It's rosemary sea, covering "gifts and I enjoy myself" with visitors.

This time, I would like to touch on the history of Bunmeido Nihonbashi Main Store.

It is introduced in two parts: "Castella and Bunmeido" and "Bunmeido History Chronicle".

This time, I was also taken care of by the manager of the Hoshino head office of Bunmeido Tokyo Nihonbashi Main Store Co., Ltd.

Then...

(At the Embassy of Japan in Spain, the master of civilization and Ambassador Francis Cocaste Rio)

Castella and Mr. Bunmeido

Castella was introduced to the Spanish "Sweets of the Kingdom of Castilian" and was introduced to Nagasaki, which was thriving as a port of Nanban trade in the 16th century.

Bunmeido was founded in Nagasaki, Kyushu in 1900.

As you all know, Nagasaki prospered as the only trading port with Western Europe during the Edo period when Japan was isolated.

Bunmeido spread castella grown in Nagasaki from Portugal, Spain, as Japanese sweets.

Confectionery made with scrutinized materials and the skills of skilled craftsmen.

Mr. Bunmeido will deliver the deliciousness created from it with sincerity.

It is Bunmeido's desire to add color to the moment of relaxation, which has been handed down since its founding.

Everything is for the customer's smile. I will continue to do this.

It's upmary sea. After over 300 articles, I will write an article with a different taste for the first time.

Shinbabashi (Shinbabashi)

The bridge over the Metropolitan Expressway, which connects Nihonbashi 2-chome on the east and west of Showa-dori, and the southeast to Sakamoto Elementary School in Nihonbashikabutocho (currently under renovation).

The capital city was originally a rugged river called Momijigawa. It is the capital city height that has been reclaimed.

Shinbabashi is a bridge between Chiyodabashi and Kuyasubashi.

However, since the adjacent Chiyodabashi is a bridge under the capital height, the Shinbabashi Bridge is the last bridge that goes out above ground and the first bridge that goes underground, such a stance.

Currently, this Shinba Bridge is still closed to vehicles.

A part of a car that passed through the Metropolitan Expressway last summer and a part of the car that violated the height limit hit this Shinba Bridge, damaging the bridge girder.

It's been closed since then.

※　Pedestrians and bicycles can pass through.

In the restoration work plan, inspection, investigation, and new design are completed, and construction is started.

It seems that there is a delay, but I think the construction period will be announced soon.

I am very concerned about this bridge, which is close to Rosmari's workplace.

 

 

This is rosemary sea, where we cover "gifts and enjoy yourself" with Ann Paidwork.
