"Why don't you look at Chuo-ku from the outside? This is the sequel to "Rainbow Bridge & Carletta Shiodome".

　Chuo-ku is transforming toward the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. By "fixed-point observation", the change can be seen.

　We photographed the same thing from the same place (Caretta Shiodome 46th floor observation space) at different times.....

Demolition status of the former Tsukiji Market (on site)

---

　First of all, the former Tsukiji Market (in the hall) relocated in October 2018.

　The inside market is now surrounded by fences, so you can't see the inside from the ground. However, from a skyscraper, it looks so good....

---

---

　The security checkpoint (a blue roof building lined up in three rows) has been removed.

　A provisional detour (inner turn) has been opened from Tsukiji Ohashi to Shin-ohashi Bridge Street.

　There is also a change in the number of cars that use the parking lot.

---

Construction status of Olympic Village (Harumi)

---

　Next, the construction status of the Athlete Village.

　Comparison of May 2018 with January 2019, seven months later....。

---

Note) The front is the Hamarikyu Garden, and the back is the Toyosu Market.

---

　Among the photos taken in January 2019, the buildings that look black are the athlete villages under construction. It has a strong presence.

　It seems that the foundation was spending time on the construction, but when the construction of the building started, I feel that it will be faster after that.

Starting with photography from the Carletta Shiodome Observation Space, the "If you look at Chuo-ku from the outside" series and the "fixed-point observation" series will continue in the future....

 

 

　On February 3, when Sunday and Setsubun overlapped, blessed with good weather, the annual "bean-throwing ceremony" was held in various parts of the ward.

At Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine (Tsukuda 1), the event was held from 15:00 after the festival of the festival.

Setsubun means that the day before the beginning of spring, summer, fall, and winter, at the turn of the season, bean-throwing ceremony is one of the Shinto ritual rituals of disaster relief.

Generally speaking, Setsubun is the day before the spring, when it moves from the winter festival to the spring festival. As the beginning of the year, it is said that Setsubun gradually began to refer to the spring Setsubun.

When it comes to the stage where beans and sweets are scattered from Kagura Hall, the children gathered together reached out all at once to get "Fuku", and shouted "Here, here" and "Oh, I'm sorry", and the hall was filled with the enthusiasm of many children.

 

 

Around noon, when I was walking around Ginza 1-chome, I suddenly found a shop with a mysterious store name.




The signboard says "Tsukisuso", but is it Tsukuso?　Do you think?　？ ？
Looking at the menu, it looks like a shop centered on fish, but I was curious and saw it immediately.





When you open the door of the entrance, you will find the stairs leading to the basement. It's a little steep, but there's no problem with the railings.





There was a handwritten menu on the wall. Expectations are increasing.
"Welcome," he said in a cheerful voice. Both the kitchen and the service are men only.





Inside the store, there are counter seats around the kitchen, and 13 to 14 people can sit.


There was also a small digging gotatsu-style private room depending on the location. This is large enough to accommodate up to 10 people.





From today's lunch menu, we chose "Silver stewed set meal" (1,000 yen including tax).
I've been prepared and brought to the table neatly!





In addition to the main stew, small bowls, tuna fillets, fried tofu and chikuwa stew, pickles and miso soup.
The simmering is exquisite and very delicious!


This shop is based on Toyosu Naka Wholesale "Oshin Shoten", which was founded in 1868, and just opened in late October 2018.
The signboard "Tsukisoso" came from the store name "Tsukiji no Osonori".

As expected, it was a taste that conveys the quality of fish.


The lunch menu includes not only fish dishes such as sashimi set meal, mackerel dried fish set meal, and Bansuke Hokke dried fish set meal, but also Sakurahime Tori Tang set meal.
Lunch rice is OK instead, and you can hear the customer's voice saying "Please replace me."


It's also nice that the store's Facebook has posted information about purchasing letters and menus.

There were some vacant seats when I entered the store, but it was full by the end of eating!
I'm convinced that it's a popular shop.


When you come to Ginza 1-chome, please enjoy delicious fish.

Today (February 3), the day of Setsubun, I participated in the 11th Chuo-ku Tourism Test. It was a warm day of the week. I took the 7th and 8th exams, but I was thinking about stopping it anymore, and recently I'm busy, but I've never taken the exam after a long absence.

　

　This test should be used as an opportunity to carefully read "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" for several days a year while walking around the city while being interested in history, etc., and should continue to take it every year if possible. Will be.

　I've been taking the exam for the first time in a long time, but I felt that the questions were well devised. There are some small parts to say that it is fine, but should you think that it is necessary to walk around the ward on a daily basis and pay attention to the details and read the text carefully?

　For example, the question of photography problems. It is 42, but indeed, this photo is listed on page 3 of the text as "Edo Sakura-dori St.". However, there is also a photo of "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St." just above, so it is quite difficult to distinguish the building that serves as a landmark, and it is impossible to distinguish it only by photographs. I answered "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St.."

However, if I walked through this area, I would have been able to easily find the correct answer in the part of the question sentence "I photographed the road from Nihonbashi Honishi-cho to Nihonbashi Honmachi". The map of "Nihonbashi / Kyobashi Area" on page 192 of the text clearly shows "Edo Sakura-dori St." and "Sakura-dori St.".

 

 

This is a landscape painting exhibition by Arata Kimura, which is being held at Gallery Ginza, a gallery in Ginza 2-chome.

The theme is "Light, Impression, and Ease", and the event period is from Saturday, January 26 to February 7 (Thu).

Please note that the time is from 10 am to 6:30 pm, but the last day is until 5 pm

Mr. Kimura's exhibition at the gallery was introduced on this blog last March.

Mr. Kimura's commitment that he taught at the last time, "Draw everything from base to completion at the site" is still continuing.

The very cold winter scenery covered with snow may capture the atmosphere there just because Mr. Kimura was drawn at the scene.

I am impressed by the beauty of Japan's four seasons, the warmth of early spring, the freshness of fresh greenery, the lyrical at dusk, and the loneliness of late autumn are all incorporated into the picture.

Mr. Kimura's elaborate brushing, which does not loosen up to one of the twigs of the tree, felt a sincere approach to the work, and I was able to appreciate it really comfortably.

The venue is on both the first and second floors of Gallery Ginza.

In addition, this time, we received your consent about the photography in the gallery, and we were able to hear valuable stories from Mr. Kimura, who was in the corridor at the time of the visit, such as the origin of the title of the work I'm done

Thank you very much

　Japan aims to win the fifth championship for the first time in two tournaments at the AFC Asia Cup UAE 2019.

In order to support the Japanese national soccer team who will compete in the final match with Qatar from 6:00 pm on February 1 (11:00 pm Japan time), Tokyo Tower will shine in the image color "blue / white" and Diamond Ver (blue / white) is lit.

Sunset ~ 23:00

"Tokyo Tower SAMURAI BLUE Light Up" is seen from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki.

Qatar is strengthening as the host country of the 2022 World Cup, showing a 16-scoring goal and a fulfilling match with offense and defense in 6 games this tournament, and with the first advance to the final, the past match results were 2 wins, 4 losses in Japan.

If the Japanese national team wins, the light will be lit on February 2 to celebrate it.
