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.
