An event along the Sumida River Terrace, which became quite familiar in late September.
Riverside Autumn Festa.

The fifth year of this year was held on September 25 (Tuesday).

From Akashicho to Sakurabashi, there are four free water buses, announcements of children's drums, gifts of flower seedlings, and raffle.

In addition, there are many mock shops on the terrace full of liberation.

The annual baked steak, which is ashamed of Tsukiji's name, is baked one after another in the charcoal and charcoal smoke, which is proud of the beauty of the body.

This year, an Indian restaurant was also opened. The nan baked on the spot looked delicious.

In the evening, there are office workers who enjoy champagne and beer with tandori chicken and horse mackerel pickled in Nanban instead of children holding yo-yo.

It was a festival that everyone could enjoy, blowing in the autumn breeze.

 Recently, there are many tours to explore the back alleys of Ginza, not limited to historical women. Today, I will show you around the back alley of Ginza. Well, let's go 

 
There are many antenna shops in each prefecture in Chuo Ward, from Ginza 1-chome to 4-chome. Enter the alley between "Ginza Okinawa Shop" in Okinawa Prefecture and "Marugoto Kochi" in Kochi Prefecture. There may be a slightly fashionable stand bar where you come out, right?　When you enter the alley of Sachi Inari, you will find Japanese food and Ichijoji in Kaiseki cuisine. Next door is Mr. Fukugi Sushi.

On the right side of the alley is Italytei, which was founded in 1953.　The corner shop is the antenna shop "tau" in Hiroshima Prefecture, which opened on August 17. Go back on Yanagi-dori St. toward outer moat, pass in front of Hatsuko Endo beauty salon and move to Ginza 2-chome.

When you enter the alley opposite, you will find Bldg., ALBORE GINZA. There are a lot of restaurants. Turn left at the end and it's Cafe Bar Bistro Restaurant "Le chat souriant". This is a sister store of Ginza Lecan L'e crin, which opened in October 2011, and you can enjoy lunch on Weekdays for around 1,000 yen.　Today, after a round, I ordered a holiday lunch course ￥2,300, and enjoyed a very reasonable dish.

The opposite store is Restaurant Spain Bar "Vinuls". When I see the sign saying "I'm doing ice," a summer woman! Ice ☆Señorita, summer man! There was ice senyol. The oyster ice of lemon, strawberry and melon was 300 yen to draw. I went there later, but TAPAS was also delicious. Follow the alley and Nelson's Bar.　I wonder if it was this shop or next to you that could eat game such as venison. A gas lamp street out of the alley. On the right side is Aux amis de vins. Proceed along the Gaslight Street toward Marronnier Street. At the corner of Marronnier Street, Bottega VENETA. 

The next one is 2.　Please look forward to it.

Postscript: After passing through the alley between Eikuniya and Tiffany's building on Ginza Street, you will find the Y's Wine Gallery. There may be free tastings of wine on weekends. The left hand is an Italian-style drinking bar. I often go here. You can also enjoy snacks at around 300 yen for drinks.　If you head to the left, you will see the Yoneivir (Note 1) and Okuno Building. The Suzuki Building (Note 2) is near Miyoshi Bridge. Why don't you go on a journey to see the buildings built in the early Showa era? (Notes 1 and 2 are selected as Tokyo Metropolitan Historic buildings)

When you go out, don't forget Ginza Times and 100 points of Ginza.

"Kibun Tsukiji", which I was looking forward to what kind of shop it will be every time I pass through Tsukiji's out-of-office market, has finally been reopened!

The first thing to be surprised is the abundance of sweet fried chicken lined up in stores!
Shrimp and squid are lined with colorful items such as mushrooms, hijiki, corn, green onions, edamame, spicy burdock, kinpira, okonomiyaki, etc.

If you look a little at the side, you will see a demonstration sale of grilled chikuwa!
I'm stinged by a stick.
You're making it like this.
It's rare to be able to eat freshly baked food, so of course, get it.
I had you walk right away.
Of course, you can also eat other Satsumaage immediately on the spot you buy.

Unfortunately, the first day of the opening was unfortunate, but while watching the colorful items, I saw a lot of people wondering which one to choose.

As souvenirs, you can choose something that was delicious after eating, and if you are unsure, there are also "easy set", "greed set" and "variety set".
Shipment is OK, so you can buy a lot and send it out, saying "It's a souvenir of Tsukiji", or send it to a local acquaintance.

Walking around the city of Tsukiji has become more and more fun!

By the way, the annual Tsukiji Outer Market "Tsukiji Autumn Festival" will be held at the same time as "Nichikaichi" that started in April in connection with the 77th anniversary of the market opening, and will be held on Saturday, October 6 and 7 (Sun) It will be held for two days, but at this time, we will offer special gem! That's why I have to go there anymore!
　  

A Japanese restaurant that requires a reservation even during lunch on weekdays.
(I was disturbed last December)

There is a sticker at the entrance saying "I'm full of reservations today"!

The inside is not so large.

There are several types of lunch for 1500 yen only on weekdays.

From among them, we chose "Today's Seasonal Fish Lunch". The fish of the sea bream is boiled.
There was sashimi in the menu.
Today's sashimi was a raw fish that I was not good at, such as tuna.
When I consulted, I was able to change the menu.

First of all. This is a vegetable jelly. It's refreshing and delicious!
Tamagoyaki seems to be a service, but I'm so happy that it's so delicious!

And this shrimp sweet potato is a change menu of sashimi.
It was delicious.

And the main helmet boiled, Dawn Power! I'm scared of my face (laughs)
It was boiled to a good taste, and it was delicious with ginger.

Rice, soup and incense.

The dessert was pear and sweet boiled beans. Angen?

1500 yen is a great deal.

The 3rd floor of a non-conspicuous building on Ginza Gaslight Street.
It was a little hideaway lunch shop!
