old calendar June 16. Offer Japanese sweets and rice cakes to God
I wish I don't get sick and get it.
There was a custom of that.

During the Edo period, shoguns gave daimyo, and flagships served sweets.
It is an event that has spread as a gift culture.

In 1979, the Japanese Confectionery Association held "Wa Confectionery Day".
It was established.

It is said that "the life of Japanese sweets is ann," and it is suitable for your own shop.
I'll devise my own bean paste.

Tsukiji also wrapped a special bean paste in the shape of fish.
There are shops that offer Japanese-style sweets.

Kokura Ann's "hon tuna" and Kokura Ann's sweet and sour
Two kinds of "Nakatoro" wrapped with apricot.

You can only eat here
How about using "tuna grilled" as a snack or souvenir?

The Tsukiji Lion Festival in 2018 is the main festival once every three years.

The water shrine festival, which was held during the Edo period and was no longer held due to the reclamation of the Kintoshigawa River, was revived for the first time in about 100 years, and the "Funa imperial procession" was held with Sennukimiya portable shrine on a boat.

The children's portable shrine also lined up, the water festival was held, descended the Sumida River, and the boat went to Hamarikyu.

I stayed at a very fine Hamarikyu inn, and the next day I went to imperial procession around Tsukiji.

I was particularly focused this year.

June 2nd is "Alley Day".

It seems to be the day when it was established to review the goodness of the alley.

There are many narrow alleys in the gaps lined with buildings in Ginza.

Proceed along the alley next to the shop, and you'll see

First of all, the automatic door and "You can pass through".

When you pass through the automatic door, you can see the inside of the coffee shop.

There is an alley inside the white line of the floor inside the store.

If you go further along the alley, you will see Toyo Iwaineari Shrine at the corner.

　You can enjoy the extraordinary life that lives quietly behind the alleys of the gorgeous Ginza city.

I found a capsule toy of a "turret-type on-site transport vehicle" that runs around Tsukiji Market in all directions in the out-of-office market.

In the cargo, items like Tsukiji, such as cardboard, styrofoam boxes, and tuna, are precisely reproduced.

In addition, at Namiki Shrine, a capsule vending machine with a 100-sha frame wooden bill is installed.

It's original and very astringent.

How about a souvenir for sightseeing in Tsukiji?
