Let's go!
Kinkonkankon!
Oh, excuse me!
I'm looking for the hardest candy in Japan.
Do you know where it is?
It's over there, in Kadomasa-san's house.
Oh, is that it?
Is it that hard in Japan?
It's even used for babies' teeth.
It's a very hard candy.
Have you ever eaten it?
It's pretty hard.
Oh, really?
Thank you!
I'm off!
Thank you!
Kadomasa-san's house
Kadomasa-san's house is right in front of me.
I'd like to go and ask him about it.
Hello!
Welcome!
Nice to meet you!
I know it's sudden, but let me introduce myself.
We are...
One, two...
Super!
Strong! Energy!
Positive! Exciting! Soul! From Nagoya!
My name is Ogurezuki of Team Shanchi.
Nice to meet you!
First of all, I'd like to introduce you to the hardest candy in Japan.
Can I ask you something?
Yes, you can.
Thank you very much!
What is the hardest candy in Japan?
It's a candy called "kutsuwa ta ka da".
It's made of edomaki.
The goddess Susano-no-miko hangs a charm on her waist.
It's made of edomaki.
Kutsuwa ta ka da is made of edomaki.
Aka da is made of edomaki.
So, each candy has a different shape.
Yes, it does.
But they are both hard.
Yes, they are.
Why are they hard?
They are hard because they don't have sugar or starch in them.
I see.
Aka da and kutsuwa ta ka da are made in this shop?
Yes, they are.
Do you make them every day?
Does your mother make them, too?
Yes, she does.
When I first came here, it was around four in the morning.
Back in the day, we had a water gate.
Now we have gas and electricity.
It's four in the morning.
It used to be early in the morning.
Now it's around six in the morning.
It's early in the morning.
Yes, around six in the morning.
You get up early and start preparing.
My mother is the first one to start working.
She prepares them.
That's amazing.
My husband and his wife make the dough.
So you have a strong bond and love for your family.
That's right.
You put a lot of love into it.
I really want to try it.
It's okay.
Can I?
Thank you very much.
That's right.
Wow, it looks delicious!
I'd like to start with the red one.
Thank you for it.
It's a bite-sized little one like this.
Is it okay? Thank you for it.
It's hard.
It's hard!
It's really hard.
If you put it in your mouth for a while, it melts.
Wow!
It's very flavorful.
It's kind of juicy.
That's right. Thank you very much.
It's also chewy and hard.
It says it's been around for 240 years.
How long has this shop been around?
It's been around for almost 240 years.
240 years?!
Yes.
Has this shop been around for 240 years?
That's right.
The red one is older.
The shoe one is older.
Is that so?!
It's said to have been used as medicine.
Is that so?!
Can I have this shoe one, too?
Thank you for it.
It's basically a circle.
I sometimes feel like there's a heart in it.
Is it just my imagination?
That's right.
Is it?!
Maybe there's a cute shoe like this in it?
Maybe!
Then I'll have a heart one.
Do you have a heart, too?
I don't.
I don't!
I have a heart.
I'll have a heart version.
Can you hear me?
This...
It feels good when you chew it.
It's very hard.
It's sweet.
It has a little sugar in it, so it's savory.
Akada has a salty soy sauce flavor.
Kutsuwa is sweet and delicious.
Thank you.
It's very hard.
I'm curious about the lotus root over there.
I love lotus root chips.
Is that so?
This is a local lotus root.
It's around here.
It's made in Aichi Prefecture.
A local person made it with a local lotus root.
I eat this a lot.
I love lotus root chips.
I often have it at home.
I've seen this before.
Is this sweet sugar?
This is sweet sugar.
Is that so?
What does it taste like?
Please wait a moment.
Is it okay?
It's sweet.
Do you keep eating Akada and Kutsuwa and have strong teeth?
I eat Akada and Kutsuwa to check my teeth.
Your teeth will be healthy.
This is lotus root.
Thank you very much.
Can I eat it?
I'll eat it with sugar.
I'll eat it.
It's a new lotus root.
It's beautiful.
It doesn't have any bad smell.
It's like a snack.
It's unusual for a lotus root snack.
It's unusual.
It doesn't taste like vegetables.
Even small children can eat it like a snack.
It's sweet and delicious.
I'm sorry for asking you a lot of questions.
What is this cute bag?
It's a shoe bag.
It's a bag called "shimada-zutsumi".
The name "shimada-zutsumi" is engraved on this part of the bamboo leaf.
It's very cute.
Bamboo leaves have gradually disappeared in the past.
Now it's a new package.
There are old and new things.
It feels like the past and the present coexist.
It's wonderful.
It was fun to hear a lot of wonderful stories today.
I was able to feel the love of my family and it made me feel really warm.
I hope you're doing well, too.
Thank you.
Thank you for always smiling.
Thank you for the wonderful stories.
It was delicious. Thank you.
Thank you.
Today, I had "akada" and "kutsuwa" from Kadomasa.
At first, I was worried about whether my teeth would break because it was said to be the hardest snack in Japan.
However, it was delicious even though it was hard.
I bought a lot of it because it was so delicious that I fell in love with it.
I hope you enjoy this hardness and this flavor.
Come on, everyone! To the deep Tsushima!
Bye bye!
