If you pass through the back street of Ginza, just beside the Kabukiza Theater, which is undergoing renovation, you will find the ryokan "Yoshimizu".

It has a humble appearance that seems to be overlooked if you are inadvertent, but it shows a solid presence.

I used to have a meal here and have visited a screening of independent films. It's a very clean atmosphere.

This ryokan is actually famous as an "organic hotel". Using organic materials, such as meals made of natural materials, building materials and bedding inside the building, it feels like an oasis in the city. It seems to be very popular with foreigners.

There is such a wonderful spot in Chuo Ward. I'm glad.

Based on the concept of Nihonbashi Revitalization Plan, "COREDO Muromachi" will open across the Mitsui Main Building on Chuo-dori, as the first building of Nihonbashi Muromachi East District Development.

I think I'm very interested in it, so I'll give you an overview of it.

As you may know, the naming of "COREDO" is a coined word that combines "CORE (center)" and "EDO (Edo)" and means "Edo" That's right.

It became a hot topic when COREDO Nihonbashi opened in 2004 in the skyscraper "Nihonbashi 1-chome Building", an example at the intersection where Eitai-dori St. and Chuo-dori are mixed.

The building with this "COREDO Muromachi" is officially called the "Muromachi Higashi Mitsui Building" and is a complex consisting of 22 floors above ground (height: about 100m) and 4 floors underground office, commercial and multipurpose halls.

This building will start construction in December 2008 and will open in October after two years.

During the construction work, a large message was written on the construction fence as shown in the photo on the left.

The opening schedule is as follows.

Friday, October 1: Muromachi Higashi Mitsui Building opened

Thursday, October 28: The commercial area (1F to 4F) of "COREDO Muromachi" opens.

The Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall (5F-6F) opened on October 30 (Sat.), opening ceremony

On the first floor, in addition to long-established stores such as "Ninben Nippon Hashimoto Ten" and "Nihonbashi Kiya", Kanazawa foil specialty store "Hakuza Nihonbashi", which will be opened for the first time in Tokyo, cafe Brassley Patisserie "Eymet Vibert" and ATM (Mizuho Bank, Chiba Bank) will be opened.

On the second floor, there are fish dishes such as Kinoshige Nihonbashi, a popular Chinese chef Kenichi Chin's Sichuan restaurant.

On the 3rd floor, there are bistro "BISTRO Ishikawa-tei", where you can line up, and "Yonesho", a Japanese food with rice as the leading role.

On the 4th floor, there is an Edo-mae sushi "Shimon", which is associated with the Nihonbashi Fish Bank, and the entrance lobby of Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall is opened.

 

On the first basement floor, there is a subway "Mitsukoshi Station" contact gate, but "Taro Shobo" and choled information "Nihonbashi Information Center" will open.

Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall is a large multi-purpose hall directly connected to the station in the Nihonbashi area (maximum number of 1,000 seats, 650 theater-type, 700m2), which can be used from businesses such as conventions and exhibitions to entertainment such as live music and theater.

 

Opened on October 30 (Saturday), as a “Kokera drop ceremony”, “Sanbaso Dance” by Koshiro Matsumoto and Somegoro Ichikawa, supervised by Koshiro Matsumoto, and fashion shows The world's first "Kabuki x Fashion Show" will be held in collaboration with Yoshio Wakatsuki, who produces and produces.

 

 

It is the birth of a new attraction in Chuo-ku. It will play a role in revitalizing Nihonbashi.

By all means, why don't you visit this opening opportunity?

 

The first step of "Nihonbashi Muromachi East District Development" is COREDO Muromachi introduced here, but as shown in the first figure, the construction of a new building and the "Edo Sakura-dori St.", a row of cherry blossom trees from the Bank of Japan, as shown in the first figure, will be extended, and the area around "Fukutoku Shrine", which will be relocated from "Muromachi Fukutoku Juku", will continue in the future.

 

As depicted in the "Kidai Shoran" of the Edo period (it is displayed on the underground passage of the subway Ginza Line, I think many people have seen it ...) It seems that you can expect further liveliness and liveliness in the area.

 Delicious, oishii ... I found a tofu shop.

Founded in 1907, Futaba Shoten in amazake Yokocho, Ningyocho.

At first, it seems that it was the main subject, starting with "Ganmodoki", but now we mainly deal with more than 30 kinds of products, mainly tofu.

Of course, "Okara" and "Soy milk" ...

Tofu pudding, tofu donuts, fried tofu, and even croquettes ...

It is a croquette that does not use meat or potatoes.

On the main street, there were hot and cold amazake.

 Zaru tofu cuts the water of the material with a colander, so the tofu dough is hard and finished, and it feels dense.

The side dishes are "Okara" and "hijiki" and "beans", which are nostalgic for the past.

All of them are reasonable at about ￥300.

"Yuba" is also available.

There were "Ganmodoki", "Jumbo Cancer" and "Ginkgo Cancer" and I bought it home.

 "Ginkgo cancer with ginkgo" contained five ginkgo in one "cancer".

Futaba Shoten is located on the first floor of the Futaba Building, and the second floor is a "tofu-eat shop", where various tofu dishes are prepared.

He said that "tofu making" woke up at 4:00 in the morning is difficult in winter.

But it feels more delicious to buy tofu or eat tofu dishes at the shop of the creator.

There are many such fun shops in Chuo-ku.

Mr. Benmatsu, who visited in August, also learned that the president was making a lunch box, and became more and more fond of Benmatsu Bento.

At the Mitsukoshi Main Store, tofu from Futaba Shoten and Benmatsu's lunch boxes are also sold.

St. Luke's International Hospital is a hospital with a history founded in 1902. The current building, completed in 1992, has 520 beds and the average number of outpatients per day is 2,500.  

Since its establishment, the goal has been to provide patient-centered medical care and nursing under the spirit of Christianity.

In addition, it is said that in the event of a large-scale disaster, the function is temporarily expanded and medical treatment can be performed. (Three years after completion, it was regrettablely demonstrated in the subway sarin incident in 1995.)

As introduced in the "Rooftop Garden to Heal the Heart" on May 11, a rooftop garden with the theme of light and greenery is attached to the 6th floor.

At this time, the Tsurubara tunnel is fruitful (upper right photo), and it is not as gorgeous as the spring flowers are in full bloom, but it provides a place to relax with seasonal vegetation.

Concerts and health lectures are also held at the Toysler Memorial Hall on the 2nd floor.
