Things to change and things to keep protecting - Taimeiken

[rosemary sea] October 20, 2017 16:00

This is a rosemary sea, covering "gifts and enjoy yourself" neutral.

 

This time, I would like to introduce Taimeiken, a long-established and popular Western restaurant in Nihonbashi.

The founder is Shingo Modegi.

 

Independent in 1931 (Showa 6) and moved to Nihonbashi in 1948 (Showa 23).

After pursuing "Western food for the Japanese", he went from the first to second generation to Masaaki.

 

Master a.jpgAnd to the third generation, Koji. (The image on the right)

It seems that the number and taste of dishes have been changed according to the times.

However, there are things that continue to protect, things that have been firmly inherited.

From parents to children, and to grandchildren.

The traditional taste, this is certainly true.

This is why it was loved by many celebrities, including writer Shotaro Ikenami.

 

Mr. Tsuruoka, who is in charge of public relations at Taimeiken Co., Ltd.

We also provided an image.

 

In addition, here is an article introducing the kite museum on the 5th floor of Taimeiken.

⇒   /archive/2017/10/post-4674.html

⇒  /archive/2017/10/post-4675.html

 

Let me introduce you.

 

The first floor is a Western restaurant where you can enjoy casual atmosphere.

The line has not stopped since the opening time.

The secret of the popularity is that you can enjoy the taste since its founding at an affordable price.

L1180067b.jpg

Furthermore, not to mention again here, the dandelion omelet (Itami Juzo style) became famous for Juzo Itami's movie "dandelion".

You all know.

Fluffy omelet on chicken rice, if you make a cut quickly with a knife ... it is opened in a half-ripe manner ... The attraction at the amusement park is already on a face.

 

Omurice -1c.jpg

There are also standard omelets made with omelets and ham rice wrapped in eggs.

 

DSC_0154c.jpg L1180096a.jpg

And Balcich (left) and Coleslaw (right), they are still offered for 50 yen.

I can't help you. I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

Here is the food lipo of the Rosmari family's dandelion omelet.

"The omelet is soft and the taste is best.

I think it can be enjoyed by adults and children."

 

The second floor is a Western restaurant where you can taste authentically.

You can calm down and have traditional dishes. We also have a course meal.

Small dish 4a.jpg

The specialty dish here is small dishes.

A customer-oriented dish that allows you to enjoy a lot of different dishes little by little.

That should be the case, and it seems that this small dish is based on the words from customers.

"As you get older, you will not be able to eat quantitatively.

If you eat this dish, you will not be able to eat the next dish, so it's bad but it's left.

Is there any idea that the amount is small and you can eat variously? " And so.

・・・ It seems that the first generation, Shingo, began to serve small dishes from here.

 

The 3rd and 4th floors are banquet and party space.

You can enjoy cooking with friends who are relaxed in great hall.

We are also preparing dishes according to your wishes, and we look forward to your inquiries.

This is an introduction of the "Nihonbashi Long-established Husband Talk Show" to be held on the special stage in front of Fukutoku Shrine (map below, the location of ⇒) on the day.

Aritodo is a book material specialty store founded in 1912.

In addition to handling brushes, ink, inkstones, Japanese paper, and pigments, we also tailor framed and shafts.

There is a shop right away from Chuo-dori to Muromachikoji.

Nihonbashi Toyoda is a long-established Kappo cuisine with a history of more than 150 years since late Tokugawa shogunate was founded in 1863.

By all means, please gather at the special stage venue in front of Fukutoku Shrine after noon on the day.

Everyone is fine even in the rain! "Chuo-ku Children's Festival"

[Edamame] October 19, 2017 16:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

October 15 (Sun), when it became cold at a stretch due to rain.

The 38th Chuo-ku Children's Festival was held at Hamacho Park, near my home.

The target is "about 3 years old to elementary school students"

I went with my little flying daughter Azuki (2 years and 4 months).

 

17-10-16-10-56-04-655_deco-1.jpg

Well, the weather was just one.

There are so many children!

It was quite busy.

Probably, children (+ their parents) come from all over the city.

 
The guide map for rainy days was also prepared in advance.

DSC_2041-1.jpg

It seems that there were many places where the place of the event changed between sunny and rainy weather.

This is thankful.

 

The "General Sports Center", which is always taken care of, is also the venue.

DSC_2055-1.jpg

 

To the main stadium on the 2nd floor where you usually have no chance to enter.

17-10-16-10-59-32-374_deco-1.jpg

There is a large "air athletic" in the shape of a dog

(Nihonbashi 4 Division District Committee)

DSC_2060-1.jpg

There is a peacekeeping battle. (Tsukishima Daini Elementary and Young)

I couldn't take a picture, but it seems that there was also a track out (center small).

・・・ Let's try these when the azuki grows a little more.

The trampoline was "from 3 years old."

It's a bit advanced to kick a soccer ball toward the goal ...
 
 
Instead.

DSC_2057-1.jpg

I tried shooting (Yasuaki small) (with two-person haori).

DSC_2058-1.jpg

・・It's hard! (My mother)

But I got a prize.

Azuki chooses hair rubber by himself. I'm 2 years old, but I'm a girl.

 
On the outside ground

DSC_2040-1.jpg

There is a fire truck riding experience corner (Nihonbashi Fire Station).

(Azuki didn't stubbornly try to ride ...)
 

In the tent in the park

The work corner of each elementary school and kindergarten in the city was a great success.

Among them, I was able to do it.

DSC_2043-1.jpg

Soap "Decoupage" (Sakamoto Ko)

Decorate cute sheet by attaching it to soap.

Next, ...

DSC_2046-1.jpg

Roll it down...

"Super Ball Making" (Hisatsu Elementary / Young)

 

Colorful shape that comes out when you cut black paper!

"Rainbow Paper Art" (Akimasa Ko)

 
And put cute balls, illustrations, beads, sand ...

DSC_2067-1.jpg

"Kirakira ★ Aqua Dome" (Akashi Elementary / Young)

 

When I was two years old, I still have no words.

"Which is better" came out

And I was able to convey it to my mother.

So, "Which kind of soap pattern is better?"

"What color should I put the ball inside?"

When you hear it, they say, "This."

Because I have that one cushion

There will be a feeling that "I chose myself" or "I tried it myself".

He grabbed what he made at each booth with enthusiasm and walked through Hamacho Park with a smiley face.

Even after returning home, I held the soap and said, "Soap! Just! I was in a good mood.

 

Next year, I'll be able to do more ...

I would like to look forward to the next year's Children's Festival.

 

 

This weekend, "Fukutoku Festival" finally!

Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm Rice Harvesting-Hakuzuru Sake Brewery-

[rosemary sea] October 18, 2017 16:00

It's rosemary sea, which supplies "gifts and enjoy yourself."

 

Hakutsuru Ginza Style (HAKUTSURU GINZA STYLE), who always introduces seminars, is located in the Tokyo branch office building of Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. headquartered in Kobe.

 

This time, we introduce "Hakuzuru Ginza Tenku Farm" on the roof of this Ginza building.

As part of disseminating sake, Hakutsuru Sake Brewery has created "Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm" as a project to make rice on the roof of the Tokyo branch office building since 2007, and cultivated its own sake rice "Hakutsuru Nishiki". I am working on it.

DSC02962a.jpg

DSC02963a.jpg DSC02965a.jpg

This year, "Hakuzuru Nishiki", which was planted in June, grew steadily, and the harvest time has come.

Today (October 14) is the long-awaited rice harvesting.

DSC02967a.jpg DSC_5294a.jpg

This time, Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm Manager: Mr. Asami Oda and Mr. Matsushita, Deputy General Manager of Sales Division, Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.

 

DSC02991a.jpg

Here, about Hakutsuru Sake Brewery's original sake rice "Hakutsuru Nishiki" ...

In order to develop excellent sake rice, the breeding of Hakutsuru Nishiki was started to elucidate the excellent characteristics of Yamada Nishiki, the best varieties of sake rice, and to develop even better sake rice.

In 1995, we started crossing the variety "Wataribune", the father of Yamada Nishiki, and the mother "Yamadabo", and registered the excellent variety as "Hakutsuru Nishiki" in 2007.

 

What is an excellent sake rice (sakamai)?

The preferred properties include "large grain", "low protein and fat", "large white heart", and "high absorption rate".

 

What is "Shinpaku"?

It refers to the starch in the center of rice suitable for sake brewing, the part that looks white and opaque.

The starch tissue is coarse, so it looks white.

 

And the features of "Hakuzuru Nishiki" are ...

Compared to Yamada Nishiki, the number of grains and heart whites is similar to that of Yamada Nishiki.

Therefore, the taste when you drink it is deep.

DSC_5306a.jpg

DSC02968a.jpg

The weather on this day stopped raining and cloudy. It's miraculous.

After the greetings of the farm manager, Miss Sake, the signal of the farm manager is to harvest rice and start.

The rice is harvested from the sake rice "Hakuzuru Nishiki".

It is the harvest of rice, which is a raw material for sake.

The following week, leaving the amount of the elementary school students to cut, four sections.

Everyone who wishes to harvest rice has been harvested with a prepared sickle.

DSC02970a.jpg DSC02973a.jpg

DSC02972a.jpg

It is said that about 110 people came today.

Rice is gradually harvested, cheering from couples, friends, and parents and children.

 

DSC02974a.jpg DSC_5351a.jpg

When Miss Sake begins to mow, Mr. Kotano makes fun of it.

The composition of the customer to make it easier.

There is no laughing around the man's farm manager.

Eventually, we had a photo session around Miss Sake and Farm Manager.

DSC_5381a.jpg

 

Well, this is an interview with Mr. Kotano.

"I hope you can make use of rice harvesting as an experience.

It's rice harvesting in Ginza.

Rice grows as usual.

I would like to cut it before it rains."

  

We also interviewed Miss Sake.

2017 Miss Sake (Miss Sake) and Rinno Tanaka.

"In June, we planted rice with elementary school students here.

I've been looking forward to harvesting rice this time.

I'm glad it didn't rain today."

"Miss sake was chosen in March of this year for a one-year term.

We are working to convey the traditional culture of Japan and abroad through sake.

I'm from Osaka, but now I'm in Tokyo."

  

We also interviewed a mother with an infant who has just finished harvesting rice.

"I came from Koto-ku.

In June this year, I experienced rice planting for the first time.

I planted it just around here.

It's a valuable experience to be able to harvest rice in Tokyo.

The child is muddy."

Immediately after, my child fell in a puddle and said, "I thought I would do it (laughs)."

 

DSC02975a.jpg DSC02976a.jpg

The rice is harvested in about 30 minutes, and it is finished safely. The rice goes to the drying stage.

I can't wait for it to become a fine sake "Hakuzuru Nishiki".

Everyone who came here will have dinner in the building after this.
