Candy Apple Sweets Store

Candy apple" from Daikanyama, Tokyo, is a candy apple specialty store. The store has retained the nostalgic atmosphere of the candy you used to eat at festivals and other such events, and has pursued "real candy apples" by focusing on the apples, candy, and cooking methods. This time, we visited the Yokohama branch, located near the Sotetsu exit of Yokohama Station, and here is our report!There are eight types of candy apples on the menu. In addition to the basic "plain," there are a variety of flavors coated on them. Cinnamon sugar" and "black tea," reminiscent of apple pie and apple tea, are sure to be delicious. The "Yogurt Chocolate" made with white chocolate and yogurt and the "Pure Cocoa" made with real cocoa are unexpected combinations of chocolate and apple, which makes you wonder what they taste like. The "hojicha," "Uji matcha," and "Tanba kuromame kinako (soybean flour)" are also unique Japanese flavors. Instagram > https://www.instagram.com/candy_apple_369/Google Map > https://goo.gl/maps/Qi3CoWec2eUeUuQbA

Ramen - Born In Yokohama

Yokohama, is the first harbor city introduced to the world as the entrance to Japan. Since the time its port was opened, the roots of ramen were introduced to Yokohama from China. Ramen, which originated in Yokohama and is now called a national dish, has been introduced to various parts of Japan.Chinese noodles first gained popularity in Japan in 1859, when centuries of isolation ended and the port of Yokohama opened for international trade. At the same time, a nationwide ban on eating meat was lifted, bringing to the table new flavors. To a bowl of basic Chinese-style noodles, Japanese chefs added a slice of fatty chashu (braised pork belly) and unique soup stocks made with local ingredients, such as miso, kelp, bonito, and clams. And in doing so, they created a delicious umami-rich dish now famous the world over: ramen.You might want to sink your chopsticks into the ramen made at one of Yokohama’s independent ramen shops. If that’s the case, we have a recommendation: Ramen Trick, located a minute from the Blue Line’s Yoshinocho Station, Exit 3. DDespite the unsettling name and the informal atmosphere of the joint, decorated with bombastic rooster illustrations, the place is the real deal. Ramen Trick was opened in 2012 by Noboru Nishigaki and his wife, Kazumi. “Before opening,” Noboru recalls, “we were working in Chinatown, above the Trick Art museum, and one day, we realized the word ‘trick’ sounded like ‘tori-ku’ (eat chicken), so we chose the name.”Puns aside, Ramen Trick is all about chicken—no other meat products are on offer—and if you visit between hours, be prepared to see big plastic pails of chicken parts being prepped for the stock pot bubbling away in the back of the kitchen. Three kinds of fowl, including Okayama’s Sansui, Nagoya’s Cochin, and Yamanashi’s Shingen simmer away with dried tomatoes and konbu (seaweed), bringing out unique umami notes. A quick glance at the walls reveals the restaurant has prizes—including a Bib Gourmand Award from Michelin—to back up our recommendation.Google Map > https://goo.gl/maps/Rd9SsuyDcFyGaU9u9
