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