[Chuo-ku Soba Tour] (1) "Ginza Meigetsuan Tanakaya"

[Shitamachi Tom] March 15, 2016 09:00

Edo Soba Rie design. jpg Do you know an organization called the Edo Soba Rie Association? We are engaged in various activities as a non-profit organization, so-called NPO.
Above all, there is a program called "Edo Soba Rie" certification, and many soba lovers challenge each year. I did my best a few years ago. 

 One of the qualification requirements is to "visit a lot of soba shops and report their taste, the atmosphere and characteristics of the shop." I visit various shops, but there are many famous soba shops in Chuo-ku, so there was no need to go out, so I was able to visit many shops in the city.

 

 Humanly, when you become "Soba Rie", you will be surprised that there are many friends in Chuo-ku, and more specifically, there are so many people who like soba. I was able to get a lot of new encounters through soba. Above all, soba is a Japanese taste that continues along with sushi, tempura, and eel as a food culture of Edo. In recent years, the number of young soba craftsmen has increased, and I sometimes come into contact with the appearance of working on soba with new sensibilities. I feel it's a deep food.

Ginza Tanakaya_201500510_1_R.jpg As I wrote earlier, there are many famous soba shops in Chuo Ward. Each of you will have a favorite store. It's also fun to change your mood depending on the day and visit various shops. I would like to explore the charm of Chuo-ku while introducing my recommended shops.

 

 Today, I would like to introduce "Akizuki-an Tanakaya" in Ginza. It is a safe shop located in an alley near Yasuaki Elementary School. Not only the soba is delicious, but also the casual atmosphere of the store, the staff's quick handling of customers, and the selection of sake and appetizers are attractive. And what's good, they're open on Sunday too. It's the best oasis to stop by when you want to rest and relax between shopping.

 Of course, on the evening of weekdays, it is best to visit this shop through the dark streets, licking little bits of sake, and having a tight soba after having a satisfying taste with a friendly appetizer.

 In the middle of Tokyo, this shop is close to the back alleys of one of Japan's leading downtown areas, and it is an "adult place" that embodies urban culture. Please visit again between "Silver Bra".

 In the former Tsukuda Island area, Inari Shrine is enshrined in three places and four companies.

Part (Kamimachi) is one of the precincts of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, and is said to have been transferred from 1-chome Odenmacho in 1869.

In the second part (Shitamachi), "Mori Inari Shrine" is said to have originated from the Yashikigami, which was enshrined by the Magoemon Mori clan who opened Tsukuda Island.

In the third part (Azumacho), "Nami (Nami) Inari Shrine, O (O) Saki Inari Shrine", where the remnants of the former Ryoshimachi remain dark in the inscription of Tamagaki.

It is unique that two shrines are lined up.

The names of the two shrines are written on the flat of the torii facing the street, and a small torii gate is built in front of Osaki Inari Daimyojin, and the torii is nested.

Every year on the first day of March, or on a Sunday close to this, the first day of the festival is held.

This year is March 13 (Sun).

The lecturer of Sumiyoshi Tsukuda will be in charge of the festival.

In addition to the fried food as a sacred dish, Japanese spiny lobster and red sea bream are also served, lanterns are displayed, and many dedication flags dyed with the name of each shrine are lined up and wrapped in a festival mood.

On the day, 10: 00, Miyaji of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine goes around each Inari-sha and executes the repair ceremony.

The sound of children hitting the drums set in front of Inari Shrine echoes throughout the town.

 

From the left, Irifune Inari Shrine, Mori Inari Shrine, Namiwa Inari Shrine, and Osaki Inari Shrine.

[Showa Doritanken Record] #07: At-home Healing Pet Shop (Ginza 2-chome)

[Dye] March 14, 2016 14:00

Hello. The pollen is flying around, how are you all going?

 

By the way, I love cats very much, but I'm sad, maybe I'm allergic and sneezed, so I've never kept them at the cat cafe for a while. 。 。

 

So, in fact, if you pass in front of this, you will be healed by seeing a cat dog.

That's why this time, I would like to introduce the pet salon "Char Charles Ginza" in Ginza 2-chome.

s25_01.jpg

 It is on the way to Chuo-ku government office along the road between Ginza Ichi Post Office on Showa-dori and Kuroneko Yamato Building.

 

It opened 16 years ago on November 22 (Wanwan Nyan Nyan Nyan Day).

In a cozy atmosphere, I will kindly teach you a lot of things you don't understand.

And above all, the love for dogs and cats is very deep.

s25_02.jpg s25_03.jpg

Charles' wish is that they want these children to be loved and be happier than they are here ('@`*).

 

It was said that breeders were also being done, and on the day I heard the story, there was a rare ear-breaking manchikan.

In the past, he also handled large dogs such as Great Pirenees and Barneys.

s25_04.jpg s25_05.jpg

All of Charles's children are good.

He had a good personality, was friendly, relaxed and calm, and after a while I was on the side (* ^^*)

 

In addition, the following is done, and anyone can use it.

☆Trimming (reservation required. If your hands are empty, you can jump in.

☆Training consultation (held once a month. Reservation required.

☆Pet hotel

s25_08.jpg 

 

It would be nice to start a new life in spring soon with a cute partner.

In the case of a cat, it is OK if it is tall, and he is good at answering machine.◎

 

Charles is a reassuring shop that can help you, and it's a coincidence, the veterinary clinic and pet goods shop are close to you.

 s25_10.jpg

 

In addition, there are many people like me who can't keep it but look at it, and that's OK.

In fact, while listening to the story, many people stopped walking in front of the shop and looked into the window.

The hot spot I found in Ginza.

Please take a glimpse into it and will be healed ~ (=^ ・ ^=)

The 5th-generation Jakuemon Attack Name: Kabukiza Theater

1. March 14, 2016 12:00

100_1937.JPG100_1940.JPG

It is a topic that Shinjaku Uemon will play two roles day and night, called "Tokihime" and "Yukihime" and Kabuki's "Mikihime" in the name of the attack, which began on the 3rd. In particular, the princess at the time of "Kamakura Sandaiki" in the daytime was the first role. You can see the enthusiasm of Shinjaku Uemon. It's the Kabuki Theater on the seventh day. It's a bit disappointing that there are few kimonos due to the rain from the morning, but it's full! The celebration of the name of the attack was written by Toshio Matsuo. The person who shoots is conspicuous. I'm right away.

 

100_1942.JPGThe night part is the "Square Field" of the "Sou Butterfly Wind Circle Diary". The wet hair is Hashinosuke, and Kikunosuke is Hokoma and Yogoro. By the way, it's a good idea. It is spectacular and luxurious that Fujijuro, Koshiro, Yoshiemon, Nizaemon and other executives line up on the stage. It is a pity that Kikugoro, who always makes me laugh with a lot of humor at his mouth, is ill and is absent from the first day and cannot be seen. The stage art of the attacking name is also wonderful with Professor Toshio Matsuo. It's finally Kinkaku-ji Temple. The scene where the cherry blossoms in full bloom are blown on the tied sparrow Uemon's Yukihime is just a beautiful word. Daizen is Koshiro, Konoshita is Nizaemon, Keijuin is Fujijuro, Umetama and Utaroku are a luxurious caster unique to the attack performance. Before I went out, I was unusually ill, but it was strange that I recovered more and more while watching the play. Will the enthusiasm of the stage influence? A special bottle of sakezawa Noi on the Kyoya label is also on sale. There are a lot of attacking goods, so please take a look at the intermission.

For Chiakiraku, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku at 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00)  Kikugoro has returned from the 12th.

 

 

Recommended "Asari Ramen" [Ramen Matsudomi]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 14, 2016 09:00

This is Ramen Matsudomi, a ramen shop located on the back street of Ginza 6-chome near Yasuaki Elementary School and Sony Showroom.

rama01.JPG 

The signboard states special Matsudomi gyoza and specialty Dandan noodles, but I recommend "Asari Ramen" here.

rama02.JPG 

It is characterized by its large salt butter-flavored soup, straight thin noodles, and clam grains.

Since Tsukiji is near, I go to Tsukiji by motorcycle at dawn after closing.

Due to the purchase, the number is limited.

I recommend "Casari Ramen" which is light and rich.

rama03.JPG 

My address is Ginza 6-4-16.

The map below, red □That's right.
