On September 17, an event was held around Nihonbashi, where I served as a guide, as the typhoon hit the Japanese Islands in a row and the weather continued unseasonable day. Contrary to the forecast on this day, there were clouds, but the weather was fine and three hours passed quickly. The highlight of the event is "Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store", which was designated as an Important Cultural Property this year.
The name guide of the female manager known to the people in the know began with the history of Mitsukoshi, a memorable day from those who participated in a series of things they did not know, such as pipe organ performances, the scenery of the large hall with a blowout, fossils of huge ammonites, etc. I told you. Why don't you go to the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, which has been designated as an Important Cultural Property again?
Note) In-store tours are available on the second Saturday of every month from 11:30 to 14:30 to 2 times free of charge Lion Entrance Information Center
This time, I would like to introduce "Nihonbashimurocho Honen Manpuku" who was used as a lunch place for this event.
Did the storehouse built facing the Nihonbashi River use the motif of the storehouses on the fish shore that were in the land of the river? The atmosphere is good from the entrance and the mood is uplifting.
We went up to the second floor and had lunch on the terrace seat along the river. There was a giboshi on the stairs. I'm sure.
Combined with a cruising boat traveling around the river, it was a meal while enjoying the Nihonbashi brand.
Word of mouth information is often used to know the shop. In Chuo-ku, information from correspondent blogs will be added further.
When I decided on a lunch place, I was worried about where to set a restaurant that would accept a large number of 20 people on Saturday, but Mr. Manfuku Toyoto was introduced. The event on this day broke up after meals.
I tried an interview to recover the inferior students provided by blogs on a daily basis. The interview is on the first floor with impressive oriental lamp-style lighting.
And I was surprised. The manager came to a seat and started talking, "I have a study session today."
When I heard the story, it was called "Honen Manfuku Juku" once a month, and a study session was held with 30 people with instructors for each theme, and this is the 32nd time this time. In addition, once every three months, irregularly, 100 people gather from 7:30 am to 1 o'clock in the morning to hold a study session while making food using seasonal ingredients from all over the country. This was implemented 12 times, and the next time it was considered for the end of the year.
It seems that he is working with an organization based in Nihonbashi.
Before I asked, "What is a popular menu?", I decided to ask about the aspirations of the shop.
Manfuku Toyoto aims to be a restaurant that transmits cultural information through Japanese food while using not only some long-established ingredients in Nihonbashi but also ingredients that are thoughtful from producers nationwide.
From 7:30 in the early morning to 100 people, including those before commuting, can't help but feel a passionate feeling. Inside the store, there is also a corner where you can sell natural fermented products (soy sauce, miso, etc.) and long-established products from Nihonbashi.
The shop is open from 11:30.
It was a shop that hoped that Nihonbashi, the starting point of Gokaido and the starting point of Asia Highway, will continue to send a lot of news.
