The original white taiyaki

[Satsuki Yanagi] October 28, 2009 09:30

・・・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Please associate with mewink

From amazake Yokocho, which requires "Yanagiya", one of the famous "Taiyaki Osanya" in Tokyo, opposite the Royal Park Hotel, on Suitengu Street (Ningyomachi Street), which leads to Suitengu Shrine, a new kind of sea bream yaki restaurant "Genso White Taiyaki Ochoya" was open.new

onagaya12.jpg onagaya4.jpg  onagaya11.jpg onagaya8.jpg onagaya10.jpg

The menu is not "white tayaki", but there is also "color tayaki" that matches the 'an' inside. In addition to the standard menu, two new autumn menus, "Mitarashian" and "Sweet potato ann", were joined! Also, although it is not on the menu, there was also "Matcha An"! !

I cameratook a picture of the place where it was baked. To borrow the words of people who are familiar with sea bream-yaki ... It is a so-called "culture" sea bream-kun, a type that bakes multiple animals at once.fish

clipBy the way, what is baked in one shape is called "natural products", "one-yaki", and "one-yaki".

I purchased "Black An", "Matcha An", "Mitarashian", and "Sweet Potato An". "Black bean" and "Matcha bean paste" wanted to taste freshly baked, so I had them wrapped in paper one by one and had them immediately.bleah

The photo shows "Mitarashian" and "Sweet potato ann".

onagaya7.jpg onagaya6.jpg onagaya2.jpg onagaya1.jpg

Photo left: "Mitarashian," right: This is the cross section of "Sweet Potato An".

The reason for the white skin is that it uses tapioca powder instead of normal flour.

Therefore, the outer part is like a light wafer, and the inside is moist like a rice cake.

"Matcha bean paste" was a mixture of green tea paste and red bean paste.

"Mitarashian" is a combination of a major late white bean paste, and "Sweet potato ann" is also a mixture of white bean and sweet potato paste.

There was 'an' up to the tail, all of which were more delicious than I had imagined (rude).happy01

If you are looking at the website, there are several types of "I want to cool down" ... ... Oh, if you say that Nihonbashi Suitengu store was also beside the entrance ... ... ... ... ...? ? ?

Reisai Festival of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine

[Satsuki Yanagi] 09:00 on October 22, 2009

Fine weather on Thursday, October 15sun

When I happened to visit Shinkawa's aunt and stay in the apartment where I live, I found Gagaku's unique Sankan Sanko = Sho: Sho (Hideki Togi is a professional and popular one!) Speaking of which, is it easy toflair imagine? Hichiriki: The dragon whistle: I heard the elegant sound of Ryuki =.

When I looked into the adjacent Masaru Shinkawa Shrine through the window, Reisai Festival was strictly taken by chief priest and black dressers.

If you have an invitation or something, you are attending and attending, so I can't go nearby ... Excuse me, mobilephonethe god of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, who took the picture from above (window of the apartment), please forgive me.

shinkawa9.jpgPrayer will begin from now on.

shinkawa7.jpg

  shinkawa6.jpg

The names of the people in the seats were called, worshiped in order, and were awarded bills.

  After that, I visited Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine in the evening and looked a little at the precincts. shinkawa2.jpg shinkawa3.jpg

Speaking of Shinkawa, during the Edo period, there was a canal that flows east and west in front of the current Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, and sake brewery was lined up on both banks.

The land was cleared by the Australian merchant who had a mansion in Shinkawa 1-chome: I hear it's Zuiken Kawamura. The sake that was packed in barrels from a sake brewery in Kansai and transported by waterway is called "downhill sake", and there is a place where you can drink a little at the entrance of the storehouse, and in the fall, the competition for ships carrying young sake the fastest in the fall.

I want to go to the banks of the Shinkawa River in the Edo period!

 shinkawa5.jpg shinkawa4.jpg

By the way, the names of famous sake brewing companies and soy sauce manufacturing companies from all over the country that I know were lined up on the bills of donors in the precincts. flair

shinkawa1.jpg

In Reisai Festival, direct meeting: It seems that they shout and clapping "Shinkawa tightening" ... "Yoiyoi Yoikora, Yoigohan Joe" and drink a large cup of sake with Naminami and sake.

earSpeaking sign01of hearing information, I heard from my aunt that the chairman of Kashimaya, a liquor wholesaler on the opposite side of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, serves asImperial Household Agency's original sake "Sohana" is a purveyor. Ashamed, it was the first brand I heard, but it seems that it is handled by "Imada Shoten" at the same Shinkawa 1-chome.

I couldn't find the websites of "Kashimaya" or "Imada Shoten", but "Imada Shoten" has a "tavern vaudeville"! I introduced the blog of those who went to this year's liquor store vaudeville. http://tsutomu3.com/09year/0330sakayayose/yose.html

I arrived 15 minutes before OPEN, so I thought, "I wonder if I'm going to go around a little for the Chuo-ku Tourism Association Blog somewhere and search for some information ..." When I looked at the shop ... 7-8 people were sitting on a chair prepared in front of the shop and waiting for the opening coldsweats02...
I also decided to wait in line at the end. At 11:30, I was guided to the seat in order with "Bonjornosun". The dishes on this day are ...

The secrets of Mitsukoshi

[Satsuki Yanagi] October 9, 2009 08:30

First of all, please take a look at the familiar Mitsukoshi mark.eyemitsukoshi1.jpg

This photo shows Japanese shop curtain, which was hung at several entrances to Nihonbashi Main Store during the 335th Anniversary of Mitsukoshi's founding festival held until early last month.

  In the Edo era, it is reminiscent of Surugacho Mitsui Echigoya (In the Mitsui Echigoya era, the three kanji used by the current Mitsui Group are a well-girder in a circle centered on the three kanji used by the current Mitsui Group ... ... ... ...) The feeling is wonderful and I made it unintentionally crispcamera.

  After that, I knew that "himitsu" is hidden so that the Mitsukoshi mark, which I always see at all times, is auspicious.flair

  It is said that odd numbers have been auspicious since ancient times in Japan, but when writing the Mitsukoshi mark cross character, the two places where the brush is splashed and the brush marks at the last point are "3" "5" and "seven" books.shine

  ・・・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Please note that this information has not been confirmed by Mr. Mitsukoshi, so if it is different, please be aware.
