Tutto Bene, a new attraction in Tsukiji!

[The Crown and the Rabbit] June 22, 2015 14:00

I introduced myself as a resident of Tsukiji.

"Where is the most delicious shop in Tsukiji?" So

I'm often asked a question, but in such a case, it's a matter of time.

It's not sushi, set meal, ramen.

I recommended the Italian "Paratizo" from the Tsukiji Outer Market.

However, recently, word of mouth has become a reputation, and the line of tourists has been constant.

It was too difficult to secure seats and it was difficult for locals to stop by.

 

However, in early June, at Tsukiji 7-chome (7-10-10 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku).

The sister store "Tutbene" has opened!

Firewood kiln dishes, that is, this store also offers pizza!

The charm of Italian is originally rooted in each of the Italian regions.

It must have a rugged and powerful taste.

Most Italians in Japan are arranged in Japanese style.

There is a tendency to evolve too elegantly...

However, "Paratizo" and "Tutbene" do not meet such a trend, and do not respond to such a trend.

This is Southern Italy! Do you have any complaints?

It's full of attitude and momentum.

 

Terry Ito is the best in Japan! Acclaimed

"Paratizo" became a specialty at once.

"Shellfish and Cherry Blossom Pescatore-style Ringines purchased today" is available.

It is also alive in "Tutbene".

 

On the day I visited

Scallop shells, mussels, Asari, clams, crow pirates, elder shrimp, etc.

There are many kinds of seafood, and how much soup stock is extracted?

It's easy to imagine the taste, isn't it? 

With your hands greasy (wine glass is also sticky)

If you are absorbed in eating shells and shells, you will create a shell mound without fail.

And of course, I have to eat Napleli Pizza, which is baked in a firewood kiln!

The edges are thick and chewy.

The feature of Napleli Pizza is that the inflated edges are burnt.

Gorgonzola and walnut pizza have an exquisite balance of saltiness and sweetness!

On this day, I was full.

As a matter of fact, I know Dolce is also excellent.

When I revisited at lunch later, I revenge at Tiramisu in Pistachio.

It looks simple, and it's simple.

It has a lot of volume, but it's rich in flavor and has a lot of flavor.

Tutto Bene!』 Is in Italian.

"Everything goes well!" `No problem!' That's what it means.

Here, if you inject the taste and energy

It's really like that!

Directed by Yasujiro Ozu and Chuo-ku

[CAM] June 22, 2015 10:00

 

  Ginza is said to have been a favorite city for director Yasujiro Ozu, so it has often appeared in his work.

  

In   "late spring" (1949), Setsuko Hara goes shopping in Ginza.

In   "Sisters of Sokata" (1950), Kinuyo Tanaka works at a bar in Nishi Ginza.

In   "Wheat Autumn" (1951), Chishu Ryu and Kuniko Miyake's brothers and sisters and Setsuko Hara eat tempura at a small restaurant in Ginza.

In   "Taste of Ochazuke" (1952), Keiko Tsushima goes to see a movie after shopping in Ginza. Also, I was invited by Koji Tsuruta to Ginza Road       I go to a ramen shop in the back of the ground.

In   "Tokyo Monogatari" (1953), "Hato Bus", which Setsuko Hara rides with Chishu Ryu and Chieko Higashiyama, passes through Ginza and Matsuya Depper.

  There is a scene that guides you to the rooftop of the remote.

  

  Tsukishima appears in "Women in the Wind" (1948). 

  

 It is based on the theme of returning to the battlefield shortly after the war, and is a very serious and dark story for Ozu's work. Ozu himself is said to be a work that he did not always like. The wife, who plays Kinuyo Tanaka, left herself to another man only once to cover her child's illness while her husband had not returned. Then, the husband who returned immediately after hearing the confession from his wife and visiting the place (Tsukishima), but Inuhiko Yomota infers quite a bit about the place ("Tsukishima Monogatari Again" 2007). According to him, behind Tsukishima Daini Elementary School, there are currently an antique furniture store using an empty warehouse, a rehearsal hall for theaters, and a multi-purpose building, and it seems that there is a metropolitan house behind it. And it is said that this area is the only place in Tsukishima that was strongly influenced by post-war customs. There are scenes where a husband played by Shuji Sano sits on the riverbank while looking at Kachidokibashi on his right, but now I can't find any remnants.

  Most of Ozu's works can be viewed on DVD  except for some of the silent ones. Looking at postwar works over time, you can feel the revival of Japan after the war.

  

 

 

Sales of Happy Shopping Tickets in Chuo-ku

[whatever] June 21, 2015 18:00

 The morning of June 21st. When I opened the window of the room saying "Is it raining?", There was a long line under my eyes.... Today was the sale day of "Chuo-ku Happy Shopping Ticket"!
 

 Actually, I had never purchased it yet, but I thought, "If it has not been sold out at the time of preparation, let's buy it," and check the state of the queue and prepare yourself....
 

 "Chuo-ku Happy Shopping Ticket" can be purchased by central residents aged 16 and over. It seems that this is a business aimed at expanding consumption, in which a shopping ticket worth 11,000 yen per book can be purchased at a 10% discount of 10,000 yen (first come, first served). Up to 5 books per person.
 

 It was said that 9:00 am was the start of sales, the long line was interrupted, and the inhabitants of the ward entered the sales venue one after another, but it was a little past 11:00 am when I completed dressing. By the time, the line was already gone, but it was not sold out yet, so I purchased only one book this time.
 

 If you look at the list of dealers, it can be used at a large number of stores, such as convenience stores, hospitals, fruit and vegetable stores that take care of almost every day in the neighborhood, long-established stores in the Nihonbashi area, and boutiques in Ginza.
 

 I purchased only one book, so I think I will use it up in no time, but since it is a central inhabitant of the ward, it is a great deal, so I have to actively use such a system.

21062015-1.JPG21062015-2.JPG

 
 The use period of this shopping ticket is from June 21, 2015 (Sunday) to March 31, 2016 (Thursday).

 Shopping tickets that were not sold out on the day will be sold at the ward office on Monday the following day. For more information:

 

 

Chocolate of ginger country [Marugoto Kochi]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 20, 2015 09:00

There is an antenna shop "Marugoto Kochi" in Kochi Prefecture facing Ginza 1-chome, Sotobori-dori St.

kochian20.JPG

Marugoto Kochi uses three floors of a tenant building, with the first basement floor being the locally brewed sake Crafts Sales Office Tosazo Tourist Information Center, Tosaichi, food sales on the first floor, and TOSA DINING Okokukuku.

By the way, the logo mark of "Marugoto Kochi" is the work of calligrapher Shifune.

kochian10.jpg

Kochi Prefecture has the highest harvest of ginger in Japan, and many of the products sold in Tosa City are ginger pressed products.

kochian30.JPG

"Niyodo River truffle"

The Niyodo River is a first-class river that flows through Ehime and Kochi prefectures and pours into Tosa Bay, but there is sake named after this river. The special brewing undiluted sake "Niyodo River" is a famous sake of Kochi Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., which strives to make sake in Ino Town, Kochi Prefecture.

The truffle "Niyodo River truffle" made by undiluted sake is a secret ingredient of Kochi ginger, and it is a special dish unique to Tosa, a famous sake brewery for adults.

Certainly, chocolate, sake and ginger do not kill each other, but their respective goodness (flavor) lives.

"All-round side dish ginger" is the number one selling "Marugoto Kochi".

The rice goes a lot.

◆ Cherry season "Higashine season"

[Sumida Fireworks] June 19, 2015 14:00

"Kachidokibashi" celebrated its 75th anniversary on June 14. An Edo bus passes through such a historic bridge. What? What about that?

s_hanabi20-1.jpgThis is the Edo bus for the advertisement of "Higashine".

s_hanabi20-2.jpg 

Speaking of Higashine, "Cherry."

This year, the "Higashine Season" has come.

 

Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture is a friendship city in Chuo-ku. Because it is a fruit tree kingdom, it holds a "Cherry Festival" in Chuo-ku every year in the cherry season.

  

At the Cherry Festival, the "Cherry Seed Flying Tournament" is the most important thing. This year's event will be held at Tsukiji Honganji and Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori. It's this weekend.

  

●Outline of this year

http://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/kusei/kohokotyo/koho/h27/270601/06_10/index.html

 

Last year, I went there, but it was already full when I arrived because I was late.

 

It seems that the record of seed skipping so far is 17m83cm.

 

About how much this distance is, the distance between baseball batteries and the distance of bowling throwing (18m chot). It's quite long.

 

Looking at the blog in the middle of last year's mistake, it seems that there are some tips for flying seeds.

●Last year's middle blog

http://chuo-kanko.or.jp/miss/2014/07/01/

 

Will the flight distance that will be updated from Chuo-ku really come out?

Can you see the splendid seed skipping scenery in the center of Miss this year?

It's interesting.

 

Higashine City is also an important partner for Chuo-ku, which has been actively involved in exchanges, such as selling special products at the Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival in summer and providing snow at the Snow Festival in winter. is.

s_hanabi20-3.jpg(Photo: At the Snow Festival in February this year.)

 

 

In fact, the place called Higashine is a place to remember for me. Since my parents' countryside is each neighboring town of Higashine, when I was a child, I returned to Yamagata almost every year to return home during summer vacation.

 

Speaking of memories, as for Higashine, there is only a memory that my grandmother took me to a delicious dumpling shop ...

When did you go? I don't remember which dumpling shop I went to. Maybe more than 35 years ago. The taste of "Zuda" I ate for the first time was shocking.

 

I visited such Higashine City for the first time in a long time this spring, so I will introduce it.

 

Higashine City is located in the center of Yamagata Prefecture, slightly east, and the Mogami River flows to the west side of the town, and is a town with nostalgic scenery surrounded by mountains.

Nevertheless, many beautiful roads have been developed recently, and it can be said that Yamagata Prefecture is still developing.

s_hanabi20-4.jpg(Photo: Scenery from early May from the summit of Omoriyama near the city center. The snow-covered mountain on the left side is "Tsukiyama".)

 

There is Yamagata Airport in the city, and there are flights from Haneda.

Also, from Tokyo, the expressway is connected, so you can go by car, and the Shinkansen stops at "Cherry Higashine Station".

There are more options than in the past, and it is closer to Tokyo.

 

When the Shinkansen enters the city, the scenery of the orchard sometimes jumps in from the train window, so I realize that Higashine City is a "fruit kingdom".

s_hanabi20-5.jpg

 

June is the season of cherry blossoms. In addition to being full of cherry hunting, the head family's seed skipping tournament is held, and even the marathon event is held.

s_hanabi20-6.jpgIn autumn, there is no shortage of fruits such as apples and La France. The juice squeezed them is also very delicious and recommended.

 

Another specialty in Higashine is that the “Muda district” fu (fu) between Cherry Higashine Station and Higashine Station.

This Muda area is located along the Dewa Kaido, and in the past it was a wheat cultivation area and was a beautiful place with water, so fu has been manufactured since the Edo period, which was the post town.

s_hanabi20-7.jpgEven now, there are several shops in the Muda area that manufacture and sell fu. Some shops were able to eat dishes using fu and sweets of raw fu, and sold sweets such as fu buns and rusk and karinto, so it was quite lively.

s_hanabi20-8.jpg 

There is also a hot spring in Higashine. The name is "Cherry Higashine Onsen". There is also a footbath, so you can take a break.

 

To the edge of the hot-spring town...

s_hanabi20-9.jpg

There was a dumpling shop.

The atmosphere of the store is completely different from the memories of the past, but I was convinced that the taste was "no doubt here."

 

I think that Higashine City will be able to sell various products again at various future events in Chuo-ku. I don't think there are any dumplings, but maybe there are some specialty products introduced this time.

If there is a booth in Higashine City at a future event, please take a look.
