酒膳一文本店@浅草
子供の頃から大の浅草好きである僕としては、頭の中に「浅草で使える飲食店リスト」が常にあるわけですけれど、伝統の老舗が多い浅草の場合は、大抵がもう何十年も通っているお店でリストが埋まってしまっていて、そうそう新しい店は増えることはありません。しかし最近この店の存在を知りリストに加わって、今や外すことが出来ないお店となったのが「一文本店」です。国際通りを三ノ輪の方へ向かい、言問通りとの交差点をちょっと越えた先の路地裏に佇む、築50年という古びた一軒家。その前には「ねぎま」の文字が書かれた真っ白い大きな提灯と、国産食材を積極的に使用している証でもある「緑提灯」がぶら下がっています。店内には土間があり水車も回る、大江戸居酒屋と称した雰囲気の中で、美味しい名物料理とお酒を楽しめる佳店です。ちなみにもう少し言問通りを浅草寺寄りに行ったところには、会席料理が楽しめる「一文別館」があります。
こちらのお店のユニークなところはすべての価格が店名のように「文」表示で記されているところ。例えば「天然生本鮪の中落ち」が六文、「仙台牛すじもつ煮込み」が四文といった具合です。席に通されるとまず木札に「両替」をしなければなりません。一文は100円というレートになっています。この日は二人で足を運びましたので取り敢えず1万円を百文に両替。すると木箱に入った百文が届けられます。あとは注文をする度にお店の人がここから必要な文数だけ抜いていくシステムです。足りなければ追加で両替が出来ますし、逆に余ったら帰りに現金に戻す事も出来ます。これはなかなか良く出来たシステムとでもいいましょうか、まず先払いというかデポジット的な役割をしていますので、飲み逃げ食べ逃げがありませんし、円にくらべて桁数が2つも減ってますので、直感的に料理の価格が分かり辛くなっているのもこの店のしたたかな計算のように思います。もちろん江戸を演出するための大切な小道具になっていることは言うまでもありません。
このお店の看板メニューの一つが「鯨」です。日本古来の食文化でもある鯨は諸般の事情によりただでさえ入手し辛くなりましたが、たまに鯨料理店があったとしても高級料理になってしまっていて、なかなか簡単に食べられなくなりました。そんな鯨をリーズナブルな価格で味わうことが出来る数少ないお店だと思います。制限がかかってからは国内の鯨といえば圧倒的に「ミンクくじら」が流通していますが、この日は珍しい「ナガスくじら」が入っていました。流通量的にはナガスはミンクの1/50と言いますから相当稀少なくじらです。そこで「ナガスくじら赤身たたき(写真)」(十二文)を頂きました。思ったよりもクセはなく、ミンクよりも個体が大きいからなのでしょうか、脂分がしっとりとしてコクのある味わいがしました。また鯨と言えば定番の「ナガス鯨の立田揚げ」(十八文)も熱々の揚げたてで、量もあって美味しくいただきました。
そしてこの店一番の名物料理はなんといっても「ねぎま鍋」です。そもそもねぎま鍋とは江戸時代に捨てられていたカマやトロの部分がもったいないと始められたものだとか。それが今では本鮪のトロを鍋にするという、何とも贅沢な料理となってしまいました。こちらでは鮪の産地などの指定によって二人前の価格が三十四文、六十文、百二十文と3種類ありますが、この日は基本の「江戸名物ねぎま鍋(写真)」(三十四文)を。江戸らしくキリッとした味わいの鍋には刻まれた葱が浮かべられていて、最初に伝統の江戸野菜である千寿葱に有機栽培の江戸菜、栃木産の原木椎茸などを入れて、見るからに脂が乗った鮪のカマトロを仕上げに入れて完成です。火を通したにもかかわらずしっかりと脂の旨味が残っている鮪は絶品。大抵鮪などに火を入れると食感がぼそぼそとなりますが、これだけ脂も乗っていますので実にしっとりとしなやかな食感になっています。また葱にはどっしりとした存在感と糖度の高い甘味ある「千寿葱」を使用。煮崩れもせず甘味も強い葱ということで、そもそもすき焼きなど江戸の鍋に重用されていたという歴史ある葱は、通常の白葱の5倍程の重さと倍ほどの糖度を持っているのだとか。そんな葱ですからこのねぎま鍋にはピッタリ。ただかなり太い葱ですので、いわゆる「葱鉄砲」には注意が必要です。そして鍋の締めには「特製うどんセット」(七文)を。稲庭うどんを鍋に入れ卵でとじていただきます。これがまた美味しいこと。
浅草で鍋というと少々気後れする方もいらっしゃるかも知れませんが、こちらのお店ならば敷居も価格も高くなく、昔ながらの江戸の名物鍋を気軽に味わえると思います。学生時代からこの店の板長を任されたという平川さんはふぐ調理師の資格の他にも利き酒師やソムリエの資格もお持ちということで、お酒関係もそうとう強いお店です。また夜が比較的早い浅草の中でも遅くまで営業しているのが嬉しいです。気の置けない仲間と普段使いもするのはもちろん、一風変わった雰囲気は女の子なども喜びますので、色々な状況に応じて使う事が出来て大変重宝しています。僕の「浅草で使える飲食店リスト」の中でもこれからも輝き続けることでしょう。

Farmers must insist on limited copper sources as sheep can quickly accumulate a fatal level of copper in their systems. Brigham Young was installed as governor of the territory, and Utah became subject to federal laws, including that of Polygamy, which was a felony. Remember that every crop that you have planted, will double the yield during the harvest.

It's best to start thinking about who to use well in advance. You can paste one copy to the packed box, give one to the moving company representative, and keep one for yourself. The staff will assist every way they can from your initial enquiry, all the way through to the completed move, and they can help by providing boxes and materials, packing and unpacking, crating and wrapping plus more. Some individuals are so busy that they don't get enough time to manage all the removals by themselves; they definitely look for help from a reliable company. Reliability aside from choosing an affordable and well known shipping company like LTV International Removals, it is also best to review their reliability.

Buying wine online also allows the wine aficionado to search out that rare or obscure item that would have likely not have ever been found by physically looking in traditional wine shops. What little Americans know about Net Neutrality is enough to cause panic. Thus, to avoid losing what you already have, you need somebody to guide you throughout your Internet marketing career.
