The Tsukiji market, which can be said to be the kitchen of the world, has a long history, and the source of the fruits and vegetables is located at the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Vegetable Market Ruins. During the Edo period, this area was a loading area for vegetables such as radish, and it seems that Edo vegetable markets such as Kameido radish, Nerima radish, Komatsuna, and Tokyo udon were crowded.

　3-4 Kyobashi, across Chuo-dori, is located across the police museum.

This year (2014) is the 350th anniversary of the birth of "Kyobashi Daikon Bank", and fresh vegetables selected by Tsukiji professionals are distributed free of charge to the first 350 people every month! It's done. In April, we had delicious bananas from radish (from Choshi), carrots (from Tokushima), new potatoes (from Kagoshima), and Tsukiji.

At the distribution meeting, we can talk to the representative of Kyobashi Daikon Bank Association Isao Ishikawa, and the vegetables to be distributed are selected by professionals at that time, and they are sent directly to the market, so the freshness is outstanding.

　 The day after the distribution was April 12 (Good Ginseng Day)

In fact, there is a baby who has just started baby food at home, but when I boiled the radish and carrots I received here, I leaned forward and ate many times as usual.

I also tasted it, but it was just boiled, but it was sweet and delicious.

I realized that what was really delicious was something that passed through nature and throat without any resistance. Also, even if I kept it in the refrigerator for a few days, I pinned it all the time.

  Koinobori associated with Kyobashi "River" I want children to eat delicious food and grow up

The next distribution schedule is from 12:00 on May 9th (Friday)

You can check the latest information from the link below, so please check it out.

It is very popular around this time, and there is a long line before 12:00, so it is recommended to go early.

Also, Saturday, June 7 14:00-(planned) will be the 350th anniversary event, and Yuru characters may come! ? I'm looking forward to this as well.

Why don't you taste the exquisite vegetables selected by Tsukiji's eyes?

In this season, on Ginza Marronnier Street, not only Marronnier but also trees that delight us with flowers are in the flowering season.

The photo is near Marronnier Ginza 2-chome intersection in flowering.

From the rooftop, Fuji's Hanabusa hangs in Ginza 3-chome, a building containing the wildflower and tea flower specialty store "Nono Kaji"

In Ginza 2-chome, the building behind the dogwood blooms is Winds Ginza (outside winning ticket sales office (WINS) of the Japan Racing Association (JRA)).

This dogwood is blooming to cover the roof of a public health facility near the former Toyotama Bridge ()

Every flower will be enjoyed for a while.

A new bridge will be built at the bottom of the Sumida River.

At the end of March, Route 2 will be able to pass between Tiger Gate and Shimbashi, and will pass underground between Shimbashi and Tsukiji 5-chome. Construction of a bridge connecting to Kachidoki, Toyomi, Harumi and Toyosu has begun.

The first photo is in front of the bridge.

This landscape will change in two years, right? 

The first construction was carried out on April 17, and a bridge from the Tsukiji market side began.

The second construction was carried out from the Kachidoki side on April 23.

The third event is scheduled to be held on May 7, and the left and right sides will be connected by the middle construction.
Construction starts around 8:00 and may end around noon. Don't miss it

In case of rain, construction may be done the next day.

It is said that the upper finish will be completed in 2015.
 
For the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, development will be promoted and transportation for local residents will be improved.
I'm looking forward to it.

≪Postscript≫

The third construction was postponed due to strong winds on May 6 and was changed to take place on May 8.
Please note that in the case of strong winds or rainy weather, it will be postponed again.
