Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Previously, in this article, at Gunma-chan's antenna shop "Gunma-chan House" in Gunma Prefecture.
We introduced that you can purchase a rocabo cake made by collaboration of vegetables from Gunma Prefecture and patisserie potato zier.
A few years after the gradual carbohydrate restriction "Rocabo" began to spread, an event specializing in it was also held in Chuo-ku.
That is the Nihonbashi Rocabo Festival 2018, which was held from November 23 to 25.

First of all, at the AGEs measurement booth, check the aging substance.
Just put your finger in the machine, measuring is very easy!
(* The AGEs measurement device is still in the introduction stage, and it seems that it will gradually be able to measure it at drugstores etc. in the future!)
The AGEs I heard for the first time this time is an abbreviation for final glycation Endproducts.
Because it is produced by aging, it is an aging substance that exists in everyone's body.
It is also produced when excess sugar is linked to proteins.



As this AGEs accumulates, the quality of elastic collagen decreases.
Inducing skin (wrinkles, sagging, dullness), bone and blood vessels (degraded quality), etc.
It can help accelerate aging phenomena and damage health.
Especially for women who care about beauty, it can be said to be an enemy!



What are the results of my AGEs measurements of self-proclaimed health otaku?...Middle-aged 100 people of the same age....
"I was concerned about calories, but I didn't care much about carbohydrates...."he said.
I immediately went to the booth introducing Rocabo food.

At the booth of "Maruhon Sesame Oil" by Takemoto, which has a Tokyo sales office in Nihonbashi, Mr.
With the phrase "oil is no longer an enemy!", Introducing recipes and
We distributed sampling with sesame oil to Grico Ice SUNAO (vanilla).



Eitaro Sohonbu, who has been in business for 200 years this year, introduced the products of Eitaro Shoji's "Eitaro Body"!
If you look at it later, it seems that you can buy it at NATURAL LAWSON as well.



Delicious low-carbohydrate pudding from Morinaga dairy cows



Kibun is 0g noodle



In addition, Calbee's "flugra carbohydrate off" and Monterre's "petit cream puff with consideration for carbohydrate".
We introduced Saraya's "Herushi rice" and Lawson's "Branpan" and distributed sampling.

After looking around, go to Fukutoku no Mori in search of the original Rocabo menu.
Here, we were able to purchase dishes, sweets, and drinks using Rocabo products from the company introduced this time.



What I chose was "chicken porridge" and "Azuki hi"!
"Chicken porridge" includes Rocabo-style rushi rice (Saraya), incense sesame oil (Takemoto oil), and 70% off-saccharide gold (Ninben) with sugar.
"Azuki Hai" uses polyphenol azuki tea (Eitaro Sohonbu).

It is light and gentle to the body, and it is reconfirmed that if you chew and eat even a small amount over time, you will get a feeling of fullness.
I was able to learn something about high-carbohydrate foods, and I was able to get tips on cooking that was conscious of carbohydrate off.
In particular, it was a great discovery that high-calorie and high-carbohydrate foods are not necessarily equal!

Finally, we challenged the Locaboku's Rally, which was very popular.



We had low-carbohydrate foods and seasonings that could easily start carbohydrate off from that day.
In this way, low-carbohydrate food is unexpectedly around you!




(We also had easy chocolate during breaks at work.)

This event has ended, but Nihonbashi is carrying out a Nihonbashi carbohydrate-off project called "Edomae Rocabo".
On the Nihonbashi Rocabo Festival website, you can see the carbohydrate off menu available in Nihonbashi.

I'm enjoying every day with a cute prime of azuki-chan.
Like the Hama House in Nihonbashihamacho, where the powerful senior correspondent Edamame is often talking about.
Recently, town development with awareness of food education and health promotion has become noticeable in each area.



A healthy diet that tends to be neglected when working...
I myself decided to take this opportunity to review it.
If you are concerned about your health, why don't you try to clean carbohydrate in Nihonbashi?

Turn right at the intersection of Harumi 3-chome toward Tsukishima Station, and Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Harumi Branch is enshrined.

Come and visit

According to the editorial written on the monument, it is written as follows.

　

"This shrine was handed down as a tradition of industry for a long time since the Yasunaga era, when all the bonito wholesalers of Tsukuda Island enshrined deity was used as a guardian angel to religious service and prayed for the safety of marine transportation that satisfies the fishing and prosperity of business.　As soon as the Tokyo bonito wholesaler association was established in 1887, the religion was further deepened as a guardian deity of the union, but in September 1938, when the Tokyo bonito cargo handling office was newly built in Nihonbashikobunacho, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine branch was founded on the roof and relocated to Harumi for the development of the union in March 1968. In June 1971, when the union was newly built, this was designated as a sanctuary, and a new shrine hall was built to pray for the development of the traditional industry, and to serve as a guardian deity in the Harumi district for a long time and pray for protection.

　In addition, Ujiko is a company of the Tokyo Bonitobushi Center in a building adjacent to the shrine.

While visiting, the fragrance of bonito flakes drifted.

 

 

　"MIKIMOTO GINZA TREE" was newly introduced last year with the completion of the Mikimoto Ginza 4-chome Main Store Building instead of "Mikimoto Jumbo Christmas Tree", which has been popular as a winter feature of Ginza for nearly 40 years until 2014.

The ornaments with objects and pearl motifs in gold and silver ribbons emerge fantastically, and a gorgeous design that colors the Christmas season.

It is a delicate and elegant production that moves a part of the object, and sparkling snow crystals appear and disappear.

At Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St., which runs from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station to Nihonbashi, illuminations are shining in the shape of cherry blossom trees along the row of cherry trees.

The pinkish white light and the yellow light of the champagne gold glow all the way to the tip of the cherry blossom branches extending from both sides, covering the street.

It's beautiful

The theme is "Sakura, Lighting / SAKURA TERRACE", and the period is from November 28 to February 14 of next year, and the time is from 16:30 to 23:00.

This season, it's easy to go out because it's cold, but if you meet such beautiful illuminations, the cold will blow away.

 

 

　Metasequoia planted on Shin-ohashi-dori St. in front of the Asahi Shimbun Tokyo Headquarters (Tsukiji 5) is colored, the trunk is upright, and the crown is conical, neat tree-shaped group attracts attention.

The branches are paired with twigs, and the twigs are densely paired with flat linear foliages, and look like bird feathers at first glance like feathers.

It is a dioecious strain, and at this time, it has a small Matsubokuri-like fruit with a long handle.
