I visit Miyagawa Morning Market 2 or 3 times a week.
I knew there was a "Takoyaki Stall" but I had never tried it
because I'm usually with my customers
and because we will be doing a cooking after the morning market stroll,
we never had the chance to buy the takoyaki.
By the way, you may already know what takoyaki is,
but it is a dumpling made with flower, vegetables,
and the main ingredient is "tako" which means octopus in Japanese!!
Few days ago, for the first time, I was able to talk to her
and buy a pack of takoyaki from her!!
Takoyaki of course is a popular cuisine in Kansai area (Osaka mainly)
so you may think why takoyaki in Takayama?
BUT there is a reason why you should try these at
Miyagawa Morning Market.
Many.....
no! "most" may be more accurate,
takoyaki shops use imported
tako (octopuses),
but this ones uses
tako only from the Japan Sea
and she uses local Takayama spring onions for the vegetable as well.
The great thing is that you can buy them
in a tiny packet of 3 pieces for 200 yen!!
Why not give it a try.
The friendliest woman, Mariko-san, will welcome you with a big smile!!
宮川朝市へは週に2、3度足を運びます。
たこ焼き屋台があるのは知っていたのですが、
これからクッキングをするお客様と一緒に歩くことが多いので
なかなかチャレンジする機会がなく
通り過ぎてばかりいました。
最近やっとやっと食べることができたんです!!
高山の朝市にどうしてたこ焼き屋さんが???
と少し不思議に思うかもしれません。
こちらのたこ焼き屋さんは
国産どころか、能登で捕れたタコのみ、
そして野菜は地元高山産のネギのみを使用しているそうです。
そんなこだわりのたこ焼きは本当においしいですし、
嬉しいことに3個200円という小さなサイズもありますよ♪
真理子さんのビッグスマイルに会いに行ってください!!
