One of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, Kotobuki Oigami Shrine. From here, turn right at the Hisamatsu Police Station and you will find "1 sho mochi poster" Japanese confectionery "Minosha".

The owner who makes Japanese sweets with the feeling of the season is important, and the seasonal recommendation is "Kurimushiyokan". I had a pancake-like "Dorayaki". In the Edo period, we left Tomizawa Town, which prospered as a used clothes market for Tobizawa, and headed for Ningyocho.

Turning Ningyocho Station A2 Exit, Ningyocho-dori toward the Horidome intersection, the signboard of "Ubukeya", which sells knives in Ningyocho since the Meiji Restoration, across the road. After that, look at the "Sanko Inari Shrine", turn left and walk a little. Horidome Children's Park. Kiyokazuken, a long-established Japanese confectionery in the foreground. A little earlier, there is "Seisei Inari Shrine", which is said to have been founded in 1617 (1617) in the building valley, and the first generation Danjuro came and gave his name.

Kiyokazuken was founded in 1861 (1864) in Horie-cho, Nihonbashi (currently Kofune-cho). Today's business is a stylish shop on the first floor of a building in Horidome-cho. The 7th-generation shopkeeper has been protecting noren for more than 140 years. The reputation of "Dorayaki" is a fragrant dough and a hearty bean paste, and you can feel the old-fashioned technique and newness. "Kurimanju" is also a good taste.

　Inari

I'm going to Kobunacho. Kofune-cho in the Edo period was located between the Horidome River and is said to be one of the leading wholesale districts in Edo. In the Showa period, trading companies, textiles, and pharmaceutical companies entered the market. On this street, which faces the Horidomecho intersection from Showa-dori Honmachi 2-chome intersection, was founded in 1590 (1590), "Ibasen", a fan and fan, "Eel / Takashimaya", founded in 1875 (1875), "Nagase Sangyo", which entered Tokyo in 1911, is a long-established Japanese confectionery "Nitsuki-san". It became a town of Kobuna.......In Horidome-cho, "Sugimori Inari" of Ebisu God, and in Honmachi (formerly Otemmacho), "Ozu Washi" celebrated its 360th anniversary. Nearby is Takarada Ebisu Shrine, a thriving business.

Higetsudo was founded in 1877. Seasonal fresh sweets, red and white bunjo, New Year's kagami mochi, Noshimochi and classic Dorayaki have been loved by local people in the middle of Edo's commercial area....Recently, new flavors of sweets have been created, such as coffee live Daifuku, black madora, and Kurikinton, which were also featured on TV.　　In Betara City, lucky items Kirisansho and (Kurimiyokan), which are handed down as offerings for Ebisu-ko, are sold at a stall in front of Takarada Ebisu Shrine. The origin of Kirisansho Sansho has long been known for its various effects, but since it is spicy, it has been reported that it has been made into a sweet confectionery with new flour to make it easier for children to eat.

Higetsudo

October 19th and 20th are the autumn feature "Nihonbashi Ebisu Kobetara City". It is held in the former Otemmacho area (Honmachi 3-chome, Otemmacho, Horidomecho).

Near the current 1,2-chome Shinkawa, called by the name of "Reishijima". In the Edo period, the area was separated by the excavation of the Canal Shinkawa River, but on the banks of the river are bustling with wholesalers and white-walled sake brewery. 23 years after the war, Shinkawa was reclaimed. Here in the Shinkawa area, you will meet a shop where you can experience the history of Japanese sweets.

The first house is a short time after crossing the Reigishibashi from Kayabacho Station, turning left, Shinkawa 1-chome "Tagawado" with an old wooden carving sign. The inside of the store is a retro, elderly husband and gentle landlady, keeping the taste of the establishment of the late Meiji era. "Ogura Daifuku", "Barabimochi" and "Mushi Kanoko" each have the taste of a craftsman, and I feel the moderate sweetness and the old days.

Turn left toward Hatchobori and you will find the memorial for the victims of the war (large air raid) and the memorial for the victims of the Great Earthquake Fire (Kanto major earthquake). You can see Kameshima Bridge at Shin-Kameshima Bridge Hashigami. The side of the bridge is "Umekatei"....Inspired by the story of Kosai Udagawa, a Dutch scholar who returned to Nagasaki, he gave out "Amerika Manju", which is called the founder of chestnut buns, and became a big hit. The second generation founded a gong-yaki (a large dorayaki with a single Atsushi skin that integrates bean paste and skin) in the early Meiji era, and restored it again in 1998. Next, he devised "Mikasayama" of Wakakusa bean paste, and the naming is said to be Danjuro 9th. The sixth generation of the Showa period devised "Umemonaka" with three kinds of plum-shaped bean paste. It is said that they are making Kirisansho and Jiryuji only in the city of Betara. <.From the company's website, Edo Tokyo late Tokugawa shogunate Gourmet> "The first priority is to have customers enjoy a pleasant space, and it is elegant in the common people....It is a long-established store where you can taste the story of the shop as it is.

Meikatei

By the way, the origin of Dorayaki was changed from "Souso ware, which opened in Kojimachi in the early Edo period, but we opened a store in late Tokugawa shogunate." <Based on the Dictionary of Things>

The Rio Olympics-Para Joint Triumphal Parade will be held on October 7 at about 2.5 km from Ginza 8-chome intersection to Nihonbashi Muromachi. Once again the enthusiastic crowd was along the road.
