The word "alley" seems to have a mysterious charm, and recently I'm going to see what is called "back alley walk" in town walks.

Let's introduce the shops in Ginza ALLEY, one of the alleys entering from Ginza Chuo-dori. (ALLEY is said to be derived from French called alee in English, which means narrow streets / Yokocho / alleyways where cars cannot pass.)

After the rainy season, he said, "The full-fledged heat will be in the future." Ginza Street is the same lively atmosphere, regardless of the heat. "Mannendo" is located in the passage with the sign of "Ginza ALLEY" between Chuo-dori Core Building and facing Azuma-dori. Mannendo was founded in Kyoto as "Kameya Izumi". It was 1617 (1617) in the early Edo period. With the relocation of the capital, we set up a shop in Yaesu Kitamaki-cho in 1872 and moved to Ginza after the earthquake. As soon as you visit the shop, you will find plenty of cold barley tea in a large bowl. It's a nice hospitality. Today, we can't help but get the famous "Mede Sugar" (260 yen) and fumanju (200 yen) unique to this season. There is also "Koryomochi" with matcha (260 yen). "Ki no Tsuyu" (150 yen) also has warabi powder and Honkuzu like summer and cannot be removed. The idea of offering the tray, which was delayed, came to mind during the old tray season to make this "Ki no Tsuyu".

Even so, I saw the sweet "Ginza Wakamatsu" lined up right away. Signboards and product displays are the same as they were decades ago. I miss you. When you enter the store, there are only women who are nervous, but I'm glad that the atmosphere of "Showa" has not changed at all. "Ginza Wakamatsu" started in this area in 1894. Even now, the same place as that time is amazing. It's also famous as the first shop to make "Anmitsu". "Alleys" have a little secret and obscene image, but this Ginza ALLEY is an alley with a refreshing and slightly different stylish atmosphere.

It's the second day. The topic of the night part is "Sky ride", the youngest record in Kabuki history (announced by Shochiku) of Ebizo's eldest son, 4-year-old Shogen-chan.

The play is a revival performance for the first time in 250 years of "Akiba Gongen Kaisen" premiered in 1761 (1761). kyogen was about 100 years ago, and this work is a prosthesis and production of Koji Oda and Koji Ishikawa.

"Nippon Daemon, aiming for the world, steals the three shaku sticks of the heirloom Kokinshu and the god of Hibushi (Akiba Gongen), which are gifts from the Enshu Tsukimoto family to the Shogun family, and pursues the house with the help of Akiba Gongen to rebuild the house. The people of the Tsukimoto family who died down in the role of Aemon. " Among them, scenes reminiscent of "Chushingura 4th Dan", "Ise Ondo", "Kago fishing bottle", "Sushiya", and "Muma no Bell" (Hiragana rise and fall) appear one after another, making it a little laugh. And most of all, the crowded audience was waiting for the last act of the second act. Gongen Akiba, dressed as Ebizo, calls out, and when Gengen-chan, the role of a fox, the messenger of Akiba Gongen, appears from Hanamichi, a great applause that can only be said to be amazing. I heard a shout such as "Shogen-chan is great!" When the air ride started together, the audience was excited. Shogen-chan, swinging both hands in the air and smiling. It's going to be a big deal. There are many people who started preparing for the return after the air ride. Well, there's still a "Ozume" act, but...

Some people are in a hurry after returning the earphone guide. Another highlight is that Unosuke, who named the second generation of this month, appeared in the role of Shogun Yoshimasa Higashiyama, and the third generation Udanji appeared in the role of Enaki Daimeizuki. "In the past, the names of Saiiri and Udanji were gathered from 1909, when the first Udanji named the first Saiiri and his eldest son named Udanji, until 1915, when the first Saiiri retired. "(Schochiku announced).

The daytime part is "Yanorone", "Kaga Tobi" and "Renshishi".

Senakiraku is on the 27th, and the evening performance is at 16:45. For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).

What do you think is such a banana? When I heard the name "Recently Popular Shop", I couldn't help but listen back. When I heard "banana juice specialty store", it's "Oh yes", but there are things that I don't understand yet. ・I've been doing it.

When I saw the signboard, I immediately thought, "This is an Okinawan shop."

It's so nice (see the photo), so I asked you immediately. It's been a year since it opened.

Q&A with the following stores:

"It's a branch in Okinawa" (in certainty) Answer "No. But I made a branch in Okinawa."

"What is the reason for this 'Showa' store name?" "Somehow it looked interesting."

"I'm from Okinawa (fixed wind)" "I'm often asked, but no"

"The lottery of the shop?" "I wanted to do something interesting, but I donated it to Chuo-ku. I'll do it again this year. Thank you very much.

It's nice to have a feeling of "working hard" without a feeling of enjoying the shop.

I received a recommended "rich banana juice" of 380 yen. It was Nosur-super rich banana juice with no price as advertised. I just added a little milk to the ripe banana.

You can change to soy milk, add fruit granola and flakes toppings, change to Uji matcha, cocoa, dragon fruit, passion fruit, red potato, island banana. It's also nice to have a lot of ingredients from Okinawa. (I've been caught in Okinawa recently.)

It seems that the number of fans who stop by for breakfast is increasing. I feel like I know.
