Shokado in Kappo cuisine Nakajima-a long-established lunch

1. September 29, 2011 17:00

I found a glossy Akebi (Kidori) at a nearby supermarket. Did you sneak up to the next side in autumn without noticing in the harsh summer heat? It is the beginning of the last week of September, when autumn is dark. 。 What happened to be "something delicious" when it cools down?


I visited Mr. Nakajima from Ginza today. "Kappo cuisine Nakajima" is a long-established store that was founded in 1931 for 80 years, and is known as the first chef of the Lushan Jin Hoshigaoka Tea Dormitory (the founder of the Lushan Jin no Hoshigaoka Tea Dormitory) and is now the third generation.

This "Shokado" is a place where Nakajima can easily enjoy it.
3,150 yen is worth a price with seasonal Shokado Zen with sashimi, soup and dessert. Today, I went through a private room and enjoyed a relaxing and late lunch. Chrysanthemum is the one in the bowl of Yuba and Kyoimo, the combination of okura, and the pot of pots. I'm sorry to get it in a jewelry box that seems to be trapped in the season. It's a luxurious time that satisfies the sight and taste at the same time. The dessert is babaroa with figs and white miso.

It is recommended when you are thinking of a little elegant lunch in Ginza. When I was an employee. I remember that I was pleased when I introduced a female customer.



A stone monument that attracts your eyes at the entrance of the shop says "Yoze ..." (from now on Kannon Michi). I heard that it was originally on the Mt. Koya-san pilgrimage route. Why don't you take a step in meeting the taste of dishes that make use of fresh ingredients?

Relaxing place for bookstores-Ginza Kyobunkan-CAFE Kyobunkan

1. September 18, 2011 08:30

Internet bookstores are booming these days, but once a week we look at bookstores. Today we go to Ginza Kyobunkan. It's one of my favorite bookstores.
Kyobunkan is a publisher and bookstore of Christianity-related books founded in 1885. The current building is a building with an atmosphere in Ginza, which has a classic feeling that was designed by Antonin Raymond in 1933.


First, find a hot spring guide to travel at the magazine section on the 1st floor, and then go to the Japanese book section on the 2nd floor. Next to the new book, the "Now is Kuniko Mukoda" fair is being held. (Thirty years after his death) There is also a corner on the theme of seasonal current affairs, and I feel again that the bookstore is a space that shows the "condensed present (now)". It's one of the things you don't have in online bookstores. It's fun to look around the bookstore's shelf, so time has passed before I notice it. My legs and eyes are tired and I want to take a break. This cafe is perfect for such a break. To the counter seat by the window overlooking Ginza Street. Blend (480 yen) and cake (240 yen). While wrapped in the scent of coffee (the coffee here is ground after listening to the order) It is a time of blissful relaxation that you can see without reading the book you bought, turning around Ginza Street or seeing cars.

Considering the good location, it's strange that I've never met full. Coffee is delicious and the price is very conscientious in terms of location, and the clerk is calm and the atmosphere is good. It's a secret place.

It is recommended not only for reading the book you bought, but also for small meetings and meetings. (I don't want it to be too crowded, so I don't want it to be too famous.)

North and South America buns of the confectionery master Umekatei (formerly Reigishi Island)

1. September 9, 2011 08:30

On September 8th, one of the twenty-four season old calendar's "White Dew", it is said that "the autumn season will gradually join from this time", but the remaining heat seems to last for a while. However, it seems to be a little cooler in the morning and evening. ・・ ・ At this time, when the work is settled down and relieved, I still want the sweet taste. This time, we will introduce Japanese sweets that are perfect for relaxing tea time, matcha, green tea, black tea, and coffee.


100_0214.JPGThe confectionery shop "Umekatei" is a long-established store founded in Otemmacho in 1850 and is one of the Toto Norenkai member stores.
By the way, there are five "Japanese sweets" shops that belong to the Toto Goodwill Association, three of which are located in Chuo-ku.
Tomoe Mochizuki is the seventh generation. The founder created North and South America Manju, the first baked confectionery in Kaei 6 (1853), in which Japanese confectionery was baked in a pot like a current bread kettle. Folding became a very hot topic in the year when Perry arrived, and it was a big hit. The second generation created "Gong-yaki" (revived from 1998), the sixth generation devised "Umemonaka", and the "Buran Nishi Manju", which was baked with meringue on the skin with black bean paste.
The founder said that he was "a love of inherent new things and an unrivaled sweet thing." As a result, it is surprising that all of them are long-selling products that have continued to this day.


I had a bun in North and South America after a long time at three o'clock. I heard that it was "the prototype of chestnut bun", but it was good quality, good sweetness and good quality. "I want customers to enjoy a pleasant space" and "Elegance in common people" are the legends of the shop. While feeling the mystery that we can get sweets created in the late Edo period for nearly 160 years, and the weight of the continuation of long-established stores, I was reminded of the transition of history for a while.

North and South America buns, French Ransai buns, and gongs.

The bean paste is sandwiched on a thin skin as if it was pressed on a gong and baked.



Shinkawa 2-chome, where Meikatei is located, was formerly called Reigishima, and it is said that the name of the place was derived from the establishment of Reigonji Temple in the place where the Honorable Reikijin reclaimed the reed field in 1624. . Reigonji Temple spread by the great fire of the Meiryaku era (1657), and was later rebuilt in the current Shirakawa, Koto-ku in 1658. It is known that there are many graves of Sadanobu Matsudaira and Daimyo here. The historically venerable place names are becoming more and more difficult, and this "Rei Kishijima" is not present now, but for those who like history and era novels, Yasunaga-do of Hiroshige Utagawa's "53rd Tokaido" You may know that there was a residence in Zuiken Kawamura. It is said that Meikatei was closely related to the place name so that it was called "Speaking of Reigishi Island" at that time. I still saw that he was so particular that he was described as (formerly Reigishima) on the address of the shop.

I found that I was using the name "Reigishi Island" on my way home.

It seems to be a relatively new building called "Regishijima Disaster Prevention Center", but I was somewhat happy and took a picture.

There is also a monument to Yasubee Horibe in Chushingura across the Kameshima Bridge.



It is said that "Kiri Sansho" and "Kiri Rhygimo" made by Meikatei only during the time of Betara City in Otemmacho are one of Edo specialties. Let's come to see the smart landlady again at that time.

September Shimbashi Enbujo-Hideyama Festival-3rd generation Matagoro Nakamura's name performance

1. September 6, 2011 10:30

The performance hall in September is the annual “Hideyama Festival” in memory of the first Kichiemon Nakamura, but this year, Yoshiemon Yoshiemon was certified as a living national treasure, and Utanobu Nakamura, the third generation of Utanobu Nakamura, who returned to Harimaya Ichimon last year, The name of Matagoro Nakamura, the name of Tanetaro's fourth generation song as well as the congratulations on the first day. The night part on the fifth day I saw was also full.

In front of the Seki barrel at the entrance of the theater, enter the person in charge wearing a half coat with the name of "Mata Goro Attack".


                          100_0203.JPG


The commemorative lunch box (1800 yen) I was looking forward to was sold out in silence in front of me! I just took a picture. You have to come early for lunch and get GET.
Why does it look extra delicious if you think you can't eat it?


  100_0210.JPG

When you enter the audience seats, there is a "castle celebration curtain" on the front, further enlivening the celebration.


Goro Niimata plays the first role of "Takeyori Toyotomi" in "Takeyori Toyotomi". Unfortunately, Shiban, the role of Yodo-kun, was off from the second day due to poor physical condition, and the substitute was Fukusuke. Uemon Yoshiemon repaired Ujiie Uchizen, Umetama repaired Ono. On the name of the attack, Riki Osako, where executives who appeared are lined up on the stage. This is just enough to see the attacking performance. Mr. Yoshiemon, who was supposed to speak first because Shiban was a break, explained that "I'm nervous for the first time in my life" and invited the audience to laugh.

Sakuramaru of "Kurubiki" is Fujijuro, but he plays the bottom younger brother of the three brothers and does not feel uncomfortable, and it is a youthful and beauty that I can hardly believe that he has passed Kishou. I'd like to tell you the secrets of beauty. When the three brothers are aligned and Utaroku-san plays behind them, the ending of Taira line up is really like a Nishiki-e.


Noboru Shinka plays Sugio Maru cheerfully, and voices say "4th generation" and "Harimaya". 


In the last curtain, "Goemon Ishikawa", who is reputed to work on the air ride and spelling out, "Is it spelled out, but is it funny? When you hear the name line of "Superb View" at the foot of the cherry blossoms in full bloom at the next "Nanzenji Temple Tower Gate Place". Hisakichi Konoshita is Mr. Matsu Midori.

It's until the 25th, but depending on the day, there are still seats.

Please take a look at the commemorative name performance that is only once in Tokyo.
