Lunch at Omi Champon specialty store "Champontei Sohonke"!

[JRT Felt] March 5, 2019 12:00

It's been raining for a long time in Tokyo, where Karakara has been dry all the time.
The temperature drops and I want to eat something warm!
Would you like ramen? Well, I want to eat vegetables, thinking about my body....
While thinking, I passed in front of Ins along Sotobori-dori St. (Nishi Ginza Street), and a signboard jumped into my eyes.

Warm, can you eat vegetables and improve your girl's power? I have to try this! That's why I went straight to the shop!

This shop is a system where you buy a meal ticket at a ticket vending machine after entering the store and then arrive at your seat.
This time, I ordered a few noodles of "Vegetable Plenty Champon". It's 830 yen.

When I went to the back of the store with a meal ticket, the clerk guided me around the seat, "Please come here."
Inside the store, there seemed to be about 30 people, including counters and table seats, and there was a quite wide open feeling.

This is an Omi-chanpon specialty store that originated in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture in 1963!
I would like you to enjoy the carefully cooked golden soup and locally grown vegetables.
It is Shiga's soul food that was born from the thought of it.

I've been carrying a little to wait!
A lot of vegetables (cabbage, green onions, carrots, sprouts) and meat. I ordered less noodles, but it's enough.

According to the information of the shop, the soup is based on "golden dashi", which is made by slowly boiling six kinds of fishbushi and kelp in the Ohagama in the store, and uses not only vegetables but also products from Shiga Prefecture and domestic products. is.
The specialty of the shop "Golden Dashi" is delicious with the umami of seafood!
I love eating Champon with "vinegar", and I had plenty of it this time too.
The noodles are made from whole wheat flour (wheat skin) popular among women who are sensitive to beauty and health.
It seems to be blended, and it is certainly not false on the signboard of improving women's power (laughs).

In the store, various information about Omi-chanpon and shops was posted.

I thought Champon would be suitable for men, just like ramen, but I am convinced that there were many female customers.
I want to eat noodles! But it's perfect for women who are not good at ramen.

I encountered the first day festival of Ko Inari Shrine!

[JRT Felt] March 2, 2019 12:00

As I walked around Ginza 1-chome, I saw a flag set up.

On February 14th, when I thought there was something, I came across the "Hatsuno Matsuri" held at Ko Inari Shrine in Ginza 1-chome, so I will introduce it.


Hatsuma is the first noon day in February, and the first noon festival is the first day of February 711, when Inari Oga was first enshrined at Mikamine of Mt. Inari. It is a festival that prays for Oga's vast and unbearable deity.

On the day of the event, I was asked to come to chief priest from Hie-jinja Shrine to give me felicitation, so I was nervously watching Shinto ritual, which I rarely see in front of me.
After chief priest gave the congratulatory words, people who seemed to be local officials came one after another with Sakaki.

The general public also asked me to come freely, and I also visited.

In the cold weather, it was worth seeing until the end.
It is said that worshiping Inari Shrine at the first noon will benefit you.

When you come to Ginza 1-chome, please come and visit "Ko Inari Shrine".

~ About Ko Inari Shrine ~
The shrine has been enshrined in Ginza 1-chome since the Edo period. (1-5-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku)
enshrined deity is the god of the soul of Ukano. It is Mikogami of Susanoogami, the same god as Kura Inatama no Mikoto.
The detailed origin is unknown, but it is said that it was recommended by Fushimiinari in Kyoto and worshiped here.
In the Edo period, there was a time when it was called "Tachiuri Inari" because of the city of swords and Wakizashi.
It is also known for its benefits for marriage, thriving business, and security at home, and was rebuilt by the people living in the city after the Great Fire of the Meiji era, the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the war.
