December 2023 issue Anna Ogino's contribution "Come, saw, and bought! Yokohama Hashidori Shopping Street "

　As you walk along the Yokohama Bridge, you will hear Chinese with a considerable probability. The nearby Minamiyoshida Elementary School has a high percentage of foreigners elementary school studenｔ, and their parents do shopping here. The number of shops with Chinese shopkeepers has increased.
　It is a Chinese restaurant if you sell fish, meat, dried food, and vegetables in one store. There is no sashimi because there is no tradition of eating fish raw. There is a "pork face" in the freezer in the back.
"Coexistence and co-prosperity,"
Mr. Yasutaro Ishizuka, President of the Shopping Street Cooperative Association. However, he added that the rules of the city should be followed. Mr. Ishizuka is the owner of "Anraku", a soba noodle that has been in business for more than 70 years. The town's appearance was 82 years old in the active Bali.

　The meat "Yamanashi Yaseo Shoten" has a history of more than 70 years. Takeshi Yamanashi, the second generation, said his father inherited from his relatives. In the box next to the show window, a chunk of red is floating on the sauce. It was a popular product Char shuu.
"I have about 20 bottles a day."
It is said that there are customers from afar, so they are baked every day in a special kiln. The gentle sweetness enhances the fulfillment of the meat, and the more you chew it, the more you chew it. The unique seasoning is also popular, but the meat is also particular about it. Mr. Yamanashi pointed to the show window to me, who leaned his head when he was called "Hama Pork". All pigs have a "Hama Pork" sticker is attached. It was a brand meat that Yokohama was proud of.
　All cows are Wagyu, and there are various production areas in Hokkaido, Kumamoto and Okinawa. It seems that they receive a report from a wholesaler and buy which part is good. The line is thin sliced, but it is also possible to have it cut for steak. When I knew so, I asked for a piece of cake. "It's not very expensive," he added in a scream.

　In the kimono "Asahiya", a flashy mannequin will welcome you. The red and black playing cards patterned kimonos have laces on the sleeves and hem. In fact, there is a job of wearing such kimonos in everyday life. The Miyoshi Performing Arts Center next to Yokohama Bridge is a box of popular theaters, but it has begun to provide costumes to the actors there "From the Hyona".
"I'm the third generation, but it's the time of the previous landlady," says Rino Kashiwara, a clerk.
It seems that it is consistently undertakes everything from design and fabric dyeing to finishing.
　Mr. Kashiwara brought me a pamphlet. I started renting kimonos in Shinjuku this October, and we also sell dress-like kimonos. The renovation of kimono that actors no longer use is useful. Popular culture that blooms in the downtown area of Yokohama is loved by the cutting-edge young people and foreigners in Shinjuku. It was a day to experience the internationalization of everyday level at Yokohama Bridge.
