[O umbrella] August 6, 2010 09:00

Chuo-kuThis is the second half of the antenna shop (1). Introducing antenna shops in Kyoto, Nara, Shimane, Yamaguchi, Kochi, Oita, Kumamoto, Okinawa and OMAKE information. (The contents are information on shops that we looked around from July to early August 2010.)

 

The first half of the second half is the Kyoto Museum. As soon as you enter the entrance, you will see Kame Yara's Japanese confectionery "Ubatama" and the bean confectionery "Ichiyo Raifuku". In the back, there are many beautiful and elegant fans (sensu) and fan fans. There are plenty of sightseeing brochures.

 

Today's hall tcomp.jpgFor some reason, there was also a three-dimensional model of the crest of the Sakamoto family in Sakamoto Ryoma, "Union Kadoji Kikyo" (Kumi Aica Kogyo Kuni balloon flower), and the book corner also included the official text of the Kyoto Tourism and Culture Certification Test. The location is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit and faces Yaesu Street next to "Hokkaido Fudist".

 

This year (2010) is the 1300th anniversary of the birth of Heijo-kyo, and the 1300th anniversary of the relocation of Heijo-kyo was held mainly in Nara Prefecture. "Mahoroba" is sung in Records of ancient matters and Chronicles of Japan's waka, "Yamato (Wa) is the country's Mahoroba ...", an ancient word meaning "great place" or "livable place".

 

Mahoroba tcomp.jpgOn the table of the store, you will be greeted by the mascot character "Sento-kun" you know. In the shop, there are many sightseeing pamphlets along with "Yamato Vegetables", "Kuzu Manju", and sake. At the cafe on the first floor, you can eat "Kakinoha Sushi Set" and "Miwa Somen Set". The location is along Chuo-dori in Muromachi, opposite the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building.

 

At the Nihonbashi Shimanekan, Lake Shinji's `` Shijimi '' food, which is popular for miso soup and cooked rice, and dried fish caught in Shimane such as `` Nodokuro '', `` Urume Iwashi '' and `` Karei '' are popular. It seems that it is. In the back, we had an "Izumo Meiu Exhibition and Sale". Currently, "Gegege no Wife" is being broadcast in the NHK morning serial TV novel, but Shigeru Mizuki's wife's hometown "Yasugi-shiThere was also a light blue banner.

 

Nihonbashi Shimanekan tcomp.jpgNext to the store, there is a Japanese restaurant called Mondo, where you can eat Izumo soba and Shimane cuisine, and at the entrance there is a stall of 30-degree handmade ice cream "Celeb Tomato Ice" . Except in summer, it will be the original "Chichai Taiyaki" shop of Nakamuraya, Shimane. The location is along Chuo-dori in Muromachi, opposite the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Building.

 

"Oidema Yamaguchikan" has Shimonoseki Fuku (Fugu) for delicious steaks. In addition, there are plenty of alcoholic beverages such as Yamaguchi's famous sake "Dassai". Tourist brochures, paid "Takasugi Shinsaku", "Ryoma and Ryu Shimonoseki" and pineShimomuraThere was also a pamphlet about the cram school.

 

Come on Yamaguchi tcomp.jpgThe location is located on the first floor (north exit entrance) of Nihonbashi Plaza Building, which is the same as "Fuji no Kuni Yamanashikan". On the petit terrace in front of the north exit entrance of this building, there is a statue of "Jill" by Kyoko Asakura. (The "Jill" statue was featured in the "Kaishu" correspondent on June 12, 2009 in the "Corresist Blog")

 

"Kochi Market" is located in the Tsukiji Outer Market, and there was a lot of dry food mainly from the seafood caught in Kochi. There are also "River Shrimp Rusk", "Blue Nori Rusk", "Blue Nori Furikake" from Shimanto River, "Tosa Space Sake" and "Rice Shochu". There weren't so many sightseeing pamphlets in Kochi, but there were them. The location is near the center of Tsukiji Nakadori in the middle of the three roads running north and south through the Tsukiji Outer Market.

 

  Although it is "Zarai Oita", "Zarai" is a word derived from Taiheiki and means "Where is it", and the store name "Zarai Oita" says, "In Tokyo It seems that the idea is to "remember Oita far away and meet over time."

 

Oita tcomp.jpgWhen you enter the store, you can see the sake and other Oita products. It is also famous as a restaurant where you can eat Oita cuisine, and uses seasonal ingredients such as Bungo beef, Toyo no Shamo, and Bungo Channel's Seki Aji and Seki Saba. You can also enjoy cooking. In the next room, there is the "Ginza Oita Information Center", which sells sake and allows you to get sightseeing information. It is located on the 8th floor of Hulic Nishi Ginza Building on the corner of Sotobori-dori St. and Ginza Yanagi-dori St. It is just a building opposite the Ginza Watashi Shop, and the entrance is on the Ginza Yanagi-dori St. side.

 

At "Ginza Kumamotokan", a statue of "Yamaga Lightrou Musume" will be greeted on the table. Inside the store, there is a seasonal ingredients corner, where raw peanuts, asparagus, mini pumpkins, etc. are lined up. There are also "Yumeguro Kodama Watermelon", Decopon juice and jelly.

 

Ginza Kumamotokan comp.jpgKumamoto seems to be the largest producer of wooden candles in Japan, and there was a handmade "Japanese candle" made in Minamata. Of course, there is also a "Kuma Shochu" corner. On the second floor, there is a restaurant "ASOBI / BAR", where you can enjoy lunch using Kumamoto ingredients. The place faces Ginza 5-chome, Nishi-Ginza Dori (Sotobori-dori St.). It's next to Sony Building.

 

The last is the Ginza Watashi Shop, a specialty of Okinawa. "Washi" means "we" in the dialect of Okinawa. On the front, you will be greeted by two large Shisa with a humorous expression. In addition, in the table, there was a stall of roasted potatoes of "Redimo" in July, but in August, "Mango Fruit Shaved Ice" was sold at the stall "Ice Mango Cafe".

 

When you enter the store, you will find the popular "Mini Mango" and a small pineapple "Snack Pine". Agricultural products included "Abashigoya", "White Goya", "Shima Rakkyo", "Kinmi Ginseng", etc. In addition, there is also a vegetable slicer "shirishiriki", which seems to have increased the "grater" used when making radish grated. In the back, they sold freshly fried "Sata-Andagi". In the basement, awamori, old liquors, Kariyushiware, Sanshin, CDs and books were sold, and there was also a travel guide corner. The location is located on the corner of Ginza Yanagi-dori St. and Sotobori-dori St., and the front entrance faces Nishi Ginza Street (Sotobori-dori St.).

 

[OMAKE Information]

Marugoto Kochi opened on August 21, but the first basement floor is liquor, crafts, tourist information floors, and the first floor is food floors such as Kochi agricultural and marine products and Shimanto River specialty products. The second floor is said to be a restaurant floor that makes use of Tosa cuisine and Kochi ingredients. The place is Ginza 1-chome, facing Sotobori-dori St., next to "Ginza Washi Shop". By the way, what kind of products can you meet ... I'm looking forward to the opening.

Another thing is "JF Nagasaki Fisheryen" on Nami-dori Street in Tsukiji's out-of-market market. There are fresh fish lined up every day from Nagasaki Fishermen. In addition to seafood such as "sweet sea bream and shrimp surimi", there are also souvenirs such as half-life "Nagasaki Champon" and sweets. In addition, it seems that seasonal fish that arrive every day can be confirmed on the net.

It's amazing!

 

I've just introduced an antenna shop.Chuo-kuThere are so many antenna shops in the city, or at work.Chuo-kuIf you are commuting to work, I think that you can get the products of the antenna shop relatively easily, so please use it.

However, the antenna shop has different products lined up in the store depending on the season, and there are also thankful events such as irregular special exhibitions, spot sales, tasting and tasting, etc. I think it's good to go.Then, some people may not be able to return home for some reason, but when you go to the antenna shop, you will surely have something to remember your hometown. The antenna shop seems to play a role as a modern version of "stop" of "Let's listen to it in the crowds of the station with the accent of the hometown (Namari)" (Takuboku Ishikawa). (O umbrella (Oh))
