In the west "Hot Koshien", which started on the 8th, Ebizo-san struggles early in the theater this month! The topic "Date's Ten Roles" is opening. I went out immediately with a friend of "Shrimp Life".

The great success of "Thank you very much." At the beginning of the opening, Ebizo in front of the panel of 10 roles played in the background divided into "good" and "bad" in the background, "Hajimomijiase no Kaomi" (Hajimomijiase no Kaomi) means "I will explain the face that has turned red like autumn leaves by changing the ten roles quickly while sweating."
He plays the ten roles of "deceiving, deceived", "slaughter", "cutting, judge", so if you tighten the daily "10 times cheering", you can see that the hall will be excited with the expectation of "10 times cheering".

This kyogen was written by the north and south by a combination of "Kara predecessor Hagi" and "Kaidan no Kaidan" based on the Date riot known as the three major riots in Edo. It was played in 1815 (1815) and played 10 roles such as Daijin Masaoka, Danki Dansei, and Katsumotoju Hosokawa. After that, the performance was discontinued, and the predecessor Sarunosuke revived in Meijiza in 1979, and since then it has become one of Sarunosuke's favorite roles. Ebizo played his first role in 2010 and replayed for the first time in 2 years and 7 months. In the second time, the early replacement was used to drifting stones and I don't know when it was changed. It is thought that it will be really tough physically because it will change 10 roles almost 50 times in a play close to 4 hours, but it is somewhat fun and easy to spare, from Dotetsu on the bank in the shape of a monk to Daio Takao , From Niki Dansei to Katsumoto, the judge role, and finally to the air ride. Early replacement is the main, so it is digested conveniently and it is not exactly the same as the story of "Hagi" or "Aggregation", but it is guaranteed that you can enjoy it.

Please take a look at the stage of Ebizo who blows away the remaining heat.

It started in August. The fall on the 7th is just right away, but the summer heat will be in the future. The rival "eel" for preventing summer batter is soaring this year, so "overcoming the summer of 2012" is still curry.

Curry is now complete Japanese "national food" along with ramen. According to S&B Shokuhin's website, the history of curry in Japan is "Western Cuisine" and "Western Cuisine Dori" published in 1872, just before Civilization and enlightenment. The curry dish originally had a prototype in India was passed on to the home country through the East India Company established by U.K. in the 16th century, and was reborn as a traditional roux type in Western Europe, and then brought to Japan as one of Western dishes. " The curry, which was introduced to Japan in the early Meiji era and developed independently, was completed in the form of potatoes, carrots, and onions at the end of the Meiji era, and was also adopted for military menus. "Curry flour" was first introduced in 1950 (Showa 25) when S & B Shokuhin released "red can curry powder". After that, curry roux was released around 1955, and it became a staple of Japanese home cooking. There are many famous curry shops, and your favorites will vary, but today I will introduce two of them with my own discretion and prejudice.

The Indian tandor dish "Kaibaru" opened in 2006. This recommendation is limited to Saturdays and Sundays, "Kaibaru Special Tally" (3 kinds of curry today, 2 kinds of tandoli without bones, Sica bab, shrimp, Nan, bath taste rice) 1,600 yen

Today's curry is three kinds of long ones, shrimp, ground chicken meat, and okra. Freshly baked Nan is very chewy and really delicious, but it is "difficult" to gradually cool down because it is large. I always think that there is no way to leave it freshly baked until the end.

Bath taste rice is a so-called "long grain type" that removes stickiness, so it is perfect for curry.

Tsubakiya Coffee Shop is located on Hanatsubaki Street in Ginza. “Beef curry set” (with vegetable salad and coffee) 1,300 yen for lunchtime at WEEKDAY

There are also mixed sandwiches (1300 yen and hot sandwiches (1200 yen) for lunch.
Please note that a price changes when it is past time of the lunchtime.
It's a nice place that both stores are open all year round.

Just as "Kanji" has become a national language, let's survive the hot summer with curry while thinking about the history of curry that has become a national food and the ingenuity of the predecessors who digest and absorb new things.
