Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

You can feel the sign of autumn from summer to autumn.

Well, I would like to introduce you to you.

I'm visiting here

It's been a long time since I came to pray for safe delivery on the Day of the Dog.

At that time, I found a cute thing that I didn't notice.

"It's a child treasure."

The puppy has a tail wrapped around it and a string attached to the mouth

It's like a mischief and adorable.

I'd like your mother's dog's loving face.

The gold ball around it is carved by Earthly Branches.

You should do wish while touching your zodiac sign.

This is called "Safe Child Care Kappa".

In addition to the baby kappa she holds,

There is also a cute child kappa on her mother's left shoulder.

There are a lot of flowers in the precincts.

It was full of tranquility that I couldn't imagine right next to the station or the road.

Will the walking season in Chuo-ku be in the future?

Suitengu, where you can enjoy a relaxing feeling.

 

 

 

 

Saturday, August 27 at Hamacho Park
I'm here! An event that I love.
Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival

I like Bon Odori, and I participate every year.

It takes place in two days, gold and soil, but Friday was canceled due to unfortunate weather.
Therefore, the power spent on Saturday day is concentrated, and everyone who participates is full of energy.
I'm ready to dance in a ruck.
On Saturday, it was neither rainy nor hot nor cold, and the occasional wind was cool and comfortable, and it was the perfect climate for Bon Odori.
There are a lot of fair corners, so I first thought I would exchange tickets to fair, which I wanted, but when I came
Yakisoba, dumplings, bread, etc. were sold out as soon as possible. We purchased oden, stewed, etc. to fill our hunger.

And at that time, the song of "Dancing Hero" was! Yes, I dance Bon Odori with a dancing hero.
This is one of the most popular songs for Norinori. Leave the juice and sweets I had in hand to the other side and make the dance circle!
men and women of all ages said, "If you don't dance, the summer will not end."
Not only yukata people, but also people dancing diagonally with their bags on the way home from work, OLs dancing with heels, and children.
Your face is really smiling, I like this atmosphere irresistibly, and I can smile.
The other party you can only see before is now dancing in the circle. It's the charm of Oedo Festival!

I think it's a wonderful Japanese culture where everyone dances one song together and dances together.

The last song was Chuo-ku Ondo "This is Edo Bon Dance" and the festival ended.

I think every time, but next year, I'm going to go in yukata this time.

Why don't you try to enjoy the atmosphere next year?
Let's! Bon Dance!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 

 

The four squares set up in the four corners of Nihonbashi.

In the open space of Otohime on the east side of Nihonbashi Kitazume, there is the statue of Otohime, whose name was derived.

 

Speaking of Otohime, there is a light image wearing a hagoromo and a light image.

This statue is made of stone, and is sitting in the throne dignifiedly like the daughter of Ryujin.

Are you beautiful?

No, no, it's ruined.

Even though it is close to God, you can measure the amount of money.

 

The throne, seagrass and the decorations of shellfish formed by the fish represent the sea of fertility.

 

But after all, I can't get a hard impression.

In the case of Ryugu Castle, it would be better to have a colorful palace.

At night, the gate is like the Odakyu Electric Railway "Katase Enoshima Station", and at night, the surroundings are gorgeously colored with LED lights, and the sea bream and the sister of Hirame flutter the flutters and dances. Ryugu Castle.

 

Oh, apparently, the stereotype of Ryugu escalated the delusion.

 

"The Port of Nihonbashi Ryugu Castle"

In the first place, this area was the Nihonbashi Fish Bank, which was responsible for the kitchen of the common people through Edo and Tokyo.

Fish from all over Japan, as well as fish from Edo-mae, are similar to the dance of Ryugu.

It's a lively appearance that there was "1,000 cars a day".

From the foundation of the Edo shogunate to the Meiji Restoration and to the relocation to Tsukiji during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, Nihonbashi Fish Bank continued its business for more than 300 years.

 

The monument of the birthplace of Nihonbashi Fish Market in front of Otohime's statue was erected in 1954 by people involved in the fish market.

 

The temperament of the fish shore, which aims to handle fresh fish, is an Edo kid full of stylish and insecutable spirits represented by Tasuke Isshin, who played an active part under the opinion of the world Hikozaemon Okubo. I created one shape.

 

To handle the fish to be delivered to the castle, Chiyoda's castle is the eyes and nose of the fish shore.

Edo Bay, which can be said to be the outer moat of the castle, and people on the fish shore where you can quickly go back and forth between diggings stretched vertically and horizontally.

The organized group will catch fish in front of Edo, but in the event of an emergency, it will quickly change into a role of a practical maritime security guard.

Is this too much thought?

 

Mullets (Ina) who protect Ryugu, jump in the waves.

 

 

 

At Aioi-no-Sato, which I introduced on the blog the other day, in addition to selling delicious bread from TSUKUDA bakery, Mr. Toyama, the director of the general facility, "I want to value the connection with local people," various events are being held.

One of them, I went to the Aioi Used Book Festival. I imagined a small used book exchange like a school bazaar only in the local area, but in fact I was surprised at a very full-fledged used book market! It is a used book city with a variety of quality and quantity, where unique used bookstores in Tokyo gather, and you can enjoy such used books in the neighborhood! And with my husband who loves books, I made a happy surprise voice.

(In the photo, right) A lot of books are lined up outside and inside, and I am excited.
　
　Purchased a total of 17 volumes of Torahiko Terada's complete collection for 1000 yen. A drug

The organizer is an organization called "Aioi Book Lab". I think it will be very difficult to plan and prepare, but the staff at the venue are running happily, and "events for people who like books by people who like books" It has been transmitted.

At the venue, in addition to selling used books, lectures, talks, workshops, and live performances are also held.

 　

A green curtain of morning glory on the terrace. While looking at the canal, eating delicious bread, feeling cool in the green curtains, opening the book you just bought ... It's the best time.

The next event of Aioi no Sato is "Great East Japan Earthquake Charity Event Aioi Noryoichi" to be held on September 10. Japanese music workshop, Miraiminyo live, charity match for student professional wrestling, inchki hand-circled organ (What is it?) Ogura live, used books market and various faces. Let's participate by all means!

 

 

 

   The Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival was scheduled at Hamacho Park on August 26 and 27, but it was canceled on the 26th due to unfortunate heavy rain.

　On the 27th, the intense heat and the number of visitors and liveliness were as if the two days were condensed in a day.

　In this festival, antenna shops in eight prefectures, mainly in the Tohoku region, have opened with the slogan "Ganbaro Japan!" After various events from 16:00, the Bon Dance Festival began at 18:35, and the dance circle became bigger and bigger. Many people other than yukata were dancing happily. Bon Odori ended at 20:50 at the end of the song "This is Edo Bon Dance" and the people who were dancing while listening to the sound of the drums and watching the people went to their return home with regret . I can't wait for the Bon Dance Festival next year.

 

 

 

Do you know the word "Lome Spa"?
Originally there was a romen (road noodles), and there was a noodle shop on the road surface.
It is a word that stands out, and it is the spaghetti version of it
It seems to be called "Lome Spa."
　Features are fast, cheap, and volume.
A junk spaghetti that is distinct from ordinary pasta
That's right.

In April this year, "Lome Spa" was located along Chuo-dori, near Shin-Nihonbashi Station.
The store opened. The name is "Lome Spa Barboa".
There are many office workers in this area, and lunchtime is always available.
It's full. However, the store is narrow and there are only 12 seats at the counter.
So I'm lucky if I put it in without line.

There are 6 kinds of spaghetti menu.
・Soy sauce mushroom (500 yen)
・Salt Basilico (500 yen)
・Napolitan (500 yen)
・Tarako　　　　(550 yen)
・Meat curry (550 yen)
・Bokkake (550 yen) ← (Gyusuji and konjac)

This month's special menu will be added to these.
It was "Umejiso" in August.

You can choose from the following four types.
・Average size 350g
・Large 500g
・Get 700g
・Mega scale 1,000g

The characteristic of spaghetti in this shop is "thick noodles".
It has a thickness of about the middle of ordinary spaghetti and grilled udon.
Fry the boiled pasta in a frying pan.
A little bit of scorched noodles add an appetite.

The conclusion I have made every day to conquer all the menus
At this price, this volume is extremely good for this taste.
It will be reasonable.
Other than Shin-Nihonbashi Station, the nearest station is JR Kanda and Mitsukoshi-mae.
It's good, so it's a shop you want to stop by when you go nearby.
