Miya portable shrine (octagon) unveiled

[Catherine] July 28, 2011 08:30

Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine and Reisai Festival this year were affected by the impact of Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11.
The tour of Miya portable shrine will be postponed to next year.
This year, I've heard information about the announcement of the new Miya portable shrine (octagonal portable shrine) on July 24.

Since I was a child, I was really looking forward to the show because I participated in the festival with floats, children's portable shrine, and portable shrine in the town as an adult.
Departing from Tsukuda and passing through Nishinaka Shopping Street, I decided to see it from Sanchome Shopping Street.


Around 1 o'clock, it was about a holiday shopping street, such as people who came to eat Monja, probably because there was still about 30 minutes about the schedule of the 3-chome shopping street.

I came to see the truck a little later than the scheduled time.


I can't see it yet.

You can see that the phoenix shineshines brilliantly from a distance.
People have already gathered and the feeling of doing it now or now is suppressed and holding the camera and waiting.

When the figure appears in front of you

Voices such as "beautiful" and "spicy!"
That's the only thing, it's really beautiful! It was shining.

 

  The first octagon has been carefully protected for more than 170 years and has been passed down to the people.
I'm full of gratitude, "Thank you."


 

 

 

"Walking around the town" tour I went to Nihonbashi long-established course.

Nihonbashi Long-established course①

I was led by O umbrella, a correspondent of the tourist association, and visited a long-established Nihonbashi with the tour participants.


"Ninben," → "Eitaro Sohonho" → I went around "Yamamotoyama" in that order.

 

"Ninben,"

When I entered the shop, I breathed through my nose with the soft and gentle scent of bonito (laughs).
There is a familiarity with bonito flakes and mentsuyu, but the inside of the store has a lot of products and tension from the beginning.

I purchased "Ninben" Tsuyu's raw wet oysters. The texture was chewy and the taste of soy sauce was delicious, and it was full.
In addition, hand-rolled bonito introduced on TV was popular, and on this day it was out of stock and could not be purchased. I'm sorry.crying


"Eitaro Sohonho"

I have been familiar with the candy of "Eitarou Sohonho" since I was a child, and I especially like Umeboshi candy. I had a strong impression of candy.
I learned that "Kintsuba", which fills the stomach of people working on the fish shore of Edo Nihonbashi, began.

I bought a cool mizuyokan and Kuzusakura. It was delicious.

Mr. Yamamoto, Mr.

We were guided to a calm coffee room and received cold water sencha, hojicha (plastic bottle), seaweed crackers, and snack seaweed (2 types).


It was a hot day, so the mellow and refreshing water sencha was soaked. 


Nori rice crackers are luxuriously used, and the rice crackers were hidden by laver.
You want to eat rice crackers while enjoying the flavor of seaweed, so it's unique to Yamamotoyama.

Everyone who meets for the first time
Touching the history and taste of the long-established store, the face fell and everyone
was having a fun conversation with a smile.

I also enjoyed it. Thank you very much.



I felt even more on this tour that Nihonbashi is a fashionable town and a wonderful town that preserves tradition.

Why don't you join the tour?
