Anagoya Ginza "Hirai" is delicious even in autumn

[Cotton] September 15, 2016 14:00

It is said that the season of Anako is summer, but in fact, autumn Anako is fat and this is delicious again.
I like Anako, and I visited Anagoya Ginza "Hirai", which I have been worried about for a long time.

 

It seems that this shop is a affiliated store of Nihonbashi Tamai, a long-established store in Nihonbashi.

A 5-minute walk from the Ginza 4-chome intersection.
From Harumi-dori St., enter Mihara-dori, and turn around the first alley.

P.M.12:45 The arrival lunch time is about to end. I was able to enter without waiting.

This time, "Edomae Anago Sashimi Gozen" ¥ 2,160 (tax included) Menu says that it is only summer, but it seems that you can eat it for about one month.

In a box covered with kinshi eggs, a plump conger eel is poured with a sauce of soy sauce. In addition to tuna and sweet shrimp, the sashimi of Anako has a crisp texture. In addition, it comes with fried summer vegetables and anako as a large bowl, and miso soup.

There are four types of condiments: yuzu, mortar sesame, wasabi, and green onion, and you can enjoy the change in taste by pouring it over a hole.

 

Since it is a specialty store for Anako, you can also enjoy Anako such as "Hitsumabushi" and "Hakomeshi" (2 to 4 Anakos).

P914791_48.jpgYou can choose how to finish the hole in the "Hakomeshi".

●Plump, boiled eel
 For those who want to enjoy the softness of the softness of the aperture.
●Kabashibayaki
 For those who want to enjoy the flavor of savory grilled eel

●Both
 A great way to eat both

Tokyo Olympic Games Official Goods Sales

[Cotton] August 1, 2016 13:00

2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Official Goods will be available for a limited time.

It started using a part of the Chirico Lounge on Tokyu Plaza Ginza 6F of Sukiyabashi.

P7290606_10.jpg  P7290614_11.jpg

The period is from July 29 (Fri) to September 19 (Mon) in Tokyo, sales will be made at Tokyo Metropolitan Government stores and Shibuya, etc.
However, there are few stores that handle all products, and Tokyu Plaza Ginza is one of the few stores.

We entered at the same time as the opening of the store 11 in the morning, but there was already a long line.

I think many customers have experienced the Tokyo Olympics in 1964.

After all, everyone would like to enjoy the excitement of that time again. I'm one of them.

P7290603_07.jpg It's more than an hour to wait and finally get inside.

P7290620_08.jpg    P7290622_10.jpg 

There are many types of products, as you know.

T-shirts with sin of the Japanese team were also displayed. I've also seen the signs of gymnastics Kohei Uchimura and Kenzo Shirai.

Here's the straps and pin batches I bought today. It is wonderful that the original design of the Olympics based on blue is also drawn on the bag for storing the products. Unfortunately, the polo shirt you're looking for was already sold out.

While thinking about the Tokyo Olympics four years from now, I would like to support the Japanese athletes of the Rio Olympics that will begin.

Konpuruyu

[Cotton] June 14, 2016 14:00

Did you know that there are still 9 public baths in Chuo-ku?

Today, I would like to introduce one of them Kinharuyu.

 

Kinharu Yuba was opened in Ginza in 1863 (Bunkyu 3). It was around the time of the 14th Shogun Shigeru.

The place is along Kinharu Street in Ginza 8-chome. It's in the building now, so I'll overlook it.

It's closed, but the blue signboard at Kinharuyu and the flower shop next to the entrance are landmarks.

2016060712000000r45.jpg  P6100504r13.jpg

 

When you enter the building, you'll find a shoebox. There was a simple price list beside it.

P6030416r09.jpg  P6030415r10.jpg

The right of the shoe box is men's bath on the front and ladies' bath on the back.

 

As soon as you open the door, you will find a watch stand next to you, and a very old household miniature shrine in front.

According to the shop's homepage, it was made in the Taisho era.

The ceiling of the dressing room is a stairwell and very open. There is also an old-fashioned fan, so I would appreciate it in the hot season.

Well, when you enter the bathroom, the first thing that jumps into your eyes is the stunning tile picture of colored carp and the spring and autumn birds.

All of them are Kutani porcelain made of Suzueido drawn by Shosen.

In particular, colored carp, which decorates the bathtub, seems to be swimming in the pond.

Of course, there is also a painting picture of Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji at Kinharuyu is said to be the work of Morio Nakajima, one of the only two paint painters in Japan.

Mount Fuji is depicted in men's bath and ladies' bath. You can actually see only one of them.

There are two bathtubs. The large bathtub has a jet bath, which gives you comfortable stimulation when you sit down.

 

In addition, since the bathroom is equipped with a body soap, shampoo & conditioner, you can sweat on your way home from shopping with a towel. (Please note that body soap, shampoo & conditioner will not be installed on the 2nd and 4th Friday contact public bath days.)

Everyone, please come to Kinharuyu once.

Go east

[Cotton] May 23, 2016 12:00

May 20th (Fri) I watched the east.

P5210321r10.jpg   P5200318r10.jpg

In front of Shimbashi Enbujo, there are many customers in gorgeous kimonos.

P5200316r15.jpg  P5200313r10.jpg

The inside of the theater is also decorated with banners and lanterns, and you can feel a gorgeous atmosphere.

P5200305r07.jpg

And most of all, the fun is lunch box.

You can enjoy chirashi sushi from 7 long-established restaurants.

It's like this.

P5200283r10.jpg

In addition to lunch boxes, you can enjoy the taste of the restaurant during the intermission.

“Awa Sake Shop” “Shimbashi Ryotei Saka-Su (Sake, Confectionery, Sushi) Sales Office”

There are various corners such as "Sake Masu-selling and Tamagoyaki from each restaurant" and you can enjoy it.

Because it was a great deal, we compared the eating of three kinds of egg-yaki from a long-established restaurant.

Well, it was delicious and the taste of the serving was firmly felt, and it was difficult to attach.

P5200287r08.jpg

Of course, the dance was wonderful, and theater was a place worthy of the name "Cultural Salon Playing Japan."

The east dance takes place in mid-May every year. Tickets are sold about a month ago.

Everyone, please come next year.
