New discovery in Chuo-ku! Participation report of "Town Walking Tour"

[Ginzo] 14:00 on October 9, 2014

 

  The Chuo-ku Tourism Association has been conducting since July, "Chuo-ku new discovery! Do you know the "town walking tour"?
 
I applied for an industrial course to visit long-established stores, shops and famous places on August 28.
We visited  three long-established stores that were founded in the Edo period, the long-established Japanese confectionery store "Eitarou Sohonpo", the lacquerware specialty store "Kuroeya", and the seaweed shop "Yamamoto-noriten", which developed seasoned seaweed.
At the first "Eitarou Sohonpo" I visited,

We talked about the invention of Amana sugar and Kintsuba.

In addition, we heard stories such as "Sado's Red Stone at the villa of the Goto family at the entrance."

I bought a gold tsuba as a souvenir. 
On this website, you can see a small story of Eitaro candy and gold brim. http://www.eitaro.com/
 
The next show window of Kuroeya's storefront is decorated with Nihonbashi's giboshi, which was used during the Edo period.

Here, Nihonbashi, our original chopsticks, is sold from high-quality lacquerware.

I bought a business card holder with 36 views of Mt. Fuji in Katsushika Hokusai and red Fuji. http://www.kuroeya.com/
 
The last time I visited, "Yamamoto-noriten", seaweed is collected when the plum blossoms bloom, so I made it a shrine emblem of a plum or a wall with a laver spore design.

The history of the company, Yoko Yamamoto's TV commercial for a long period of time, so the story was certified by the Guinness Book.

I heard a very interesting story that the ceiling expresses the framework of a boat collecting seaweed in the store's construction.

We tasted seaweed, and tasted the canned seaweeds designed by Kitty-chan, who likes his granddaughter, but it is also a seasoning that adults can receive. I bought two cans.

 The "Town Walking Tour" seems to be still being accepted. A fun walk, I recommend you.

[Sumida Fireworks] 09:00 on October 9, 2014

This is a new bridge at the lowermost part of the Sumida River connecting Tsukiji and Kachidoki, where the bridge was carried out on May 8.

Although the name was being recruited, it was not easily announced,

s_hanabi10-2.jpg

The sun went down many times.

s_hanabi10-3.jpg

Are you tired of waiting?

s_hanabi10-4.jpg

But this time, the name was finally announced.


This is "Tsukiji Ohashi".


Even though Tsukiji Market moves to Toyosu,

This name "Tsukiji" will remain as a new landmark for a long time, so isn't it a suitable name?

s_hanabi10-5.jpg


From Hashigami, you will see Tokyo Tower over Hamarikyu Gardens, and there is no doubt that it will become a new tourist spot.

It must also be a beautiful light-up.

In the future, after performing pavement work, it is scheduled to be completed in March 2016.

By the way, the name was being recruited on the bridge of the same ring Route 2,
The bridge over the Asashio Canal is called "Reime Ohashi".
s_hanabi10-6.jpg

The overpass between Tsukiji Ohashi and Reimei Ohashi is "Kachidoki Overpass".
It became the name.

In the neighborhood, new high-rise tower apartments are being built, and it will change more and more for the future.

 

 

The Battle of Sarunosuke's Eighteen Acts - October Shimbashi Enbujo,

[Desire purple] 18:00 on October 8, 2014

In the afternoon when the typhoon left around noon and the weather recovered completely, I headed to Shimbashi Enbujo. The first October theater performance, entitled "The fourth generation Sarunosuke is working on this fall for two consecutive months!" Today is the night club "Dokdochu 53 Eki" (single-time Gojusantsugi) It is a kyogen made by the north and south. Following the premiere of the third generation, the 18th role of Sarunosuke was quickly replaced. It is also a nice taste that it is set in "Four Acts 53 Scenes" for the performance.

100_1476.JPG

When I entered the hall, there was a vinyl on the back of the seat with a note saying, "There is a scene where water is used in the third act, so please use this vinyl sheet." This is "Keeping"! That's right. I've been watching Kabuki for a long time, but when I used "Honsui" in kyogen, I never got a seat in the front row, and I always envied the vinyl distributed in front of the curtain. I'm looking forward to it today before the real "wearing" opening. When the mouth that appears to the north and south ends, the opening begins with Kyo Sanjo Ohashi, the entanglement of house riots based on "Kameyama's revenge" and revenge, the strange difference of "Okazaki's cat", the air ride of a monster cat, Kuwana's underwater appearance and speedy along the 53rd order. Speaking of the fifty-three, the Yajikita combination of Saruya and Kotaro laughed at Kyogen spinning, and finally the third act. Walking around Takimizu with the parody of "Hakone Reigen Izari no Avenge". Finally, it's time for the "Kazumono". The people around you are already ready. Sarunosuke and everyone are flying water to the audience with excitement. It looks soaked, but it's fun. I was worried with a neighbor who came from Aomori, "How much costumes do you prepare during the performance?" The finalization is Chokichi, Chochi of Chochi, from half to Benten Kozo, and on the bank, the twelve roles of Sarunosuke are quickly changed. I counted it. Surely. It's bright enough to turn around. Thank you very much for your good work at the end of Edo Nihonbashi. Sarunosuke is a great struggle, three and a half hours of big fan service. It's funny without a charge. Please go out to Shimbashi Enbujo in October, which is a bit different from Kabukiza. But when is Sarunosuke the new Kabukiza Theater?

The daytime section was 'Shunkan' and 'Kinpe Sarushima County.'

Senshuraku was the twenty-seventh day. For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hong Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00-18:00)

There are a lot of cute Halloween sweets at this time.

I’ll tell you about two things that I particularly like.*

The white chocolate mousse and the cookies on the table are all delicious♪

It's 1080 yen per piece.

 

The other is the shrimp cracker of Katsura Shindo in the basement of Ginza Matsuya.

The seasonal shrimp crackers are sold every month, and I'm looking forward to it.

At this time, besides Halloween, there is also a mountain play that is more fun than autumn.

The smallest series is 216 yen per bag, so I always buy 2 bags (*^^*)

Thirteen Nights: The Moon drifting between clouds

[Sam] 18:00 on October 7, 2014

DSC01002ELSC.JPGthRRSG.jpg This year, October 6 is old calendar September 13th, and "Thirteen Nights".

The "15th Night" on August 15th of old calendar is called "Imonatsuki" because of the custom of offering taro during the harvest season, while it is also called "Kurinazuki" or "Mamenazuki" or "later month".

Missing one moon viewing on one side of the 15th and 13th nights is called "Kata Mizuki", and it is said that there is a detestable wind.

It is considered a customs unique to Japan and seems to have once been considered one of the autumn Harvest festival.

In general, the night of the thirteenth night is often sunny, and I hear the word "no cloudy on the thirteenth night."

This year, Typhoon No. 18 passed in the morning, and the blue sky spread in the afternoon, but at night it was spotted clouds.

The "moon drifting in the waves of clouds" shining at the "top" of Ishikawajima Lighthouse in Tsukuda Park, which is lit up, also has a taste.
