A little chopstick rest-What is a pot dish that makes you want to pickle?―

[Ino-chan] Nov. 4, 2018 18:00

 

Nihonbashi Ebisu Kobetara City was held on October 19 and 20.

It seems that a lot of people came out just by checking on this blog.

 

In the last of Heisei, Betara-shi, I went without much omission.

 

IMG_5821.JPG

A piece that reveals that you are a nocturnal correspondent.

 

At that time, I purchased it from Tokyo Betara pickled sweet and spicy kimchi flavor from Shintakaya, Tokyo.

I started from a place that is not a royal road, but this was also delicious.

A moderate sweetness beyond spiciness, no, moderate spiciness beyond sweetness.

 

In Betara City, it was sold out as soon as possible on the evening of the 20th. It was sold like a fly

It's pickled, how do you eat it?

 

When I heard that it was pickled, I used to make it at the end of a winter hot pot dish, Pienro (flank furnace).

I remember that it was "designated" as a porridge companion.

 

In an illustrated essay by graphic designer Kawado Senoo.

It is a Chinese cabbage pot that has been introduced and widely known, and it is originally a Chinese home cooking.

What? In the Kappa Sketchbook (published by Bungei Shunju, 1995), the back cover is a compilation of essays.

It's also available.

 

Because the procedure, ingredients and taste are very simple, it is called the definitive version of a man's Chinese cabbage pot.

It is now a classic winter dish, and the porridge made with this soup is also exquisite.

 

Kappa said that the hot porridge was "bettara pickles for some reason."

 

It's very easy to make a pienro. There is no curtain for magistrates to come out.

You can get the recipe right away on the internet.

I'm not good at cold winters, but I miss this pot only. Chinese cabbage, I'm waiting for you.

 

Everyone who has obtained the finest Beta pickles in Betara City, what is the coming season?

Please try it to match the pienro and the rice porridge.

 

 

 

 

A little New York Times - a town walk with a public bath―

[Ino-chan] 12:00 on October 8, 2018

NYT.jpg

October 10 is the day of the public bath.

You can easily find the official website of the Tokyo Bath Association just by searching for "1010".

 

_DSC1368.jpg

 

On October 7, a "Sento Certification" was also conducted.

This test was once performed around November 26 (a good bath day).

It's a little trivia.

 

There are currently 9 public baths in Chuo Ward.

In this correspondent blog, sometimes the topic of public baths appears.

 

_DSC1377.jpg

 

As a bath lover, I went around more than 100 public baths in Tokyo alone.

It is a real pleasure to enjoy the feeling of traveling while staying in Tokyo in combination with walking around the town.

 

Some of the public baths are no longer available, and the modern building on the site is built.

I don't feel lonely when I look at it, but it's created by the city with the times.

Evidence that has changed. It's a nostalgic memory now.

 

By the way, those who have taken the "Sento Test" have just waited for the results, but

We have just started applying for the Chuo-ku Tourism Test this month.

 

Autumn deepens and the holiday weather continues.

Take the "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" in one hand and walk around the town and go to Onsen tour.

Please go out.

[Nihonbashibakurocho] Break "Bridge Coffee and Ice Cream" while strolling around East Tokyo

[Ino-chan] September 13, 2018 18:00

 

The shops we introduce today will stop by when you walk around the Bakurocho area, which is attracting attention again.

Cafe Bridge Coffee and Ice Cream.

 

IMG_3880.JPG

 

The Eagle Building is located at the intersection of Asakusabashi where Yasukuni Dori and Edo-dori St. intersect.

 

IMG_3893.JPG

 

The eagle mark shining on a deep blue-colored tile that looks dark indigo or black.

This building, which has an exquisitely cool retro logotype, is also a Western-style building that has remained since before the war.

I think there are many fans.

 

IMG_3886.JPG

 

Bridge is located on the first floor of the Eagle Building.

A sense of openness created by high ceilings and large windows. It looks very comfortable.

 

IMG_3867.JPG 

 

IMG_3877.JPG

 

I ordered a drip coffee right away.

 

IMG_3872.JPG

 

When I told the clerk my taste, he recommended a fruity Colombian product.

 

IMG_3860.JPG

 

The device is V60. Ceramic white goes well with a simple kitchen.

One of the pleasures of these cafes is that you can carefully brew "a cup for me".

I hear you say, "It's delicious."

 

As the name suggests, Bridge is a cafe where ice cream is delicious.

I had the most popular pistachio on this day.

 

IMG_3862.JPG

 

IMG_3870.JPG

 

Colombia-grown coffee goes well with natty pistachio ice cream.

Thank you, the clerk.

 

There are a lot of delicious things besides ice cream.

I want to win all kinds if I can!

 

IMG_3874.JPG

 

IMG_3873.JPG 

 

No matter where you cut it, the inside of the store is fashionable. Up to the number tag while waiting for coffee

It was cute.

 

There are a number of interiors that would have been selected that you would not see elsewhere.

Not to mention, the moderate self-service mode is also a European cafe.

It makes me think.

  

IMG_3876.JPG

 

IMG_3884.JPG

 

But this is Bakurocho. Is it really that old-fashioned wholesaler town?

I've spent a relaxing time falling into a pleasant illusion.

 

In recent years, the number of hostels for foreign visitors to Japan has increased in this area, and the face of the people coming to the city has been steadily increasing.

It's rich in international colors.

 

Click here for past articles in this blog (author: Mr. Shiba Inu)

  "The activity base for local travel in the city center. An interesting hostel in Bakurocho, a wholesale district!'

 

For me who was born and raised in East Tokyo (East Tokyo), this change has not been seen.

I was surprised. This is something that has evolved while feeling the changing times.

I would like to take a walk around the area again.

[Participation Report] Summer Festival 2018 in Hamacho Park

[Ino-chan] September 4, 2018 18:00

On August 19 (Sun), I went to "Summer Festival 2018" held at Hamacho Park.

 

On this day, it was a good summer-like nature, eating delicious food and eating.

It was a very fun day when I met a popular character and returned to my childhood.

I would like to leave it on my blog instead of the picture diary of summer vacation.

 

The first thing I visited was

Booth to publicize Chuo-ku sightseeing certification "Chuo-ku sightseeing certification challenge quiz!" (Hereinafter referred to as the following).

Greetings to the correspondent in charge.

Customers are constantly coming to challenge the mini quiz. It's a great success.

 

I am a correspondent who can afford and answer all the questions correctly and is natural (not strong).

I'm going to take on the challenge.

Well, all questions were answered correctly without giving any hints. I am not in my position.

I'm glad to receive a lot of prize Chuo-ku goods. Thank you very much.

 

Around the stall village. There was a long line in the hotel-made Tanshichu.

I see, it looks delicious.

 

In the meantime, eat freshly baked yakisoba next to the certification booth unconsciously.

It is absolutely a secret that you forgot to take a picture.

 

We lined up in another line. This is sumo wrestlers' hot pot in the Arashio room.

A chanko nabe provided by a sumo room to which the active wrestler belongs.

That's a genuine monophone sumo wrestlers' hot pot.

 

In the middle of the line, the number of people waiting for chanko is from the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, probably due to too many queues.

A certain Mr. Mura came to count.

I couldn't do "Toki soba", so I just greeted him and missed him.

 

I'm preparing now. I'm excited.

 

IMG_4858.JPG

 

Wassa.

 

IMG_4859.JPG

 

Yes, it's done.

 

IMG_5539.JPG

 

No! The procession is also full of satisfaction.

 

IMG_4861.JPG 

 

 

Next, we visited the All Japan Tug of War Festival (Tuna Festival).

 

IMG_4869.JPG

 

Everyone in the Arashio room where laughter spills after a serious expression.

 

IMG_4872.JPG

 

In the midst of the fierce battle, there is such a peaceful scene at the rope festival.

 

 

On the outdoor stage, a quiz tournament for Chuo-ku sightseeing certification has started.

A fellow correspondent went up on the stage, and it was the Chuo-ku Tourism Test and the official text.

Introducing "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia that can be seen on foot". It's really nice.

 

Now, it's time for a quiz where you can finally get the luxurious prizes you've been waiting for.

Yes, I understand all the questions. He's a correspondent. ※I don't have any information leakage (laughs).

He shouted and applauded if the place was a little excited, and he would be a resident of the city.

And watched the little children vigorously raise their hands.

 

It is also the job of the correspondent to explain the quiz.

It was an interesting and helpful commentary that would say "Hey ~" unintentionally.

I have to follow you.

Thank you for your support!

 

 

In addition, entertainers from Yoshimoto Kogyo performed balloon art at the venue.

There are lots of content that will entertain visitors all day.

 

Oh! Mr. Pikachu. It's my first time to see you.

 

IMG_5545.JPG

 

Even before the actual performance, it is a large service that offers cute poses.

All the good adults who were present were turned into smiles and left.

 

IMG_4867.JPG

 

As expected, Pokemon. Please do your best for the "10 Great March" after this.

 

 

On the way back to Ningyocho with great satisfaction, I found a deep hall, Tokyo Miso Kaikan.

I would like to express my respect to Mr. George May, who is developing the series.

 

IMG_4880.JPG

 

I don't know the location, so please look for it as well.

 

 

It was such a report, but even those who could not come to the certification booth.

We hope that you will be interested in the Chuo-ku Tourism Test and correspondent activities.

 

 

 

 

A little tea break - a cool, cold tea promotion―

[Ino-chan] August 4, 2018 14:00

 

Hot days continue, isn't it?

In this season, cold tea is indispensable for the refrigerator in our home.

 

_DSC9067.JPG

 

The photo shows green tea with water.

When it comes to watering, just pour water into the tea leaves packed in tea packs and cool it.

It would be better if you brew it properly, but it's very easy because it's everyday.

Still, it's delicious enough.

 

_DSC9028.JPG

 

My favorite tea leaves are powdered tea from teahouse, whose head office is located in Kyoto.

Recommended at an affordable price that you can drink easily.

In Chuo-ku, you can buy it at Nihonbashi Takashimaya or Ginza Mitsukoshi.

 

_DSC8968.JPG

 

Both glasses and pitchers were purchased in Ningyocho Setono City.

 

The cool light glass is perfect for the feeling of cold tea. It seems to go well with cold sake.

I forgot the price because it was a long time ago, but it was a super expensive item.

There is no doubt.

 

_DSC9005.JPG

 

The pitcher is made of HARIO heat-resistant glass.

It can be used not only for watering but also for cooling hot-brewed hojicha or boiled barley tea.

 

By the way, this year's Ningyocho Seto City finally approached next week.

Everyone, please go out to search for bargains.

 

When shopping in the scorching sun, hydrate frequently with cold tea even if you are not thirsty.

If you sweat a lot, please take moderate salt as a measure against heat stroke.

 

 

Ningyocho Setono City

 3 days from the first Monday of August every year 2018 August 6 (Mon) to 8 (Wed).

 From 10:00 to 20:00 ※It tends to start early in rainy weather or last day.

 At Ningyocho Shopping Street (from Ningyocho Intersection on Ningyocho Street to Suitengu Intersection)

 

 

 

 

[Ginza 6-chome] Handmade baked pudding with beakers "MARLOWE"

[Ino-chan] July 31, 2018 09:00

 

It was in Tokyo too. --marLOWE's beaker pudding.

 

_DSC7672.JPG

 

This pudding, milk and eggs are authentic and very delicious.

 

As the name suggests, Marlow is a restaurant with a view of the sea in Yokosuka City.

 

Many customers use pudding, which was originally offered as a dessert menu at the main store.

In response to this request, what we started selling for take-out is now synonymous with Marlow.

However, the pudding shops selling this beaker pudding are also Hayama and Zushi.

It was only located in Kanagawa Prefecture, the same as the main store.

 

For this reason, I used to buy it exclusively for events at department stores in Tokyo, etc.

From 2017, the only permanent store outside the prefecture has appeared in GINZA SIX.

 

The other day, I chose a little special "Royal Milk Tea Pudding".

It is in the Ginza beaker made to commemorate the 1st anniversary of the opening of GINZA SIX.

 

_DSC7663.JPG

 

A familiar beaker depicts the cityscape of Ginza in the 1960s.

It was around the time the last Tokyo Olympics were held.

 

Perhaps because of your mind, Uncle Marlow is more proud than usual (perfectly because of your mind).

 

_DSC7671.JPG

 

Marlow's heat-resistant beaker can be reused, and if you bring it to the store next time, 200 yen will be returned.

※Some items that are not subject to reuse, such as limited beakers, and are returned to beakers.

Some  events are not available, so please check when using cashbacks.

 

Ginza beaker purchased a teak lid with the intention of collecting it.

Well, what shall I put in?
