　I jogged about 10 kilograms before going to work this morning, and suddenly, "Oh? It's like this!' Yes, it's Yanagi Sansei in Ginza. It is located near Sakurada Gate in the Imperial Palace. I've been there many times, but I haven't noticed it so far, so how I haven't looked around ...

It's written on the signboard. "Ginza's willow III who disappeared from Ginza Street in 1968. Nisei willows were raised as cuttings with the willow branches of Ginza, and as cuttings, Ichiji Shiiba and Yasuo Katsumata grew the third willows with all heart. " It is a donation from the two of them.

　Speaking of Ginza, willow may be imagined by people over a certain generation, but it was in 1968 that the last willow was removed from Ginza Street (Chuo-dori). After the willow, shrubs Sharinbai are planted, and now yews are planted higher than human height.

　The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ginza Street Federation have announced that they will replant street trees into wigs by 2020, so Ginza Street is likely to become a more comfortable space in summer with more shade than ever before. (Sinding is essential for the hot summer in the coming summer.)

By the way, even though there is no willow on the current Ginza-dori (Chuo-dori), as the name suggests, "Ginza Yanagi-dori St." is planted with trees in the alleys and willows cover the road.

The width of this Ginza Yanagi-dori St. is currently 16 meters. So, this width is the same road width as Ginza Street in the Edo period. Then, when I walked through the current Ginza Yanagi-dori St. while imagining and experiencing the width of the road in the Edo period, I felt like I could feel the hustle and bustle of the time, and how to walk like a time slip just by feeling It may be a way to enjoy it.

　As you may know, in April 1959, "Miyoshikai" was launched as a youth club of the Nihonbashi Cuisine and Food Business Association.

While accumulating activities rooted in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, we are sincerely working hard to cook food to protect the taste of Nihonbashi and expand the circle of exchange among members. In recent years, we have actively participated in various activities in the region and are actively working on the challenge of revitalizing the region.

The number of members gradually increased, and now it is about 60 people.

There are many famous shops in Nihonbashi, but because there are many options, I am worried about which shop is better, but if you are a member of this "Miyoshikai" (shops) I guess there is no doubt.

There are various types of faces, such as long-established stores and founding Hoya Hoya shops, but the passion for betting on restaurant management and the spirit of loving the city of Nihonbashi are both common.

There may be problems with the sensitivity of my antenna, but I think it's getting more and more momentum recently and more opportunities to see it.

Occasionally, we often offer limited menus for events, and the other day, a lunch menu measure of 3440 yen was being developed.

The menu of every shop looks delicious. I was worried about what to eat ... I have no eyes on the sweet stuff, so this time I ordered a Afternoon Tea set with a fruit parlor at Senbikiya.

Well, it's delicious. Every time you get one step by step, the sadness of the goal approaches (laughs).

The drink is a blend of cold green tea and grapes. This was personally a new way of drinking.

Looking around, everyone seems to be ordering this 3440 menu, and it is still popular as a special menu.

(It is secret that we ordered not only the Afternoon Tea set but also the malon shortcake (soaked in milk).)
