Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

If you live in Tsukiji, Ginza is a garden, so when the climate becomes milder.

I often walk along Harumi-dori St., Matsuya-dori, and Marronnier-dori.

The other day, the Tsukiji Police Station passed the headquarters of Yamato Transport Co., Ltd.

After opening in the opposite direction around Natural Lawson

I stopped by the wine shop I've been interested in.

　

I'm from my grandfather and father

Because the DNA of drinking was inherited.

He claims to be "a woman loved by Bacchus (the god of sake)."

He enjoys the days of sake and roses in every scene of life.

He also obtained wine qualification, worked as a wine importer, and worked as a wine importer.

If you travel, you will never go around the sake brewery Cave Distillery.

　　

On that day, there was a great deal from God.

The person in charge of operation of the wine shop

Isn't it Kobayashi sommelier, a friend of old knowledge?

Beethoven's "destiny" resounds at his ears. (Ah, God)

Mr. Shigeyoshi Kobayashi

A heavyweight with a career of 44 years as a bartender and sommelier.

"When I joined a hotel as a high school graduate,

If possible, the cooks and bartenders didn't want to be assigned.

For young people, a bartender is familiar with sake and women.

I didn't like it because I had a somewhat dark image."

Century Hyatt, which opened in 1980 (Showa 55)

(currently Hyatt Regency Tokyo) for a long time.

"But if you think now, it must have been fate.

There was a good person to whom I was assigned, and the surrounding environment was good. I've been blessed."

　

Changed jobs with the opening of Ginza Akasaka Palace.

Chef Hikoaki Tan, who took over the Akasaka Rikyu from Futoku Shu, was the chef.

In October 2004, at the Ginza Kojun Building

"Akasaka Rimiya Ginza Store" opened with a feeling of all senses.

　

＊Excerpts* because there was an interview with a chef at that time*

"In Ginza, I wanted to focus on wine.

That's why I called Kobayashi sommelier.

I was surprised that I had to put two large wine cellers.

You will see it as soon as you enter the store, so it will have an impact.

However, as a result, the sommelier's knowledge and customer service have been improved.

It had a great influence on other staff.

I think it was very good."

　

The next thing I was offered was

Nihon Syurui Hanbai, one of Japan's leading alcoholic beverage wholesalers

Real store operation of wine imported directly from importer.

In October 2012, we aimed at promoting PR and advertising of products imported directly.

Showroom and wine shop <Win's Window> opens.

It was a good location, just a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Yaesu, Tokyo Station.

In 2017, it was forced to relocate due to redevelopment.

　

But a regular customer says, "Don't go far!"

"At least a taxi distance within one meter!"

In September 2017, it was restarted in Higashiginza in a voice of aspiration.

　

When asked about the concept of the shop

●Every day, daily, 1 foam, 3 white, 3 red, and 3 red.

Glass wine (120m) is available.

You can check the taste at the mini bar corner and purchase it at a low price.

　　

●Community-based.

The Seller also sells it cold so that you can drink it immediately.

For workers, residents, and locals

I want you to use it as a wine cellar that extends your house.

"If you can't pull it out well, take it out!" That's OK.

　　　

●J.S.A. Sommelier J.S.A. Wine Expert Name Certification Test

There is also a set sale of wine varieties that are likely to be presented.

　　

I was also very surprised.

It was only about 12 times that I met Mr. Kobayashi again.

"The last time I met was a department store event.

You've had a drink of Vuve Crico."

Amazing words. ！

I forgot to keep it clean until I was told, but

Sure. 。 。 That's right. 。 。

The memory is vividly revived. 。 。

The memory of the bartender.

　

Mr. Kobayashi's mature customer service and the wealth of life experience

The thread of conversation is connected, and even though it is a wine shop, stay long

The depth of pockets that I'm going to talk about my life.

It is a place where you can always get something other than "buy wine".

In Higashiginza, a gentleman and gentleman

There's a hot place that goes down every day.

　

That's the "Ginza Family Mahjong Class"!

Unlike a mahjong shop like in the street, it's different from a mahjong shop.

A shop specializing in mahjong classes.

There are 10 mahjong tables.

In other words, every day, with the previous engagement 40 people

Clean, beautiful, correct, harmonious

There is a great deal.

　

What I heard about this time?

Mr. Masahiro Hayashi, in charge of operation.

　

　

I used to be a mahjong shop.

By the time the bubble economy burst

There was also a relocation of Dentsu, which was a great deal.

In 1995, it was said that the management policy was changed from a mahjong shop to a mahjong classroom.

　

Then,

Removes dark image that tends to stick to mahjong.

Betting is strictly prohibited and smoking cessation!

　

Through mahjong

Our mission is to pursue “richness of the heart”, “smile” and “improvement of personality”.

In a homey atmosphere, 23 years of trust and achievements.

We operate a clear and happy classroom.

　

When asked, "Do you have any difficulties in operating?"

"It's about creating a four-person group considering the level and personality."

I see. My father, mother, and three brothers are family management.

It is true that three of them are always on standby.

　

While being the son (the eldest son) of a mahjong shop

Professor Masahiro started playing mahjong with his friends when he was a student.

It seems that he has not received any guidance from his father or mother.

In the past, I saw an acquaintance that he had not been able to escape at night due to gambling.

I was shocked.

There may have been something like a conflict.

　

Still, when I was a college student, I started to help my family business during the daytime.

He said he had decided to get a job, but he did.

"As a result of the family meeting, this is the case," he said.

Sweet. （＾∇＾）

　

That's why I hate being disturbed.

So that harmony is always maintained

It is supported by careful consideration.

　

Well, in fact, I'm also making my OL debut in the middle of the bubble.

His bosses at that time have been taught all kinds of play, and mahjong is one of them. 。 。

Also, it has been 20 years to play game consoles on the way to work or in the toilet.

It is often said that continuation is power.

At first, even though level 1 was lost to game consoles.

Even at level MAX, I was usually overwhelmed by game consoles.

　

Then, when it comes to it, you really want to play against a raw person at the mahjong table.

So, five years ago, I opened the door of the Ginza Family Mahjong Classroom for the first time.

　

Currently, in the classroom

Including those who were interested in seeing Mr. Masahiro's blog

A young person who is inspired by the popular manga "Saki" (a live-action drama, film adaptation)

It seems that there are some Chinese people who are authentic.

Although there are some differences in local rules

If you know the basic rules

It is also the attraction of mahjong that a new encounter is born immediately around the mahjong table.

　

And again, because this is a classroom

Even a completely beginner can teach you politely from the first step.

You can also bring food and drink!

　

If so far, "the world you don't know."

If not,

It's a place where you can feel free, energetic, and comfortable.

If there is something that touches the koto line

By all means, please knock on a new door!!

　

◆Ginza Family Mahjong Class

What is Tsukiji moving around the market?
Needless to say,
About 360 years ago
Already from the Edo period
Tsukiji is on the water front.
It was a pioneer in the foreground
What is now
For the good location
It has appeared as a location for many commercial dramas.
If you take a short walk, you must be sure
"Ah? The scenery I saw somewhere here..."and"
You should think of it.

　

Locals walk and jogging.
Hyugabokko, you can open lunch boxes for lunch, enjoy the night view with one hand of beer, and enjoy the night view.
Some people come to practice trumpet.

　

I live in a 3-minute walk away.
Considering it as an extended living dining room at home.
The visitor is more than a small room.
I wanted to share the comfort of the panoramic landscape of the buildings along the Sumida River and the waterside.
I often have a picnic on the bench at the base of Kachidokibashi.

　

Well, the other day I was enjoying the baguette and cheese on the bench
A yellow ship with a different taste from the usual houseboat was laid on the dock in front of me.

　　

When a correspondent's blood fussed, I applied for an interview immediately.
I got OK for 10 minutes before the customer got on.

　

The ship
Toward the Olympic and Paralympic Games
It was a water taxi that started an attempt to operate it two years ago.

It began full-scale operation last year.
To Haneda Keihin Canal and Sumida River Main
"Taxi Plan"
“Regular Operation Plan”
"charter plan"
It seems that it's going on.
For more information, see http://water-taxi.tokyo/#blog

　　

The boat is a small boat with eight passengers.
The captain and the boatman will accompany you.
It seems that it is suitable for chartered boarding with 6 people and for sightseeing and party use.

Actually, I was on board.
Small buns give you the excitement of going out on a jungle cruise near the sea surface.
Because it has a small turn, "I can go in quite a narrow river."
There is a toilet and air conditioning.

　

Viewed from rivers and canals, Tokyo will show a 180-degree different look than usual.

　

Now, the reservation customer got on board and the rope on the berth was broken.
When he waved his hand and saw him off, he rang the reciprocal whistle and departed with Buen.

　

 

 

It is famous for its long line in Tsukiji.
On the other side of "Yamato Sushi" and "Sushi Dai"
There's a cheese specialty store known to those who know it.
Do you know everyone?

　

On the signboard, the letters "KOTOBUKI Foods International Japanese Sake and Cheese of the World".

If you like cheese or have studied cheese at this point, you should come with Pin Ao️.

　

The highest rank in French cheese maturer
He was the first Japanese to have the title of "Maitre Fromager" (Mer. Fromajee).
In 2013, French Order of Agriculture, Schvalier,
In 2015, French Order of Agriculture, Ophissier,
The HISADA Group, founded about 30 years ago by Madame Hisada Sanae Hisada, who was awarded the "Cheese Kingdom", a store opened in Tsukiji in 2014 with fullness.

　

But, sir
If you imagine the "cheese kingdom" of Kirekawa (beautiful and cute) as you are in the basement of Depa, you will surely be surprised at the gap.

　

In order to clear the problem of polarization, in which tourists come in large numbers and food professionals come to purchase, female staff are market specifications, manipulating several languages, friendly, good glue, smile Only people with wonderful smiles.

　　

The store manager is a professional cheese professional who has been in the industry for more than 20 years. At first glance, it looks like a martial artist or a fighter because it is strong and has good shape, but it treats cheese very delicately and carefully.

Originally, he didn't say he liked cheese so much, but at a hotel where he worked before, when a French chef fed the leftover cheese of Deschap (Dish Up), he thought, "Japanese cheese is not cheese ️" and opened his eyes.
(In that era, imported natural cheese like today was difficult to obtain, and most of the cheeses distributed in Japan were heat-processed process cheese.)

　

However, it was not flat, cheese path. "Retirement Requests" submitted so far have been submitted five times. Every time you take care of it, "You're changing your life! That's why don't stop!' He said that he was encouraged and continued to come.

　

So, the customer service of this manager's life and death is the same.
It's hot, soulful. It's a burning soul!!

　

In particular, for restaurant and bar chefs who came to purchase cheese, besides the characteristics of each cheese, how to preserve it, how to eat it, how to increase the unit price and offer it, how to use it up without wasting, other We talk closely with each and every one of us, from unexpected mariage (combination) with ingredients and creating a sense of fashion.

　

In the meantime, people who like cheese enthusiasts and people who are familiar with the market come constantly to visit, ridiculed, crumbled, market-like crumbled, constant feeling, lively, lively and lively. Will be deployed.

　

Therefore, it may be quite difficult for ordinary first-time people to enter this tempo quickly. However, if you can enjoy it including that, there is no doubt that you will be fully hooked on that maniac. (^｡^)

　

Cheese is sold to food professionals, so it is a carefully selected quality and the condition is determined, exactly "now!" It's lined up. And I'm glad that it's the market price.

　

　

By the way, cheese is often regarded as a high color food for Japanese people, but in France and Italy, it feels the same as a characteristic pickle rooted in the Japanese hometown.
As it is a fermented food, you eat one piece by one every day while enjoying the changing aging process.
Also, hard cheese is used by shaving or bragging down. Like bonito flakes, it is also a seasoning that adds a rich and umami to the dishes.

And in the future, why don't you learn from a hot store manager and taste the deep cheese world?

Did you know that mackerel sandwiches are becoming a secret boom in fashionably boulangeries, bakeries, cafes, cookpads, etc.

　

What? What? If you think about it, please try an online search with "Saba Sand".

　

To put it quickly, baked mackerel is sandwiched in bread, it is a B-class gourmet of Istanbul, Turkey, and in this area, fish bread = "Balque Execk".

　

In the same way, I think that it is very easy to accept for our Japanese people, who love mackerel.
"The image of the absolute standard" Saba salt grilled set meal "is too strong, and at first it was difficult to accept it...."It's no exaggeration to say that it's the spark of this mackerel sandwich boom, Mr. Kadoi of Tsukiji Naka Wholesale "Kyotomi".

　

It was about 10 years ago that the phantom mackerel sand was born!
In the Tsukiji area, there are many small events closely related to the local area, so Mr. Kadoi, who also trained in Japanese cuisine, took advantage of Turkish mackerel sandwiches to the uniqueness of Japan, Tsukiji, and wholesalers It was created over the will of.

　

That commitment is reflected everywhere.
Saba is baked carefully with charcoal fire, one or one with affection. If you burn the skin, you will soon become poroporo, so he says, "I will not let anyone other than yourself, your son and your child."
Bread is a trade secret. He ordered directly to the bread department of a high-end grocery store, so he said, "I can only get the number of bakers receive."
Other ingredients are quickly heat-treated tomatoes and sliced onions. Lemon in the shape of a comb to squeeze.
The taste that has been studied and evolved in 10 years is definitely Japan's best!

　

Well, why is it a phantom?

　

"Kyotomi"'s retail store is located in the Tsukiji Fish Bank Kaisaibashi Building.

Saba Sand is only an event-friendly product, so you can't buy it at the store.

　

Well, then, you can eat it!
I think you can hear your cry. (￣▽￣)

　

I was told about the schedule of the event in the future.

　
August Tsukiji Honganji Bon Odori
September Kachidokibashi Riverside Autumn Festa
October Tsukiji Autumn Festival, Akatsuki Park Health and Welfare Festival

Note) It is not confirmed because it depends on the situation of purchase and manpower.

In addition, since the quantity is limited and it is now very popular, it is a long queue at the time of the event.

Unfortunately, there is a possibility that GET may not be possible, so please be aware in advance.

　

Well, please take care of it and embody the phantom mackerel sand.

 

 

When I ask her about the situation, she is wearing nice clothes that she doesn't sell anywhere, she says she's a boutique dress.
Immediately, when I visited, the shop was located on the second floor of the building next to the UNIQLO Ginza store on Ginza 6-chome Suzuran Street.

　

The name of the store is "Kiwa".

This is the name of the designer Yoshikazu Nishiuchi.

　

Human beings have the talents and fates that have been born.
I'm sure there is, but in the case of Mr. Kiwa, maybe
"Love in love with cloth and be loved by cloth."
I have loved sewing since I was in elementary school, and when I stepped on a sewing machine.
Uprike, remake, etc.
It seems that he was awakening to originality from an early age.

　

When I became an adult and worked for an apparel company

"The pattern is cute", "I don't wrinkle", "I don't lose shape", "I can wash"
We have cleared all the functionality required for fabrics.
When I met Tango Chirimen Crepe
In 2004, I launched a brand in Shimokitazawa with my younger brother, Akira.
In 2007, opened a store in Ginza Hankyu = Mosaic Ginza.
(Women who have been to mosaic Ginza! Speaking of which,
Don't you remember the shop that handled that modern Japanese dress!
Now that there is no mosaic, that dress is still alive in Ginza 6-chome!!

　

Tango Chirimen Crepe is a raw silk that does not twist on warps.

Strength twist around 3,000 times per meter to the weft (Yokoito).
It is characterized by the fact that "Shibo" formed from the contraction of the repulsion appears.
Due to uneven reflection, coloring is good after dyeing.
It seems that a deep and thick color is exuded.

　　

Chirimen Crepe Dress Kiwa is a process other than dyeing.

In other words, Mr. Kiwa and Mr. Akira are the design, pattern, and sewing.
It's finished by hand.
It's exactly what you want to do and everything you want to do.
So, in addition to the items lined up in the shop, there are also other items.
You can also order semi-order, but it may be about six months later.

　

　

"I was fascinated by the Chirimen Crepe dress, and inside the closet

Almost Kiwa's Chirimen Crepe dress,"
It is said that there are many people who purchase repeats.
In fact, when I try it on, the beauty of the drape and silhouette.
You will be surprised at the comfort of your skin moistly.
A new breeze is blown into Tango Chirimen Crepe, backed by tradition.
That taste is just finished in Urban.
Towns and parties, of course, are especially suitable for travel.
Not only pack it in the trunk, but let's Go! Sometimes
A dress I want to wear and go out. Even if you move long, it doesn't get wrinkled and it's easy.
In Europe and the United States, the identity of a beautiful woman in Asia is also important.
I think I can express it.

　

Mr. Kiwa will be on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

It seems that there is a high possibility.
In addition to dresses, shoes, jewelry, and accessories.
It's a boutique full of amazing fun.
By all means, please turn your feet to spend a fascinating time.
