Since its opening on November 8th, I took a look at the information center, which has already become a popular spot in Tsukiji with many exposures such as newspapers and TVs. As soon as you leave Tsukiji Station, a new building is built in front of the main hall. The bright entrance of the first floor with glass is a corner dealing with cafe TSUMUGI and one-stroke notes and incense. In the back of the cafe, a photo exhibition of "Honanji 400 Years" is being held, and photographs of those days are displayed in chronological order. When I asked for permission to shoot, I was thrilled with a smiling response saying "Please help me." First of all, it is a fairly spacious space with about 50 to 60 seats in the cafe. I'm surprised to see the menu. Several herbal teas with original blends named Japanese tea and Peppin tea, original drinks using tea, coffee, and several sweets and shaved ice! 。 There are everything from breakfast set to lunch table and pasta. It's a lineup that conveys the seriousness of Mr. Honganji. The "breakfast rice porridge set" with 18 kinds of side dishes seemed to be popular and delicious, but this is until 11 o'clock. I heard a voice saying, "Do you have any more?"
When I asked the service, it was said that this menu was introduced on TV. The requested "Kishu Bincho charcoal charcoal grilled coffee" (580 yen extra) was accompanied by a cute hourglass and was explained, "Please eat after 3 minutes." If you like shaved ice, I asked, "Is there all year round?", "I'm planning so far. I'll be waiting for you next time," he replied.
Next, I took a look at the book center on the second floor. It seems that there are nearly 3,000 points in the center of Buddhist books. Certainly there may be demand to collect only Buddhism-related books. It is a wide range of items from "Tanmusho" to Kaoru Takamura's "Kukai", English Buddhist commentary, and fairy tales. I purchased "Tanmusho" with commentary and "I understand Buddhism well in super easy English". "Hanwakayu" is Wisdom Water. It seems that some people say, "This can be used."
At night's cafe, you can enjoy alcohol while looking at the illuminated main hall.
The predecessor of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, Asakusa Mido, was founded in 1617 (1617) near Yokoyamacho. It was burned down by the great fire of the Meiryaku era (Meiji 3rd year 1657), and in 1679 (1679), Mido was completed in Tsukiji ("Tsukiji Gobo"). It was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake and rebuilt in 1934 as an ancient Indian-style stone building. In 2014 (2014), main hall, gateposts (main gate, north gate, south gate), and stone walls were designated as heavy sentences. I'm a little bit confusing. (From "Chuo-ku Fun Encyclopedia")
Next time, I would like to enter by 11:00 and try the "Okayu Set". The number of best cafes has increased during a walk in Tsukiji.
Tsukiji Honganji Cafe TSUMUGI 8:00 to 21:00 a.m.
Book Center 10:00 to 17:00 a.m.
