点评:As far as morning markets go, this one felt less Japanese and more like an autumnal New England farmers' market. My husband and I have been to the much wetter markets in Hakodate, Sapporo and Tsukiji, and those were primarily seafood emporiums where the highlight was usually a fresh donburi bowl. This one was made up of stalls covered in white muslin tenting spread along the east side of Miyagawa River.
Shops on the other side of the road were also selling their goods on long tables. The focus was fresh produce, flowers, handicrafts, and most pertinent to us, local food specialties we wouldn't find elsewhere. There were vendors selling the usual suspects like dango and Hida beef nigiri. We were hoping to land some of the huge, succulent grapes we kept seeing in the YouTube vlogs, but they must've sold out by the time we arrived at 10AM on a brisk Monday.
We thought coming on a Monday morning would hinder our local treasure hunt, but our concern dissipated as we got the impression this was a seven-day operation 6AM to 12 Noon. We ended up making two stops on our meanderings. The first was a young, enthusiastic woman selling hot vegan soup where we grabbed a pair of tongs and picked the ingredients among a bounty of local fresh vegetables. For ¥500, It was a delightfully rich miso soup in a small cup.
There was an anxious queue for the second stop where we were waiting to order the ¥900 Caffe Macchiato served in a handmade cookie cup. A young couple handled the orders with the wife artfully crafting the foam tops. It was a fascinating novelty because it was all done in record time in order for us to have enough time to sip it before the cup dissolves. Fortunately we made it, and the coffee was quite lovely for all the effort.
FOOD / DRINK - 5 stars...the vegan soup and the macchiato in the edible cup were tasty
AMBIANCE - 5 stars...leisurely and bucolic
SERVICE - 5 stars...very cordial and specific
TOTAL - 5 stars...a morning market well worth visiting regularly
翻译:就早市而言,这个早市感觉不太像日式市场,更像是秋季新英格兰的农贸市场。我和丈夫去过函馆、札幌和筑地那些雨水多得多的早市,那些市场主要都是海鲜市场,亮点通常是新鲜的丼饭。而这个早市则由覆盖着白色平纹细布帐篷的摊位组成,沿着宫川东岸分布。
路对面的商店也在长桌上摆放着他们的商品。主要商品是新鲜农产品、鲜花、手工艺品,以及最让我们感兴趣的,在其他地方找不到的当地特色美食。那里有摊贩出售常见的团子和飞騨牛肉握寿司等。我们本来希望能买到一些在YouTube视频博客里经常看到的硕大多汁的葡萄,但当我们在一个凉爽的星期一上午10点到达时,它们肯定已经售罄了。
我们原以为周一早上来会耽误我们在当地的寻宝活动,但当我们得知这家店从早上6点到中午12点营业一周七天时,顾虑就烟消云散了。我们最终在漫步的途中停了两站。第一站是一位热情洋溢的年轻女士,她卖着热腾腾的素食汤。我们拿起钳子,从琳琅满目的当地新鲜蔬菜中挑选食材。500日元,一小杯装着浓郁美味的味噌汤。
第二站排起了长长的队伍,我们焦急地等待着900日元的玛奇朵咖啡,它盛在一个手工制作的饼干杯里。一对年轻夫妇负责点单,妻子则巧妙地制作着泡沫杯盖。这真是一个令人着迷的新奇体验,因为一切都在创纪录的时间内完成,让我们有足够的时间在杯子融化之前小酌一杯。幸运的是,我们成功了,而且咖啡本身就很美味,值得我们付出的努力。
餐饮 - 五星……素食汤和可食用杯装的玛奇朵味道鲜美。
氛围 - 五星……悠闲而田园风光。
服务 - 五星……热情周到,细致入微。
总分 - 五星……早市值得经常光顾。
