Many people may say that the Bon holiday is over and the summer vacation feeling is over.
Speaking of summer vacation, I go to work in Minato-ku, but looking around my seat, Aomori, Akita, Hiroshima, Ishikawa, Gifu, Nara, Niigata, Saitama ... Most of the members return home to their parents' homes. No, it's the level that if you're poor, people from Tokyo may be the least.
Naturally, the fact that people from all over the country gather in Tokyo has not started now, and writer Kafu Nagai wrote in "Boku Higashi Kitan" about restaurants in Ginza after the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923) "I'm entrusted to the management of people who came from Kansai or Kyushu every now," and the number of local people has decreased, and the number of local people has increased.
Isn't it one of the goodness and depth of Tokyo that absorbs the good points of the whole country and further develops the goodness to create a unique culture?
By the way, here, based on the "First Time Story Map" issued by the tourist association in Chuo-ku, "The Era where Kafu Nagai lived" (1879-1959) I would like to list the gourmet / food culture that was created.
・Fruit Parlor (1890)
・Oyakodon (1891)
・Pork cutlet (1899)
・Anmitsu (1930)
・Children's Lunch (1930)
・Leverfly (1932)
・Cutlet curry (1948)
・Hayashi Rice (1954), etc.
Looking back again, I felt that there were more things that were created in Chuo-ku during this era than I expected. It seems interesting to follow the story of Chuo-ku for the first time while filling the stomach.
