"Yonajo Fukina Yokokushi" is a popular performance of Kabuki, commonly known as "Otomi Yosaburo" and "Kirire Yozo". Recently, Kabukiza Sayonara performed last January, "Yosaburo / Tomi" Many people have seen it performed at "Somegoro / Fukusuke". This kyogen was based on the true story of Izaburo Yoshimura, the fourth generation of Nagauta, based on a lecture by Bunsha Ichiryusai, and was adapted to Kabuki Kyogen by Joko Segawa. The premiere is a feature-length feature of 9 acts and 30 places in 1853 (Edo Nakamuraza, 8th Danjuro, 5th Kikugoro), but now the second act `` Kisarazu Hamabemisome '' fourth act `` Genji store concubine house '' Most of the performances are performed.

The stage of the fourth act of "Genji Store", which began with a well-known line of "Goshinzo, Ouchigi, wealth, no Saotomi, it's been a long time" was the stage of this "Genji Store" . At that time, Genji's store was famous as a concubine residential area in Edo, and with that, "Genji" was replaced by "Genji". → It was replaced with "Genji" and moved to Kamakura to make it "Genji store".

The Genji store is near the current Ningyocho 3-chome intersection, and there is a historical monument in front of the drugstore next to the Mitsubishi UFJ Bank at the intersection. According to the explanation board set up under the name of the Chuo-ku Board of Education

"In the early Edo period, this area around Shinwa Izumicho was called "Genji-ten" because there was a worship house of Genya Okamoto, a doctor of the Shogunate. According to the Kanpo gu ticket map, the worship house is "60 Omotekyoma back, 25 Kyoma, 1,500 tsubo". It is reported that descendants lived here for nine generations after that, and repatriated the land during the Meiji Restoration. "Omitted."

As you know, "stores" are rented houses. Genji, who became famous for treating the pox of Iemitsu and became famous, was a worship house (wide! I built a rented house in a rented house and rented it to the common people, so "Genji Store (Genji's rented house)"

After that, it seems to have become a common name for the whole area. Behind the Mitsubishi UFI Bank, "Tachibana Inari Shrine" (a gift from the Shogun family and took the name of Tachibana, the family crest of the Okamoto family. It is said that it is worshiped as a god of fire protection), there is the site of the former Suehirotei, and the three-star Michelin "Genji store Hamada family" is also nearby. It is a narrow area one block from the intersection, but why don't you go back a little and play in the world of Kabuki? The wealth of bathing with a red bran bag with a red bran bag and a snake's eye umbrella may appear in the background of "Smart Black Fence, Overlooking pine".

By the way, "virginan fukina Yokokushi" (Otogo no Mikina no Yokogushi) commonly known as "Kiri-Otomi" is a rewritten Kyogen (parody) written by Avenge Ami to Mizedanosuke, and his wealth is in love with Yosaburo (34 places in Yosaburo, 75 hands in wealth), and "I'm sorry for a long time. Recently, in May 2015, the Progress Theater performed at the National Theater. I've missed this. I'm sorry! 

After a typhoon, the heat has come back again. By the way, did you know that July 25 is "Shaved Ice Day"?

It is said that it was set by the Japan Shaved Ice Association as a day suitable for eating shaved ice in 1933, following the record of Japan's highest record of 40.8 degrees C at that time in Yamagata City. In addition, shaved ice is also called "summer ice" (Natsugoori), so it is said that it also talks with "7" and "25". After that, on August 16, 2007, it was 40.9 degrees C in Kumagaya City and Tajimi City, and the record was broken for the first time in 74 years.

That's why today we went to Matsuzaki Senmochi for shaved ice. According to the store's guidance, Matsuzaki Senmochi is a long-established store that has been relocated from Uoranzaka to Ginza in the first year of Keio (1865) for more than 200 years. On the first floor along Namiki-dori St., there are a lot of familiar rice crackers. The tea ceremony is located on the 2nd floor and is a favorite place for wives on the way home from shopping. I entered after 16:00 on weekdays, but it was almost full. Looking at the next kuzu mochi set sideways, don't hesitate today to enjoy "Uji Kintoki" (1050 yen). You can also topped with white balls and milk (+100 yen each).

I'm here. I'm here. This shaved ice is served on a pottery plate with a smooth ice so that you can see the thin and thin traces of it. The feel of melting in your mouth makes you feel "summer". Last week, I had a lot of ice at a shop in Osaka, and I felt sorry for me who love shaved ice.

Come on to the core of your head with shaved ice!

There's something that attracts your eyes in front of the cashier. Small white conchs and marbles are in the glass. The appearance that brings a little coolness is wonderful. I took a picture and received a discount ticket valid until the end of September.

I found the perfect phrase for this time in my chronology.

"One day of youth has passed and ice water" (Ueda 5,000 stones)

July 21st is the day of the ox. It is a famous story that Gennai Hiraga played a role in the establishment of "Ox Day and eel of the earth", but do you know how "Ox Day of the earth" is decided?

Doyo is the 18 days before spring, summer, fall, and winter, and the day of the ox during that period is called "Doyo Ox Day". (It's not only summer.) Therefore, depending on the year, there may be two Ox days during the earth, and this year's earth entry is July 20, so "Nino Ox" will be August 2 .

"I picked up Takebatei on" Ox Day "and it's not a story of eel! "It seems that Tsukkomi is likely to enter, but Takebatei is one of the long-established long-established stores founded in the late Edo period. "Unagi" is too famous, so I don't think I need to mention it now, and today I'll introduce "Taichazuke".

This is also a very popular menu along with eel. I had lunch from time to time when I was a worker. According to the information of the shop, this "Taichazuke" has long been popular with literary ink customers. It seems that it often appears in Kafu Nagai's "Shokutei Nijo".

Lunch time, which usually has a long line, can be easily put in due to the rain, and immediately pickle taicha. Sashimi-sized sea bream with sesame sauce and condiment wasabi and green onions, freshly cooked rice in a chest, and hot tea in sesame in a mortar is brought. I received a sashimi with 1 or 2 slices of sesame sauce, but the neighbor immediately started making ochazuke. I don't know. ・That's why I'll have 2 meals as a result.

The dessert is my favorite "Tofu Ice" (420 yen). I don't have a photo because the battery of the digital camera is gone. Don't be wrong. It is especially recommended for hot days when appetite drops.

 Hot days continue. Just after the rainy season has just begun, the full-fledged heat is about to begin, but many people may have a little summer batter. How about a delicious and healthy "Yakuzen Chinese" for such people?

"Yakuzen" originally seemed to mean "serving decoction" in China, and "Chinese cuisine using Chinese herbal medicine ingredients like today. It is not that old that it was generally recognized as something born from the idea of the same source of medical food in China as a diet for maintaining health (Daiji Izumi) using the word "Yakuzen" It seems that "Hoshifuku" (Shinho), which opened in Ginza in 1985, is the first. The chef at this time was Chef Rei, the owner of this restaurant. Today, Reika is the third year since it moved to the 7th floor of the building at the Miharabashi intersection overlooking the renovated Kabukiza Theater.

Today's lunch medicinal course (3,150 yen)

The six dishes consist of 4 kinds of appetizers, medicinal soup, steamed tofu Yang sauce, shrimp rice paper fried (with avocado sauce), Chinese porridge, or Chinese soba, apricot tofu

"Medicinal Soup" is a chicken that is cooked over time with chicken, shiraki ears, octopus, jujube, and lily herbal medicine, and a winter melon containing plenty of this flavor will loosen in your mouth.

Steamed tofu with crabs are served with sauces derived from two types of Yin Yang and Yang five lines, spinach and crab eggs. It seems that a balanced combination of warm and cool things keeps the human body healthy.

The dessert is a soft almond tofu that has been popular since the Hoshifuku era. The two flavors of sesame and matcha are exquisite. I miss that I wanted to eat this almond tofu, which was unusual at the time, and went to Hoshifuku's lunch.

By the time I finished eating dessert, I feel happy as if I had a summer dullness. Indeed, the theme of Reika, "Kenmi Fukuju" (a happy dish with a smile involuntarily. Healthy food that makes you healthy and beautiful.

By the way, the word "medicine food source" associated with Chinese medicinal dishes is a coined by Dr. Hirohisa Arai in 1972, and it is said that China is now reimported and used by China. I recommend it for the full-fledged heat.

Ebizo Ichikawa, who had been modest since last year's "incident", returned to the stage for the first time in nine months, seems to be more social news than the Kabuki world in July.

That's why I'm still in a state of jet lag, and I went to noon on the 8th. The companion was an enthusiastic fan who followed the performance in London in Paris. I'm afraid I can't help but feel calm. "It's okay because the first day is open," said the outfield irresponsible. After all, the day part is sold out shortly after release! It's a great success. There are also many celebrities seen on TV in the audience. There is no doubt that it is one of the actors that "customers can call" in a box office, although there is a topicality. And when you stand on the stage, you can see "Hana" and "Aura". The Tale of Genji, a Kabukiza Theater in 2000 during the Shinnosuke era, still remembers the staggering and sweeping up in the audience for unintentionally when he appeared on stage.

The performance of the return stage is Togashi of "Kanjincho" since the Ebizo attack performance in Tokyo. It means "go back to the beginning and start again." Benkei is Danjuro and Yoshitsune is Umetama. Among the Nagauta members behind the stage, the Tachiuta Misaho is next to Mitaro of the Tateshamisen next to Mitaro of the Tateshamisen, and it seems that it is the 18th Nagaishi Ichikawa Muneya. When the five-colored banners are rolled up and Togashi appears, applause is just broken in the hall. "Waiting" fans' applause was warm. I heard a whispering voice saying, "I'm a little thin." Even so, I really sigh in the appearance of Nishiki-e. First of all, the curtain went down safely.

The daytime section is "Torii-mae" and "Yang Gui-hime", and the nighttime section is "Yoshie Kotobuki Soga", "Shunko Kagami Lion", and "Edo Yuei".
