One of the most prominent novels in the novels of the boom is the chef. I am amazed at the variety of Edo-era dishes that appear in the Mikutsushi Cooking Book (Iku Takada) and the Chef's Kizo Prediction (Hatsuko Wada). Of course, I think there are many places where the writer's brush is clear, but it looks delicious and I tried to make it. ・I don't know the taste. ・・ ・ I came to Ginza Mikawa-ya after hearing that the universal seasoning "Senshu" that appears in both works has recently been restored and commercially available, and has become popular. (If you have this, I can. ・・・・・）

"Senshu" (Irizake) is "Japanese sake made with dried plums and flower bonito and boiled down", and it seems that the taste was slightly different depending on the shop, and it seems that the chef's skill showed. "Sweetnessso" is "a bean miso that was naturally brewed for 18 months without using chemical seasonings and carefully kneaded with natural sweetness", and it was a valuable item because sugar was very expensive in the Edo period . It seems good for tofu Dengaku, miso oden, and grilled rice balls.

Mikawaya opened a restaurant in Shiodome, Genroku period as a sake merchant, as stated in the guide, "Edo food (slow food) store that conveys the food and tradition of Edo to today." In 2003, the 400th anniversary of the opening of Edo, it became the current business format as "Edo Food Shop".

In addition to the unchanging tastes from the Edo period, such as "abalone boiled shellfish", "old Sawaan", "sato burdock", and "ninuki soup", "Edo Genroku era sake" recreated based on ancient document is popular recently.

Is the DNA of Edo passed down from time to time? The store also introduces books on Edo cuisine, and it is a very fun shop that Edo lovers can not miss.

On the way home, I stopped by a nearby coffee "Rei" and talked to Madame about "senshu", and said, "Egg rice is the best!" Speaking of which, was this the first time I heard that "Senshu" is on sale? I finally remembered it. Oh! Is it because of age? I also received a recipe for "Senshu", so let's try it for a while.

I'm always bothered by the family members who are used as the experimental stand for "My Creative Cooking", but this seems OK. Fufufufu

Senshu 300ml 600 yen, sweet so 600 yen (excluding tax)

Yumeji Takehisa, a poet painter representing Taisho Roman, was born in Okayama Prefecture on September 16, 1884 (1884). This year is 130 years. A monument to "Yumeji / Minatoya-related land" is built at the front entrance of Mizuho Trust Bank in Yaesu 1-chome.

Yumeji, who was extremely popular with his unique beauty paintings and lyric poems claimed to be Yumeji, opened his hobby shop port 130 meters west of this monument in 1914, and sold prints, envelopes, cards, postcards, Tenugui and half-collar designs. "The exhibition in which the artist himself commercialized the work and created a store that sells it, has an important significance in the history of commercial art in Japan," explains the monument. It was certainly a revolutionary and innovative idea at that time. This year, the commemorative year of the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Minatoya Esogami store in this area, a commemorative exhibition titled `` 130th Birthday Yumeji Takehisa Exhibition-Yumeji and Rotrek who lived in Belle Epoch '' will be held at each Takashimaya store I'm visiting. "We have a wide range of designs, from magazine covers and advertisements to daily necessities, and are outstanding in the world of commercial art and publishing. The two, who did not belong to the art gallery and had the sensibility to read the cutting edge of the times and raised prints and posters to independent genres, seem to be a project that contrasts the two as "an artist who symbolizes Belle Epoque" (a pamphlet for the exhibition). The monument is close to Nihonbashi Takashimaya and the monument, so please look forward to "Would you like to see it after seeing it?"

The 130th Birthday Yumeji Takehisa Exhibition will be held at Nihonbashi Takashimaya from September 26 to October 6.

Today, it is a bit disappointing that it is raining even though it is "Mid-Autumn Moon", but it seems that the heat has crossed the pass, and it has become a good season for the play. In September, the `` Hideyama Festival '' Daikabuki bearing the haiku name of the first Yoshiemon, the second generation Yoshiemon, and Nizaemon who returned to Harimaya Ichimon in June also joined the performance of the second generation Yoshiemon. It is a high performance. This month, I decided to see it from the afternoon. This time, the popular `` Hokaibo '' also features a dance `` Nimen Mizu Terutsuki '' in which the killed Hokaibo merges with the princess, and laughter occurs from the audience just after going up from the unusual woman of Yoshiemon, the woman of Yoshiemon, Suppin. Will happen. The voice of a princess is Kuroko's voice. I saw Kuroko like a woman anyway? When I thought it was, Tannosuke, who played Nobuhime, was serving. The clarity between "Jinzo Toolya" played by Nizaemon and Hokaibo swirls in the audience with a generous smile. There is a line like "I'm doing a good job!" in adlib. 。 During the intermission, I saw a person known for the TV appraisal program and made me understand. It's fun to play like this. In the evening part, `` Picture Book Taikoki '' and the topic `` Renshishi '' danced by Nizaemon and his grandson Chinosuke-kun, Somegoro's `` Goro Kura of the Imperial Palace '' and Gitayu, caretaker, dance and good balance There are only things that can not be overlooked. As the autumn deepens, the number of theaters for Kabuki performances will increase, and the days of shortage of pocket money will continue. Tohoho
