On the afternoon of Saturday, 8th, I went to Otemmacho from Ningyocho, which is crowded with the 11th Ningyo Market, while worrying about the rain.
On Ebisu Street in front of Hoda Ebisu Shrine, preparations such as decoration of Japanese lantern have begun for Bettara City, which will be held on the 19th and 20th of this month.
By the way, it is a specialty product that represents Chuo-ku, "Bedarazuke", but the recognition seems to be one more thing, and the correct answer rate was 19.7% in the Nikkei Shimbun "Tourism Quiz / Misleading Local Taste" in August this year It was the lowest and unfortunate result. 52% of the respondents, especially young people, answered "Kyoto".
But recently, I discovered that "Pico Taro", a hot topic in PPAP, is performing as "I like
pickles". I hope that this will increase the number of people who are interested in "betta pickles".
By the way, the so-called history and history of "Betta pickles and Bettara-shi" are described in detail in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", but I will tell you a little mini knowledge about "Ebisu-ko".
Ebisu, who has a prominent fish sea bream, was an "absence god" who did not go to Izumo during Kannazuki (October old calendar), where gods from all over Japan gather in Izumo.
Ebisu-ko worships Ebisu, prays for the prosperity of business, harvest of five grains, and big catches in various offerings. It is said that it will be held around October or November 20th.
Here was the background of the "Ebisu-ko" of Takarada Ebisu Shrine held on October 19 and 20.
Cheerful shouts fly around Ebisu Street, which is busy preparing for "Betara City", and it will soon be crowded with many customers. I'm looking forward to it.
