[Silver] April 26, 2012 08:30

I don't think the planting of the open space of the Asahi Shimbun is very famous, but it blooms wonderfully in spring.

As of April 21, Yae-zakura, Azalea and rhododendron are competing in the upper right corner.

Please take a look at the gorgeous appearance of rhododendron. Azalea is like a flower carpet after this.

[Nathaly] April 25, 2012 08:30

The cherry blossoms around the area have begun to fall, and the feeling of heading is Golden Week!sun

Speaking of Golden Week, I think there are many people who go outrvcar with their families.
You can also enjoy your leisure time at events held in the familiar Chuo-ku.
Detailed information can be found in the event information of the tourist association, but I look forward to it.
The event we are doing is Tsukiji Spring Festival, half price market!

2012_hanneichi.jpg

About 300 out-of-market stores sell only one item at half price.
It seems to be an annual event.
I'm planning to go for the first time this year.sign01
I bought a lot and eat it on this day ... I like Tsukiji very muchhappy02

Hyakukawa, a luxury restaurant in Ukiyokoji

[the end] April 24, 2012 08:30

On February 10, 1854 (1854), the first negotiations were held to conclude the Japan-US Peace Treaty.
At this time, he served Honzen dishes based on tradition with 2,000 cars.
Where was the famous restaurant that was written on the tile?

The answer is Hyakukawa, a luxury restaurant in Nihonbashi Ukiyokoji.
It was a problem that was issued in the Edo Cultural History Test last year.

Hyakukawa was formed around Meiwa and Yasunaga (1764-81).
In the Tenmei era (1781-87), it became a well-known Takufuku restaurant, and in the time of Bunka Bunsei (1804-30), it flourished as a luxury restaurant for Honzen cuisine.
The meal price for one person is the lowest price, and it is said that it is currently worth about 10,000 yen.

Hyakukawa was also closed down in 1868.
Between Muromachi 2-2 and 2-4, the opposite side of Mitsukoshi Main Store.
It seems that the place where Fukutoku Shrine is now is just the place where Hyakukawa was.
