Recommended for entertainment and dating "Ginza Jisaku"

[Mido] September 27, 2013 08:59

This time's recommendation is "Ginza Jisaku". At a Japanese restaurant near Tsukiji in Ginza 8-chome.

It's not a shop that says "a little bit of a cup after work" ... but entertainment and special date

It's perfect for you. 


 

The interior of the store has a well-built Japanese-style interior with a high-class atmosphere and all rooms are available.

It is a completely private room.

The full course of cooking is at least 10,000 yen, and there is a threshold for the poor like me.

It has a high feeling, but it is a shop that you want to use only on special days.

The dishes are made with orthodox Japanese-style kaiseki, appetizers, soups, sashimi, baked goods, etc.

Mouth, meat dishes, porridge, desserts are all delicious enough to surprise.

I'm satisfied.

 

And our signboard menu "water-cooked porridge" is an exquisite word. "Water-cooking

A traditional taste made by a chef specializing in water cooking called "" uses only chickens, water and onions.

That's right. Each customer is assigned a customer service charge one by one.

It is finished in the field, so you can enjoy the ultimate taste without having to bother your hands.

"Kimono and Obi of Tokamachi" in Niigata where you can enjoy autumn

[Mumin] September 26, 2013 17:45

 

  On the first floor of the Daishi Tokyo Building (owned by Daishi Bank in Niigata), opposite the street of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Department Store, there is an event floor called "Bridge Niigata". 

 This is a bridge that was created to connect Niigata's power to various parts of Japan and to the world.

 From September 24th to 30th, an event called "Kimono in Tokamachi that Enjoys Autumn" is being held. Tokamachi is one of Japan's leading textile towns, and this time, Kihadaya, a dyeing and weaving workshop in Tokamachi, is exhibiting and selling Niigata's textiles in general.

  I spoke to Mr. Iwata of "Kihadaya".  The advantage of being able to exhibit and sell at this venue is that you can communicate slowly with customers, so more than half of them come here are regular customers. Also, the kimono on display here is more like kimono lovers enjoy wearing it rather than formal. It was a wonderful space that I wanted when I saw it.

 

 

 

 

 

"Kyobashi XX" in Chuo-ku

[Apricot peony] September 25, 2013 09:00

Nowadays, there are Chuo-ku everywhere in Japan, but in the middle of Tokyo, our Chuo-ku was born together in 1947 with Nihonbashi-ku and Kyobashi-ku.

 

In the past, public facilities in Kyobashi Ward continue to play a role almost, but even if the name changes to "Chuo-ku", you can see quite a few things with the name "Kyobashi" as it is.

 

For example, "Kyobashi Plaza" has a house on a ward hall or community hall.

My address is Ginza 1-chome.

In the past, there was "Kyobashi Elementary School" in this place, but it was integrated with Tsukiji Elementary School to become "Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School", and the school building uses the former Tsukiji Elementary School.

"Kyobashi Park", which is adjacent to Kyobashi Plaza, was from the time of elementary school.

ck1203_130925 (3). jpgSpeaking of Tsukiji 1-1-1, the ward office is located there, and the Kyobashi Library is attached to it.

There are many valuable materials about Chuo-ku in the underground regional archives here, so you can easily browse them, and in some cases you can borrow them.

The reference is really familiar with the history of Chuo-ku and is always taken care of.

The Kyobashi Post Office is also located near the out-of-market market in Tsukiji.

Due to the privatization of the postal service, the postal business will be "Harumi Post Office Kyobashi Branch Office", but the building is "Kyobashi Post Office".

Old residents say "Kyobashi's headquarters".

 

And in Shintomi, "Kyobashi Tax Office".

There used to be Shintomiza here, and its explanation board was built.

I grew up locally, but it was strange that there was a building with "Kyobashi XX" even though it was not in Kyobashi, but looking at the history, there was a proper reason I knew it, it was very interesting.

 

 

 

Tsukiji Honganji "Shimizu" has a safe taste!

[Shitamachi Tom] September 24, 2013 14:00

We have reached the equinoctial week in autumn. It's finally the arrival of a refreshing season.

Honganji equinoctial week 2_R.JPG

 

Here, Tsukiji Honganji is a major base in Tokyo for the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school, and at the same time it is also a famous architecture and tourist spot known for its unique form designed by Chuta Ito.

 

Honganji equinoctial week 1_R.JPGThe number of worshipers does not stop on a regular basis, but many people visit during the equinoctial week. There was also a line in main hall for burning incense and worship. Although the hall is majestic, is it the atmosphere that has long been rooted in the downtown area that makes you feel familiar?

Many people know Tsukiji Honganji well, and it has been featured many times in this sightseeing correspondent blog, so this time the report of the temple itself is around here and the gourmet of the precincts I will introduce you.

 

Honganji Purple Water 1_R.JPGAs a local resident, I often take care of Shisui, a Japanese restaurant on the first floor of the Daiichi Empire Hall on the precincts.

The dishes here are solid seasoning and elegant servings, and there are many fans. "Monzen soba" is a popular dish, and it seems that many customers visit for this purpose. There is also a set menu of soba and rice, so it is a useful place for lunch.

In addition, the morning set in the morning is a popular menu, with standard items set one by one. There are plenty of rooms and banquet halls, which are often used in Buddhist memorial service and parties.

There is also a "tee lounge" near the entrance, where you can often see local elderly people chatting while drinking tea here. I think the salon-like atmosphere where you can calm down and talk is a space you want to take care of.

 

Purple water cutlet sandwich jpgIn fact, "Katsu Sand" is overwhelmingly supported by me and local young people in this "Shimizu". It is not on a general lunch menu, but you can make it by ordering individually at banquets etc. This is a comprehensive taste work that is soft and juicy tonkatsu into bread and moist scissors and seasoned with a unique sauce. I'll carry a few of them to my mouth. It can be said that it is "a masterpiece". If you have a chance, please enjoy it.

 

There is no flashy publicity or no special eyeball project, but I guess these solid and productive stores are "famous stores". From now on, I would like to make it an important place to go.

 

 

 

Kind hospitality at Sony's warm hospitality

[Silver] September 24, 2013 09:00

 

 Today, I was in trouble because the battery of the digital camera was running low. 

Suddenly, I went to the "Sony Customer Consultation Counter" on the 4th floor of Sony Building.

In other words, he was happy to charge and waited for the latest products on the 4F, 3F, and 2F.

 

On the 3rd floor, we enjoyed the beautiful World Heritage and the cityscape of cities around the world with a powerful large screen by the company's televigation BRAVIA.

 

On the 2nd floor, people sitting and experiencing were lined up to try a 3D-compatible head mound display.

In order to experience it easily, I was able to stand, wear earphones, and look at the display in front of me. 3D is really amazing.

In addition, there is Concierge Room on the 2nd floor, and if you make a reservation, you will be kindly consulted about TV, PC, Audio, etc. at home.

 

Please enjoy going out in Ginza and SONY Bldg. when you have time.

 

I am sure that foreign customers will be pleased.

Mid-Autumn Moon <Eidai Bridge>

[Sam] September 20, 2013 09:00

2013919.jpgDSC00045LS.JPG Today September 19th is August 15th in old calendar. The moon tonight is "Mid-Autumn Moon".

In fact, since the phases of the moon are not perfect one month, subtle gaps occur depending on the year, and the "medium-autumn moon" is not necessarily the full moon. This year is the last chance in the 2010s, when the mid-autumn moon is the full moon.

In general, typhoons often hit during this time, and fronts often stagnate near Honshu, and it is said that it will not be a sunny day for moon viewing in a wide area, but this year we are blessed with fine weather nationwide and love the moon The perfect conditions have been set.

I hear that various moon-viewing events are organized at sightseeing spots with a good view.

This is the part of Eitai Bridge. As houseboats pass through the river surface, a round "moon" shines in the clear autumn sky above the head of Eitai Bridge, which is lit up in blue.

By the way, the chance that the next "Mid-Autumn Moon" will be full in 2021.
