"Nipponmaru" at Harumi Wharf

[kimitaku] Nov. 30, 2013 14:00

 

  We walked around Harumi Wharf during lunchtime when we were surrounded by the autumn weather.

Today, a large cruise ship "Nipponmaru" was landing.

Earlier, I introduced the sailing ship Nippon Maru.

Today, I would like to introduce the cruise ship "Nipponmaru".

   At the entrance of the pier terminal, the date and time of arrival and departure are indicated.

 There is Ho Chi Minh, the front port of Oarai next port.

The rescue boat is orange and beautiful. From the rooftop of the terminal, I looked at the huge chimney while looking at Odaiba.

The guard ship in the foreground looks like a bean grain.
Some customers leave the ship for a short time.

The next two days far away from Vietnam, "Nipponmaru" left the pier.

 

 

 

Japan's first ice cream bar

[Mido] Nov. 29, 2013 14:00

Did you know that Japan's first "ice cream bar" was born in Chuo-ku?  

Kyodo Dairy Co., Ltd. in Nihonbashikoamicho was established in 1955 (Showa 30). 

Production of "Home Run Bar" has started. Even those who are not familiar with the cooperative dairy industry 

You've probably heard of the brand name of "Meito".  

 

  

In the past, ice cream was generally served in cups, but cooperative dairy farming began in Denmark. 

I purchased a machine that manufactures ice cream bars and created a home runbar.  

At that time, stick-shaped ice cream was rare, and as soon as it was sold out, it became a big hit. 

That's right. There was also a commitment to using a northern tree that is hard to warp.   

 

  

At the time of its release, it was also a hit that it was placed at a candy store for 10 yen per bottle so that children could buy it. 

It is said that it was a factor. And if you get another "around" on the stick, you can get another one. 

It was wonderful to incorporate the game nature.  

Probably, many people who are watching this article also have experience of focusing on "around". 

I think there is something.   

There are various "Japan's first" in Chuo-ku, but it is such a familiar thing and long seller. 

I'm a little happy to have a product. It's probably like this around you. 

There may be "Japan's first".

`The Earth of August,'

[Tsukiji Nyanko] Nov. 29, 2013 09:00

A while ago, it was performed at Shimbashi Enbujo this month.
I went to see Yoji Yamada's production "The Earth of August".

The stage is Manchuria Film Studio during the war.
Each of them is in a difficult situation, but they are connected by cross-border bonds.
This is the story of young people who dreamed of a movie.

The content is against the background of the war, so "It was fun!" In that case
I don't have it, but it was a stage that resonates with my heart.

This is the third time that I have visited Shimbashi Enbujo to appreciate it.
After all, I really like to see souvenirs.

There is also a small souvenir that seems to be so cute.

There are a lot of fun going to the theater.

 

 

 

Sushi lunch in Ginza ★Sushi Aoki

[Mapo ★] Nov. 28, 2013 09:00

Ginza Restaurant Week is held every year from the second half of October to the first half of November.

This means that restaurants in Ginza can be eaten for 3,000 yen for lunch, regardless of genre.

This time, I tried sushi.

I've never been sushi in Ginza until now (I bought Kubei's Ehomaki).

Because there are so few things you can eat.

 

When I was a child, the raw material smelled raw and I couldn't accept it, and I could only eat shrimp or eel.

I went to delicious fish places such as the Sea of Japan and said, "Because this is different."

After eating, I thought "I was deceived again" (laughs).

 

After the age of 35, it became possible to eat it if it was flattened.

I began to think it was delicious.

 

My husband likes sushi, so I can eat more in the last 10 years. 

Sea bream and sea bass can now be eaten well.

If tuna is a big toro, you can eat it as meat (laughs).

 

That's why this time it is located on the second floor of Natsuno Honten, a shop specializing in chopsticks.

I went to a sushi restaurant named Aoki.

I can't eat shellfish, and I am

I told you that my master could not eat shellfish.

 

It's 3000 yen with 9 sticks and red soup.

You can hold it in front of you, so it will double the deliciousness!

Hirame kelp tightening, engawa, Nakatoro, Shimaguro, Kohada, shimesaba, shrimp, Anako, boiled octopus.

For me, the flat kelp tightening was the best.

And Nakatoro also went well.

The tuna was pickled, so it didn't smell much raw.

I wasn't good at shining things.

After all, I was impressed that it was delicious.

By the way, my husband ordered an additional amount, but 1000 yen per tan!

But it seems that it was very delicious with its original taste.

 

I originally love sushi rice, so I love sushi rice.

I wonder if sushi is good from now on.

Also, I would like to inform you of delicious sushi information.

"Nice people I met in the city 4th-people who love Chuo-ku-"

[Shitamachi Tom] Nov. 27, 2013 09:00

  This is the fourth in a series where you can meet and talk with various people in the city. This time, I accompanied the activities of the "Chuo-ku Ward Administration Monitor Friendship Association" and reported on a part of your activities. .

 

P1120441_R.JPG  The "ward administration monitor system" is a mechanism under the jurisdiction of the Public Relations Division in Chuo-ku. Inhabitants of a ward interested in ward administration apply and give opinion and suggestion to ward administration. I myself once participated as a member and expressed opinions on several ward administration themes. Everyone is seriously thinking about Chuo-ku.

 

 "Municipal Administration Monitor Friendship Association" is an exchange organization for people who have experienced this monitor. Even if you leave the monitor, you continue to have a deep interest and attachment to the region, find your own themes, conduct independent research, exchange opinions, and regularly engage in activities. I've been in my friends for a few years.

P1120444_R.JPG On this day, as a "Meeting of Ward Administration Monitor Friends", there was a plan to reconfirm the location and purpose of establishment around public facilities in the city, and accompanying me. . Many positive people gathered about 20 people and went around the city with the guidance of the Public Relations Division. One of the most impressive facilities was the Chuo Ward Environmental Information Center, which was just opened in June this year. It is located on the 6th floor of Kyobashi Square Garden, the center of the redevelopment area.

 In addition to being able to know the actual situation of environmental measures in the city, you can also learn about changes in historical environmental issues and future issues. It is within walking distance from Ginza and Tokyo Station, so please come and visit us.

 

Harumi Children's Garden _R.JPG In addition, I also looked around [Harumi Children's Garden] and [Rehaport Akashi]. In Chuo-ku, the number of elderly and younger generations is increasing with population growth, so public facilities are being enhanced here and there. If you have the opportunity to take a walk around the city, why not take a look at these facilities? The usual appearance of Chuo-ku may emerge and come out.

 

 

 After a tour of the city, we interviewed Miyo Hamano, chairman of the Chuo-ku Ward Administration Monitor Friendship Association. It is said that this association has been active for more than 20 years, including its predecessor organization. Mr. Hamano himself took over the chairman more than 10 years ago and led this meeting. At one time, I was worried about the decrease in membership, but recently, the number of new members, including male members, is gradually increasing. I am glad that more people are interested in the local area.

 On the other hand, there are still people who leave the meeting, and as a chairman, he thinks that the most important issues are to establish members and enhance their activities. .

P1120451_R.JPG Approximately 10 regular meetings are held a year, and discussions are held on various themes based on the serious desire to make Chuo-ku a better town, and specific educational activities are being developed. You. If such serious activities grow and the appeal of Chuo-ku increases, I think that it will be fun not only for locals but also for those who come from outside the city.

 

 Lastly, I would like to ask you about your immediate goals. "I think it is important to make communication with ward offices and related organizations more active, and to deliver the opinions of the association as much as possible. Sometimes I can't communicate as I want, but I want to work steadily without giving up. In addition, I would like to make various efforts to further deepen the exchange between members. "

 I was encouraged by touching everyone's smile and Mr. Hamano, who was looking forward to the development of Chuo-ku, even though he should have had a lot of trouble. It was a refreshing day.

This time, I would like to introduce "Fukumoto", which handles bags (bags and wallets) and bags, which also participates in the "Oedo wholesaler festival". Since Fukumoto opened in 1920 (1920), it has been a company that has been selling bags and bags for 95 years since then, mainly wholesale to department stores and specialty stores.
