October 30 "Town Walking Tour" Long-established Course 1 was held. There were 9 participants (It seems that there were 52 applicants. A total of 12 members of the correspondent association and 2 members of the 12 members of the store.
Departed in front of Mitsukoshi at 10 o'clock and first visited Bunmeido.
From the manager of Hoshino
The etymology of "castella" and the story of ingredients (eggs, sugar, flour, syrup are basically used),
And Mr. Bunmeido says that four shops are independent and each company is a separate company. (I didn't know!)
We also showed you a gift certificate issued in 1941.
The one on the left in the photo on the right is the gift certificate.
Next, I asked Mr. Saruya, a long-established toothpick. I heard from President Yamamoto.
What is the origin of the shop's name "Saruya"?
It was the origin of the unexpected name.
It seems that a toothpick shop is also depicted in the ukiyo-e on the back.
"Kuromoji" tree (?!) I purchased "Kuromoji" made from "Kuromoji".
Before visiting the next Kiya-san, I visited a nearby Fukutoku Shrine. This shrine is enshrined in the valley of the building, which is introduced on the blog of "Gimini".
The last is "Kiya". It is a long-established store that is also listed on old maps of the Edo period, and handles knives.
Mr. Kaneko says that Kiya is drawn in "Kishiro Shoran" (reproduction is on display in the underpass in front of Mitsukoshi).
The one in the forehead is the "Kishiro Shoran".
It seems that foreigners are buying Japanese knives / kitchen knives.
On this day, many foreign people could be seen, mixed with Japanese customers.
12:00 free dissolution in front of "Kiya". Participants said, "It was fun to hear a very rare story." We look forward to your participation again.
Mr. Bunmeido, Mr. Saruya, Mr. Kiya, thank you.
＊It seems that the origin of "Saruya" comes from the animal "monkey". There is a theory that monkeys do not cause pyorrhea, have white teeth, and that craftsmen who make toothpicks worked with monkeys on their side.
