CALPICO tastes first love 2
2008-12-18
I actually saw CALPICO was sold in Maryland, too. I can't remember where it was, but it might be at Japanese grocery, Maruich in Rockville or Daruma in Bethesda. As I told you before, I thought it honorable thing to drink CALPICO. But my husband has a different memory for CALPICO.
According to him,,,,
It was in his elementary school days, so he was 10 or 11 years old.
He was playing at his friend Maruyama-kun's home. All members were 3 boys, included him.When they had a snack time, Maruyama-kun's mom gave CALPICO to them, but my husband was surprised at the sight.
Because....
CALPICO was served by one big bowl with 3 straws.
like this picture.
A Big Bowl of CALPICO どんぶりカルピス。うしろはオグリキャップ。
We are usually served something to drink by each glass, but Maruyama family seemed to have a bit different custom.Talking of a big bowl, it should be used for noodle with soup like this picture on your right. It's apparently unsuitable for serving something to drink, I think... And this action that sharing a glass of juice with someone and suck it through a straw is for couple.
Imagine the scene that 3 boys are sucking up CALPICO from same big bowl with slurping sounds.
He must have felt sweet sweet feelings of first love between boys with Big Bowl of CALPICO.
This story was more than 30 years ago at one downtown in Tokyo.
The big bowl of CALPICO is actually made by only water. I don't like to waste precious CALPICO.
カルピスを飲む。私の中では高貴な事。
だが、旦那のカルピスに対する思い出は違う様だ。 彼が小学生だった頃のこと。友達の丸山くんの家で遊んでいた。メンバーは旦那を含め３人の男子。 おやつの時間に丸山くんのお母さんがカルピスをごちそうしてくれた。だが、旦那はその光景に驚いた。なぜなら......
1つのラーメンどんぶりでカルピスが出されていた。 ストロー３つ付き。
通常、飲み物ってそれぞれのコップで用意されるものだけど、丸山くんの家は違った。
どんぶりと言えば、ラーメンとかそういうものに使うものであって、あきらかにジュースをサーブするには不向きなんじゃないかと私は思うんだが...。それに、１つの飲み物をストローで一緒に飲む行為は恋人達がやるもんじゃないのかと。
想像してみてください。
３人の男子が、チューチューと同じどんぶりからカルピスをすする場面を。
旦那は、どんぶりカルピスで初恋のあま〜いあま〜い味を男子同士で経験したに違いない。
３０年以上昔、東京のとある下町にて。
あ、どんぶりの中はただの水です。どんぶりカルピスを再現してみようと思ったけどもったいなくて......。
