How about eel for "Winter soil"? -Eel Kappo cuisine Oedo

1. February 3, 2017 14:00

What is "Winter soil"? As you may think, "Doyo" refers to the 18 days before spring, summer, fall, and winter, so there are four times a year. This year is from January 17th to February 3rd. Summer "Ox Day of the Earth" = Since the eel has been established, other earthworms have rarely become talked about.

 

As you all know, the eel season was originally from autumn to winter, and it was not sold very much in summer, so Gennai Hiraga and Nanpo Ota were asked by an eel shop to think about a copy. It is now like a summer event to eat eel on the day of the ox in summer. However, at present, eels are cultivated more than 90%, so "season" is very irrelevant and can be enjoyed all year round.

 

Today I came to Oedo in Nihonbashi Honmachi. "Eel Kappo cuisine Oedo" is a stone guide written next to the entrance of the shop, as stated in the shop, "The beginning of the first Kansei period (1800) when Sokaya Yoshibei set up a store in Edo." It's been a long time since I visited you with entertainment 10 years ago. I visited you around 13 o'clock, but it's almost full. I would like to have Unashige Nagatsuki (3,600 yen) and my friend would have Unadon (3,800 yen). If you have a bite, you will be surprised at the taste.

Eels are certainly effective in beauty, or it's a bit nice to have them delicious. Eel may be the best for drying and fatigue in winter. I wanted to make "Eel in winter" a little popular, so I thought about something like an eel shop's turner.

 Oshi is a specialty store of tuna and mekajiki. A large mekajiki fillet was sold at a low price. This large fillet is 550 yen per piece. 

In addition, it is a block-shaped (40%) mekajiki (I heard that it is fresh enough to be eaten with sashimi), which is about 5 kgs, but it is about 1,600 yen (excluding consumption tax) I was surprised at the price.

In addition, "roiled octopus" that can be eaten immediately was also sold. Would you like to have a drink with this tonight?

Spring is coming soon

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] February 2, 2017 16:00

By the way, January is over, and in the lunar calendar, February 4 of the spring is in front of you.

The day before was Setsubun in bean-throwing ceremony, but I feel that spring has already reached that point.

 

Right now, during the New Year's Day (New Year) in China, such as China, celebrating New Year's Day in the lunar calendar.

I will meet a lot of tourists from Asia.

 

<Nihonbashi Information Center> NIHONBASHI INFORMATION, located in the basement of Coredo Muromachi 1, was lined with dolls and demons before the Hina Matsuri on March 3, creating a sense of the current season. It's getting warmer!

Let's take "courage" in the lifesaving course. From the slogan of the poster

[Koedo Itabashi] February 2, 2017 14:00

Will it be more than 20 years ago?

On the afternoon train on holidays. The way home with my family.

The toddler's son suddenly shouted, "Woo," and his face turned red.

What's wrong. What happened?

I was watching as if it were frozen without being swallowed by the circumstances.

My wife stood up fast and grabbed her son's feet upside down.

I hit the panpan and my back.

A round tablet snack popped out of his mouth.

The passengers in the car were also breathed in his wife's behavior, but saw the child exhaling his tablet and sighed a relief.

 

My wife, it's amazing.

Even though my child's emergency, I can take such action at once.

It's like a natural Saga lie.

In an emergency, he was a child who could do it.

Where did you learn?

According to the situation, a senior mom friend went to a child clogged foreign matter, and he said he tried it at once.

Now, instead of upside down, it seems that it is fundamental to hit the back on the thighs down.

 

On Saturday, January 28, I attended a "ordinary lifesaving course" at a disaster prevention class at the Kyobashi Fire Station Ginza Branch Office.

It is one of the "Town Walking Guide Course" sponsored by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

If you live in Tokyo, an overcrowded city with high-rise buildings, you will encounter an abnormal situation with a considerable probability.

There may be scenes where you are guiding many guests.

If you know, if you have done it, your body may move unconsciously.

The center of the three-hour training is cardiopulmonary resuscitation using chest compressions and practical training on how to use AEDs.

The instructor is a super veteran who has been working as a paramedic for decades.

I will show you the points crispy without looking at the course textbook.

The richness of experience is full of specific episodes that go beyond text and gives the lecture a depth.

 

There were some places that have changed from the courses I took so far.

One is the disclaimer associated with emergency rescue.

Both civil and criminal law are not liable for life-saving measures implemented based on good intentions.

You can take action without worrying about yourself.

The other is that various considerations are needed in the social media society.

In other words, it is based on the recent situation, which has the danger that images of the victim may spread.

And the feature of this course is that a lot of time is allocated to chest compression training.

"If you do this alone, you will not forget it."

"I remember my body, so I can do it."

Even during the Tokyo Marathon, a doctor carrying AEDs is running.

At the time of the Olympics, guests from many countries come to Japan.

"If you press it, you will be saved."

It seems to have been boosted by the bystander one step forward.
