マグロの解体ショーを楽しむ　 Enjoy the tuna dismantling show

マグロの解体ショーが海鮮酒場「魚盛・西宮ガーデンズ店」であるという連絡をもらったので孫と一緒に出かけた。GWということもありガーデンズはかなりの人出、飲食店が並ぶ4階もかなりの行列ができていた。
 
I was informed that the tuna dismantling show was at the seafood bar "Uomori Nishinomiya Gardens", so I went out with my granddaughter. Because it was GW, there were quite a lot of people in Gardens, and there were quite a few lines on the 4th floor where restaurants were lined up.

 
解体ショーは、子供たちを含め多くの人出で賑わいをみせた。静岡焼津漁港で早朝に水揚げされた「ミナミまぐろ」で65㌔もある大物。解体には、大阪の魚盛他店からの料理人さんたちが集まりお客さんの目の前で解体がスタート。
魚市でよく聞く鐘を鳴らしながら解体の解説。料理人さんが一つ一つの部位を切り終えるごとにお客さんから拍手がわく。お祭り感覚の進行に子供たちも大喜び。
 
The dismantling show was crowded with many people, including children. The "Southern Bluefin Tuna" landed early in the morning at the Shizuoka Yaizu fishing port is a big fish weighing 65㎏. For the dismantling, chefs from other Uomori stores in Osaka gathered and the dismantling started in front of the customers.
Explanation of dismantling while ringing the bell that is often heard in the fish market. Every time the cook finishes cutting each part, the customers applaud. Children are delighted with the progress of the festival.

65㎏のマグロをお披露目

切り落としホッと笑みがこぼれる

 解体が済むと、中骨の周りに残っている肉、いわゆる中落ちが振舞われ賞味。新鮮なマグロだけに脂が乗って絶品だった。その後は、予約していた席で解体したマグロの刺身などをいただいた。やはり活魚はうまい一言である。 

After dismantling, the meat that remains around the middle bone, the so-called nakaochi, is served and tasted. Only fresh tuna had fat and it was excellent.After that, I received tuna sashimi that was dismantled at the reserved seat. After all live fish is a good word. 

孫が撮影したトップの写真とメニュー写真

この写真の幾つかは、孫(7歳)の撮影によるもの。なかなかの腕前にびっくり、新鮮な感覚で爺さんとしては嬉しいかぎり。 

Some of these photos were taken by my granddaughter (7 years old). I was surprised at how good she was, and I was happy as an old man with a fresh feeling.
