What is the AKB of Sushi? Tomochika and Reiji on the sightseeing train Hanamenorin at Omemachi Market 【Kanazawa Topics】

In the third week of the special edition of 『Tomochika and Reiji’s Delusion Train』 (BS Nittele), in which travel-loving Tomochika and railroad enthusiast Reiji Nakagawa travel with guests, they took a real train ride on the Hanayomenoren sightseeing train running from Kanazawa Station to Wakura Onsen, visiting famous spots such as Omimachi Market on November 28.

Reiji at a sushi restaurant, 「Give me an AKB!」

The group visited Omimachi Market, the “kitchen of Kanazawa citizens,” located in the center of Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. While we were enjoying the Nodoguro and other fish at a sushi restaurant, Nakagawa family member Reiji mysteriously ordered, 「Give me some AKB!」 Reiji Nakagawa-ke ordered mysteriously, 「Give me AKB!」 What do you mean?

At Omimachi Market, they have named 「sweet shrimp, crab, and yellowtail」 as 「AKB」 and put them on the menu.

To our surprise, in December 2012, the market tweeted 「At Omimachi Market…AKB」 in the past.

That year, 『Gingham Check』, centered by Yuko Oshima, who came in first in the 『AKB48 General Election』, won the Japan Cable Awards for Excellence in Cable Music. Atsuko Maeda’s song 『Manatsu no Sounds good !』 won the Japan Record Award, and for a while, 「Give me AKB!」 was the most common response for a while.

Since then, the 「AKB」 menu has continued to be offered, and many people seem to order it.

What is the sightseeing train Hanayomenoren?

The name 「Hanayomenoren」 refers to the traditional culture of presenting a bride with a goodwill on her wedding day, and was chosen as the name of the train with the happiness of the passengers in mind.

The train’s exterior and interior design is based on the concept of 「hospitality with harmony and beauty」, and the hospitality provided by attendants dressed in kimono under the supervision of the Kagaya Group, which is headquartered in Wakura Onsen, Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is outstanding.

There were many tweets about the sightseeing train Hanayomenore on the Internet, indicating its popularity.
