To find spring

[whatever] March 19, 2014 14:00

 The chilly days continued after Keihaku, but Sunday morning when the temperature rose and the weather became warmer. As I walked along the sidewalk along Ningyocho-dori, I noticed the display of Judo.

 There was a branch with magnolia buds. As I thought it was cute, I found a magnolia in a street tree near the amazake Yokocho intersection. There were a lot of buds that seemed to open soon.

 I thought that spring could be found everywhere in the city soon, so I finished my errand and moved out around Ningyocho-Nihonbashi after 3 pm. When I went to see the magnolia I saw in the morning again, the buds are swelling more than in the morning.

 The number of people going to the city increased, and many people stopped and watched. In addition, I would like to introduce "Spring" that I found.

There was a branch with white flowers at the entrance of Yoshiume.

This street, called Geisha Shindo, seems to have not been damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake or the war, and it seems that the buildings at that time remain.

The winter scenery of February was also tasteful.

A cherry blossom tree near Yabusoba, Ningyocho. It's similar to Yoshino cherry tree. Is it different?

I think it's a cat willow ... (Ota sushi)

Walking toward Nihonbashi and crossing Showa-dori, the hydrangea street in Nihonbashi Honmachi is Okamezakura.

The dark pink and small petals are lovely.

After all, dumplings rather than flowers

 

 

 

Original taste twice a week <Eitaro Sohonpo Tamadare>

 Last fall, "Town Walking Tour Nihonbashi Long-established Course 1" participated for the first time with the help of lead. We introduced three long-established stores: Ninben, Eitaro Sohonpo, and Yamamotoyama. At that time, while listening to the story at Eitaro Sohonbu, the manager introduced a wasabi-flavored raw confectionery called "Tamadare", and I was always worried.

 I took a break on a certain Tuesday to listen to the results of the ward's health checkup at a hospital in Nihonbashi in January, or I dared to Tuesday because Tuesday was only convenient only on Wednesday, There is a reason. These products are sold only on Tuesday and Thursday. I made a phone call and booked one.

 So, this is the ball (Smimasen with only the cut picture).

 Is it 16-7cm in length and 2-2.5cm in diameter? The light green core wrapped in white fertilizer is very beautiful. It is said that it is made by mixing Yamatoimo, sugar, and grilled rice flour that has been grounded in wasabi. You can feel the pungency and aroma of wasabi firmly, but it goes well with a slightly sweet fertilizer. It's a very mysterious taste, and it's an unexpected habit. I had it with matcha.

 We use this wasabi (from Amagi), but he said that it could not be manufactured too much because of the low production volume, so he said that it was sold only on Tuesday and Thursday at Nihonbashi Main Store. Please try the original and precious taste once.
