I went to work in the morning before going to work. Despite the broadcast from 6:00 in the morning, everyone who seems to be listeners gathers

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. The other day, I visited Izakaya Yaban, which I had been worried about for a long time.
This is an izakaya with a homely atmosphere with many regulars. Unlike others, there is a beer brewery that has only a few beers in Chuo-ku! In other words...It's a rare izakaya where you can enjoy local beer from Ginza.
24 years since it opened... In the history of Ginza, where new things always gather, we have firmly left a footprint. I want to go again! This time, I will tell you about the charm of Hachiban.
■Friendly Masters and Regulars Helping that you don't have the opportunity to go to an izakaya, is it okay to go alone? When you enter the store with such anxiety, you can see a regular chatting with a beer in one hand. Up to this point, it seems to be a common sight in any izakaya, but A friendly voice from the master who is also an exciting part of the game. It is unique to this place where even one person or a person who goes to the shop for the first time can get acquainted with nature.
■Furnishings of historical value The first thing that surprised me after sitting was that there was a piano even though it was an izakaya. If you talk to the master, it will be used for live performances! If you take this opportunity to look around the store, you can see the laser discs, models, mugs, and chests that are the treasures of the master. It's all precious now, and it's irresistible for me who like antiques. In addition, the tables and chairs in the store are made of wood, making it a space where you can feel some warmth. Isn't this exactly a place where you can relax and relax, not in a chain store?
■I don't know what will come out Another feature of hachiban is that there is no menu! I heard rumors, but I thought it was no doubt and checked the website of the shop. It says there is no menu there. According to what I heard, they offer dishes using fresh ingredients from that time. All the dishes are delicious, so you can enjoy them as if you were drawing lots without a splash. Every time you visit, you can have another dish, so I'd like to come again.
If you visit this izakaya, in addition to the exterior and interior, you can also enjoy Japanese food such as motsu stew and buri radish. I think you will receive the first impression of "The Japanese Izakaya". However, since the master went to France to train wine, he said. You can also taste fashionable European dishes. Roast pork, penne genobese, Kish Lorraine, aquapatzza, shoe crut, etc. All of them are dishes that you want to try once!
And from November, the annual offering of Anko-nabe will begin. It seems that fresh anko is purchased from Tsukiji (hereinafter Toyosu). While drinking local beer (all-you-can-drink) from Ginza, tap the Anko pot and taste it. If you want to have a year-end party, don't forget to make a reservation in advance.
■Local beer in Ginza The foreground was longer, but the local beer I received was Weitzen, a traditional German beer that uses more than 50% wheat sprouts. Ginza local beer made by the master over half a day at the attached brewery! Isn't it easy to drink even if you are not very good at bitter beer like me because it has little bitterness?
And one item that I didn't know what would come out was Tarako's dip! This is French bread, which is more delicious when chewed, and has a special tarako dip. There is something greenish in the dip, but its identity is raw green laver. The discerning dip, which is full of originality not found in other stores, goes well with bread.
■Correspondent's Listening Information Here you can get the malt used in beer brewing! It seems that the malt received this time was used to prepare Vaiszen on that day. It was still warm when I asked you to pick it up at 20. If you want malt, please check the schedule by phone or shop. (※ Limited to those who can go to the site.)
I tried to make a malt floor (a stylish version of bran pickles) with the long-awaited malt. Rather than smelling hands like rice bran, rather a good scent! Immediately, I picked the end summer vegetables (eggplant and cucumber) mainly.
Stirring the malt a few days... It was an elegant finish with a slight aroma and taste of wheat! Very rare malt pickles can be easily pickled, so why not try them once?
However, in fact, many people say, "I like pickles, but I don't like pickles because it's troublesome to pick them yourself." For such people, I would like to recommend malt soy milk coffee. There is no need to stir like pickles every day, making it very easy. Simply put an appropriate amount of malt, soy milk, and coffee (powder or instant) in a pot, warm and filter! If you don't have a French press, you can use a filter or a fine-grained item.
Malt with more versatility than expected... It contains vitamin B1, vitamin B2, folic acid, vitamin E, etc. It is also nice to have high nutritional value, such as recovery from fatigue, improving immunity, and preventing arteriosclerosis. In addition, if you are in a vegetable garden, you can also use it as fertilizer.
At Izakaya Hachiban, you can enjoy local beer, and get along with the shops and regulars. You can get souvenirs of malt (advance notice required), etc. If you haven't tried local beer in Ginza yet, why not visit it?
Store Information Izakaya Hachiban Address: 2-14-9, Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Business hours From Monday to Friday 17:30 to 23:00 Regular holidays: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays An introduction video that shows the goodness (a sound will come out, so be careful when playing) :

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. Have you been to Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C. New Building, a hot spot opened on the 25th of last month? It is unusual for a commercial facility, and there is a shop that opens at 7:30 in the morning on weekdays. Many of them have a large selection of menus that can be taken out for breakfast and lunch. This is a great point for people working in and around Nihonbashi.
That's why I stopped by before going to work for lunch. About 10 people waited for the opening at the entrance of the ground floor, but I got the impression that there were few people waiting for the opening. When you enter the store, there are so many people who come from the basement directly connected to the station. Despite the fact that after 7:30, the first floor was crowded with many people at once, and some shops were lined up!
(The photo shows a fashionable cafe and street between the main building and the new building.)
This is the new building of Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C., which has many interesting shops. What I was worried about this time was a coppe bread sandwich called SOY TIME, which is limited to KINOKUNIYA entrée (Kinokuniya Entre) here. But it's not just a coppé bread sandwich!
Although it does not notice in appearance, nutritious soybeans are used. Currently, 2 types of side dishes and 3 types of sweets are sold. Sweets sandwiches use soy milk whipped cream. It seems that it has a rich texture but has a light texture!
And this soy meat coppé bread (gapao style) I bought.... At first glance, it looks like a sticky side dish bread, but soy meat is used instead of meat. (In the raw material label, it is written as "Stir-fried soybean processed basil flavor.") Soy Meat is a processed soybean food made from nutritious soybeans. It contains low lipids, high proteins, and even dietary fiber that is not found in meat, although it has a texture like eating meat.
Therefore, wouldn't it be satisfying for those who like meat? Even those who are busy with work and tend to skip breakfast. With this, you can buy it before going to work and take in protein well. This is a recommended coppé bread sandwich that I would like to recommend to colleagues of the same age!

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. With the "Tokyo Art Antique" held in April, I started to look around various galleries, but I gradually got the impression that many of them are easy to see and enter on the first floor facing the street. Of course, there are many exceptions, but I guess there are many opportunities to walk around the town and enter a shop that is noticeable? This time, I would like to introduce an interesting gallery on the upper floor of the building that is known to those who know it.
This is a store that deals with antique coins that have asset value for investors rather than for collectors. The gallery is easy to see even those who want to see valuable antique coins!
As a personal matter, one of my hobbies is collecting British distribution commemorative coins and antique coins (almost replicas, but some genuine). When I talk to my friends, it is often said that it is "astringent" or "maniac". However, the first Roman emperor Augstus, the French emperor Napoleon, And he was the founder of the Losschild family, Mair Amshell Roschild. The historical figures were actually collectors of antique coins. If you say that, would you be interested in antique coins?
During the visit in April, many ancient coins representing the history of cast money are displayed. I was impressed by seeing the money I saw in the textbook in front of me. This gallery has a very different atmosphere from ordinary art galleries. Antique coins There are plenty of commentary materials that are easy for beginners. I forgot the time and was able to read messages and propagandas engraved on small lumps of gold and silver.
The next gallery, which has only British commemorative coins (those at the time of throne or coronation), is now available. The atmosphere of the British Museum It is said that the interior is inspired by the large public bath of Karakara, which many people may know in the movie "Termae Romane".
The limited number of commemorative coins will usually only be used as a succession of assets in the noble family. It's a valuable substitute that you can't easily see. Such antique coins are more secure than investing elsewhere. In the last 10 years, it has been attracting attention in Japan, and the market is expanding. Even in Ginza, where overseas luxury brands are expanding, I was surprised that there was such a luxurious gallery!
Unfortunately, it's a price that I can't afford. As an antique coin enthusiast, it was very eye-catching.
In addition, seminars are held regularly for those who are interested in investing in antique coins. The British antique coins used at that time and the history reflected in them are described. They also showed me a video that was easy to understand. The symbols of flowers and animals inscribed in English coins show the composition of the country, the history of development, and the origin of the king. I was able to reconfirm that it was full of fun different from Japanese coins.
I would like to see antique coins in a luxurious space just like the British Museum.... This is a gallery in Ginza that is known to those who know it recommended for such people.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. In the continuation of the third and fourth excursion series, we will introduce the connection with Chuo-ku found in Shizuoka this time!
The leading role this time was not Ieyasu Tokugawa, but Tokasha 19, famous for Tokaido Naka-Kurige, not Ieyasu Tokugawa. Speaking of what kind of connection there is, there is a birthplace in Shizuoka and a grave in Chuo-ku. Just a short distance from the monument of the birthplace of Sunpu Ginza, which was introduced in the third installment. An information board has been set up to show the site of the Tokasha 19th Birthplace.
He is the eldest son of the town magistrate, and he is born in a samurai family. Also, since the place where he was born is 1-chome, currency exchange-cho. You can reconfirm the connection with Ginza, which was called Shin-Ryogaecho during the Edo period.
He went to Edo at the age of about 30, and at the age of 38, "Tokaido Naka-Kurige" was a big hit. Since then, he has made a living with a single writing brush and was called Japan's first professional writer! 19, who was versatile, such as being familiar with martial arts, died at the age of 67. Asakusa Toyoin, where he was buried, has now moved to Kachidoki in Chuo-ku.
On the right side of Toyo-in, there are 19 monuments and information boards written by Musei Tokugawa. The left side of the tombstone in the indoor cemetery is engraved with the following famous diction phrases. Goodbye to ashes with the smoke of incense stick Even though it's a resignation phrase, it's a 19-like style that wrote a humorous story.
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. I learned from an online news the other day that Yoshinoya No. 1 store in Tsukiji Market will end its 59-year history on October 6th. "I have to go once before moving to Toyosu!" I think that Yoshinoya will also move to Toyosu. I went to Yoshinoya No. 1 store in the morning.
■Open from 5:00 to 13:00 Yoshinoya is also a shop in the early morning like Tsukiji, and the first store is open from 5 o'clock, which is also nice for those who work in Tsukiji early in the morning. I'm the first to eat in Yoshinoya, so I can't compare it with other stores. Orders were as powerful as auctions, and the provision of beef bowls etc. was very skillful.
The regular says, "Large of Atama!" "Don't go on!" While ordering as I got used to saying, "I'm gonna do it!" Yoshinoya Beginner I ordered the smallest size beef bowl with help from a clerk! And it came out in a few seconds after ordering.
(I added ginger by myself.)
Gyudon, which can be said to be the source of power for Tsukiji, who works hard from the morning. When I picked up chopsticks from the chopstick holder* installed on the wall unique to the first store, I tried eating them. (* In the past, some people stand and eat without waiting for their seats to open, so even those people can get chopsticks.) The taste and service are good, easy, fast, as the shop's catchphrase suggests! In addition, there are many commitments to the first store, such as the color of the bowl related to the accounting. Please try to find the difference from other stores.
■The roots of Yoshinoya were in Chuo-ku! Yoshinoya has now become a nationwide chain store.... Opened in 1899 on the shore of the fish in Nihonbashi and moved to Tsukiji along with the fish shore after the Great Kanto Earthquake.... Actually, it's a shop with roots in Chuo-ku. For more information, please see the "Gyudon 100 Year Story" on the Yoshinoya official website.
At the Namishi Inari Shrine, which has a water bowl and a lion head of the ward's private folk cultural property, is located. There is also a monument about Yoshinoya's founding in Tsukiji. Why don't you check it out when you stop by Yoshinoya No. 1 store?
■Another "specialty" known to those who know it There are many specialties in Tsukiji, but I would like to take a look at them especially before moving. There is a "specialty" that makes you feel the uniqueness of Tsukiji more than enough. That's the found bulletin board next to the right of the police box at the main gate!
If you don't get in from the main gate of the market, you can't easily see this bulletin board. It is written out what the owner could not be found immediately. When I went to see it the other day, as expected, there was no fish drop. Frozen hamburger, mekabu soup, leaf green, and lost items unique to Tsukiji!
May the owner be found safely before moving to Toyosu...
■"Chuo-ku sightseeing certification" measures! In addition, there are two other spots that you want to check out at the market! Both are posted on the official text of the "Chuo-ku Tourism Test", so if you are planning to take the exam, please check it out.
The first is the birthplace of the Navy. In 1872, the Ministry of Navy was established on the site of Yuonen, a lower mansion of Sadanobu Matsudaira. Tsukiyama in the park where the Naval Sir flag is displayed is called Flag Mountain. Today, there is a stone monument commemorating the birthplace of the Navy, engraved with "Hagiyama".
The second is the site of the aforementioned Yuonen Garden! Sadanobu Matsudaira, who worshiped this land in 1792, was It seems that he built a famous garden with a spring breeze pond, an autumn breeze pond, and a artificial hill surrounding the pond.
The Tsukiji market was not only delicious, but also delicious. It is a very interesting place historically with the famous garden of the old man, the Ministry of Naval. According to a person who came to Tsukiji to buy fish in the morning, recently, when the relocation is approaching. It was said that three times the usual tourists came to Tsukiji. Don't forget that there are many people in the market. Please enjoy the atmosphere of Tsukiji, which is only a few remaining.
