00:34It's a very popular area.
00:38Young people and old people come here.
00:44It's a very lively area.
00:48There are a lot of fashionable people here.
00:55I was wondering if I would go to such a fashionable shop today.
01:00Surprisingly, there is an old shop here.
01:04It's very interesting.
01:06So I'm going to go there today.
01:10Let's go.
01:12Futakotamagawa Station
01:18Futakotamagawa Station is located in the eastern outskirts of Nishinoseijo, which is famous for its luxury residential areas.
01:28The redevelopment of Futakotamagawa Station on the east side of the station has also been completed.
01:36This is Setagaya Ward.
01:41There are more people here than in Koji Prefecture, where I'm from.
01:46There's something strange about this place.
01:49It's a hand-painted library.
01:51It's okay because it's past the opening hours.
01:55Let's take a look.
01:57It says it's open now.
02:00Hello.
02:02Is it okay if I come in?
02:04Yes, please come in.
02:06Can I see what's inside?
02:08Please come in.
02:11It's a hand-painted library in a complete residential area.
02:17Chiyoko Ozaki, the founder of the Japan Hand-Painted Society,
02:21has been publicizing hand-paintings and creative hand-paintings collected in various places
02:26to promote the advancement of technology and the culture of hand-paintings.
02:30This is a hand-painting of a girl.
02:34The boy was doing it as a hand-painting.
02:38The girl was doing the hand-painting.
02:42Wow, there are so many.
02:45Is this a kind of embroidery?
02:49Yes, it is.
02:51The ball is cut in half,
02:54and the pattern is put inside.
03:02It's very elaborate.
03:05What caught the eye was the hand-painting made by the first president.
03:10The geometric pattern, which is made by hand-painting of the same color,
03:14is so good that you can even feel the quality.
03:19It is surprising to say that it is a work of art after the age of 80.
03:25Which one is your mother?
03:27The one sitting on the chair is my mother,
03:30and this is me.
03:33It is said that the first president was Koichi, who is the same age as Mr. Yoshida.
03:39And the current president also loves alcohol.
03:42A good relationship was made only by hand-painting.
03:48Oh, there is a bar I want to go to.
03:51Yoshizawa.
03:53The wind from the Tama River is blowing,
03:56so the river wind is a little cold.
03:59It's still winter at night.
04:02Be careful not to catch a cold.
04:04Oh, the light is on.
04:08Good evening.
04:13I live around here.
04:15Good evening.
04:17May I sit here?
04:21If you walk for about 15 minutes along the Tama River from the station,
04:24you can see Yoshizawa, a bar that serves good fish.
04:28Yoshizawa is the name of the area around here.
04:32Excuse me.
04:34I'd like a beer, too.
04:36I see.
04:38He orders a beer in line with Madam Nikotama next door.
04:42Excuse me, can I have a toast?
04:45Cheers!
04:48Thank you for your hard work.
04:50It's good.
04:56On a cold day, a hot drink is a must.
04:59Today's drink is simmered mochi.
05:02The river wind was pretty cold today.
05:07I'm grateful for this simmered mochi.
05:10Oh, daikon and burdock.
05:17It's well seasoned.
05:19It doesn't smell like mochi at all.
05:26It looks delicious.
05:28The sashimi looks great.
05:34Let's order something.
05:38Hello.
05:40Welcome.
05:42What kind of fish do you serve?
05:46I went fishing this morning.
05:48I have my own fish market in Kawasaki.
05:51I've been going there for almost 40 years.
05:56I see.
05:57I'm confident in my fish.
06:02I see.
06:04He was born and raised in Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture.
06:07He has been dealing with fish for 40 years, including fishing as a hobby.
06:13Isn't this amazing?
06:16This is a roasted goldfish from Mitsuhakiko.
06:19This is a dried amberjack from Ikejime in Ehime Prefecture.
06:23This is a tuna from Mebachi.
06:25I'd like to have sake with this.
06:30It's 600 yen. It's cheap.
06:32I'd like to have Hatsumago.
06:38Hatsumago is particular about making sake.
06:42It takes a lot of time and effort to make sake.
06:50It's a little sweet.
06:53I don't know why it doesn't go well with sake.
07:03This dried amberjack is from the west.
07:07There are three kinds of fish with different textures.
07:10I'd like you to taste the texture of Ikejime.
07:13It has a lot of fat.
07:16Okay.
07:22It hasn't been long since I closed the store.
07:25The taste will change tomorrow and the day after.
07:28It will.
07:29It will be more tender.
07:30The fat will come out more.
07:33I ate sashimi today.
07:36I'd like you to try sakuramasu.
07:41It's a seasonal fish.
07:44I'd like you to try it.
07:46I'd love to.
07:49Yu-an-yaki is a fish with soy sauce, mirin, sake, and yuzu.
07:57Yu-an-yaki has a refreshing smell of citrus.
08:02It makes me want to eat white rice.
08:12This is sakuramasu.
08:14It's a little different from the deliciousness of salmon.
08:17It has more umami.
08:21And...
08:27It goes well with this spicy taste.
08:33The side dish is grated daikon with homemade salt sauce.
08:43It's totally different.
08:45It has a strong taste of soup stock.
08:48It goes well with this.
08:59Welcome back.
09:02Let's go this way.
09:04Hello.
09:06Hello.
09:08This restaurant has a set menu, so the customers can eat here.
09:12Ma'am.
09:13Yes?
09:14I'd like to order simmered Nameta curry.
09:18It's delicious.
09:19I'll have Nameta curry, please.
09:21Okay.
09:22I'd like to change my drink, too.
09:25Would you like to try kakatobi?
09:27I'll have kakatobi, please.
09:29Okay.
09:31This is a low-temperature rice made by fermenting rice.
09:36Nameta curry is a high-class fish with elegant sweetness and umami.
09:40It's the best taste in this season.
09:44I'll have Nameta curry and kakatobi.
09:52It's sweet.
09:53Thank you for waiting.
09:58I have nothing to say.
10:08Thank you for waiting.
10:13It's a big tonkatsu.
10:17Masa.
10:18Yes?
10:19When I looked at the menu, there was a dish called gyumenchi.
10:23Yes.
10:24It's made with tomato sauce.
10:25Yes.
10:26I can make anything.
10:28When I got a request, I was told that I had to make anything.
10:31I learned it from the previous owner.
10:34The previous owner was sick.
10:36So, my wife became the older sister of the previous owner.
10:44The previous owner?
10:46Yes, she became the older sister.
10:48She became the older sister?
10:49Yes.
10:50Basically, I was forced to do many things.
10:55It was tough.
10:56We lived close to each other.
10:57So, we went fishing and golfing together.
11:01We always drank together.
11:04We were like brothers.
11:06We really became brothers.
11:07That's right.
11:09We got married.
11:13Actually, Western-style dishes are also popular.
11:17Mr. Yoshida adds nurukan to this dish.
11:28This is a special and refined taste.
11:33They met again at the izakaya in Tokyo where the previous owner happened to work.
11:42The fate of the bar is unpredictable.
11:48I can't say anything.
11:52This area was one of the walking courses.
11:59So, I miss it.
12:01But I didn't know about this izakaya.
12:04Yoshizawa.
12:07It's a bar for adults.
12:12It's a bar where you can relax and have a good time with fish and alcohol.
12:29That's the good thing about this izakaya.
12:33So, I'm going to look for a bar and go home.
12:41See you later.
12:46Spring is coming.
12:48It's the beginning of a new year.
12:54I feel the warmth of people's bond.
