ニコニコはんちゃんおばさん、築100年の歴史あるお家
Aunt Nico Nico Han-chan, a 100-year-old house
Akeda’s house is an old-fashioned one-story house that is built around the courtyard after passing through the wooden gate. The main building is over 100 years old (!). Since it was built in the Meiji era, the number of families has increased due to marriage, people have been rebuilt for employers at the sewing workplace, and along with the history of the Akeda family, it has been rebuilt and remodeled to its present form.
As you walk out of the gate and down the narrow alleys, you will see the vegetables of Akeda’s aunt (called “Han-chan” by everyone on the island). You can see a lot of vegetables waiting for harvest there. On the island we grow our own food. Throughout the seasons, radishes, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, and various vegetables grow lush and produce various fruits. Bring your own scissors and triumphantly go to harvest the ingredients for dinner.
Aunt Hanchan is very good at local cuisine that has been passed down from generation to generation in Toyoshima. For example, it teaches island cuisine that makes the best use of local ingredients such as Igis tofu and gou soup. Those are the tastes of Teshima that Aunt Han-chan received from her grandmother. The experience of cooking together is popular.
The lively Han-chan always welcomes you warmly. Relax in a room with a Buddhist altar and enjoy the comfort of returning to your own countryside.
There are many repeaters and many female customers, and Han-chan is also active in accepting foreigners.
木造門をくぐると中庭を囲むように建っている、昔ながらの平屋が緋田さんのお家。母屋はなんと築100年以上(!)。明治に建てられて以来、結婚で家族が増えたり、お裁縫の仕事場で人を雇うために立て替えたり、緋田家の歴史とともに、建て増しや改築を経て現在の形になったそうです。
門を出て細い路地を行くと、お母さん(島のみなさんには「はんちゃん」と呼ばれています)の野菜たくさんの畑が見えてきます。島では自分の食べるものは自分で栽培しており、季節を通して、大根や白菜、ブロッコリ、さまざまな野菜が青々としげり、さまざまな果実が実っています。専用ばさみを持って意気揚々おかずを収穫にいきましょう。
はんちゃんおばさんは豊島に代々伝わる郷土料理が大得意!いぎす豆腐やごう汁など、地の素材を生かした島料理、おばあちゃんから受けついだ豊島の味を教えてくれます。一緒にお料理を作ることができるかも要相談)。
いつもニコニコにぎやかな はんちゃんがあたたかく迎えてくれます。仏壇のあるお部屋でほっこり、自分の田舎に帰ってきたような安らぎを味わってください。
