Request and Advice-Senbikiya Sohonten-

[rosemary sea] September 30, 2018 18:00

It is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a memorial book.

So far, I have written six articles of Senbikiya Sohonten.
In an article on September 23, last year, we picked up "Premium Peach" and "Shine Muscat" from Senbikiya Sohonten.
 
Both are derived from their mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law says, "If possible, I want to eat delicious peaches." I received two requests, "I want to eat Shine Muscat."

I bought peaches at Senbikiya Sohonten.

At the time of purchase, Mr. Yoshida of the Nihonbashi Main Store of Senbikiya Sohonten gave advice.
"Please chill in the refrigerator for one day at room temperature."
I cut it into an easy-to-eat size, put it in tapperware, and brought it to the hospital.
My mother-in-law, "It's deep sweet. The flesh is solid. Anyway, it's very delicious."
Divided the day, we had one serving.

 

DSC02839a.jpg 
At the time of Shine Muscat, Mr. Yoshida said, "This is room temperature and you can eat it at any time."
My mother-in-law, I liked it very much.
The remaining portion is divided.
 
My mother-in-law is a caring person.
I've never been spoken of by others. I always have a soft smile.
Even when watching the Ekiden on TV, he said, "I want everyone to win."
That's why the sport called Ekiden doesn't work.
But that's the thought of my mother-in-law.
 
The eyes of good and delicious are certain.
Shopping in Ginza, Kabukiza, Meijiza, Shimbashi Enbujo, etc.
 
My mother-in-law was called to heaven very peacefully. It was the end of last year.
Until the end, consciously, "Living normally."
I was happy to be your child, no, I am happy.
Shall we have sweet and sweet citrus next time?

Rice lunch at Tsukiji Terrace

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 30, 2018 14:00

A while ago, I'm Tsukiji Terrace, a cafe dining room at Tsukiji 2-chome, which I introduced on this blog.

Facing Shin-ohashi-dori St., the seats on the second floor offer a panoramic view of Tsukiji Honganji across the street.

I visited lunch today again

I ordered a rice lunch

sangen201802.JPG

It's Sangen pork saute.

The thick fat is also delicious.

There is a salad, a drink bar, and you can drink coffee after meals, so it's a great deal.

By the way, Sangen pork is a first-generation hybrid pig that combines three types of pigs.

When I chewed, the sweetness of the pork spread in my mouth, and the homemade onion sauce was well matched.

On weekdays, it will be open from 8:00 in the morning, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, it will be open from 11:30 in the afternoon.

On weekdays, the morning menu is full.

This is also recommended for nighttime use when Tsukiji Honganji is lit up.

Watch the tuna auction tour of Tsukiji Market!

[often slap] September 30, 2018 12:00

Hello! Today, I would like to report on the last tuna auction tour of Tsukiji Market!
 

As you all know, the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market Tsukiji Market in Tsukiji, Chuo-ku will close at the end of October 6 this year, and its function will move to Toyosu Market in Koto-ku.
Meanwhile, the tour of the tuna auction, which has become popular among foreign tourists in recent years, ended on September 15th.
I wanted to go to the tour once before the closing, so I heard the last information on September 15 and rushed in.
 

sbt_1809_1.jpg
By the way, the tuna auction tour is divided into two groups around 6:00 am, and the tour is accepted at 5:00 am.
It is not a pre-reservation system, so if you want to visit, you need to wait in front of 5:00 in the morning, it is quite hard.
However, I started to line up on this day at 23:00 pm on the 14th the day before! ・... I really wanted to go to the tour on the morning of the 14th, so I visited around 4 o'clock in the morning, but on that day, "The people who lined up at 2 o'clock in the morning reached the capacity, so the reception was closed I failed to challenge ... "The last day will be closed when the date changes ...!"
When I entered the line, about 20 people were already lined up. While it rains, hold your umbrella and wait still.
 

sbt_1809_2.JPG
After a while after the date changed, the number of people lined up increased, so the reception started and I had them pass through the room of the facility.
After that, I wait at the physical education seat and light up the night. It was good because I was able to survive the rain, but it was a very good training.
Perhaps it was 4:00 am, a wholesaler came to explain the tuna auction in Tsukiji Market. There are many foreigners, so the explanation is English. I answered English questions exactly in English, and they responded wonderfully!
 

After that, I finally leave the room before six in the morning. When I went out, it was quite bright.
 

sbt_1809_4.JPG
After entering the building of the racetrack, it was finally a long-awaited tour.
Inside, I was able to see the frozen tuna lined up in a row in the same space up close.
And over time, buyers gathered one after another.
 

sbt_1809_5.JPG
You can see something in a conical shape on each tuna, but this is a cut off the tail to check the quality of the tuna, and buyers use this part with a Kama to check the quality. Shake the body and pick it up or illuminate it with a flashlight to check the quality.
 

sbt_1809_6.JPG
After 6 o'clock, when the seller ringed the bell, the auction began, and voices shouting at prices all over the venue were heard. The auction progressed steadily while showing the price with your fingers, so I couldn't keep up as a general visitor, but I was able to experience a unique atmosphere.
 

According to what I heard, a tuna auction tour will be held at Toyosu Market, where the relocation site is located. However, it seems that there will be a passage and space dedicated to visitors, so it is undeniable that the tour can be done safely and with little trouble, but it will be "from outside". It was a very valuable experience to be able to visit the auction site from the inside at Tsukiji!
 

sbt_1809_8.JPG
By the way, Tsukiji Market will close soon, but the city of Tsukiji itself should be enjoyed in the future! I think so.
The Tsukiji Outer Market, which was formed around the Tsukiji Market, remains at its current location, and is powering up by adding Ningro's Tsukiji Fish Bank. I think it will not only continue to be a place for buyers to purchase, but also serve as a base for disseminating Japanese food culture to those who come to sightseeing. (The photo shows the Tsukiji Outer Market.)
In addition, the city of Tsukiji has many other attractions besides the market. Tsukiji Honganji Temple, which has a unique main hall that combines ancient Indian style and Japanese temple architecture style, prewar wooden architecture that remains in various places, and many historical sites related to Christianity in Akashicho.

 

 

This year marks the 145th anniversary of the founding of Kappo cuisine.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 30, 2018 09:00

Last month, I used it at a meeting of the company where I work.

The history of Shintomi-cho since the Meiji era, as well as the deliciousness of the dishes and the well-being, is wonderful, so I will cover the day again and introduce it on this blog.

tekki201808.JPG

Founded in 1873.

It seems that this year marks the 145th anniversary of its founding.

tekki201807.JPG

The name of the shop is written as "Daikinro" and read as "Tekkinro".

tekki201809.JPG

This is a passage from the "Yueyanglou" of Hanchuen, a poet from North Soong Province, China.

"Long Smoke Ichiku Kozuki Chiri Floating Floating Fleet Shadow"

It seems that it was named after it

It seems that it was entrusted with the thought that it was a shop that served lively dishes, like the waves shining by light to the appearance of fish scales jumping golden.

Certainly, that thought was inherited, and at the meeting last month, the “simmered Kichiji” that was served was really delicious.

tekkin201822.JPG

The hanging scroll of "Hyogo no Ma", tokonoma's "Yueyanglou" and its parts of "Daikin"

tekkin201823.JPG

By the way, this "Yueyanglou" is also famous for the so-called "Koraku" word in the latter part, "I am worried about the worries of the world first and enjoy the peace of the world later" (knowledge of the politician).

Yueyanglou is located on the northeastern shore of Lake Dongfeng in Hunan Province, China, and is a large scenic area with the Yangtze River to the north.

tekki201801.JPG

(1878 edition of "Akaiseki Betsushi Competition", Yoshitsuki Tsukioka, in the courtyard of Jinro)

The name of the shop is Tesshu Yamaoka.

Tesshu Yamaoka was one of the "Mifunes of late Tokugawa shogunate" and was a great man from late Tokugawa shogunate to Meiji, famous as a calligrapher, who led Edo Castle to bloodless opening.

tekki201802.JPG

(Business license at the time of 1895)

The shop is decorated with venerable items that tell its history, and at last month's meeting, we were able to hear those explanations from the landlady.

tekki201803.JPG

It seems that the restaurant was reputed so that it was selected as one of the ukiyo-e "Flowing 36 Kaiseki", a gourmet guide at the time, written in the late Meiji era.

The ukiyo-e is also displayed in the corridor of the shop, and is also used as a coaster of the shop, and was able to commemorate it (pictured below).

tekkin201831.JPG

During the war, it was impossible to continue business in itself, and it was said that he had been moved to Ogikubo, but after the war, he returned to the place of a quaint Japanese house surrounded by the current black fence. It seems to be in 1949.

After that, the extension and renovation were repeated, and it was said that it was reached now.

This building has been selected as one of the Top 100 Modern Building Surveys in Chuo-ku, and is introduced as "a black fence restaurant building that conveys the remnants of Shintomi's Hanayanagi world."

tekki201805.JPG

The parlor is used according to the number of customers, such as "Hall", "Rabbit", "Pinema", and "Hyoma". Each room has furnishings that make you feel the history.

tekkin201824.JPG

"Daikinro" (although the character of Yaku is different) which was also listed with the kaiseki dish number that appeared in 1898.

tekkin201821.jpg

On the first floor, there is a counter-type "Stando Kappo cuisine" separate from Kappo cuisine.

tekki201804.JPG

This is the Kappo cuisine restaurant of "History of Shintomicho itself" mentioned at the beginning.

You can feel the history just by passing in front of the shop.

Please drop in once.

tekki201810.JPG

Regarding this interview, the landlady Tokiko Kanoka (Tanioka) gave a polite and polite explanation. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Thank you very much

A relaxing space

[Silver Fox 007] September 29, 2018 18:00

If you go to the ground from Exit A2 of Hatchobori Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line or JR Keiyo Line, you will find Sakuragawa Park.

Autumn leaves at Sakuragawa Rooftop Park. jpegPassing through this park with Shin-ohashi-dori St., you will find the Chuo Ward Women's Center "Bouquet 21". There is a staircase on the right side of the entrance, and it is written as Sakuragawa Rooftop Park. Sakuragawa Park often passes, but I've never been to the rooftop park, so I explored it.

I was surprised to climb the stairs out of breath, saying it was tight! 

The surrounding building looks like Fukayama, and even the sound of the building's scream and the dokan sound of the building, and where is the maple that began to change color with the babbling flowing through the garden? It's a great feeling! 

Various types of trees have name tags, and persimmons and pomegranates are also fruitful. There are many benches in the shade of trees, and lunchtime will be a great place for nearby office workers to relax. Like Chuo-ku, where the number of births is increasing year by year, there are playground equipment for children, and when the weather is nice, it will be crowded with little children.

View the Kamejima River from Sakuragawa Rooftop Park. jpegAs you pass under the trees, you will open the space and gateball field. There was a path along the side, so when I traced it, the Kamejima River jumped into my eyes. On the right, you can see the railway bridge of Minami Takahashi (reused part of the former Ryogoku Bridge of the bridge in 1904), and it is strangely impressive. Takahashi on the left and the moored boat reminds me that the city of Edo was a city of water transport. This path is a slope that can be reached on Gunshu Street.

Below the garden is the Sakurabashi No. 2 Pumping Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Sewerage Bureau, which plays a role in protecting the city from flooding.

It was an autumn afternoon when I found an unexpected relaxing space.

 

 

[4th Excursion Series] The edge of Ginza's Yanagi Nisei's in Ginza

[Hanes] September 29, 2018 14:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This time, "[3rd excursion series] Follow the roots of Ginza....Continuing on from
I would like to focus on the relationship between Shizuoka and Chuo-ku (especially Ginza)!

On a rainy day in September, this willow happened to be seen at Sunpu Castle Park.
If you look closely at the information board...There is Yanagi Nisei in Ginza!

IMG_0460.JPG

I was worried, so when I read the details, this was written in addition to the story of Ginza that I introduced last time.

"In 1884, the street trees in Ginza were unified to willows, but despite the damage of the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the Great Tokyo Air Raid in 1945, the citizens' enthusiasm for preserving them grew, and the splendid trees revived. However, from around 1967, during the period of high growth, willows in Ginza disappeared. Local volunteers who were hurt by this have poured their heart and soul into the preservation movement, cultivated seedlings with cuttings, and donated not only to Ginza but also to the whole country. Motoichi also planted Ginza's Yanagi II in one corner of Sunpu Castle toes due to the relationship of Ginza, and passed on to future generations. "

Yanagi.jpg

In other words, Yanagi Nisei in Ginza is planted in various places throughout the country.
In Ginza, which is important, two Ginza Yanagi Nisei are planted near Ginza Nine.

Yanagi2.jpg

And next to one willow is the "Ginza willow Monument".
The lyrics and music of "Ginza Yanagi no Uta" (lyrics: 80 Saijo, composed: Shinpei Nakayama) are engraved.

♪The willows in Ginza that are nice to plant.

  Let's blow a spring breeze parasol

  The willow that doesn't give love is green
  Spring pattern of the capital to be dyed

This song may also be given at the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, which has been lifted the other day!
It's a great deal, so please take this opportunity to remember the number one.
When Ginza's Yanagi Nisei finds a unique edge, I will introduce it again on my blog.
