[Dharma] September 28, 2016 14:00

Ginza 4-chome intersection "The traffic light changes-Voice of a female police officer at the 4-chome police box" If you walk a little along Harumi-dori St., you can see the Kabuki Hall of Fame, which was rebuilt with a cultural facility and a high-rise office tower. It is the face of Ginza, which leads Japanese performing arts and culture from the first Kabukiza Theater in 1889 (1889).

This is an introduction of a Japanese confectionery shop that is related to Kabukiza.

 

Ginza 4-chome Kashiwaya Confectionery was founded in 1890, the year following the opening of Kabukiza. Behind the Kabukiza Theater, the appearance of an old-fashioned Japanese confectionery shop. Be loved...It is a long-established store where you can easily drop in. The fourth-generation husband and landlady of the elderly protect the taste of Edomae. There are also delicious seasonal Japanese sweets, but the reputable "Mame Daifuku" is a highly acclaimed taste. Red rice gripping is also popular, and I went to buy a fairy on the equinoctial week. In November, he said, "Daifuku..."It appears in the famous store introduction book.

Ginza 6-chome "Soraya" was founded in Ueno Ikenohata in 1884 with the introduction of Eitaro's craftsmen from a tatami shop in and out of Edo Castle. Since the first generation was a member of the Kanto Sorayashu who follow the flow of the dance memorial Buddha, it is derived from the name of the store and the shape in the middle. It is said that the first generation was inspired by the story of Danjuro, the ninth generation who had a friendship, and sold out the middle of the burning skin. Seasonal Japanese sweets are also available, and Soseki Natsume's friends also appear as cats. Prior to 1951, when the 4th Kabukiza Theater was rebuilt, he moved to Ginza Namiki-dori St. in 1949, and made a reservation as "Soraya Monaka" in Ginza (telephone is also Ok), and a shop that is clear by pick-up. Savory burning skin and glossy bean paste...It is said that it will be packed in a plastic bag and will last for a week.
