Rice lunch at Tsukiji Terrace

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 30, 2018 14:00

A while ago, I'm Tsukiji Terrace, a cafe dining room at Tsukiji 2-chome, which I introduced on this blog.

Facing Shin-ohashi-dori St., the seats on the second floor offer a panoramic view of Tsukiji Honganji across the street.

I visited lunch today again

I ordered a rice lunch

sangen201802.JPG

It's Sangen pork saute.

The thick fat is also delicious.

There is a salad, a drink bar, and you can drink coffee after meals, so it's a great deal.

By the way, Sangen pork is a first-generation hybrid pig that combines three types of pigs.

When I chewed, the sweetness of the pork spread in my mouth, and the homemade onion sauce was well matched.

On weekdays, it will be open from 8:00 in the morning, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, it will be open from 11:30 in the afternoon.

On weekdays, the morning menu is full.

This is also recommended for nighttime use when Tsukiji Honganji is lit up.

This year marks the 145th anniversary of the founding of Kappo cuisine.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 30, 2018 09:00

Last month, I used it at a meeting of the company where I work.

The history of Shintomi-cho since the Meiji era, as well as the deliciousness of the dishes and the well-being, is wonderful, so I will cover the day again and introduce it on this blog.

tekki201808.JPG

Founded in 1873.

It seems that this year marks the 145th anniversary of its founding.

tekki201807.JPG

The name of the shop is written as "Daikinro" and read as "Tekkinro".

tekki201809.JPG

This is a passage from the "Yueyanglou" of Hanchuen, a poet from North Soong Province, China.

"Long Smoke Ichiku Kozuki Chiri Floating Floating Fleet Shadow"

It seems that it was named after it

It seems that it was entrusted with the thought that it was a shop that served lively dishes, like the waves shining by light to the appearance of fish scales jumping golden.

Certainly, that thought was inherited, and at the meeting last month, the “simmered Kichiji” that was served was really delicious.

The hanging scroll of "Hyogo no Ma", tokonoma's "Yueyanglou" and its parts of "Daikin"

tekkin201823.JPG

By the way, this "Yueyanglou" is also famous for the so-called "Koraku" word in the latter part, "I am worried about the worries of the world first and enjoy the peace of the world later" (knowledge of the politician).

Yueyanglou is located on the northeastern shore of Lake Dongfeng in Hunan Province, China, and is a large scenic area with the Yangtze River to the north.

tekki201801.JPG

(1878 edition of "Akaiseki Betsushi Competition", Yoshitsuki Tsukioka, in the courtyard of Jinro)

The name of the shop is Tesshu Yamaoka.

Tesshu Yamaoka was one of the "Mifunes of late Tokugawa shogunate" and was a great man from late Tokugawa shogunate to Meiji, famous as a calligrapher, who led Edo Castle to bloodless opening.

tekki201802.JPG

(Business license at the time of 1895)

The shop is decorated with venerable items that tell its history, and at last month's meeting, we were able to hear those explanations from the landlady.

tekki201803.JPG

It seems that the restaurant was reputed so that it was selected as one of the ukiyo-e "Flowing 36 Kaiseki", a gourmet guide at the time, written in the late Meiji era.

The ukiyo-e is also displayed in the corridor of the shop, and is also used as a coaster of the shop, and was able to commemorate it (pictured below).

tekkin201831.JPG

During the war, it was impossible to continue business in itself, and it was said that he had been moved to Ogikubo, but after the war, he returned to the place of a quaint Japanese house surrounded by the current black fence. It seems to be in 1949.

After that, the extension and renovation were repeated, and it was said that it was reached now.

This building has been selected as one of the Top 100 Modern Building Surveys in Chuo-ku, and is introduced as "a black fence restaurant building that conveys the remnants of Shintomi's Hanayanagi world."

tekki201805.JPG

The parlor is used according to the number of customers, such as "Hall", "Rabbit", "Pinema", and "Hyoma". Each room has furnishings that make you feel the history.

tekkin201824.JPG

"Daikinro" (although the character of Yaku is different) which was also listed with the kaiseki dish number that appeared in 1898.

tekkin201821.jpg

On the first floor, there is a counter-type "Stando Kappo cuisine" separate from Kappo cuisine.

tekki201804.JPG

This is the Kappo cuisine restaurant of "History of Shintomicho itself" mentioned at the beginning.

You can feel the history just by passing in front of the shop.

Please drop in once.

tekki201810.JPG

Regarding this interview, the landlady Tokiko Kanoka (Tanioka) gave a polite and polite explanation. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Thank you very much

Seafood Izakaya (Uoyu) at the base of Kameshima Bridge

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 28, 2018 18:00

uoto201805.JPG

At Hatchobori 2-chome, the back of the shop is Uoyu, a seafood izakaya facing the Kamejima River.

uoto201806.JPG

Located at the base of Kameshima Bridge (this is the side facing the river)

uoto201809.JPG

It is an izakaya with a wonderful lineup of liquor that claims to be a "fish and locally brewed sake" shop, but the lunch menu is also substantial and we use it.

uoto201803.JPG

In today's daily menu, I ordered the recommended "Sanma salt grilled and sashimi set meal"

uoto201802.JPG

Sashimi is hachibiki (red mackerel) and kurodai, fresh and delicious.

In particular, Hachibiki was tasty with moderate fat.

uoto201804.JPG

Thanks to the news of bountiful catch this year, Sanma salt grilled is a seasonal taste that you want to taste many times during this season.

uoto201808.JPG

After the meal, I think you can take a walk around Hatchobori and Shinkawa while watching "Ginza's Yanagi Shisei" and "Matsuo Basho's stone monument" at the base of Kameshima Bridge.

At the venue, beautiful works depicting flowers in transparent watercolors are exhibited.

There are many works of flowers, such as pretty violas and roses in the middle of blooming cups, that make your feelings brighter just by being there.

kasiwa201806.JPG

Some of the works depicting the scenery of the local "Sakura Sobue no Oka" are also exhibited, depicting light, shadow, and the feeling of waterside air.

It is a watercolor painting exhibition that is gentle and healed.

congridae is swimming in the aquarium at the entrance.

At night, Japanese sake and shochu are the best for appetizers, Anako and handmade soba, but you can enjoy a casual soba lunch at lunchtime.

The crispy fluffy large Anakoten (in the photo, the upper half of Anakoten was cut), the hard soba, the scent of soba, and the very satisfying.

Happiness to eat both Anako and soba together

Red maple in Chuo-ku

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 25, 2018 14:00

Do you know the tree called "Toka maple"?

tokae201804.JPG

Like Sakura, dogwood and Salsberg, there is no impact that makes you feel the season during the flowering season, and there is no presence in the standing itself like willows.

tokae201803.JPG

However, in the list of street trees managed by Chuo-ku, it is ranked 5th.

Moreover, he won 5th place in dogwood and Salsberg.

tokae201802.jpg

Toka maple means "Tang Kaede" and means "maple from China".

It is said that deciduous tree is distributed in Taiwan, mainly in the Yangtze River basin of China.

It came to Japan during the Edo period and is now widely planted as street trees and park trees.

Among street trees (Takagi), it is said that it is the fifth largest in Japan in terms of the number of planted trees.

tokae201806.JPG

The bark is grayish-brown, the surface is backed and peeled vertically, and the leaves are shaped like a duck foot with water.

tokae201807.JPG

Autumn leaves or yellow leaves, and the fruits are thin film-shaped winged, ripen around October.

tokae201805.JPG

It seems that Toka maple is preferred as a street tree because it is strong regardless of the soil quality and is resistant to pollution, and even if it is not conspicuous, it supports our daily life as a "power under the edge" It seemed to be very reliable.
