Flowers of Triton Square Late Autumn Edition

[kimitaku] Nov. 26, 2015 18:00

 The tree wilt began to blow,

 There is snow news in the mountains far north.

 

We took a walk in Triton Square in the cold morning.

 The morning sun is on the wall of the square and is colored.

 The leaves of the vines are colored bright red, and the sun shines into the back of the leaves.

 It reminds me of the autumn of an old Italian castle somewhere.

  Many flowers in the square still endure the cold of the north wind.

   It's pretty open the buds. These flowers

 From now on to the New Year of Christmas

 Desperately enduring the cold ・ ・ ・ Visiting customers

 It will be entertained with colorful Hanabusa. 

 

 

[The beginning of winter is an annual event] Higashinihombashi Mochitsuki Tournament

[Dye] Nov. 26, 2015 14:00

It's getting cold at once.

November is about to end, and this year is over, too early!

In many ways, I'm going to get rid of it.

  

By the way, at Higashi Nihonbashi 3-chome, the annual rice cake competition will be held on Sunday (29th) this weekend. (Place: in front of Higashi-Nihonbashi 3-chome Children's Park)

This is from last year.

The freshly-made mochi is still delicious. There was also a zoni. 

 

  

In this area, the number of condominiums has increased recently, and many children have come to see them.

The shop people are kind and it is a warm area like a downtown area.

Also, at the Kanda Myojin festival, mikoshi is everywhere, and it is full of liveliness.

In the past, this area seemed to have been called "Tachibana-cho", and I feel its remnants.

  

According to my ears, at this time there seems to be such mochi-making competitions in various places in the Nihonbashi area other than Higashinihombashi.

 

It's cold outside, but my body and mind are warm.

If you are near, please take a look (*^^ *) /

"The Town of Castle"

[CAM] Nov. 26, 2015 12:00

 

I read back  "Nihonbashi Private Notebook" (published in 1972) by Yasaburo Ikeda. In the text of March 1968 entitled "Tokyo / Great Tokyo / Shitamachi", it is written as follows.

 

>Probably, the downtown area of Edo must have meant more proud, castle knees, the castle town of Edo, Shiroshita, before it became the name of down town that confronts the mountains. It must have been the birthplace of Edo and Edo towns in Edo, such as Honmachi and Tooricho, as a castle town. The words such as Shiroshita and the castle have a unique pride. ・・・・・・・・・

 It is the town where the castle was built in Edo. So the beginning was that the downtown area of Edo was a small area, and the head office, Fukagawa, beyond Okawa, was still sea or marshland, not a town, and Kanda arrived in Asakusa, along with Edo, but it was only a district in temple town in Kannon, like Ichijuku Station. It was a long time later that Kanda, Asakusa, Shitaya, and Honjo and Fukagawa became downtown, and going around Nihonbashi was when people from Asakusa and Honjo Fukagawa said, `` Go to Edo '' The downtown was a castle, not a town under the shogun's knees, but it was not a down town. (256

 

 And then

 

>Tokyo has been developing rapidly since the Edo period. At each stage, I don't think I can't say anything unless I think carefully.

 

 I'm tied it. It was in 1818 that "Shubiki" (the jurisdiction of the shrine magistrate) and "Sumibiki" (the area under the jurisdiction of the town magistrate), which can be said to be the official views of the Shogunate regarding the "range of Edo", were presented in 1818. It has been almost 230 years since Ieyasu entered the prefecture. When discussing the "range of Edo", it is impossible to say something unless you think carefully at what point and at what stage.

 

 

"Tsukiji Shrimpkin" [Shrimp soba specialty store]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 26, 2015 09:00

Tsukiji Ebikin, a shrimp soba specialty store located in Tsukiji 6-chome, diagonally in front of Namishi Inari Shrine.

It was introduced on TV, and before, in this blog, other correspondents introduced me.

It's a bit far from my company, but for shrimp lovers, it's a shrimp soba that makes you want to eat it on a regular basis.

ebiki12.JPG 

It was lunch time, so I waited out of the store for a while.

Even though it is light, the flavor and flavor of shrimp are condensed in it.

It seems that the soup has boiled sweet shrimp heads for a long time with 50 shrimps per cup.

If you eat it, you will be convinced of the naming of "Ebi soba" instead of "Ebi ramen".

Business hours

Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 17:00.

Saturday from 6 to 15 p.m.

Sunday and public holidays are regular holidays

Ginza hideaway Italian ★Colpodelastraga

[Mapo ★] Nov. 25, 2015 18:00

The second Italian Restaurant Week is
Corpo della Straga in Ginza 8-chome.
It's a difficult name, but it seems to be the name of the witch's blow.

 

It was a small question of whether or not to put in 20 people
It's a hideaway shop, but you can see a lot of attention to each dish.

 

The appetizer salad also contains quiche and is full.
Salami is salsicciapicante and Tuscanna's chinternase.
And the rare ham called Brezaoladiequeina of horse meat.
In addition, the dressing is a homemade purple carrot vinegret.
Refreshing acidity and delicious~ (*^^*)

 

RIMG2724.JPG RIMG2725.JPG

 
You can choose from 2 types of pasta, and because you are not good at shellfish, you can use carbonara.
The fall truffle is scattered.
It's a non-sticky carbonara, which is also delicious.★

 

Meat dishes are half-sized with beef fins and foiegras.
Fish dishes are Shimanami-produced poire
For the main, I ordered a separate one for two and rubbed it half.
In particular, this mackerel is fluffy and white wine swells.
I forgot to take a picture of Japanese Spanish mackerel~ (>_<)

 

RIMG2727.JPG RIMG2729.JPG

 

Dolce is homemade tiramisu.
It was creamy and delicious (*^^*)
Drinks are +100 yen, cappuccino is +200 yen.

 

RIMG2730.JPG RIMG2723.JPG

 

But I can eat such a course for 2500 yen.
Mr. Italian Restaurant Week.♪

I'd like to go at night and eat a variety of dishes in Alacarte.

 

Ginza still has many hidden famous stores and is deep (* ^^*)

There is also a reasonable pasta lunch that is not a course, so it is also recommended for OLs.★

"2015 Gathering of International Exchange in Chuo-ku"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] Nov. 25, 2015 14:00

The event was held at Tsukiji Social Education Center on Saturday afternoon, November 21.

I have participated in the "Gathering of International Exchange".

 

It was full of people who were interested in Chuo-ku and people from various countries.
Kendama, quoits, Karuta, flower tags, lucky laughter, Soroku, Hajiki, Hagoita, spinning top, ink painting (pictured is my work), furoshiki wrapping,
(Cizumi, Oden, Sri Lankan tea break corner), I enjoyed the shamisen experience corner while getting used to it.

 
In addition, Japanese culture is easily introduced, such as tea ceremony, kimono try-on, dance, ikebana, etc.
I think it was a fun time for foreigners. Maybe you want to learn Japanese casually.
It was a day when I felt that I needed more and more to deal with inbound.
