Recently, there has been a "shell" whirlwind in the ramen world.

The light soup of fish and shellfish is suitable for the recent healthy orientation.

Higashiginza's "Mugito Olive" is neat and fashionable inside the store, and olive oil is placed on the counter.

Even women can enjoy it easily.

But after all, if you say the shell system that Chuo-ku is proud of ...

Isn't it a clam ramen of "Yajiman" in Tsukiji Market!

 

The endorsement of my sister who was originally working in Tsukiji. But for me who has no eyes on sushi, can I come to the market and have no sushi? Then, the winter came without my feet facing in the middle of Yajiman ... It was finally the clam season. (Asari Ramen is a seasonal menu from April to November.)

 

There is "Yajiman" in the fish market Yokocho and Building 8.

A large line like Disneyland in "Sushi Bun" two houses away (laughs), wait a few minutes and sit down!

Of course, this is always full, but since it's ramen, it's good to rotate.

And a little bit of waiting, "Casari Ramen" came!

　

There's a big clam! The salty soup is transparent and light, and the gentle soup stock is good.

The noodles are thin and firm. The balance of green onions, leek, tree jellyfish, and bamboo shoots is also good.

So I remembered "Eat Yakisuri!" I was asking my sister, and after the ramen came, I rushed to "Jumbo Yakisuri"

I ordered it. According to the sister of the shop, "Source is recommended, but it's delicious even if it comes to mind."

One is to the sea of soup. ・It's delicious! It went well with the salty soup and enjoyed it like a water dumpling.

From now on, the season when clams become plump and delicious. Please try the shell ramen of Edo!

By the way, from November, a delicious "Oyster Ramen" will also appear.

By the time you can enjoy this, you've already moved to Toyosu.

It's lonely to leave from Chuo-ku, but I hope you will leave this "Yokocho" atmosphere.

Everybody, I'm a correspondent, Vickie. We look forward to seeing you again this year!

 

By the way, as I have already talked about last year, I went to listen to "Ninth" because of the end of the year ... However, it is not fashionable to the Suntory Hall, but to cultural center while visiting the museum.

 

I visited Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. The annual "Mitsukoshi Ninth" is held in the central hall on the first floor, and this is the 28th time this year.

 

2 performances from 12:30 and 14:30. When I arrived a little before 14:00 in line with the performance at 14:30 ... The seat was already filled. You can see how popular it is. But Vickie went to the third floor to shoot a wonderful whole picture. There is still room here, and get the best position in front! While waiting for about 30 minutes, a ladies of Mitsukoshi fans who came next to me (it seems that they come every year!) I have a fun conversation with you.♪

 

Well, this is the masterpiece of the chorus. It's Osako power that beats the statue of heavenly woman!

 

The chorus squad of over 200 people, including the wonderful soloists of soprano, alto, tenor and bus, is the Taito Ward Chorus.

 

In the meantime, the hall on the first floor was full of standing customers, and the balconies on each floor were filled with a large audience.

 

It was about 30 minutes to taste, but it is true that Mitsukoshi can enjoy such a wonderful ninth for free. We exchanged a wonderful greeting with a lady next door saying, "Let's meet here again next year," and we were able to finish 2012 with a very warm feeling!

 

 

 

 

 

On Sunday, July 22, which was unusually cool, the annual "Nihonbashi Washing" was held!

This is a plain but quite impressive event where local companies and children participate together and literally clean the bridge together. My workplace is also wearing a matching happi coat.♪

From Chibikko with deck brushes to adults, men and women of all ages is here and there, and fire brigade members discharge water from the pump car. It's quite easy to cooperate and the skill is good. As expected, Edo kid! It's so powerful.

 

This is the brave figure of the fire brigade members! Some of the little kids who were staring at the work around here all the time after washing the bridge. I don't have the opportunity to see such a scene up close.

 

Of course, this precious water uses reused water.

 

And after the bridge has become shiny, it's like this! At the same time, both Kitazume and Minamizume discharge water! This dynamic scene, everyone was crazy about taking pictures. At this time, the driver who was running on the highway noticed something ... (laughs)

 

In this way, Nihonbashi has become beautiful again this year. Even after 100 years, it is a symbol of this town where the affection of the local people is fully poured!

 

 

July 25 is "Day of Shaved Ice". It seems that it comes from the place where Natsugoori, a nickname for shaved ice, is spoken with 7,2,5!

Although it is a short period from today to July 31st (Tuesday), you can enjoy shaved ice of natural water from Nikko at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

The place where natural ice made by human hands in winter is stored until the summer shipping time is called "ice room", and it is said that there were nearly 100 houses in the early Showa era. However, due to the improvement of technology, the demand for natural ice has been reduced, and it has been affected by global warming and the destruction of the natural environment, and now there are only one in Chichibu and Karuizawa and three in Nikko.

Thin sectional shaved ice that can only be made with block ice, which is called "horny ice" unique to natural ice, is a fluffy mouthfeel than it looks. It has a soft texture!

The recommendation of the shop is "Tochiotome Strawberry". Of course, the strawberry syrup of Meijiya, which I always eat, is also delicious, but this Tochiotome strawberry has a gentle taste like a jam. I see, it goes well with natural ice!

For a limited time, it is a store opening in one corner under the Depa, but please take this opportunity to try it. You may not be satisfied with "Garigari-kun" anymore (that's delicious, but laugh)!

At the food collection on the first basement floor of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Building

Limited until July 31st (Tuesday).

This is "Tochiotome Strawberry" 840 yen.

 

 

 

When I bothered you before, "Cute! When I prepare a gift for an important person someday, I will definitely do this! "
This time, such an opportunity came to Ginza immediately!

Ginza Shiseido Parlour is known by all means.
Last spring, it was a shop that tasted the French toast of Ginza honey (laughs).

This time, I visited the food shop on the 1st floor.
There are many products full of Shiseido's style, such as sweets, wine and soups, as well as sweets. The inside of the store is decorated with a lot of seasonal patterns and Valentine gifts.

 

Today, the name is "Makiage Chocolat". Please take a look! The flower camellia of Shiseido motif is such a colorful chocolate!

It is beautifully displayed one by one, like jewelry or cosmetics. You can enjoy different flavors depending on the color, such as champagne, mango, yuzu lime, etc. The box containing 5 pieces is perfect for a small gift. The wrapping is also elegant like Ginza!

The flower camellia mark was born in Taisho 4 (1915).
The design was designed by Shinzo Fukuhara, the first president of Shiseido and a photographer.
Around this time, cafes opened in Ginza Brick Street one after another, and we were entering a gorgeous era with the scent of Taisho romance.

Even after 100 years, Hanatsubaki has been loved as such a wonderful chocolate ...
In considering the history of Ginza, I realized once again that the keyword "stylish" is inseparable after all.

This flower camellia chocolate is sold only at the Ginza main store. How about a Valentine gift for a wonderful man who understands "real fashion"?

Happy New Year, all of you! Please look forward to seeing you again this year.♪

 

Well, let's have a good topic from the New Year.

There was a connection, and I received Tenge Nihonbashi's "Bamboo Skin Wrapper Tendon".

Tenge is a tempura shop standing quietly behind the alleys of Nihonbashi、It's a venerable shop that has won one star at that Michelin!

It was founded in 1885. Even now, Mr. Okuda, the owner, is a trademark butterfly tie and stands at the landing every day.

This is "Bamboo skin wrapped Tendon". In the form of a good old Japanese "lunch box", there is a long-established style.

According to the accompanying explanation, during the Meiji and Taisho eras, the head of a nearby shop was enjoying this Tendon as a night eclipse. Well, let's have it!

As soon as the wrapping is opened, the scent of sesame oil spreads quickly!
"What is the inside like?" I wondered, but I see. There's a big hole tempura on it. Tentsuyu is soaked in the rice and it's delicious! You can feel the sense of unity that is wrapped in bamboo skin. In paper and plastic containers, I'm sure they don't wear this.

Surprisingly, this "Bamboo Skin Wrapper Tendon" is a registered trademark of Tenmoge (4782492). After all, the long-established stores are different in terms of the history, and it was very delicious!
