There is also a soft serve ice cream that makes the best use of Okayama's "peach"!

I want to eat delicious food in Okayama right now. When you think so, you can rely on the antenna shop. "Tottori Okayama Shimbashikan" in Shinbashi, Tokyo has everything from Okayama sweets to sake snacks.

Break spot in the office district

"Tottori Okayama Shimbashikan" storefront
It's a shop that recommends sweets that you can't imagine from a cool signboard.

Tottori Okayama Shimbashikan is located at "Shimbashi Center Place" just outside the Ginza exit of JR Shimbashi Station. Tottori prefecture and Okayama prefecture are jointly working on it.

I visited during the lunch break on weekdays. At the entrance, we are handing out leaflets featuring peach sweets. The "Okayama White Peach Festival" is being held until July 16th. It seems that you can eat peach soft serve for 370 yen with a 50 yen discount at 420 yen (tax included, same below).

The season is summer. It's hot outside and it's just right. I walked to the soft serve ice cream corner in the back of the store and ordered vigorously.

Peach soft serve ice cream is delicious!

Shimizu white peach soft serve

The official name is "Shimizu Hakuto Soft Cream". There are no children in the office district during the daytime on weekdays, but there are several pairs of men and women who seem to be office workers. Adults also like soft serve ice cream.

When it was my turn, when I showed the leaflet, he gave me a 50 yen discount.

The soft serve ice cream that comes out has a fluffy peach scent and melts in your mouth. I ate all the roots of the corn. By the way, I was a little intrigued that I could eat white peach parfait (1,280 yen) at the "hospitality house" on the 2nd floor, but I was disappointed that all the sweets were in a row, so I went around the product sales corner. Especially.

Various sweets and snacks in Kurashiki

So to speak, "Okayama citizen's soul food"

What caught my eye was the "cigar fly" (221 yen), which is said to be made in Okayama and Kurashiki. It is a lightly salted biscuit, and it says "Okayama Prefecture's soul food."

I wondered if that was the case, and when I picked it up and looked sideways, I found Kurashiki sweets again. "Kongari crispy" (210 yen). It's a fried biscuits that are fragrantly baked. There is a wide variety.

There was also "Kongari crispy"

According to the explanation of the clerk, the ones in the Mabi district, which was heavily damaged by the heavy rain in Kurashiki city, have not arrived at this time (mid-July), but there are several in other areas. ..

As for snacks, there is "Kurashiki sausage" (270 yen). It has a strange taste of using salt from the Seto Inland Sea and smoking it with cherry blossom trees in Okayama. I decided to buy this.

Smoky Kurashiki sausage

The package also describes the commitment of the person making it

I decided to put it in aluminum foil and bake it in an oven toaster. A few minutes to wait. It smelled like smoked food.

Very smoky

When I grab it, it's very smoky. It's still expensive, but I want beer or highball.

It tastes good, but it's not greasy. And it is moist without being dry. It is said that powdered soup stock such as fish, shiitake mushrooms, and kelp is included with the meat. It is a finished seasoning that you can enjoy as it is without adding mustard or ketchup.

In the summer, the sweets are eye-catching at Tottori Okayama Shimbashikan, but the salty food is also delicious. If you're in Tokyo and want something from Okayama, you might want to visit.
