At this time of year, outdoor recreation requires protection against heat stroke.
Drugstores sell a variety of cold products.
Derived from sweat wipes, there are also face sheets and body sheets that feel cool, and even larger ones are sold under the product name of “towels”.
Each product has its own unique flavor, with a different product name or package illustration to appeal to the consumer’s eye in order to make them feel the coolness more.

For your reference, here is a picture of a product called “Gokkan Towel” with a cute illustration.

#Geographical Indication #GI Mark #trademark

Hello, this is Hiro.
The other day, we had grilled chicken on a barbecue stove. On the bag of charcoal “Iwate Kirizumi” that we used at that time, there was a trademark registration number (No.1665789) and a GI Mark/Geographical Indication registration number (No.66) in Japan.

According to the public notice of the registration of the Geographical Indication “Iwate Kirizumi” (No.66), “”Iwate Charcoal (Iwate Kirizumi)” is black charcoal produced in Iwate Prefecture using logs grown in the prefecture. While the carbonization temperature of common domestic black charcoal is 400 to 700 ℃, “Iwate Charcoal” is produced at a higher temperature (approximately 800 ℃).” Iwate Charcoal” has a high carbon content of approximately 90%, which minimizes smoke, flames, and odor during combustion, and leaves little ash after burning.”.

Indeed, the smoke, flame, and odor from the charcoal after it is lit are less than those of other charcoals we have used in the past, and thanks to this, we were able to enjoy our yakitori in comfort. The yakitori grilled over charcoal was well cooked inside and the slightly charred sauce was very savory and tasty.

Under the Geographical Indications (GI) protection system, only products that meet the registration requirements are allowed to use the “Geographical Indications (GI Mark)”, which means that only products (goods) that protect quality can be distributed in the market. Consumers who are concerned about the quality of products can rest assured that they can choose products that bear the “Geographical Indications (GI Mark)” label.

Karakarauo

In summer, I have an urge to eat something that is spicy. We stock ” Karakara Fish Ramen (Karakarauo) ” cup ramen at our house so that we can eat it whenever we want.

The word ” Karakarauo ” comes from the menu name ” Karakarauo Ramen,” which is the name of the ramen shop “Mendokoro Inosho” located in Tokyo,Japan (*). “Karakarauo Ramen ” is an intensely spicy ramen with a pork bone-based ramen topped with red powder mixed with chili pepper and powdered dried bonito. “Karakarauo “’s cup ramen is supervised by “Mendokoro Inosho” and manufactured and sold by “Sugakiya Foods.”

Karakarauo

I’m a spiciness-resistant person, but this cup ramen is quite spicy, so I prepare a drink to neutralize the spiciness and a towel to wipe the sweat, and prepare everything before I start eating it. It’s impossible to eat completely with half-hearted attitude, but it’s not only pungent, but also pungent including delicious taste sensation, and I’ll want to eat more naturally after a while.
I would like to get through this summer with ” Karakarauo “.

*They also have a branch in Nagoya,Japan.

” Karakarauo ” was registered as a trademark on November 11, 2016 (Japanese Registration No. 5896486).

Nagoya’s specialty? “Shachibon” is back!

*Shachibon is a combination of Shachi (which is Orca in Japanese) and bon voyage (French)

Thanks to the unique evolution of food culture here in Nagoya, many people visit the city for “Nagoya-meshi” (Nagoya food).
One of the most popular Nagoya-like sweets is “Piyorin,” a chick-shaped cake. The delicacy of the cake, which is susceptible to shaking and quickly crumbles, has made it so difficult to take home that the term “piyorin challenge” has been coined.

Did you know that there was a sweet called “Shachibon,” which was the predecessor to “Piyorin”? The other day, “Shachibon” was revived after an 11-year absence and has become a topic of conversation.

Shachibon

“Shachibon” is a cream puff in the shape of a charming orcas with strawberry tongues sticking out, and is sold at “Cafe Danmark” located at the Nagoya Uimaimon-dori Hirokoji Exit of JR Nagoya Station from 2:00 pm. It seems to be sold out every day, but if you have a chance, please try it.
