たまに浜源の屋号の由来をお客様から訊かれます。実は二代目の主人も先代女将もよく知りません。屋号を決めたのは恥ずかしがり屋の初代でした。いつきいてもはっきり答えてくれませんでした。
初代の地元、三河地方では漁港を「浜」と言うそうです。
「浜」が寿司の「源」だ。
三河の地物の魚にこだわっていた初代の思いが込められた屋号なのかもしれません。
Occasionally, customers ask about the origin of our shop name, "Hamagen." In fact, neither the second-generation owner nor the former landlady knows for certain. The name was chosen by the shy first-generation owner, who never gave a clear answer no matter when we asked.
In the local area of Mikawa, where the first owner is from, the fishing port is referred to as "hama," which means "beach" or "coast." The "hama" represents the source of sushi ("gen"). The first-generation owner was very particular about using local fish from Mikawa, so the shop name may reflect that sentiment.
そんなことを思い出しながら、夜明け前の一色港から船で佐久島へ。散策ののち引き返して西尾のカフェに行ってまいりました。西尾の抹茶クリームたっぷりで大満足でした。
Recalling those memories, I took a boat from Mikawa Isshiki Port to Sakushima at dawn. After a stroll around the island, I returned and headed to a café in Nishio. I enjoyed a generous serving of Nishio matcha cream, I left feeling satisfied and full!
