Hello, this is Taro Chuo. This is the first time in a year.
The Chuo-ku sightseeing test has been over, and I am relieved to have scored points that could manage to continue my correspondent in my own scoring. Also, as for the rest of this year, I am worried about the movie "Mascarade Hotel", which was modeled on Park Hotel in Hakozaki in the original work.
Well, this time, part of the correspondent activity (?) However, an off-party was held on January 19th (Saturday) at a Sicily cuisine bar & restaurant called Cantina Sicilyina in Ginza. Since I was a secretary, I would like to make a blog that also serves as a report on it.
If you are thinking of becoming a correspondent in the future, I would appreciate it if you could refer to it because there is something like this.
When I had a chance to meet Mr. Kno of the tourist association in October, it was a matter of planning an off-site party after a long absence, and when I asked everyone, there were many people who wanted to do it So, it was a carry of realization.
As the name implies, Cantina Sicilyna is a well-established restaurant that has been published in Michelin's Bibligurman for the second consecutive year in 2017 and 2018, and sommeliers are also available. When I came before, the atmosphere of the dishes, wine and the restaurant was very good, and lunch is open until 15:30, it can be reserved from 16 people, even if you ask for one drink and a reasonable amount of food It fits in just over 3,000 yen. 。 。 I thought it was perfect for this off party.
There are a total of 3 Cantina Sicilyna stores, 2 stores in Ginza and 1 store in Hakata.
This time, we performed at the Ginza 6-chome store, which won the Michelin (a store in an alley just one from Corridor Street).
The shop opened on June 14, 2013.
Follow the blog of the store below from the "article list" for how to open Sicily, not only dishes and wine, but also the interior and exterior of the shop.

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, located on the toes of the Italian peninsula. Due to its geographical location, it has a history of repeated conquering and governing as a key point of the Mediterranean Sea. It is said that a unique food culture was nurtured by the mixture of various cultures and its climatic characteristics.
Many people may be associated with the hometown of the movie "God Father".
It is famous for a variety of agricultural products such as olives, fresh fish, cheese and meat.
Some of the participants at the off-party were ordering "blood orange" juice, which was so red that it was different from tomato juice when making juice with Sicily's specialty food, I guess it was checked in advance.
In addition, Sicily is said to be a region where winemaking is so popular among Italy, which is comparable to France in terms of wine production, because its varied terrain is suitable for grape production.
At Cantina Sicilyna, you will enjoy more than 200 kinds of Sicily wine.
That's why I also received 2 cups of Scily spmante and house wine.
At the off-party, you first choose "PRANZO C (C Lunch / 2,300 yen)" and your favorite drink (around 800 yen) x 1 cup as a dish, and after the second cup, those who want it individually Order it Did.
I omit the details of the dishes, but personally I thought it was very delicious, including drinks.
The shop's specialty Sicily olive oil comes out with bread, but I think this goes well with anything, such as fish fries and pasta that appear on the course. Please try it.
In addition, the shop is decorated with a strange design flag with a face in the middle and three legs coming out of it, and many people were unusual, so I will supplement it just in case .
This flag is the Sicily State flag and is called "Triskel".
The face in the middle represents Medusa and the three feet represent the three capes of Sicily.
Medusa was not a monster, but originally a goddess of the earth, so this Triskel seems to be a symbol of Sicily with a rich earth.
※If you can search for the Sicily state flag with "Scily flag" on Google etc., you can check the strange design.
The meeting was scheduled to have a total of 30 participants, but three (two adults / one child) were not involved due to influenza or their nursing, and ultimately 27 (one child) ). Mr. Ura and Mr. Kno from the tourist association participated.
Also, as special guests, JUMI, who is always taking care of Chuo FM's correspondent corner "I love Chuo-ku", and his director, Imura, participated.
After all, the same hobby (?) The people with each other just swayed and took pictures, but two hours passed quickly. ※I believe everyone enjoyed it.
After all, once a year, this kind of off-party is also good.
Well, I hope you will be a fun correspondent activity next year.
