I went to the nearest liquor store, Imada Shoten from grand shrine. "Shinkawa No. 1 Ship" was sold in Ichisho bottle.

I'm not confident that I could empty a bottle by myself, so when I looked for a sake of four bottles (720ml), I recommended a sake called "Sohana". In the Edo period, you can see the scenery where young sake arrived from above by barrel boat.

The explanation is as follows.

"Consecration Sake Komono barrel

 During the Edo period, Shinkawa prospered as a wholesaler of "downhill sake", which was introduced to Edo from the upper part of sake (sake), a famous brewery. Founded here in Kanei 2 (1625), Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine has been revered as a guardian deity for sake wholesalers and sake brewers. At that time, sake was packed in wooden barrels to Edo and transported by a special barrel boat, but it is said that the beginning of Komokan (Komo barrel) was wrapped around Komono to prevent damage to the barrel. You. In order to distinguish it from other brands, Komono was designed to represent the characteristics of each brand. The Komo barrels (Nito barrel = 36L) piled up here were donated by Keijinkai members who have been connected to Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine for many years, as well as religious breweries from all over the country. is. I would like to thank the people who consecrated us and wish that the industries responsible for the traditional food culture of Japan, including the alcoholic beverage industry, will be more and more prosperous.

On the website of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, you can see the picture of "Shinshuban Funae To Shinkawa Iritsuzu". http://shinkawadaijingu.or.jp/gallery/gallery1/shinshubanwsen/

 Next time, I will go to find the sake that is dedicated.

Kyobunkan Building and CAFE'Kyobunkan

[Silver] Nov. 18, 2018 14:00

 When I visited the "Joy of Life of Light and Shadow of Painter Seiji Fujishiro", I received a leaflet for information on "CAFE'Kyobunkan".

The explanation of the construction of the Kyobunkan Building is described as follows.

 "This Kyobunkan building is a retro building that was built in 1933. You can see the remnants of the architectural style of the time on the beams that became thick in triangles near the pillar. The café was designed with a plasterer technique called "polishing" on the white plaster wall while retaining its old appearance, and was designed with the wish of a relaxing place where two eras can meet lightly across space and space. "Soil" from all over Japan was used for "polishing". I hope you can slowly enjoy the natural colors of the soil collected from Okinawa, Niigata, Aichi and Awaji with coffee. ] It's a good idea.

 

Invited by the warm Koharu weather, I took a closer look at the building of Kyobunkan and went out to drink coffee.

This is a set of Japanese bunkan blend and cake.

We enjoyed the view of Ginza Chuo-dori from the counter seat on the window. I had a good time relaxing.

 The Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center, as the name implies, is located on the side of Nabashi and Nihonbashi.

A pleasant young lady will respond kindly with a smile. On this day, I decided to buy some long-established candy in Nihonbashi.

So, I found a clear file that can only be obtained here.

We reported that we recently took a walk from Toyosu Ohashi to Tsukiji Ohashi and Hamarikyu Gardens with the opening of the partial bypass of Route 2, but this clear file covers all the names of the bridges related to Nihonbashi River. I am. 

"Sumida River Mitsuhashi" is a must-have for a fun walk while watching Kachidokibashi, Eitai Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge, and the boats you meet, which are designated as important cultural properties. The Sumida River also enjoys a walk with Ginko.
