"4,000 Ryo Oban Umeba" and the ruins of Kodemmacho prison mansion

1. February 28, 2017 09:00

In February, we will guide you to Edo-like friends in the daytime of Kabukiza. It's the first group appreciation, but I'm looking for "4,000 Ryo" "Temmacho Nishi Daigogi". It is a place that has been very popular since the premiere due to its realism.

 

In 1855 (1855), the former smallest person Fujioka Fujioka Fujijuro and Tomizo of Noshu Mujuku stole 4,000 cars from Gokinzo in Edo Castle, and it was impossible to perform in the Edo period in Ryuishi. The main character was also real name, Tomizo Fuji, the fifth generation Kikugoro Ichikawa, 5th generation Fujizo, 7.

 

The place of this "Temmacho Nishi Daigoku" which attracted a lot of attention. The source of information for Miku Ami is Nariyoshi Tamura, who had a friendship with Kikugoro the fifth generation. Nariyoshi Tamura was adopted by Kintaro Tamura, who played the role of prison concentric and key, and he himself has worked in prisons, and the realities of prisoners and customs are thanks to this. Nariyoshi Tamura later served as a counselor for Kabukiza and effectively ruled Kabukiza until the management right moved to Shochiku at the beginning of the Taisho era, and was called "Tamura Shogun". ("Kabukiza Godai," Toshihiko Ishiyama)

 

This time, Kikugoro and Umetama of the current generation will be performed, and the prisoner will be Sadanji.

 

"Chikuma Miso", which appears on the line called "Misohachikuma Limited Rurunou" at the first place of the beginning, is still at the base of Eitai Bridge, and as you know, "Behaved amazake" when Akaho Nanji was withdrawn.

 

After the theater, I moved to a nearby cafe and said, "How to use the board that hits the prisoner, the long line that tells the prison method is amazing," and when it comes to the story of "Temmacho prison site", everyone loves Edo with drifting stones, I have gone. At the entrance of Jushi Square in Nihonbashikodenmacho, there is also a model of an elaborate prison, and if you look at the play or see it after seeing it, you will leave it to you. It's a popular kyogen, so if you miss it this time, please look forward to the next time.

Do you know "Sashicho-san"? Marunaka Corporation

1. February 26, 2017 09:00

Recommended for those who say "the toes are long and ordinary tabi have tight fingers." It is not used in large quantities like those who do arts, so it is suitable for those who take a foot mold at a tabi specialty store and order it. It seems that "finger length tabi" has been around for a long time, but recently demand has increased rapidly for young people and foreigners. While walking around the wholesaler street in Yokoyamacho, I found a shop with lots of tabi. When asked, "Is it retailing also done?" I asked you with confidence with the answer "Of course!" I asked for a cute "Sashicho" immediately. It seems to be "making only the toe part 5mm longer with normal size". In addition, it's a wholesaler, so it's a bargain that surprises you than the usual selling price. It was a kimono shop, but there were plenty of accessories, and when I asked to pick up "Sashicho-san", I had this and smiled unintentionally. Of course, thanks to Mr. Sashicho, he was released from many years of pain in his fingers. It is a really recommended shop for those who are wearing kimonos.

"Early Spring Oedo Nihonbashi Antenna Shop stamp rally" is another week.

1. February 23, 2017 09:00

Last fall, a product hit at stamp rally Antenna Shop in Chuo-ku, and challenged the Nihonbashi version with "Dream again." I came here right away. It starts at 13 o'clock. First of all, go to Toyama-kan at the base of Nihonbashi.

100_2257.JPG 100_2265.JPG

I purchased 750 yen of zodiac rooster made of Gokayama Japanese paper, 300 yen of mini hina hare, and 343 yen of trendy amazake. Next, we headed to Nara Mahoroba-kan.

100_2258.JPG 100_2267.JPG

Here is Kinako Cream Daifuku 226 yen x 2, okara 160 yen.

 

The third one that bothered me was the Nihonbashi Shimanekan.

100_2259.JPG

 

In front of "Mie Terrace", a sister called "Today February 22 is Ninninja, Ninja Day" was invited by a sister called "Iga Hojicha" and tasted it delicious, so this is also 300 yen.

100_2260.JPG 100_2266.JPG

 

I decided to have a late lunch at the next restaurant. I've always wanted to look into it once, but it's the first time I don't have a chance. Seasonal local oyster gratin, risotto, and raw oysters are attractive. I got lost and decided to make it "Matsusaka Italian". This is a set of "meat sauce using Matsuzaka beef" and is 1800 yen with soup, salad and small bowl.

100_2261.JPG 100_2262.JPG

Because it faces Chuo-dori, people passing through the menu and the inside of the store. The table, which had been two sets, was almost full. From 14:30, there was "Ise Udon" at Cafe Time in addition to "Dolce and Drinks". It's nice for those who missed lunch.

 

After a break, go to Nihonbashi Fukushimakan. "San Fuji of 500 yen with 6 pieces" was attractive, but I gave up because it was bulky and heavy. I'm sorry to receive only the stamp.

 

The last is Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

100_2268.JPG 100_2269.JPG

"There is a reason Maruburo" 378 yen and get it right away. Nagasakikan is the first anniversary of opening in March, and there is an event every day from March 1 to 10. Please take a look. 15 o'clock. Oh, I forgot my coffee!

There are many shops with restaurants, so it is recommended to take a walk + lunch to see Nihonbashi Burari.

 

In the Nihonbashi area, antenna shops continued to open, making it the second largest number of shops after the Ginza area.

Both department stores and supermarkets are at this time of Valentine Fair Takenawa, but until last week, convenience stores are sure to have a big publicity banner of "Ehomaki" ... The chocolates of famous stores are also a hundred flowers Ryoran, and they are all stylish packages and look delicious. Do you have anything wrong with me? What I remembered was "Dassai Store", which announced the opening of the Ginza store last year. I remember that there was chocolate in the sweets at that time. I'm sorry to bother you right away. There was! 3 pieces (1296 yen) and 5 pieces of "Dassai chocolate" combining bitter type and milk type using "Dassai 20% 3 minutes". Of course, it is an adult chocolate that is perfect for other wines and sparkling, as well as to eat with Dassai. There is also Baumkuchen (2375 yen) made of rice bran. Dassai Cake (1640 yen) is also popular with those who are not good at sweets because of the slight sweetness of sake.

How about a different Valentine gift?

"Start Two Momotaro"-Saruwaka Festival February Daikabuki-Kabukiza

1. February 10, 2017 18:00

100_2228.JPG100_2229.JPG100_2230.JPG

100_2231.JPG100_2232.JPG

The first stage of Kankuro Nakamura's two sons, Shichiohachi-kun, 5-year-old and Tetsuyuki-kun, 3-year-old, respectively, under the names of "Kantaro 3rd generation" and "Saburo 2nd generation". The audience seats are full because it has a great reputation that a TV special feature is also included. All of you are looking for Momotaro. The first stage of two fathers, Kankuro, and his younger brother Shichinosuke, is the same performance 30 years ago. The first stage of Kansaburo, the 18th generation of his grandfather, is also "Old Story Momotaro" in the same role of Momotaro, 58 years ago. I'm afraid I don't see this, but my companion is proud to see it. Now, the curtain has opened. Grandma is Tokizo, grandpa is Shiban, parents are Kankuro and Shichinosuke. Dogs, monkeys, pheasants are Somegoro, Matsu Midori, Kikunosuke. The luxurious version of the chief priest couple of Kibitsu Shrine is Kikugoro and Kaiharu. Every time they say a word or make a mistake, they applauded the hall. It's good on your mouth. Kankuro's worried face on the back is still his father's face. Can they keep watching until they reach the age of Kankuro and Shichinosuke? I'm a little worried, but I've enjoyed it for a long time.

The night part is "Amagasaki Kani" and "Umegoyomi" in "Picture Taikoki". When I looked at the performance record because I thought I didn't see "Umegoyomi" quite a bit, the last time was 13 years ago. Personally, I think that the combination of Takao, Tamasaburo, and Kankuro (18th generation Kanzaburo) was the best, but this time Somegoro, Kikunosuke, and Kankuro were also very good, and Kikunosuke and Kankuro Tatsumi Geisha's pods are interesting. Even so, Kikunosuke is so beautiful that he sighs. "Nice!" with a companion He was lamenting Boka's poverty as if there were any other words, "Beautiful!"

The daytime part is "Saruwaka Edo's First Ogura" (the same performance as 30 years ago), "Daisho Hirukojima", "4,000 Ryo", and "Folding Lion".

Kabukiza has Kabukiza Inari, so on the afternoon of February, the first day festival or the second noon festival is held. This year, there is the first day festival on the 12th, and soup flour is served during the intermission. This is only on this day, but the Jiguchi lantern is displayed on the third floor during this month's performance, so please take a look. In the intermission, I went up to the third floor and took a picture. I bought Kibi dumplings in commemoration at the shop. There are 10 in front of me. What are you going to do? There are a lot of people. ・・・
