"Ningyocho Daishoken" closed with a history of 108 years!

● It's a sad news. The main store of Ningyocho Daishoken, which has been introduced several times in this blog, has been closed in February. ● Opened in Ningyocho in 1913 (1913), "China's cuisine Daishoken", along with cinemas, dance halls, restaurants, Meijiza, Yoseki Suehiro, Suitengu, etc. It can be said that it is one of the famous shops that flourished from the Taisho era to the Showa era in this area. 　It was a shop that filled the belly of husbands, entertainers, and regulars of smarts. And since the Heisei era, as a coffee shop, we have provided a moment of peace. ● On the day before the last day of February 28, I visited during a busy time, and this time again with Chieko Watanabe (92 years old), the fourth generation of Daishoken Main Store, and Yutaro Watanabe of the fifth generation I have come.

"Descent things" and "Descent things" ~ Rei Itsukushima and Shinkawa

● Speaking of "down goods" in Edo, it was the name of goods transported from "upper" by Hishigaki and barrel boats and landed in Edo Minato. Even daily necessities such as "downhill rice", "downhill water oil" and "downhill salt" came from "upside down". "Descent goods" means high-quality goods, so to speak, modern marine products = imported brand goods. 　On the other hand, "things that do not fall" refers to local products that cannot be said to be famous production areas, such as "Edo area" and "locally brewed sake". ● Shinkawa is the name of the canal that divided Rei Itsukushima into two. Mizuken Kawamura is famous for the excavation. On both banks of this canal, there were "downhill sake" cargo dealers lined up. And even now, the remnants can be seen.
