I would like to introduce “TANTO TEMPO” in Hayama, where you can find authentic Italian food 🙌.
I remember being impressed when I came across this shop when I was into Italian food.
The store is reminiscent of an Italian alimentari (grocery store) and is filled with specialty foods for the enjoyment of visitors.
The store caters to a wide range of customers, from specialty vendors to local shoppers.
It is a great place for those who cook for themselves, those who enjoy a glass of wine with ham and cheese, and those who want to take out an authentic panini for lunch.
It is the best Italian alimentari in Hayama!
『TANTO TEMPO』
Location
Tanto Tempo is located on the mountain side of Hayama, a short distance from the ocean. It is located in a corner of the city, not far from Morito Beach and Zushi Station.
Parking for three cars is available a short distance away, making it very convenient.
There is no station in Hayama. The nearest station is Zushi Station. There are 10 parking lots for cars, so access is easy. Please note that the parking lot is hilly and narrow in places.
Establishment
Tanto Tempo” opened in 2004, and this year marks the 20th anniversary of its establishment! It is wonderful.
Introduction of the store
The store offers a variety of Italian-style foods such as olive oil, pasta, balsamic, anchovies, etc. Cured ham, salami, and cheese by weight are popular, and you can buy one type in small quantities at reasonable prices.
The specialty store also offers a lineup of homemade Italian delicacies and desserts.
I’m insanely happy to have a specialty store like this in Hayama💦.
Once inside the store, you will find the compact store packed with products. The excitement never ceases to build as you see a lineup of rare and unusual foodstuffs that you would not normally see in everyday life.
The showcase in the front of the store is filled with cured hams, cheeses, and prepared foods.
The cured hams and cheeses are not easily available in supermarkets around here.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) is currently suspending imports of pork and other products from Italy, which has led to a shortage of Italian products. Even so, the selection was more than sufficient.
My husband is addicted to making pasta after watching Chef Ogura’s Italian cooking course given by Youtube, and he uses “pancetta”, which is not sold in supermarkets. He was so happy to find a specialty store so close by!
I was also able to find Italian peppers and peperoncino, which are hard to find in supermarkets. I don’t know how many supermarkets I had to go through before I found this store.
I buy Parmigiano-Reggiano, a staple in Italian cuisine, at this store and sprinkle it lavishly over my pasta. It is the best.
Many specialty ingredients are available in addition to the weighted items. Anchovies and squid ink paste are also available. You don’t see this in normal Japanese food shop.
You can also choose from a wide variety of balsamic, vinegar, and olive oils.
Capers, also delicious in pasta and salads. The other day I put it in a potato salad. It was delicious.
Side dishes Desserts Take-away food
Tanto Tempo also offers a wide variety of homemade side dishes and desserts. The manager told me that they have a separate place nearby where they process their ingredients and make them by hand.
The menu includes a variety of salads such as salsa and pickles, dry curries, lasagna, and other side dishes.
And then there are the sweets. There are puddings, panna cotta, scones, cheesecake and tiramisu, all delicious.
And I am happy to say that they are reasonably priced.
Panini takeout is available! This time I bought a prosciutto ham panini!
The panini was filled with a large portion of prosciutto. The bread was too big to eat in one sitting. I had the panini baked again, so the surface of the bread was crispy and the generous amount of prosciutto ham had a nice salty flavor.
There are good hiking trails in Hayama nearby, so I think buying a panini and having a picnic on top of the mountain or at Morito Beach would be a great way to spend your time in Hayama.
