Udon (Chiyomanmi Tokyo)

Chiyomanmi Tokyo is a Udon restaurant located on the first basement floor of Tokyo Square Garden, a commercial building directly connected to Kyobashi Station on the Ginza Line.

The origin of the store name "Chiyomanmi" seems to be Chiyo (Chiyo = eternal) Man (satisfaction) Mi (taste).

The shop is very open and comfortable.

For lunch, I ordered beef stewed udon as a single item.

The spicy taste of this beef stew is good.

At lunchtime, udon is served as a set of martoku udon noodles, egg rice, curry rice, rice balls, and oinari each.

You can also choose the udon from kake, chicken, shrimp, beef stew, fox, vegetable, and chicken curry.

The set is quite volumey.

Night is night, and it becomes an izakaya with plenty of sake brands.

However, this is also udon.

It is located on the left hand corner of Harumi-dori St. and Ginza 4-chome intersection in the direction of Miharabashi.

An old map exhibition and sale is currently being held on the first floor of the Yaesu Book Center main store located at the south exit of Yaesu Station at JR Tokyo Station.

This is to display and sell reprinted old maps of Edo, Meiji and Showa eras.

When you start seeing old maps of Edo, you will see them and you will not be able to leave them easily.

Overlaying the current map with the head, it takes time in no time.

Old maps are really attractive.

The period is from Monday, June 27 to Sunday, July 10.

The Chinese cuisine dynasty is full of quiet and delicious cospa.

[Silver] July 2, 2016 14:00

 The Ginza dynasty is a Chinese restaurant that I wanted to come from before.

Guided in front of the store, "A signboard set five grains rich noodles + handmade small basket wrap, three appetizers, noodle with desserts free ¥1,350"

KIMG1679 (203x360). jpg

When I ordered, I gave a paper apron because I thought that the soup of the small basket package should be scattered.

I'm very happy with this hospitality.

 

The store was clean with a white-based interior, and the inside of the store was quiet even during lunch. A well-cold oolong tea heals the thirst, restores energy and restores appetite.

KIMG1681 (360x203). jpg

 

Following the three kinds of appetizers, there were three likely char shoes with a thickness of 8 mm, followed by a hot small basket.

KIMG1682 (360x203). jpg

 

I was convinced by the explanation that it would be delicious to take the small basket package into lotus, rinse a little juice, soak it in black vinegar, and eat it with needle ginger.

The last mango pudding came out was also very delicious.

Next time, I'm going to go after 13:00, when coffee after meals is free service.

The address of the shop is 1-13-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Hoken Building Annex 1-chome, 1-13-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku

Phone: 050-5797-1107.

It's between Musashi Gallery, Kitano Construction and Ann Tik Mall.

The inside of the store is divided into two spaces across the cash register, up to 12 private rooms, up to 30 people reserved. Sunday is a regular holiday.

Eitarou Sohonbu 3-Each product and interesting story Part 2-

[rosemary sea] July 2, 2016 09:00

DSC01156a.jpgDSC01155a.jpgThis is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an idea.

 

Introducing the three products that were missing last time by Eitaro Sohonho.

  

 

3.The story of fruit juice candy

 

It appeared in 2013. Collaboration product with Nepure Co., Ltd. Evolutionary system of the Eitaro candy series.

Nepure (nepuree). New processing technology that "do not cut" or "do not crush" fruits, which are materials. Since it does not damage the cells of the material, it is suitable to make it puree without damaging the taste, nutritional value and aroma of the material. Overheating steam treatment of 370 degrees + centrifugal force. Fruit candy with the original sweetness, aroma, and vivid colors of the juice were created without using coloring or fragrance. I don't rely on any additives.

Juice candy won the 2012 Food Action Nippon Award Food Category Excellence Award.

  

 

4.The story of Amana sugar

 

 

eitaro 009a.jpgClick here for the ancestor of Amanatto. The first generation Eitaro devised it as a confectionery for the common people.

Received the honor prize at the 1st National Industrial Expo in 1877.

In 1921, Emperor Showa ordered his visit to Europe during his time of the Crown Prince.

Japan's first sweet natto, Amana sugar. Even Eitaro is sold only at Nihonbashi Main Store. This is a chakichaki Edo sweets born at the side of Edo Nihonbashi.

Everything is manufactured by hand and does not use machines.

※ I'm particular about beans.

That said, it's not just a matter of thorough sorting.

We have been using Kintoki Sasage consistently from the beginning.

The feature of this bean. It has a hard surface. Even if boiled, the skin does not break and "I do not cut my stomach = I do not cut my stomach (the samurai hates) = good luck." That's why it's also used for red rice. The red beans are torn.

That's not the only thing. Hard means that when pickled in honey, even if the outside becomes sweet, it does not become too sweet to the core. With other beans, the whole becomes sweeter. This is not good.

At that time, they used Kawagoe products from Musashi Saitama, and in recent years they purchased Okayama products. Now expensive beans.

I'm sucking the sweetness moderately.

※ The origin of the name.

Lake Hamana's specialty "Hamana sugar bean" is named Amana sugar.

Actually, the first friend advised the first generation to name it, and the first one decided.

After that, in the streets, Dainagon red beans ("Donagon"), quail beans, hide beans, etc. became used as raw materials, and similar sweets called Amanatto were made.

Eitaro protects the appearance at the time of its creation correctly.

 

 

5.The story of Black Karinto

DSC01194b.jpg

 

In May 2011, this karinto appeared in the drama "JIN-Nin" of Nippon Television.

At the time of the broadcast, it was released as JIN's Karinto in collaboration with Seven-Eleven, and it was an explosive sales. I heard that the factory screamed at a sudden inquiry.

The package is different from the collaboration product 5 years ago, but the taste of Karinto does not change.
