Sumida River Cruise, Tsukuda Ohashi 佃大橋

This is Tsukuda Ohashi.

A bridge hanging at 60 degrees against the quay.

This bridge was made the other place and brought here.

The place name “Tsukuda” comes from the island in Osaka, the hometown of the fishermen who migrated to this place from Osaka because they were lifesavers for the founder of old Tokyo or Edo when they lived in Osaka.

It is said that the preserved food “Tsukuda ni”, which is boiled seafood with soy sause, is originated from them, and there are many well-established shops selling "Tsukuda ni". “Tsukuda ni” is now popular as a cuisine of simmered seafood with sugar and soy sauce, but it was originally salt-boiled seafood.

「佃大橋（つくだおおはし）」です。

岸壁に対して60度でかかっている橋。

作って持ってきた。

「佃」という地名は、この地に移住した漁師たちの故郷・大阪の佃島に由来します。

魚介類を煮込んだ保存食「佃煮」は彼らが発祥とされ、佃煮を売る老舗が並びます。

「佃煮」は今でこそ、砂糖と醤油で甘辛く煮込んだものがポピュラーですが、元々は塩ゆでしたものだったといいます。
