July 21st is the day of the ox. It is a famous story that Gennai Hiraga played a role in the establishment of "Ox Day and eel of the earth", but do you know how "Ox Day of the earth" is decided?

Doyo is the 18 days before spring, summer, fall, and winter, and the day of the ox during that period is called "Doyo Ox Day". (It's not only summer.) Therefore, depending on the year, there may be two Ox days during the earth, and this year's earth entry is July 20, so "Nino Ox" will be August 2 .

"I picked up Takebatei on" Ox Day "and it's not a story of eel! "It seems that Tsukkomi is likely to enter, but Takebatei is one of the long-established long-established stores founded in the late Edo period. "Unagi" is too famous, so I don't think I need to mention it now, and today I'll introduce "Taichazuke".

This is also a very popular menu along with eel. I had lunch from time to time when I was a worker. According to the information of the shop, this "Taichazuke" has long been popular with literary ink customers. It seems that it often appears in Kafu Nagai's "Shokutei Nijo".

Lunch time, which usually has a long line, can be easily put in due to the rain, and immediately pickle taicha. Sashimi-sized sea bream with sesame sauce and condiment wasabi and green onions, freshly cooked rice in a chest, and hot tea in sesame in a mortar is brought. I received a sashimi with 1 or 2 slices of sesame sauce, but the neighbor immediately started making ochazuke. I don't know. ・That's why I'll have 2 meals as a result.

The dessert is my favorite "Tofu Ice" (420 yen). I don't have a photo because the battery of the digital camera is gone. Don't be wrong. It is especially recommended for hot days when appetite drops.
