Walking around the town and encountering Edo Japanese sweets (Ningyocho 2.3, Hamacho, Kakigaracho)

[Dharma] July 13, 2016 09:00

Ningyocho 2-3-chome is a town that has been integrated with Hamacho in Meijiza and Kakigara-cho in Suitengu, and has a history of entertainment from the Edo period to the Meiji Taisho era. Houses that escaped from the air raid in 1945 remain, and Ningyocho and amazake Yokocho are home to popular shops, long-established restaurants, artisan shops, and sweet shops. Perhaps the Edo landscape of the early Meiji era written in "Shigure Hasegawa's Old Mon Nihonbashi" was reproduced in "now"....It is a town where you can feel the illusion.

 

I visited Nihonbashi 7 Fukujin's rebuilt Suitengu Shrine and Suehiro Shrine, 2-chome where Chinowa remains.

Ningyocho 2-chome (Ningyocho-dori on the Meijiza side) is full of long-established Japanese sweets, but Kakigara-cho is not found, and Hamacho has Ginza Akebono Hamacho Store and Shigeru Chitsuki. This time, it is the taste record of 2-chome "Tamaeido Hikokuro", "Itakuraya" and "Setsukido".

 

The 24th generation of the Japanese confectionery "Tamaeido Hikokuro" on Ningyocho-dori protects the curtain. It was founded in Kyoto around 1576 in Tensei 4 (1576), and after the war, opened a store in Ningyocho. The popular "Torayaki" is famous confectionery with a good texture of the fluffy skin and bean paste with a tiger pattern, and the recommended "Tamabun" is a five-colored layer of bean paste, a masterpiece of appearance and flavor like a princess. In Kyoto, there was "Mizunazuki" at the store, which is eaten for Natsukoshi exorcism.↓

When you walk along Ningyocho Street, it smells fragrant! Founded 110 years ago Ningyo-yaki "Itakuraya", with the smile of customers, Seven Lucky Gods's "Ningyo-yaki" has the taste of the skin and the Edo flavor of moist koshi bean paste.

On the main street near Suehiro Shrine, Seigetsudo opened in Ningyocho 2-chome in 1933. Representative famous confectionery "One Grass Chestnut Man" is a delicious product with grain chestnuts gently wrapped in white bean paste. "Dorayaki" is a solid bean paste, but it has an Edo style with no aftertaste.

It's over this time.

 

 

 

Uokin Piccolo Ginza 1-chome Store A Delicious Carpaccio Shop

[Silver] July 12, 2016 18:00

This shop was opened about three years ago, but it's quite a secret. 

If you ask if you can publish a blog today, you can see it. This is a report that is prepared. 

 The first thing I ordered was a classic of fresh fish carpaccio and sashimi that loves sashimi. The freshness will be transmitted. First of all, white wine was poured using beer and surface tension as much as possible. My smile spilled.

 Today, the eggplant and anchovie marinade were also delicious. The next sommelier also poured out with waves and waves. !With a spilling smile, the spilling wine, full of youth, fat! I had 3 cups.

As always, this is WOG. (without guaranty)

If you are a good friend, you can easily enter this shop anytime.

But it seems to be crowded these days, so it's better to make a reservation.

My friend and delicious wine made the night more enjoyable. The place of the shop is Ginza 1-chome, the whole back side of Kochi. 

 

 

Art Nouveau decorative porcelain famous kiln in Western Europe

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] July 12, 2016 16:00

France's Ransai, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany exhibited at the Paris World Exposition in 1889 and 1900.
A collection of decorative porcelain works and works with the atmosphere of Art Nouveau, whose influence has been transmitted to Japan.
It is exhibited at the Mitsui Memorial Museum in Nihonbashi.

 

Porcelain is fired at about 1300 ° C using clay, quartz, and pebble as raw materials.
One of the features is that if you hit it lightly, you will have a metal sound.
I think European magnetism has historically been greatly influenced by Asian technology, and what is on display are the ones on display.
Savre, Royal Copenhagen, KPM Berlin, Bing Grendale, Meissen,
I thought it was a roast land, and it was a unique gem that reminds me of each country.
A dignified vase with a flower motif, a design that gives dreams, tableware with many natural flora and fauna, etc.
There was also a pattern that took the subject from the Hokusai manga, and we had a pleasant time.

  

In addition, there is Art Nouveau by Kozan Miyagawa, who is famous for his superb technique, and says that he will challenge everything of the master.
I felt the atmosphere.

 

It is on display until August 31.

Recommended "Special Omurice" (Higashiginza)

[Mido] July 12, 2016 14:00

"Omurice" in this shop can be said on your own preference and on your own.

I think we'll be in the top 3 in Chuo-ku. Located near Ginza Kabukiza Theater

The name "A Voter Sante Endo" is long and hard to remember.

The place is in an easy-to-understand place. (1 minute walk from Higashiginza)

 

Of course, there are a lot of dishes, but I would like to recommend this restaurant.

It's a special omelet. The price is a little high at 1300 yen.

I don't regret it. Chicken is Oyama chicken, rice is fresh rice of Koshihikari from Uonuma.

Fresh eggs sent directly from the production area, the luxury of using 4 pieces of them in one plate.

The plenty of onion is very sweet, and it is a butter-rich fluffy egg

Rich tomato ketchup matches. The eggs are baked.

It's not a feeling, it's not hard, and it's just right to adjust it softly. Simple

Therefore, I think it is the perfect form of exquisite omelet rice.

At dinner time, shrimp and scallops are added, and the "seafood" is full of the scent of the beach.

You can also enjoy "Omurice" (1680 yen).

I hope you will stop by when you come near you.

Ningyo-cho Sokaya-The secret story of shooting "Newcomers" that can be said now②

[rosemary sea] July 12, 2016 09:00

It is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" as a territories.

 

DSC01211b.jpgToday, I visited Ningyocho Kusakaya, a rice cracker shop in amazake Yokocho, Ningyocho. There is our owner at the left end of the shop.

Following the previous Yuma Nihonbashi, this is the second location tour of Keigo Higashino's novel and TV drama "Newcomer" and the novel and movie "Kirin no Tsubasa" about five years ago.

Even so, in order, Kusakaya appears in the first episode in both novels and dramas. In the future, I will continue to go around the location without keeping the order.

DSC01209b.jpg DSC01204b.jpg

First of all, I would like to introduce them.

 

Hand-baked rice crackers

DSC01199a.jpgDSC01213a.jpgThat hand-baked rice cracker that appeared in "newcomers" as a rice cracker "Amakara".

Even now, the craftsmen bake each one with all their heart according to the manufacturing method at the time of its founding.

Mikisuke Katsura, the third generation, said that this hand-baked rice cracker was hidden in a safe so that his disciple could not eat it.

DSC01210a.jpg

The origin of "Okoge" is that Kabuki's 17th generation Kanzaburo Nakamura, was told to burn this hand-baked rice cracker more when he was young.

 

Here, the food repo team in my workplace appeared.

Mr. Ikura. "It's light in a good sense, and it's not too hard. You can eat as many as you like."

Mr. F River. "It's very savory. The taste of soy sauce is irresistible."

Mr. Tsan, 3. "I'm not good at being too hard, but I can do it. The deep taste of soy sauce comes out of the nose. Harmony of rice and soy sauce."

In addition, okoshi, pepper, shrimp, blue seaweed, sesame, demon stick, hare Hisasuke, no raising ... I will see you.

 

DSC01212b.jpgDSC01205b.jpgThere is also a great deal. The sellers are hand-baked assortment (left in the photo on the right), hand-baked and okaki assortment (right in the photo on the right), both are 2,000 yen.

Hand-baked rice crackers can also be wrapped in wrapping paper. I brought it to my husband.

DSC01207a.jpg

 

Well, this is the secret story of shooting "Newcomer" that I kept you waiting.

From here, the daughter of the shop mainly explained. Unfortunately, we couldn't appear in the photo.

DSC01200b.jpgDSC01202a.jpgDSC01203a.jpg

"When did you shoot 'Newcomer'? Other shops had a lot of sets, but we took them at the shop. Before the shooting began, Hiroshi Abe, the leading role, and Etsuko Ichihara, the role of grandma in Amakara, came to see and made preparations in advance. Both of you were very good. Of course, Takashi Kobayashi, the master's role, and Kyo, the daughter's role. However, Mr. Abe is natural. Our shop has a step of about 18 centimeters inside. If you take off your shoes here, your performance will be interrupted. Only when shooting, I pulled the mat so that I could go up all with my feet. After that, when recording other programs on the same TV station in the subsequent broadcast, Mr. Abe came and the other staff took off his shoes and went up, but only Mr. Abe was not on his feet. ・I don't think there was a bad mood."

"For about three months of shooting, there was a shooting here and there in Ningyocho. So even after our shooting is over, the actor staff said, "I'm sorry, please lend me a restroom." It's like that. It feels like a homey town is watching over you. (I agree with you, I love this town. "Rozmari"

"Mr. Higashino in Taiwan, dramas are popular. The books are also sold, and Mr. Abe is also very popular. People in Taiwan, the power of Asia is amazing, even now. The first customer in the morning is Taiwanese. ("Half is from Taiwan in the morning.") 」

"I also took a picture of" Kirin Tsubasa ", but it was only aired where it entered the shop. The rest is cut. Come with three trucks and replace the inside with the props you brought and the shop. I wanted to move every Saturday and Sunday for a month, replacing it with the fine sign of "Amakara". It was a moment."

"My family is a grandmother, dad and me (daughter), as in novels and dramas. But in novels and dramas, there is a scene where grandma gets sick. From others, "Grandma is okay?" That's different from the drama, but ... I was in trouble."

"Mr. Higashino, I came to the interview in advance. I didn't call myself, but I've been asking a lot of questions. In the novel modern era in 2004, about a year after the first episode appeared on the theme of "Daughter of a rice cracker shop", until the second episode began, but I thought I could read it out. One day, Kodansha contacted me that it would be a book, and this is the poster given at that time (upper left). After that, people from different customers are taking pictures from outside the shop. What are these guys? That was Mr. Higashino's novel fan. I want to make a drama immediately after that, I want to shoot ..."
