[Silver] Nov. 17, 2017 09:00

 Yes, the place is Nihonbashi. 

Nihonbashi Toyamakan is located very close to the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building and Daiei Fudosan, and close to the square on the road front.

On the first floor, a number of crafts and folk crafts that Toyama Prefecture is proud of are exhibited and sold.

Today, in the square of "Nihonbashi Road Mark" which came to Nihonbashi from Kanda.

"I'm a little thirsty. Would you like to drink sake? "A wonderful sister, Masaji, and the other four, who responded to my suggestion, went to Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

 

 I've visited several times, but this is my first time to drink sake here.

I felt like the "Sugitama" that young sake was made and informed that it had arrived.

 Delicious sake made from the clear stream water of the Kurobe River and delicious rice from Toyama are available.

My husbands (sorezore) look at the labels such as Ginme and daiginjo, and are wondering which one to drink.

This is the correct and (&) fun process of "handi sake". Everyone was convinced and impressed by the sake they ordered.

At the end of Nihonbashi, I stopped and took a break. Enjoy the sake of good sake and relax in Nihonbashi.

[Silver] Nov. 13, 2017 14:00

 The information center of Tsukiji Honganji was completed on November 8th.

Every day, a lot of believers stop by before and after the visit.

It was directly connected to Exit 1 of Tokyo Metro Tsukiji Station to make it convenient to return home from the center. 

In collaboration with Tokyo Metro, I'm really happy to take care of getting out of the ticket gate at Tsukiji Station, getting up by elevator, and getting back and forth with the information center in a wheelchair.

 

 In the information center, there is a terrace on the rooftop, so you can enjoy a good view.

It's exactly like "lighting" our bright path. 

 

At the "Honganji Edo Gobo 400 Years of Ayumi" exhibition, you can learn about the history of the construction of the current main hall after the Great Fire of the Meiryaku era in the Edo period, after the Meiji and Taisho Great Earthquakes.

Cored Muromachi 2 B1F DELI FLOOR ~ by Today

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2017 16:00

On the first basement floor of COREDO Muromachi 2, there are many restaurants that call "DELI FLOOR ~ by Today ~".

1509684047935.jpg

Today it's alone, so I decided to be a shop with a reasonable price, "Jun Chicken Nagoya Cochin Chicken Miwa Choledo Muromachi Store".

1509684692840.jpg

 Of course, the order is "Nagoya Cochin's Oyakodon" and ¥1296 including consumption tax. As expected, it was a crunchy natural wrinkle and chicken texture. I'm very satisfied.

 The restaurant area on the 2nd floor is also recommended, but I think that "~ DELI FLOOR ~ by Today ~" on the first basement floor is good for you to eat alone.

 

 

The panel under construction of Kuyasu Bridge is interesting to rest for a walk

[Silver] Nov. 9, 2017 12:00

 Walk from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. Toshin Yaezu Street for 300 meters, and you will see the familiar statue of Kirin.

Cross the pedestrian crossing to the south, see the monument of Jan Jooss Ten, which was set up to commemorate the first anniversary of the Declaration of Peace City, which stands out, and proceed in front of the Bridgestone Museum under construction. I will soon reach Kuyasu Bridge.

 

 Kuyasu Bridge was built in front of the residence of Matsudaira Ecchu Mamoru during the Edo period and was called "Ecchu Bridge", but in 1868 (1868), the name "Ecchu", a remnant of Edo shogunate, was named "Kuyasu Bridge". The name of "Kuyasubashi" is said to be due to the fact that there was a place of worship for Gosha Kuyasu in this area in the past. The current bridge is a reconstruction project following the Great Kanto Earthquake, and its construction was rebuilt in March 1930 along with the construction of Yaesu Street. 

 I will explain "Matsudaira Ecchu Mamoru Kamiyashiki", which was the basis of the name "Ecchu Bridge". 

Matsudaira Etsuchumori is the Matsudaira family of the Kuwana clan in late Tokugawa shogunate. The last feudal lord of the Kuwana Domain was Sadaaki Matsudaira and the younger brother of Katamori Matsudaira, the guardian of Kyoto, Aizu feudal lord. (One of the four Takasu brothers) 

 

 By the way, the building at the side of Kuyasu Bridge is under construction, and I felt that the panels surrounding it were excellent. There are about 12 panels in total, but in the Edo period, Nihonbashi and Kyobashi districts were towns where artisans lived.

1509672982894.jpg

 During the Edo period, many craftsmen lived in this area, and it is said that the name of the town was given from the work of the craftsmen. In the vicinity of the current Yaesu and Kyobashi, there are a variety of monozukuri craftsmen from artisan towns such as Ogamachi, Motozaimokucho and Minamidaikumachi, which handle construction materials, to Okemachi, Tatami-cho, and Guashi-cho, which handle the daily necessities of samurai and common people. It was a town where Takumi lives. " By the way, the place where the current Kyobashi Edgran is located was Tatami-cho in the Edo period, and the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center confirmed it.

 

From here, if you are taking a walk in the direction of Hatchobori, a panel explaining about Hatchobori concentric will be interesting.

1509672670659.jpg

 He said that his power was called "husband" and his wife was called "wife".

How about taking a walk with your husband and wife? There are two Japanese sweets shops on Suzuran Street, where you can also buy delicious souvenirs.

In front of Keika Square, you can see an explanation monument about Hatchobori's power and concentric mansion.

 

 By the way, when you go to Kameshima Bridge, you will find a monument about Basho's stone monument, Ino Tadataka and Sharaku Toshusai. On the opposite side of the bridge, there is an explanation monument that Yasubee Horibe lived.

The real thing is

Please take a look at these monuments and monuments at Kameshima Bridge.

 

 Also, the explanation about manners of hospitality was interesting.

1509672933996.jpg

 buddhist cuisine's takuan only gave out one piece (sufficient), three pieces (sufficient) and four pieces (sufficient), and the heart of hospitality was explained as manners. It's interesting to take part in the experiment.

 

 It's a refreshing autumn climate, so please have a pleasant walk.
