Since its opening on November 8th, I took a look at the information center, which has already become a popular spot in Tsukiji with many exposures such as newspapers and TVs. As soon as you leave Tsukiji Station, a new building is built in front of the main hall. The bright entrance of the first floor with glass is a corner dealing with cafe TSUMUGI and one-stroke notes and incense. In the back of the cafe, a photo exhibition of "Honanji 400 Years" is being held, and photographs of those days are displayed in chronological order. When I asked for permission to shoot, I was thrilled with a smiling response saying "Please help me." First of all, it is a fairly spacious space with about 50 to 60 seats in the cafe. I'm surprised to see the menu. Several herbal teas with original blends named Japanese tea and Peppin tea, original drinks using tea, coffee, and several sweets and shaved ice! 。 There are everything from breakfast set to lunch table and pasta. It's a lineup that conveys the seriousness of Mr. Honganji. The "breakfast rice porridge set" with 18 kinds of side dishes seemed to be popular and delicious, but this is until 11 o'clock. I heard a voice saying, "Do you have any more?"

 

When I asked the service, it was said that this menu was introduced on TV. The requested "Kishu Bincho charcoal charcoal grilled coffee" (580 yen extra) was accompanied by a cute hourglass and was explained, "Please eat after 3 minutes." If you like shaved ice, I asked, "Is there all year round?", "I'm planning so far. I'll be waiting for you next time," he replied.

100_2567.JPGNext, I took a look at the book center on the second floor. It seems that there are nearly 3,000 points in the center of Buddhist books. Certainly there may be demand to collect only Buddhism-related books. It is a wide range of items from "Tanmusho" to Kaoru Takamura's "Kukai", English Buddhist commentary, and fairy tales. I purchased "Tanmusho" with commentary and "I understand Buddhism well in super easy English". "Hanwakayu" is Wisdom Water. It seems that some people say, "This can be used."

 

At night's cafe, you can enjoy alcohol while looking at the illuminated main hall.

 

The predecessor of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, Asakusa Mido, was founded in 1617 (1617) near Yokoyamacho. It was burned down by the great fire of the Meiryaku era (Meiji 3rd year 1657), and in 1679 (1679), Mido was completed in Tsukiji ("Tsukiji Gobo"). It was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake and rebuilt in 1934 as an ancient Indian-style stone building. In 2014 (2014), main hall, gateposts (main gate, north gate, south gate), and stone walls were designated as heavy sentences. I'm a little bit confusing. (From "Chuo-ku Fun Encyclopedia")

 

Next time, I would like to enter by 11:00 and try the "Okayu Set". The number of best cafes has increased during a walk in Tsukiji.

 

Tsukiji Honganji Cafe TSUMUGI 8:00 to 21:00 a.m.

"Nichimotohashi Shigenomi" - Restaurant in Shiga antenna shop "Koko Shiga"

As the 27th store of the antenna shop in Chuo-ku, Shiga Prefecture's information dissemination base "Koko Shiga" opened on October 29 at the corner of Nihonbashi intersection. It's a two-story building with a rooftop terrace. I came in the first week after a little calming down. We are looking for a restaurant "Shinomi" (Jinomi) on the second floor. It seems to have repeated the meaning of "nourishment" of Shiga Prefecture and nourishment.

 

The number of seats is 34, and the view is good just below the Nihonbashi intersection. There are four types of lunch menus, "Chicken Jun Jun Tamaki Tojidon" 1,000 yen "Delicious sour soup noodles" 1,000 yen, "Oomi Ichiju Sansai Set Meal" 1200 yen, "Oomi beef set meal" 2,800 yen. "Junjun" is said to be "Junjun" in Shiga Prefecture, a pot seasoned like sukiyaki is called Junjun. I was fascinated by this, but "Oomi" would be "Oomi beef"! That's why it's a luxurious lunch, but many people thought about the same thing, and I heard a voice saying "Oomi beef is the end." In the Edo era, meat was banned face-to-face, but the only beef production was allowed was the Hikone clan, dedicated beef pickled in miso to the general, and Yahee Horibe, the oldest 76-year-old when Oishi built-in assistant defeated, It is also famous that he gave miso pickles, "To nourish the body." Is it a big curing drug under the name of "Ari Honmaru" (Hempongan)? It seems that he was selling it. I have read a rare theory that Naosuke Ii refused to say, "I want the Mito clan to send it to us," which was the distant cause of "the change outside Sakuradamon." "It will take 20 minutes," he said. Around the sliced beef, grilled Oomi vegetables are lined up colorfully. It was my first time grilling red turnip and radish, but it's so delicious that I'll try it next time. The meat comes with horseradish, salt and gray beer sauce.

There are many seats, so if you avoid Saturdays and Sundays, you can enter without waiting too much. locally brewed sake bar is located near the entrance, so you can enjoy 33 different brands along with simple tidbits. There are also various opening commemorative events such as the "Oomi Rice Omusubi Contest" (held from November 12th to 25th), so please take a look when you go to Nihonbashi.

"Famimize" begins~November Kabukiza Theater

1. Nov. 6, 2017 12:00

100_2552.JPG

This year, two months later this year, November 1st, the opening of the first day of the annual face-to-face performance called "Kabuki New Year". A luxurious face-to-face with only those that started in the sense of introducing the contract actors in the next year. On the first day, the actors' wifes are also near the entrance, and the audience seats are conspicuous, and the celebration is full. Foreigners stand out all over the seats. I felt that it was increasing recently, but today there are many people without earphone guides, so this is amazing. I'm so happy.

 

In the evening part, Nizaemon plays the fifth and sixth stages of "Kanademoto Chushingura", and the second half of luck, Kanpei. In an interview, Nizaemon said, "It's a very difficult part because I'll play with a hard feeling as soon as I breathe." When it comes to light yellow crest clothing from a gunshot dress, it is a good man that "drips water" as the words say. The serifu is only a word of "fifty cars", but this is also a role played by a good man, "Ax Sadakuro" is Somegoro. In the meantime, Fujijuro's "Shinguchi Village" enters, and the last curtain is "Oishi's last day" in "Genroku era Chushingura". The built-in assistant is Koshiro. In the daytime section, "Koi Grass" is Somegoro, "Oshu Adachigahara" is Emon Yoshiemon, and "Nao Samurai" is Kikugoro. Please take a look at "face-to-face" with luxurious face-to-face that sighs.

 

In the intermission, I found a snow crystal in the Hokuetsu Snow Record, written by Bokushi Suzuki during the Tenpo era of "Mutsu no Hana" at Osugiya Sobei Shoten in Joetsu City. It is a Wasanbon. The other is said to use Banshu-Ako famous confectionery "Shihomi Manju" and Akaho salt in connection with Ako Gishi. There was also a familiar "in the middle of the stomach".
