Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

There's a little more this year. It's time to look back on the year.

I like the busy preparations for the New Year, and I like to take a break while watching the sunset sky of New Year's Eve.

And the pleasure of New Year's Eve is "New Year's Eve Soba".

In the first place, I love soba, and if I don't eat it for a while, I miss it as sexy, but New Year's Eve soba can give another real pleasure. It has a unique taste because there is no feeling of chopping the reflection of the year gradually on the chest and the feeling of excitement waiting while waiting for the new year approaches.

 

Of course, it is good to enjoy soba at each home, but it is also good to get a certain taste at your favorite shop.

There are many famous soba shops in Chuo-ku, but this time, let's visit the soba shops around Nihonbashi Muromachi 4-chome to Nihonbashi Honishicho 4-chome.

　

There is a street on the way from Shin-Nihonbashi Station to Kanda Station.

There are a lot of soba shops and ramen shops, and it is a fun area for noodle lovers. There are many long-established stores, chain stores, and unique stores with many fans.

One of the most typical examples is the Muromachi Sandbox. It is a long-established store that is popular among sandbox-style shops. I also visit occasionally when I walk around Nihonbashi. The inside of the store is quite large, but it is always crowded with many customers.

Let's take a look at the history of soba in Edo just in case. Originally, it seems that soba was eaten like "soba scratching", but it is said that "soba cutting" began to spread around the end of the Sengoku period. It is said that soba shops began to be built in the town of Edo around the end of the 17th century. And it seems that it spread throughout the town of Edo in no time.

By the way, it is said that the name "sandbox" originated from the fact that there was a delicious soba shop near the place where construction sand was originally placed at the time of the construction of Osaka Castle, and it came to be called "sandbox". I am. Later, "Sandbox" advanced to Edo, and "Yabu Soba" was born from that trend. In addition, there is a flow of soba shops originating in Shinshu, which means that this is connected to the current "Sarashina" system.　

By the way, it is strange that Osaka, the birthplace of the sandbox, currently has no sandbox headwater, and there are quite a few shops called Sarashina.

 

Soba often appears in Edo Rakugo. I remember what the deceased predecessor, Bunji Katsura, was saying before his birth. "Edo kid tee doesn't mean eating soba. Soba enjoys the throat, so it's true that "Taguru" is true. It was said that it was a wildfire to use toothpicks after eating at a soba shop. "　　

 

Well, I just want to eat it as I like, but I'm looking forward to seeing the delicious "New Year's Soba" even though it doesn't suit me.

We hope everyone will enjoy the New Year's Eve food event. And please have a good year. I look forward to seeing you again next year.　

 

 

  Today, I would like to introduce Bacana Ginza, a restaurant of Brazilian cuisine "Shrasco".

There are several Churrascaria in Tokyo, but this is the only place in Chuo-ku.

I would like to introduce you to the food and a fun group, and the back of her is "Salad Bar".

Schlasco cuts big meat, so you receive it with tongue.

And those who suddenly hear the rhythm of samba and start dancing cheerfully

 

See you again! As it is today's guest's birthday, a cake present from the shop

　

Do you have any other fun shops like this?　Please enjoy international food in Ginza.　

Desert using the dessert coconut milk and fresh fruits were also very delicious.　

By the way, she walked back to Ningyocho to consume calories.　

Click here for more information about the store.　On New Year's Day 3 and 4 when the surrounding shops are closed, it seems to be particularly advantageous. http://bacana-ginza.jimdo.com/

 

 

 

I could see Yokohama Landmark Tower reflecting the morning sun from Chuo-ku in early morning. It's a building that shines vertically across ridgeline on the left side of the Teppen on the pillar of the Rainbow Bridge in front.

The sun sank in the mountains of Tanzawa, and the buildings on the ground glowed. In the sky, which retains its blueness, the thin crescent moon and the evening star are shining.         

 

If you look more closely, the contour lines are also shining in the dark part of the crescent moon. The color gradation that follows blue, white, yellow, orange, vermilion, red, and black from the top reminds us of Hiroshige's ukiyo-e. I think it's finished well today.

       

Looking west, the Tokyo Tower stands sharply down overlooking the area. This color scheme of the tower is a design of normal times.          

 However, on Christmas Eve the other day, I was dressed in fashionable costumes as shown in the photo below.

   

It's getting darker. The lighting of the Rainbow Bridge has also increased its brightness. At the government pier at Harumi Wharf in the foreground, a four-mast sailing ship "Kaiomaru" stretched a light bulb on the mast to enhance its presence.

     

 

 

At the end of Christmas, the city's outfit creates a Japanese atmosphere that welcomes the New Year.
But when it's still lonely to say goodbye to the illuminations of the holiday season, please come to Tsukuda Park. One corner of Tsukuda Park where I live is colored with blue and white illuminations at this time.
   

Because it is a residential area, it is not a lot of gorgeous light like a commercial area, but because there are few traffic, you can quietly enjoy the clear air and light of winter.

You can also have a meal at the restaurant after the night walk. "Café & Restaurant Reage" has different menus depending on the time of day, and there is also a buffet at lunchtime. The picture is in the daytime. The tree on the left is an olive tree. The right hand is a hedge of roses, and the beautiful rose flowers are in full bloom several times a year.

Speaking of Nanao's monitor, about 17 years ago when I started running a computer.
It was a reputable manufacturer, such as being used by professionals and being used by streets.

When I bought only a monitor in 2000, I bought another company with a focus on design.
In 2007, the EIZO FlexScan S2031W was replaced.
By the way, EIZO is the brand name of Nanao.
I've been using it all the time without any complaints.★

So, when I was wandering around Ginza, I found EIZO's gallery on Showa-dori!
For me of EIZO rubber, I have to go there! I finally went, thinking.

EIZO Galleria Ginza

　

There are a lot of different monitors.
The staff gave me a lot of explanations in detail.

This monitor has a shading hood.
It seems that Ghibli's studio uses this monitor.
There was a magazine that featured the scene.

　

This is for medical use. It seems to be a dedicated monitor for viewing X-rays and CT scans.
Of course, it is valuable because it cannot be seen normally.

By the way, there is a hospital on this building where the husband of Pinko Izumi is located.
He seems to be using this monitor.

Also, a monitor that supports the touch panel. This is less than 70,000! It's cheap!

However, when operating with a touch panel, it is easier to operate with a petan on the monitor down~
When I think, I fall down like this (laughs).

　

It seems that the recent EIZO monitor can be reclined quite behind, but it seems that it can be reclined considerably.
I couldn't do the type I had because it was an old type with legs V (>_<).

In addition, the next-generation trading system solution with four monitors arranged vertically.
The keyboard was also a dedicated keyboard, and it was a great system.

　

My husband's personal computer also uses the LCD monitor that I used before to make it a dual monitor.
I bought a touch panel monitor because the previous monitor was a CRT.
I'd like to make it a larger computer desk and a dual monitor.

Photo exhibitions and seminars are held on the second floor.
Seminars include seminars to enjoy photography more.
There are various basic knowledge of selecting a monitor, and it is free.
There are also seminars that can be taken on the Internet (* ^^*)

I would like to take a seminar to reduce fatigue and stiff shoulders.

The EIZO monitor seems to be designed to reduce fatigue and stiff shoulders.

"What I want to do during 2011."

It's the year of the year that we welcome every year, but there are many middle roads ...

 

Oh, yes.

The time passed with my wife's "Monjayaki, I've never eaten" and "Neverely."

Well, let's go on with you this year.

 

Monjayaki.

We compete for taste and taste in various places in downtown Tokyo, but let's head to Tsukishima, where many specialty shops are lined up.

Nishinakadori Shopping Street in Tsukishima, Chuo-ku is commonly known as Monja Street.

Going up the 7th entrance at Tsukishima Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line, the store is already on the way.

On the east side of the street is Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association, where you can get a guide map of Monjaya.

 

From the subway ticket gate, people who are willing to eat will aim for their respective stores, so it is interesting to follow them.

 

We chose the store because of the atmosphere that would teach the store preparation and even beginners carefully.

"I'm eating for the first time ..." and "I'm okay," said the husband's gentle voice.

Hold your hand to confirm that the temperature of the iron plate has become sufficiently hot, and cut it small with two spans while frying ingredients centered on Shaba and cabbage.

When it becomes soft, make a bank with ingredients and pour half the sauce.

Once the bank is sticky, add the remaining sauce and season with the sauce.

Break the bank and spread it over the entire iron plate.

Attach it quickly and carry it to your mouth while holding it with a small spat that eats monja called "peeling".

 

"Monja has a thin taste, so it changes to any taste," said the owner.

It takes seafood and meat into simple food only.

My wife said the rice cake is good.

I ate Hafu because the curry taste was interesting.

 

Monja evolved from children's snacks to food that can withstand the taste of adults.

What kind of growth do you expect from now on?
