Introducing Chuo-ku's seasonal information by sightseeing volunteer members who passed the Chuo-ku Tourism Association's Chuo-ku Tourism Certification and registered as correspondents.
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. The other day, I revisited TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store, which was introduced in the middle of this month. 2 weeks from the grand opening on the 11th...I was wondering if there was any change. Surprisingly, "In this short period of time !?" It turned into a fulfilling shop.
From rare items to check for Chuo-ku lovers, news that you want to talk to everyone, etc. The tricks to make Tsukiji even more vibrant and the creation of topics are also perfect. This time, I will tell you about the "now" of TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store, which is evolving every day!
■New menus and products From the time we introduced last time, we have increased the number of roast beef rice balls by two. As you can see in the photo, "Yoshiokaya Tanakatsuki" and "Akiyama Shoten Magurobushi" joined the group. How does the match between the fish and the roast beef? Expectations increase because the taste of the last time is remembered.
(I'm sorry for the slightly tilted photo.)
And in addition to the signboard "Sake Kasu Milk Mashiro" and "Roast Beef Onigiri (RBO)" Curry, miso stew, etc. of beef sushi that can be purchased as souvenirs for those coming from afar. It seems that new menus and souvenir gifts for take-out are increasing one after another.
Personally, I'm worried about the store manager's recommendation set (30 sets daily only) scheduled to start sales from Monday, February 4! Isn't 3 kinds of today's rice balls on a boat dish too luxurious? I am worried about what the new menu of sake lees milk soup is like. I think it will be a warm menu of Tsukiji that I want to check this winter.
■To make you want to take a picture It's not just the menu that powered up in two weeks! The pure white wall now has a cute design. A logo that is just right for taking pictures to commemorate the visit.
The background of roast beef rice balls is such a thing that you want to aim for Instagram!
This time, we had sesame (ice) of "Sake Kasu Milk Mashiro", which the shop also said that they liked it, and we had it. As a result of trial and error on my own to see if I could somehow take a cute picture. I was able to take a little unique picture of letting cow drink sake lees milk.
The sesame we received this time has a fragrance like amazake, but it looks and tastes. The point is that it has a sesame flavor, but it is not too persistent and easy to drink. It feels like an elegant black sesame pudding has become a drink, and it's just "drinking sweets"! Matcha, sesame, and kinako sweets are recommended to have them iced to enjoy their respective flavors.
■Official LINE As I introduced last time, seasonal information is also available on the official LINE. Now I'm giving this can badge to those who have registered as friends.
Those who thought, "Ah, can badge!" Actually, there is a fact that it is a can badge or a can badge. This can badge is a souvenir that I handed out at an event to attract the general public about 20 years ago when Tsukiji Market was still a professional purchase place. Would you like to have a little rare feeling?
Also, I'm surprised that Ryoko Yonekura was coming as a Kirin campaign girl at the event! This can badge will end as soon as it runs out, so if you are worried, please contact us as soon as possible. (The Tsukiji mark in the design of the can badge is also listed on the entire Tsukiji Outer Market Map.)
■Finally appeared on TV programs Mr. TSUKIJI DELI, who has been featured in newspapers, radio, and online news. It seems that it will finally appear on TV programs, and details are as follows. Wednesday, January 30, 2019 20: 15-20: 43 Exploring Bakumon (NHK)
If you have time, please check it out!
TSUKIJI DELI, where interesting ideas and initiatives shine, has a feeling of excitement that makes me want to come again. I'm looking forward to future progress and keep an eye on it. Please refer to this article for access and business hours. For inquiries, please contact us at 03-6264-0063.
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. Do you have anything to look at when you walk around the town? I think there are various shops where you can line up, show windows, roadside flowers, passersby, etc. In addition to the water outlets (Part 1 and Part 2), which I talked about before, I would like to talk about. You will also see the reference points (especially triangular points and benchmarks) used for map creation and surveying. Some climbers may have seen a triangular point at the summit.
Among the many triangular points and benchmarks in the whole country, I particularly like it. It's called a punctuality standard! The number of these benchmarks is limited even when viewed throughout Japan, and remains biased toward large cities. The feature is a mark similar to the kanji character "No". Unlike ordinary benchmarks, there is no easy-to-understand indication that this is a benchmark. It's a mysterious mark known to those who know quietly exist in unexpected places.
In the exhibition on the sluice gates by supporters of the local Tenmonkan at Time Dome Akashi, the event was held. This meticulous level is also introduced. In this blog, senior correspondents Jute and Akira Makibuchi / Sai Sharaku were also featured. In Chuo-ku, there is one meticulous level point and one place related to it. This time, I would like to introduce some examples that can be seen outside the ward.
■Encounter with meticulous standards and mysterious relationships The kindness of a resident of U.K. to take me to an old church.... I found a mysterious "non" mark engraved on the outer wall. At first, I thought it was a mischief or something like a stone wall stamp in Japan, so I didn't care about it, but the more I visited historic sites, the more I saw it, the more I saw it. I began to wonder if this had any meaning.
About a year later, when I started volunteering at a cathedral in a city registered in World Heritage, I started a volunteer guide. Coincidentally, I found the same mark that is quietly engraved under the door of the church! Suddenly, when I checked with the volunteer leader, the identity of the mysterious mark was confirmed. I understand that this is a meticulous level in Japan.
(Upper: punctuality of encounters, lower: punctuality of volunteer destinations)
■Tour of meticulous and triangular points in U.K. Since then, I have started walking by taking pictures of meticulous level and triangular points, like collecting stamps and commemorative coins. Historic buildings is only marked with a mark. I realized that a numbered plate (called Flush Bracket locally) has been installed on the top of new buildings and mountains and hills. I came to know that OSBM on the plate is an abbreviation for Ordnance Survey Bench Mark (British Land Surveying Department benchmark).
■Critical Levels in Japan After returning to Japan, I heard that Japan has a low level of this type. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a business trip, the first place I headed was Osaka Castle. I was sorry that I was half hidden, but I was able to find it safely.
Next, I would like to see an example in Tokyo, a flat stone near the Shinji Pond in Hibiya Park. I went to see what is engraved on Eboshiishi and what remains in the Imperial Palace.
■Meticulous level in Chuo-ku Although the introductory has become longer, there is one point left in Chuo-ku, so the destination we headed.... Ichiishibashi lost stone marker built in 1857 (1857) *! (* How to remember the Hanes style: dislike (18), this (5) Nana (7) lost child. I'm relieved (Ansei) (4). It can be found here.
It is engraved quietly at the bottom, so check it out when you go nearby.
According to the exhibition commentary by Time Dome Akashi, English-style inch was adopted as the benchmark in the early Meiji era. It is said that the horizontal bar attached a "non"-shaped meticulous level point indicating the altitude to stone pillars, signposts, lanterns, torii, etc. Later, the surveying business shifted to a German style, and in 1891, "Rei Kishi Shimashin Point / Crossing" (meaning intersection No. 0 on the standard route) was established.
The one near Chuo-ohashi Bridge is said to have been relocated in 2006.
In this way, in Chuo-ku, we can follow a part of the history of development of benchmarks.
■For those who are interested in punctuality. At an event hosted by the Geographical Survey Institute, which is held before and after the survey day (June 3). The Japanese standard on the site of the Kensei Memorial Hall (the site of the Land Survey Department) will be open to the public. It is a valuable opportunity to see what is the standard of height in Japan up close.
There are some interesting stories that can only be heard at this event. If you are interested in the standard, please come and visit us. You may deepen your understanding of the implications in the city.
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. Suddenly, is anyone watching NHK Taiga drama series? In the first installment of "Idaten-Tokyo Olimpic Story-", which has just begun. Places related to Chuo-ku, such as Nihonbashi, have also appeared?
Photographed when washing the bridge.
I'm a major in world history, but there's Taiga drama series that I've done it twice in the past. These are "Koname is Tsuji" and "Onna castle owner Naotora". In particular, I got into the latter without knowing it. I went to Shizuoka and Gunma prefectures to see places related to the Ii family.
The Ii family is also depicted in the famous Sekigahara Battle Screen. Isn't it a girder with a replacement pattern indicating the "well" of the well? In addition, the tachibana found in the regular crest is also famous. I noticed that a emblem combining such a girder and a similar tachibana could be found everywhere in Minobubetsuin, and I was worried, "Is there a connection with the Ii family?" .
The first thing I found was that the emblem of Tachibana on the Igirder is the temple crest of Nichiren sect.
Looking back at the photos at the time of the visit, you can see that the temple crests are arranged in various places, from offertory box to tiles.
And it is the origin of the temple crest that is worrisome, but there are various theories. A relatively well-known theory is that the fifth ancestor of Nichiren Shonin came from the Ii family. The other theory is the combination of the girder and the tachibana, which is said to have been loved by the saints, after the spring that rose upon the birth of Nichiren Shonin. I can't say which origin is correct here, but I find unexpected connections with the Ii family in unexpected places. I reconfirmed that "the emblem is still interesting."
Well, I've introduced you to Minobubetsuin's oiling Daikokuten and temple crest twice, how was it? If you are visiting the Seven Lucky Gods or like history, I would be grateful if you could think "I want to go once."
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. The other day, when I took a walk in Kodemmacho, I stopped by Minobu Betsuin. The Nichiren Shonin seated statue (Tangible Cultural Property designated by Tokyo) whose eyes are made of crystals is famous. Actually, there are a lot of other interesting things. Therefore, I would like to introduce the charm of Minobu Betsuin, which makes you want to stop by in two separate sessions.
This time, I'll cover "Daikokuten Oil Spilling". At the Flower Festival, sweet tea is poured into Historical Buddha, and you are here in Daikokuten, where you can oil anytime throughout the year.... I was worried about it, and looked it up
[I say] ※There are various theories. In Fushimi, Kyoto, there is a town called "Aburake Town", which in the past, an oil merchant accidentally poured oil on a stone statue on the roadside. Since then, there has been a legend that business has prospered greatly. Mrs. Shige of Showa's famous actor Kazuo Hasegawa from Fushimi is deeply dependent on Shinto and Buddha. Shortly after the war, I accidentally dreamed of this oiled Tenjin as a dream. I was told by patron saint of academics that I would worship in Tokyo and connect with many people. head priest Nichijo Fujii of Minobu Betsuin at the time. I decided to worship at Minobu Betsuin.
[Losss] Prosperity of business, good luck, safe delivery
There are not many shrines and temples that worship the oiled Daikokuten even when viewed nationwide. When you come near, why don't you pray for Daikokuten with oil?

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. During the New Year holidays, I went to Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city in Chuo-ku. When it comes to Higashine City, it's still "snow" and "cherries"! This time, focusing on the two, we will introduce the exchange between Chuo-ku and Higashine City.
The opportunity for the exchange between these two cities goes back to 1988. Higashine City learned that the city is promoting greening at a cherry exhibition held in Chuo-ku. On June 14, we donated a cherry Wakagi with red fruits.
On the day of the event, in the fine weather, with the attendance of many mayors including Mayor Yada and Mayor Nasu Higashine, representatives of the ward assembly, cherry daughter (Mis Higashine), local town council officials, and children from Kyobashi Kindergarten attended. A tree-planting ceremony was held at Kameibashi Park (on the west highway of the ward office), and after the ceremony, the cherry daughter handed freshly picked cherries to children and those who were watching the tree planting. You can see the situation at that time on the YouTube channel of Chuo-ku government office.
(16 minutes and 56 seconds-: The state of the "Cherry Donation Ceremony" at Kameibashi Park is recorded.)
Higashine City donated 15 cherry trees. To thank you, in 1989, we gave 25 willows, including a willow that was 6m long on the sidewalk of Ginza 2-chome in Chuo-ku.
There are now six willows in Ginza in front of the city hall government building at Higashine City Hall and 13 in the adjacent "Citizen's Square".
(The willows in Ginza seen in the shadow also have a taste.)
Here's one of them! In winter, even in Higashine City, where there is always snow, it grew robustly.
If you look at the base, you will find a monument buried in snow! It is engraved with "Ginza's willow Government Building Completion Commemorative Tree Planting Donation" August 18, 1989, Chuo-ku, Tokyo". Over 30 years in Higashine City...Even if you leave your hometown, if you look at the cheerful willow in Ginza, you will get mysterious and energetic.
I want to go to see you again when you have lush leaves and cool in the wind.
Also, as you can see from the photos, there is quite a lot of snow in Higashine City. Chuo-ku does not have much connection with snow, but once every two years snow is carried from Higashine City. "Chuo-ku Snow Festival" is being held.
Mayor Higashine's New Year's message states, "At the Chuo-ku Snow Festival held in February this year, along with the gift of 200 tons of snow, the taste of the city's winter, such as potato boiled and tamakonjac. I will prepare it. " I'm very excited from now on. In 1989, when the exchange through this snow began, the Nihonbashi Snow Festival was held as a gift for 10 heavy-duty trucks. It is said that about 1,300 children gathered. Therefore, isn't the "Chuo-ku Snow Festival" a winter event that can not be overlooked especially for those with children?
And in June, the annual “Cherry Seed Flying Tournament” was also held. I think that the characteristics and goodness of Higashine City have deepened exchanges and have become known to more people. .
In addition, special products of Higashine City may be sold at events held in Chuo-ku. I can't keep an eye on the exchange with Higashine City again this year.
Why don't you visit Higashine City, which can be enjoyed both in the snowy season and in the cherry season?

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. When you hear the Tohoku region, do you think of any relevance to Chuo-ku? After all, many people think of Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city. This time, apart from Higashine City, we will introduce places related to the historic sites of Chuo-ku that I found when visiting the Tohoku region.
[Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture x Tsukuda] Kaikaikan Kaikaikan, a Kappo cuisine inn where cultural figures from the Meiji and Taisho eras stayed. It was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake, and now only information boards remain in Tsukuda. In fact, the building of this ryokan was relocated from Sendai City. At that time, it was a scenic and quiet place with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay. It is said that Toson Shimazaki, Kaoru Osanai, Mokutaro Kinoshita, Rofu Miki, Isamu Yoshii, Manjiro Kubota, Yumeji Takehisa, and Ginnosuke Nisutsu also visited.
(I'm sorry for the evening photo.)
[Yamagata Prefecture x Nihonbashi Honmachi] Mt. Haguro At the beginning of the Edo period, the benevolent bamboo became the lower daughter of the Sakuma family in Otemmacho. One day, the conductor of Mt. Haguro in Dewa told him that he was an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai. Later, it is said that many people in the city who heard the story came to worship.
There is a stone monument called "Otake Dainichi Nyoraiido Ruins" at the site of the well she used now.
[Nakoso, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture x Nihonbashikabutocho] Yoshiie Minamotono During the Heian period, Yoshiie Minamotono headed for the attack on Oshu, suffered a storm near the current armor bridge. When I threw a piece of armor into the sea and prayed to Ryujin, I was able to cross safely.
(Currently, there is an information board for the remains of armor.)
You can see the Yoshiya appearing here at Nakoso Seki and Nakoso Station in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.
Photographed at Nakoso Seki. I'm sorry to rude again with the night picture.
On the monument at Nakoso no Seki, it is engraved that "the Heian period is nearing the end of the Gosannen War, the Mutsu Mamoru Genyoshi will go here on the way down to Oshu for its peace." Then, just as we approached Nakoso, Yoshie stopped pieces and wrote such a phrase on the cherry blossoms flying on the warlord's iron clothing as if we had the spring to go. "Is yamazakura?" ("Senjo Wakashu") Bulse: It's Nakoso's Seki, named "I'm coming," so I don't think there's a blowing wind, but yamazakura's flowers are scattered enough to block the road.
Photographed at Nakoso Station.
Some of the historical sites in Chuo-ku are linked to Tohoku and all over the country. You can also think about history by connecting historical sites while traveling. And when I find a connection with my hometown, I'm sure it's not the only one who makes it even more fun to see historic sites.
There are some signboards that are not very noticeable and tend to spend time. When walking around the town, be sure to check the information boards of these historic sites.
