Nihonbashikabutocho is a mecca in the Japanese financial industry, where banks and securities companies are concentrated, including the Tokyo Stock Exchange. One part of this is the Kabuto-cho branch of Megabank Mizuho Bank.
The nameplate of "Bank Birthplace" is posted on the wall of the building.

 
If you follow the source of Mizuho Bank, the origin is (Daiichi Kangyo Bank ⇒ Daiichi Bank ⇒ Imperial Bank ⇒ Daiichi National Bank).

The Daiichi National Bank was founded in June 1873 by Eiichi Shibusawa (Tempo 11 to 6), a businessman representing the industry in the Meiji era, with the funds of Mitsui Gumi and Onogumi. This is the first bank in Japan that was founded in accordance with the Bank Ordinance (established in 1872).

In 1869, Eiichi Shibusawa, who received a resignation from the new government and a regular appointment of the Ministry of Finance's tax, decided to decline in view of his background as a former Shogunate, and decided to directly convey his intention, in order to directly convey his intention, he was a powerful person of the Ministry of Finance.
Visit a private residence at Tsukiji of Daisuke Okura and Shigenobu Okuma (Tempo 9-11).
However, we agree with the strong participation and enthusiasm of young Okuma in the formation of a new nation, and accept the entry.
For three and a half years, the ministry has been involved in the formulation of a number of policies, including the enactment of the National Bank Ordinance, but over the issue of budgeting, Toshimichi Okubo (Bunsei 13-11) led by Toshimichi Okubo (Bunsei 13) - May 1873, Shimono was Shimotsuke in May 1873.

Eiichi Shibusawa played a major role as a leader in the formation and promotion of the modern Japanese nation.

 

 

As you all know, there are many delicious shops in Chuo-ku.

It's natural that it's cheap and delicious. In addition to that, I would like to introduce you today

A shop that creates an environment where you can eat delicious food.

It's "Umaimonya."

 

At Umaimonya, smoking cessation, mobile phone, and perfume are prohibited.

For me who has a weak throat and is sensitive to smell, a non-smoking and perfume izakaya is a pub.

I'm really grateful and mobile phones are banned.

You can enjoy a quiet and delicious meal.

 

Even the most important dish is this amount and taste at this price? I am surprised

There is no doubt that you will do it. If you make less rice, it will make it cheaper.

There's also a good service.

 

 

It's especially popular these days, so I'll have plenty of time.

I recommend it.

 

"Umaimonya,"

Address: 1st floor of Tsukiji 2-10-5 Kotobuki Building, Chuo-ku

Phone: 3545-5455

 

 

 

It seems that the rainy season has not started this year until the time of the tray, and it is said that it is finally summer, it is said that it is cold summer etc. Do you enjoy the summer enough?

Every year, there are things that I do not care unless I eat it during the summer.

That's ... It is "Hojicha shaved ice" to eat in the coffee room on the second floor of "Morinoen" in Ningyocho amazake Yokocho!

Shiratama is also plain & hojicha flavor, hojicha jelly, tsubuan, hojicha ice cream, and 'Tokyo Monaka', which had not been until last year (this is also sold in boxed and seems to be very popular) It has been topped.

 There is also "matcha shaved ice", and the year-round menu has attractive sweetness such as "hojicha parfait", "matcha parfait", "anmitsu", etc.

As a matter of fact, there is also a popular menu for hot parties.

It is a green beer called "Matcha Beer", which is a mixture of beer and matcha, but on the day we interrupted, in about 30 minutes, three sets of fathers with families said, "I came to drink this." "

The tea "Specially Green Tea" that we served together was also very delicious.

CHANEL (Chanel) Ginza's secret ... I'm sorry to surprise you.

Ashamed, I'm not so interested in brand products, but my friend works for CHANEL.

She says, "The Ginza building of CHANEL is full of wonderfulness and even fans who love CHANEL very much don't know it, and I want more people to know it."

I was always begged to want you to take it up on the correspondent blog of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

The LEDs on Chuo-dori and Marronnier Street are lit every day from evening to 1:00 the following day in the CHANEL building.

・・・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ The appearance of seasonal animations (fireworks etc. in August) is monotone like CHANEL and is projected every moment without disturbing the neons of other buildings, while still quiet, I can feel the style.

The 1st to 3rd floors are BOUTIQUE you know.

On the 4th floor, there is an event space "NEXUS HALL", which not only collections and new presentations, but also general public can participate for free (application system, lottery if there are many applications) Concerts and photo exhibitions. Events are also being held.

Then, there are many people who know the 10th floor ...?

It is "BEIGE ALAIN DUCASSE TOKYO" with the famous Michelin star.

It's amazing to think that you can touch the taste of Alan Ducas without going to Paris or Monaco in the middle of Ginza.

Until a while ago, restaurants and cafes run by brand stores and designers stores were said to have good taste, but recently we have invited talented chefs and patissiers ... ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・

　Today I went to Kabukiza Theater for the first time in a long time.

Kabukiza was destroyed by the Great Air Raid in May 1945 during the war, but the current Kabukiza was rebuilt in January 1951.　I'm 58 years old.　After the performance until April 2010, it will be rebuilt due to aging.　It seems to be a new building, but it seems that the taste of the current front entrance will be left.

　Why don't you go to the current Kabukiza Theater?　You can see it in one act.

　I've seen Junichirou Tanizaki's "Okuni and Gohei" for 50 minutes of the first act.　

　I would like to introduce the performance in September.

　One act, 50 minutes, 800 yen.　I would like to focus on the play I want to see, or during meetings.

I recommend it before a drink.

　The ticket office is slightly on the left side of the front.　

 

 

On the west side of Ichiishibashi Minamizume, there is a "Ishishishirube", but at the bottom of this front, a "no"-shaped benchmark sign is engraved (arrows in the photo, round marks). It is difficult to see in the photo, but it can be read clearly in the real thing, so please check it. 

This is called the "ki-go benchmark" and is a British-style survey point conducted by the Ministry of Interior around 1876 (1876), where the shape of the sign is similar to a desk, it is said to have been called "desk = meticulous" because of its shape.

At that time, in addition to independent markings, the benchmark was engraved on permanent buildings or stone structures, similar to the word "non". According to the survey, the altitude was measured by applying a survey device to the horizontal bar. In English, it is called "Bench mark". As a reference point, the water level mark of Reiganjima was set to zero meters. 

These signs were installed in various places, but after that, the surveying method was changed and it was no longer used. However, there are still some traces of this history. Well-known places are located on the road side and lower sides of remain Ishigaki, Takanawa Okido, National Route 15 in Minato-ku. You need to be careful about passing cars because you can't see it unless you go on the road. 

This "Losting Stone Mark" is It is said that it was built in Designated Cultural Property, Tokyo in 1857 by a townspeople in Kawagishicho, Nipponbashinishi. The front of the pillar is engraved as "Mitsuyo Hiko no Shirube", the right side is "Shishi", and the left side is "Tazuru", and the upper part is hollow. . A message board that puts a paper describing the characteristics of a lost child or inquirer in a depression and informs the inquirer. It tells us that it was a place where people gathered with lots of traffic. Similar ones have "Kienhyojinseki" in Yushima Tenjin.

The current location where the monument is built is the outer moat edge, which was reclaimed after the war, so it used to be located on the east side of Minamizume, but it was relocated for highway construction.

The main pillar of Ichiishibashi beside the stone mark is a cultural property of the central inhabitant of the ward. It is a valuable modern Cultural Heritage.
