This year, Ginza Restaurant Week will be held again, and during the period, famous luxury restaurants will have a meal with a meal before lunch, 3,000 yen, and dinner includes 10,000 yen tax service charge.　Today, I came to Escoffier, a restaurant founded in 1950.　A wonderful painting and rose flowers create a spacious dining space.

 

The appetizer is a hors d'oeuvres with smoked salmon and herbs.　The sauce is made with vinegar and pungent, and I was impressed with hummus. Next, seafood dishes of sea bream and shrimp.　The sea bream was moderately grilled and it was very delicious.

Next, today's main dish came out. Beef meat stewed with madeira wine. (The picture is for 2 people. The reason is that no one was sitting in the front chair. )　The meat was so soft and delicious that the cheeks of the person who really eats seemed to fall.

 

The last dessert and coffee.　This is also for 2 people.　It was said that the dessert coffee babaroa is a special specification for Ginza restaurant week.　This coffee babaroa was really delicious. It was the most delicious babaroa in my life.　This restaurant Escofier is also called a "joy lunch menu" and costs ￥3,990 (including tax and service charge).　It is an easy French shop that makes you want to come again.

Don't miss it !  Reported by Ginzo

 

 

 

　The London Olympics, which colored this summer. After the closing, the parade of British national players was filled with a great success of 1 million citizens. The Ginza Parade of the Japanese medalist was 500,000, so it's really here. Soseki Natsume (1867-1916) was the first Japanese who studied abroad in London. This time, I visited the relationship between this great writer and Chuo-ku.

　Soseki has no connection with Chuo-ku (Nihonbashi-ku + Kyobashi-ku), but there are three monuments in the ward. Both were built by an official at Waseda University near the birthplace of Waseda, and are located in a place related to Soseki's work.

①"The site of Masago-za, where the performance of Soseki" Cat "" Monument
　　(5-1 Nihonbashi Nakasu, 2003)

　　From January 1905 to August 1939, "I am a Cat" published in grayheaded cuckoo magazine became very popular and was performed in Masago-za from November 3 to 30, 1906 by Yoho Ii. (Soseki doesn't seem to be watching this stage.)

②"The Stage of Soseki Masterpieces" Monument
　(2005 Nihonbashi 1-4 Coredo Nihonbashi Annex Square)

　Before the earthquake, there was a vaudeville called Kihara store in a narrow Yokocho around this area, which appeared in "Sanshiro" and "Kokoro". Soseki himself loves rakugo, and he often visited when he was young.

③Monument of "Echigoya in Soseki"
　(Rooftop of Mitsukoshi Main Store, 1-4-1 Nihonbashi Muromachi, 2006)

　Echigo-ya kimono shop (Mitsukoshi) appears in "Michikusa" and "Hobby genetics". In addition, "Gobijinso Yukatachi" will be sold and it will be a great reputation.

　Born in Edo, Soseki of Tokyo. Nihonbashi and Ginza in the city center should have been very interested, and their works will feature many famous stores and long-established stores that continue to exist, such as Takebatei, Tenshodo, Shiseido, Meijiya, Maruzen, etc. You must have visited him many times.

　Looking at Soseki's diary, there is a description of taking a walk in Ginza like one day. In 1910, from June 18 to July 31, just before the so-called "Shuzenji Great Case", he was hospitalized at Choyo Gasin Hospital near Hibiya Park (the brother of Yoshiro Nagayo was the director), but one week before discharge It seems that he walked around Ginza every night. On July 28, he climbed to the roof of Tenshodo, and looked at his legs and felt like he was scooping. (In this hospital diary ... The unusual therapy of warming the abdomen with konjac heated for gastric ulcer treatment continues for two weeks, and the skin becomes fired, but the konjac fee is 15 per week It is said that you paid 25 yen. In addition, Takuboku Ishikawa, who worked for the Asahi Shimbun in Takiyama-cho (Ginza 6-chome), visited twice on July 1 and 5 for corporate purposes. There is a description.)

　Okura Shoten and Hattori Shoten, which published Soseki's success work, "I am a Cat", are located in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi wards, respectively, and probably have traveled several times. In addition, the Asahi Shimbun, who joined the company, was also in Takiyama-cho, so the relationship between Soseki and Chuo-ku seems to be unexpectedly deep. There may be a monument in the ward from now on.

　

 

 

Harumi Liner, a new foot in Chuo-ku, which started operation in mid-October.

Inferred from the Shonan Liner and the Good Morning Liner on the train, there is something "easy fast" image.

----

What's Harumi Triton Square next to Nihonbashi Takashimaya? 。

If you are a Chuo-ku mania, let's understand, this shock

The bus approached me while I was shocked.

Hitachi Motor Transportation, we want to see the same as our Edo Bus.

The shiny white bus took me to Triton Square in just 15 minutes.

In addition to the comfort, the familiar scenery looked fresh.

This time I got on the train from Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit-Nihonbashi Takashimaya-Triton Square System Harumi 01.

It seems that the system Harumi 02 is Triton Square-Yurakucho-Yaesu Exit.

The number of flights is substantial, I recommend it.

　

 

 

The Kizukinasai (Tsukinasai) 2012 will be held to commemorate the completion of the restoration of main hall at Tsukiji Honganji Temple and the registration of main hall andTangible Cultural Property walls.

 

○ Schedule Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11
○ Location: Tsukiji Honganji et al.
○ Contents: "Local product exhibition", "Yuru-chara large collection", "Panel exhibition", etc.

 

Personally, I am paying attention to the first "Ginza Parade" in the history of Yuru-chara, which will be held from 12:00 on the 10th (Sat).
Starting from the vicinity of the Sukiyabashi intersection, about 400 meters along the Harumi-dori St. to the Miharabashi intersection, about 50 loose characters, children, Buddhist monk, etc. parade.
Maybe that loose character that you are worried about will appear?
It seems that the children in the children's procession are still being recruited.

 

 

It is sold at the long-established "Ninben" main store in the Choredo Muromachi Building.
"Katsuo Kakuniman" is recommended.
The appearance is Chinese bun, but the ingredients inside are "Katsuo Kakuni".
Japanese-style and refreshing food.
It is packed with sweet and spicy soy sauce flavored bonito and onions, and bonito soup stock.
The aroma and taste of this product are exquisitely delicious. The secret ingredient seems to be ginger.
As expected, I think it is a dish that feels the history of the long-established "Ninben".
The price is 200 yen per piece and the price is reasonable. This is my lunch these days
One coin with 2 "Katsuo Kakuni Man" and dashi soup (100 yen) of bonito flakes.
500 yen course.

They also sold frozen items for souvenirs. (800 yen for 4 pieces)
When warming, you can't do it in a microwave oven, but you can't do it.
There is no doubt that steamed in a steamer is more delicious.

"Katsuo Kakuniman" is said to be limited to the season, but it is for shoppers.
I heard that until next year's Golden Week.
It is said that it's a good idea.
Why don't you try it when you drop in nearby?




 

 

　At Wakamatsuya at Tsukiji 6-chome, an exhibition of works exhibited at "Marugoto Museum 2012" was prepared. I was in the way and put it in a little photo.　The exhibition and spot sale of the work are from October 30 to November 10.　I would like to introduce some of the items on display and sale.

It is said that this year has been 50 years since the Beatles were formed.

Do you know Marilyn Monroe is an actress?　Is Vintage sticking to the bottle?

Photos for souvenirs at travel destinations are also in a very retro bag and are interesting.
