In August, the weather will continue.

To Tsukiji Temple in search of summer-likeness.

The word "raw agar" written on the banner caught my eye.

The atmosphere inside the store is cozy and invited by the good scent of Amakusa.

I ordered "Shinta".

You can choose vinegar soy sauce or black honey.

Boiled Amakusa from Kozushima Island.

It's a raw agar that doesn't bleach.

It has good flavor, moderate elasticity, and abundant minerals.

I enjoyed the taste of summer.

The Reitaisai festival of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine is the Sanno Festival, the Kanda festival.
It is counted as one of the three major festivals in Edo.

On August 13, 53 portable shrines came together to form a coalition imperial procession.

Turn around Fukagawa from Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine.
Cross Kiyosu Bridge, cross the Eitai Bridge from Shinkawa, and return.

The bearers stretched their arms and gave portable shrine high.

Then, the song of woodworking and the gorgeous Tekomai led the way to Eitai Bridge.

As the name of the "Spring Festival", from crowds along the road to the bearer
The clean water is exposed, and the bearer and the audience are united.
It was very exciting.

It's at the height of summer.

It seems that a body wants cold noodles on a hot day.
Pass through the noren of Rikyu-an in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

The aim is "Grated soba" with a refreshing taste.
Grated radish, lemon, laver, sesame, thread-cut bonito flakes,
I'll have a pure white sarashina soba with condiment green onions.

I thought it would be diluted with grated radish
The soup. After that, the soba hot water is also delicious.

Soba contains a lot of nutrients.
It is said to be a perfect meal in summer when appetite tends to decline.

Let's survive this heat by eating soba.
