On September 19th, the above-mentioned town walking tour organized by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, it was raining lightly, and when I arrived in front of "Arara," and the meeting place "Ninben", a considerable amount of rain. All eight scheduled participants were present before the time. (It's a pity that two people canceled in advance and the magnification was nearly tripled.)
In front of the shop where the delicious smell of bonito stock drifted, I saw a party that seemed to be unavailable for a long time, and Mr. Oba, the manager of the store, guided me to the shop before opening. Thank you very much.
"Ninben" is a long-established long-established long-established store that has been founded in 1699 (1699) for 313 years, without any strangers in "hon dead bonito". Relocated in conjunction with the opening of Choledo Muromachi two years ago. "Katsuobushidashi" of "dashiba" of 100 yen was a big hit, and it sold 2,000 cups a day for a while. Due to the review of Japanese-style eating habits, bonito, one of the fermented foods, seems to have a strong demand.
I found something unusual. That "the earliest new year" is the Kiribus republic "Christmas Island Salt". It is sold as "salt suitable for Japanese food". (100g,525 yen)
It is said that DASHI BAR also uses this salt. I'm looking forward to using it. When it was whitened, I didn't recognize that bonito is the same fermented food as miso and soy sauce. We had a fun explanation such as a silver gift certificate issued in the 18th century, and went to the next visit "Eitaro".
It seems that rain has risen.
This was the first time Eitaro opened an independent store on the banks of Nipponbashinishi (current location) in 1857.
Mr. Nishiwaki is explaining in front of "Noren" at the entrance. "Sunshade noren" has many ink prints on a white background, but in Edo and Nihonbashi neighborhoods, "Kon norenren trademark" has never been noticed. The right is the "red cobblestone" on the left of the entrance. It seems that the first shop purchased what was in the Goto family in Koza. The lower part is "Gokage paving stone", which was used as a paving stone at the entrance to enter the shop from the road at the time of establishment. The history and the long-established stance of "customer first" are conveyed. Summer-like sweets using wasabian called "Amana sugar" and "Tamadare" using Sasage are sold out. I'm sorry. Today, I decided to buy a seasonal rice ball and a name money tsuba from the founding period.
The last visit is Mr. Yamamotoyama. It's already raining. When we arrived, cold tea was served in the table seat. It's an hour since I left, so when you've got a little dry. We are all impressed by the hospitality at the exquisite timing.
"Yamamotoyama" was founded in 1690 (1690). It was the first time that Kahei Yamamoto of Uji started selling tea in Edo Nihonbashi with the hope that "I want many people to taste the delicious tea of Uji because it is so delicious." At that time, this drink, which had begun to spread among the common people, was a huge hit. After that, the fourth generation improved "Sencha" and the sixth generation created "Gyokuro" to create and pursue quality, making the history of tea. What surprised me was that "Yamamotoyama" was the impression that "tea" and "nori" could not be cut, but it was in 1947 that "nori" started selling "nori". I noticed for the first time after hearing Mr. Chikira's explanation, but it is said that there is a laver shop at every station from Mitsukoshi on the Ginza Line to Ginza. Speaking of which, Kyobashi Station-Yamagataya-san, Mitsukoshi-mae-Yamamoto Nori, and Nihonbashi is Yamamotoyama-san.
