"Aisan Soy Sauce" Ginza Debut Matsuya Ginza

1. March 3, 2016 16:00

100_1934.JPG100_1935.JPG

I immediately looked at Nikkei's article, "80 brands in Matsuya Ginza, a unique soy sauce nationwide." The headquarters of the traditional design studio that develops [craftsman soy sauce] is Maebashi City, and this is the first time that a store is opened outside Maebashi. On the 5th day of the opening, I heard about the second basement floor of Matsuya Ginza. When you get off the escalator, there is a notice of "craftsman soy sauce open". Immediately on the left corner, I saw a stylish logo of "craftsman soy sauce". Tastening of soy sauce! You can see customers who are asking various questions while doing so. Soy sauce in a cute bottle of 100ml is available. It is classified as "white soy sauce", "Awaguchi soy sauce", "sweet soy sauce", "dense soy sauce", "re-prepared soy sauce", and "reserved soy sauce". Soy sauce made by 80 kinds of craftsmen selected from all over the country. It is a very nice display that combines each characteristic label design. Only the best brands and breweries I see for the first time for me who use only the rich and Awaguchi of the national brands. I've had "sweet" and "tame", but there is also a kind of "re-prepared soy sauce". There is a pamphlet that illustrates what kind of dish this soy sauce goes well with, "Good with ice?" There was even "Tsuru sauce". It is said that these 80 kinds of soy sauce were searched around the country by President Takahashi himself. I noticed the cute design bottles, but this time I received "Shirotamari", "Karushi", and "Usukuchi Natural Soy Sauce". If you purchase more than 1000 yen for the opening commemoration now, you will get one extra (about 400 yen to 600 yen per bottle). This time, "Yokohama Soy Sauce". Do you make soy sauce in Yokohama?

"Karushi" is smoked soy sauce with smoked soy sauce, and it was stated in the pamphlet that "It's delicious if you put it directly on a steak or roast beef." It is a shop that makes it fun to think in the opposite pattern, "What kind of food should I make to match this soy sauce?" It's recommended as a small present because the eyes are different. Well, what goes well with this soy sauce?

Waiting for spring, Tsukuda Kawai Wai

[CAM] March 3, 2016 12:00

 I heard that the torii gate of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, which had been removed and repaired, was newly installed because it was aging and may be damaged, and on the last day of February, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine and Tsukuda Kawai I walked a little. It seems that the cherry blossoms at Tsukuda Park are waiting for the flowers to bloom, and the spring had already reached that point.         

 

 The previous torii gate was light green like a patina blew out, but the newly renovated torii gate is painted in crimson, and it seems that the presence has become quite clear.

Volunteer benefits, a high touch with runners.

[Koedo Itabashi] March 3, 2016 09:00

"Go for it. Do your best."

"Fito!"

「Nice Run」

In a loud voice, applauding or waving his hand

I'll do my best to support you.

It really makes you feel refreshed.

It feels like the black and dull belly is exposed to the sparkling sun.

 

Sunday, February 28.

"Your smile will be the Kizuna of TOKYO and the world."

I participated in the 10th Tokyo Marathon as a volunteer.

This time, 25 kilometers.

I am in charge of water supply in the Suitengu / Ningyocho area of Chuo-ku.

In a sunny marathon like today, the temperature rises.

Sufficient hydration is essential to complete the race.

Place the paper cup, board and three steps on the table to prepare.

Even if runners pass like waves one after another, they can respond quickly.

 

The calm and sunny weather is something you don't want to be in charge of water supply.

The paper cups under preparation are not scattered by the wind.

Rainwater is also avoided.

It's not just water you're using.

Mineral water of imported goods.

Runners, have you noticed the difference?

 

It is also a high magnification rate to be a runner in the Tokyo Marathon.

Volunteers also said that the quota of 10,000 people has been filled in almost one and a half days.

"When I ran as a runner last time, I was glad to cheer from the people along the road.

This time, as a volunteer, I wanted to stand on the supporting side."

At the time of the meeting, self-introduction by members who met for the first time.

There were several people who gave such a greeting.

Those who have gained experience with the second and third sessions will support the first members.

I am a highly conscious person, so I will work with my role.

"Everyone is amazing!"

 

It's quite difficult to catch a paper cup filled with water while running.

It's not uncommon to be a bashan.

But for those who missed it three times in a row, their eyes followed me.

It's okay, there's a continuous water supply corner ahead.

 

In today's sunshine, the team's charge is complete.

When you put on a crisp and clean-up setup,

We support the runners from the highest position alongside the road.

"Go for it!"

Touch, touch, touch.

"You shouldn't do it too much.

But if possible, do your best to reach the goal.

The scenery seen in the goal should be different from usual."

 

On the way back, I will stop by Daikanonji Temple in Ningyocho.

On the grounds, there is the shrine of Goho Ida Tenson, who will challenge the completion of the Tokyo Marathon.

It is said to be a sacred place for runners.

It is an activity to chase and regain the demon that has stolen Buddha's sake.

Skanda-sama, the god of agility.

I want to get the talisman of the wooden tag.

 

On the legs stretched in the futon, there was a lot of fatigue.

I'm afraid my voice will be faint tomorrow.

Remembrance of Nihonbashi Hanamachi

[Chuo Kotaro] March 2, 2016 16:00

Tokyo Chuo Net's "The 2nd Flower Town of Chuo-ku: Its History and Present"
(http://www.tokyochuo.net/issue/city/4_geisya/geisya.html) (in Japanese).
It seems that there were six flower districts in Chuo Ward: Shimbashi, Yanagibashi, Kayamachi, Shintomicho, Nihonbashi, Reigishijima.
(Hanayanagi famous book of 1926).

 

Currently, there are two flower districts that remain in Shimbashi and Kayamachi.
※I don't know if Yanagibashi's flower district is classified as Taito Ward, but according to a book, the union office was at that time.
 It seems to have been in Nihonbashi-ku.

 

This time, we strolled through Nihonbashi Hanamachi, which is also the stage of Kyoka Izumi's novel "Nihonbashi".

 

The novel "Nihonbashi" is one of Kyoka Izumi's masterpieces published by Senshokan in 1914.
I borrowed a book at the library, but I couldn't understand the text in the old style at all.
I gave up and decided to watch a movie (1956 / Director Kon Ichikawa).
However, the cover and illustrations of the borrowed book were drawn by Komura Saitai, and are very tasteful.
I think it was worth borrowing a book just by seeing this picture.
I don't mention the contents of the novel, but the story focuses on the main character Takashi, Kiyoha, Osensei, Shinzo Katsuragi, and
A story woven by unique characters such as Akakuma develops.
Each scene of the movie is very similar to the illustrations of the novel, and the story, as well as the atmosphere, is the best.
It was a very interesting movie to watch. If you have a chance, I would like to take a look.

It is located in Nihonbashi Hanamachi, but the area around Motodaikumachi, Hinokimachi, and Sukiyacho (currently Yaesu 1-chome).
・It seems that it was a part of Nihonbashi 2-chome and 3-chome. In general, it seems to be around the red frame of the map.

ck1509_20160302 (5). jpg

 

If you walk around here, there is no scenery that appears in illustrations of movies or novels, but there is no view that appears in the illustrations of movies or novels.

There are alleys in the neighborhood, and the place where there are many drinking places is reminiscent of the flower town at that time.
The long-established Kappo cuisine Shimamura, the sake bar "Izumiya", the soba restaurant "Yabuku", the Kujumochi "Nagato".
I wonder if the long-established stores such as Oden's "Otayuki" have been around since the peak of Nihonbashi Hanamachi.
I took a walk in memory of those days. (Refer to the photo for alleys and streets.)

ck1509_20160302 (6). jpg

 

In addition, the Nihonbashi geisha Association proceeds from the Tokyo Station side of Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St. to Yaesu Nakadori.
There was. Fire insurance special map attached to the map story "Nihonbashi of that day" (Takeyodo)
You can check the name (commonly known as "Hiho Figure" around 25-30).
※On the map of this blog, it seems that the blue star seal was the place where the union was located.

 

In the movie "Nihonbashi", scenes of Ichiishibashi and Enmei guardian of children and travelers (Nipponbashinishi Riverside Jizoji Association) often appear.
I'll come. Enmei Jizo-son preserves the "Sensei's figure", which is a new actor Hanayanagi.
It was dedicated when Taro Sho played the role of Sensei. This picture also drew the cover and mouth picture of the novel.
It is due to Komura Yukidai. The picture is decorated in main hall, and you can see it from outside.
(According to the explanation version, it seems that applicants can see the picture if they request.) 。
In addition, it seems that Enmei Jizo-son has a benefit as a marriage.
Ichiishibashi and Enmei guardian of children and travelers were shown on the map with red stars.
