ふれあいと笑いと優しさに満ちた、自由気ままな旅番組「ウドちゃんの旅してゴメン」。
いつもながらのゆる~い空気を大切に今日もどこかで旅を続けています。
放送17年目に突入した2020年。毎年恒例の年明け一発目の「冬の〇〇シリーズSP」も10回目!
今回の旅の舞台は「冬の三河湾」と題して抹茶で有名な六万石の城下町の愛知県西尾市からスタートし、うなぎ養殖の一色町や吉良上野介ゆかりの町・吉良町、そして竹島水族館や深海魚グルメで知られる蒲郡市などの三河湾エリア。
今回のシークレットゲストは、弾けるような笑顔がまぶしい俳優・佐藤隆太さんと、豪快な神スイングで知られる稲村亜美さん。2人の登場に、のけ反るほど驚くウドちゃん。
西尾駅前付近はウドちゃんが過去に4回訪れていますが、実に5年ぶり。記憶を探り探り旅をはじめます。
まず最初に訪れたのは、過去4回のうち毎回訪れている「ピザ&ステーキ・あい」。ここは昭和レトロな佇まいで、アンティークを収集している優しいご主人に癒されてきました。
ご主人に別れを告げ、歩いていると隆太さんが気になった「フレーバーコーヒー」という可愛らしいキャラクターの看板のお店へ。このお店は自家焙煎したコーヒー豆を販売するだけでなく、独自の見解で抽出の仕方までこだわる、可愛い看板からは想像もできないほどのマニアック店主のお店でした。そのお味も驚くほどの美味しさに3人もただただ驚くばかり。隆太さんが気になり、ふらりと立ち寄ったお店でしたが、コーヒーだけにその奥の深さに感動すら覚える3人でした。
西尾市はお茶の町ということで、せっかくなのでお茶やお茶スイーツをいただきたいと、聞き込み。西尾城跡である歴史公園近くにお店があると聞いて向かいます。しかし、この日はお店が定休日。残念な気持ちを一変してくれたのが、公園内にある時計台。この時計台にはご当地ソングが数種類収録されていて、ボタンを押すと流れるシステム。「西尾小唄」や「茶摘み音頭」などがある中で、何気なく押したのは「西尾でLaLa」というタイトル。
体が自然にリズムにのって、3人ともノリノリ状態!一気に気分を楽しくさせてくれました。
通常のタクシーで三河湾方面である西尾市一色町へ向かい、観光案内所で教えてもらった「さかな広場」で食事をしようという事に。さらには、「トゥクトゥク」がその場所に来てくれるという事で一石二鳥な旅のプランが決まります!
3人はトゥクトゥクで西川さんおススメの浜辺に向かいます。少し冷たい海風を浴びながら海岸線を走るトゥクトゥク。
三河湾に太陽が沈みかけ、夕暮れの浜辺に到着すると、素晴らしい夕景の三河湾が待っていました。
まるで青春の1ページのような風景・・・。そんな風景にセンチメンタルな気分になったのか、初恋の思い出エピソードを話しはじめる3人。そして、最後に運転してくれた西川さんに話を聞くと・・・意外な?答えが返ってきて3人もびっくり!
西尾駅前からスタートして5年ぶりのお店「あい」に始まり、美しい三河湾を眺めながら「こい」の話で終わった、なんとも不思議な道筋の旅でした。
