Today we're going to Showa once again!

今天我們將要再次回到昭和年代！

This time in Tokyo where we're gonna be visiting a place called Kankome, which is a Dagashiya where they're selling very old and traditional candy from Showa period.

這次我們將來到東京拜訪一個叫做「神米」的地方。這是一間駄菓子屋，裡面專門販賣從昭和時代就暢銷至今的古老與傳統的糖果點心。

So let's go and meet Otousan and Okasan and eat some candy!

就讓我們趕快去拜訪老爸和老媽，然後品嘗些糖果吧！

Today we're in Nakano, an area known for its narrow streets filled with small Izakayas, bars and other fun establishments.

今天我們的目的地位於中野。這是一個以充滿了小巧居酒屋、酒吧和其他有趣設施的狹窄街道聞名的區域。

Nakano is one of the most densely populated areas in Tokyo.

中野是東京人口密度最高的地方之一。

However, it does give up a very homely vibe, especially when you visit the quieter market districts where small shops are just starting their day.

然而，它確實給了人一種非常溫馨的感覺，特別是當你身處安靜的市場區，小型商家才正要開始一天的工作時。

One of these is also a Japanese traditional snack store called Kankome.

傳統日本零食鋪「神米」便是這些商家的其中之一。

Kankome is run by Kinzaburo san, and his wife, Keiko san.

「神米」是由金三郎（音譯）先生與他的妻子恵子（音譯）女士所共同經營的。

As it is quite early in the morning, we are the first customers.

由於時間還早，我們成為了第一批顧客。

They welcomed us with smiles and interesting stories.

他們用溫暖的笑容和有趣的故事歡迎了我們。

Dagashiya, Japanese traditional snack store, originated in Meiji period.

駄菓子屋，也就是日本傳統零食鋪，最早起源於明治時代。

Dagashi stores used to be especially popular before the age of convenience stores.

駄菓子屋曾經非常的受歡迎，尤其是在便利商店出現之前。

At that time, young students would stop by after classes, and enjoy super cheap and tasty candy just for 10 yen a piece.

當時，年輕的學生們會在放學後順道前往，並享受一份只要十日圓，超級便宜又美味的糖果。

I think the rice pops in Slovakia are originally from Japan.

我覺得斯洛伐克的爆米香應該本來是從日本傳過來的。

We would take our own rice, roll it, when we let it explode, it becomes like that. - Really?

我們會用自己的米，一邊加熱一邊翻滾它，然後讓它爆炸之後，它就變成這樣了。 - 真的嗎？

When we take some corn there, it becomes like a popcorn.

如果放的是玉米，就會變成爆米花。

It's like a rice popcorn? - Yes, a rice popcorn.

所以這就像是米做的爆米花？ - 沒錯，米做的爆米花。

The Showa popcorn!

昭和爆米花！

Dagashiya store Kankome has been around since the 90s.

駄菓子屋「神米」自 1990 年代營業至今。

It started out as a rice selling shop, but due to the shortage of homegrown rice in 2005 that had people in panic, Kinzaburo san decided to change the business and aimed for something that had been missing in his district.

它最初是個米店，但由於 2005 年全日本因為國產稻米短缺而引發了恐慌，金三郎先生決定要改做別的生意，並將店面改成他的社區中沒有的店鋪類型。

Snack store.

那就是零食鋪。

The store next door is a rice shop, yet rice stopped selling as much as before.

我們隔壁是米店，可是米的銷量已經不如從前了。

But since the store has such wide space, I wanted to start something which is not in this arcade.

但既然店面的空間這麼大，我便開始心想要不要賣些這個商店街沒有的東西。

That was back in 1993.

當時是 1993 年。

1993?

1993 年？

So the snack store only has around 27 to 28 years of history.

所以零食鋪大概有 27 到 28 年的歷史了。

The rice shop on the other hand, I'm the 2nd generation, and now the 3rd, my child is running the business.

而在米店這邊我是第二代店主，現在則是由第三代的我的兒女在經營。

The rice shop has been running for nearly 90 years.

米店已經是將近 90 年的老店了。
