Hot break in cold winter (amazake)

[Tachibana] January 26, 2016 14:00

I went to amazake Yokocho in Ningyocho on the cold Saturday of the twenty-third.

The name of amazake Yokocho is said to be derived from the fact that Owari-ya sold amazake at the intersection of amazake Yokocho and Ningyo-dori.

At present, Mr. Futaba, a tofu shop, can serve amazake at amazake Yokocho.

There was a bench in front of the shop, and on this day there were people who were warming up by drinking amazake in the cold.

And what is famous in amazake is Chiyoda-ku, but there are two sweet liquor stores, Mikawaya and Amanoya, located in front of Kanda Myojin Suijinmon.

"Mikawaya" seems to have been around since the early Edo period, and "Amanoya" has been around since the late Edo period.

There are people who drink amazake deliciously here too.

It's cold, but why don't you warm your body in amazake during the cold?
