Dining Room [Tsugaru no Aji] / 津軽の味 食堂部

 My wife told me she used to frequent this place when she was in elementary school. It's a small diner and snack joint called [Tsugaru no Aji]. It's located near the Aomori Prefectural Athletic Park, close to the public swimming pool. 

妻が小学校時代に良く行った場所と教えてくれた。青森県総合運動公園の近くにある「津軽の味・食堂部」。園内のプールが一番近くにある設備。

It has this very homey atmosphere and makes you feel like you've slipped back in time to the Showa era. 

店内は結構アットホームな雰囲気で昭和時代にタイムスリップした感じにもなる。



I probably didn't know at the time but the poster boys for the Seiko Avenue watch was Johnny's Entertainment rock band Otokogumi.

多分最初に行ったとき、セイコーアベニューの腕時計を宣伝しているのはジャニーズ事務所所属だったロックバンド男闘呼組だった。



I did a little research and discovered the the shop pictured in the black and white picture was a restaurant on Shinmachi Street near Aomori Station. The picture is from the 1940s and features a place called [Taishu Shokudo]. It appears the restaurant is still in business. It is currently called [Taishu Shokudo : Tsubo 19].
 
ちょっとインタネットで調べたところ、白黒写真で飾ってるのは昭和40年代、靑森駅前大通りにあった「大衆食堂」。店はまだ健在です。名前が「大衆食堂 十九坪」。



The shop does have that Show era atmosphere.

店内は本当に昭和時代の雰囲気を出してると思う。







I did eat one of their crispy frankfurters. That was pretty good. 

店のパリパリフランクを食べました。美味しかったよ。




Here's another thing that's been disappearing from view. A beer and liquor vending machine. 

これもまたまた珍しいもの。段々消えて行くビールとスピリッツの自動販売機。
