"Kibun Tsukiji" has been reopened!

[Apricot peony] September 27, 2012 08:30

"Kibun Tsukiji", which I was looking forward to what kind of shop it will be every time I pass through Tsukiji's out-of-office market, has finally been reopened!

The first thing to be surprised is the abundance of sweet fried chicken lined up in stores!
Shrimp and squid are lined with colorful items such as mushrooms, hijiki, corn, green onions, edamame, spicy burdock, kinpira, okonomiyaki, etc.


 

If you look a little at the side, you will see a demonstration sale of grilled chikuwa!
I'm stinged by a stick.
You're making it like this.
It's rare to be able to eat freshly baked food, so of course, get it.
I had you walk right away.
Of course, you can also eat other Satsumaage immediately on the spot you buy.

Unfortunately, the first day of the opening was unfortunate, but while watching the colorful items, I saw a lot of people wondering which one to choose.

As souvenirs, you can choose something that was delicious after eating, and if you are unsure, there are also "easy set", "greed set" and "variety set".
Shipment is OK, so you can buy a lot and send it out, saying "It's a souvenir of Tsukiji", or send it to a local acquaintance.

Walking around the city of Tsukiji has become more and more fun!


By the way, the annual Tsukiji Outer Market "Tsukiji Autumn Festival" will be held at the same time as "Nichikaichi" that started in April in connection with the 77th anniversary of the market opening, and will be held on Saturday, October 6 and 7 (Sun) It will be held for two days, but at this time, we will offer special gem! That's why I have to go there anymore!

The fun of walking around the city "Takaramachi"

[Apricot peony] September 22, 2012 08:30

Even though it is no longer gone, "place names" remain only in station names and signboards.
That's right.


One of them is Takaramachi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.
Located between Higashi-Ginza Station and Nihombashi Station, it is now Kyobashi 1-3-chome.


"Takaramachi" The name of the name was given in 1931 by the idea of Hikokichi Nakazawa, a businessman and a member of the Tokyo City Council, but in 1978, it was integrated into Kyobashi 1-3-chome. And disappeared.

ck1203_1209201.jpg  ck1203_1209203.jpg  ck1203_1209202.jpg


According to the "30-year history of Chuo-ku", one of the reasons that disappeared was one of the reasons for disappearing was "Muro" in Nihonbashi Muromachi (Muromachi) and Takaramachi's "Treasure (Takara)" in Takaramachi It seems that there was a drawback that caused confusion in the delivery of mail.

Speaking of which, I've heard from a friend who lived in Takaramachi when I was a child that the postal address was "Nihonbashi Takaramachi".
Certainly, if you just see it at a glance or break it, you may not be able to make a mistake.


By the way, the other day, I found a sign called "Kyobashi Takara-dori" in an alley just after going up the stairs of Takaramachi Station.
I'm happy to congratulate Takaramachi on "Treasure Street", so if you think if you buy a lottery in such a place, you will win, etc., discover "Lottery Dream Hall" about 50m away!

ck1203_1209204.jpg  ck1203_1209205.jpg

Here, there is a lottery stage where lottery events such as "Loto 6" and a song show are held, an exhibition of the history of Japanese lottery, a corner where you can experience the 100 million yen bill, etc. There is also a corner where you can search the winning numbers for the year.

When I asked the information, "Is it made in this place because it is Takaramachi?", He answered with a laugh, "No, it looks just a coincidence."


Although there is an antique street in the immediate vicinity, there are only buildings lined up, and this place can be seen as a terrible business district, but if you take a little care and walk around the city, you will find interesting discoveries that I think.
In particular, Chuo-ku has been the center of Japan since the Edo period, and has various history in every corner of the city, so it is a series of discoveries every time you walk.

 

 

 

Tsukiji Italian osteria Naturale (Otherianaturalle)

[Apricot peony] September 19, 2012 14:00

This shop is located just after entering the alley next to it.
Every time I passed in front, I was very worried.

That's because the lunch menu of three or four kinds of pasta is lined with snow crab, scallops, sea urchins, shirasu, salmon and other unbearable items for seafood lovers.

ck1203_1209192.jpgMoreover, pasta made with the same ingredients can be made into tomato and tomato cream by adding a fee in addition to simple saltiness.

I chose spaghetti of scallops, squid and maitake mushrooms on this day.
The sauce is simple salty.

Originally, it was 900 yen with a soup on the pasta, but since it was past 1 o'clock, the soup was cut, and instead it was oolong tea or juice, so I asked for oolong tea.
For lunch, I could order coffee or tea for an additional 200 yen, but I didn't ask because there was oolong tea.

ck1203_1209193.jpgThe simple salty spaghetti was delicious with the flavors of each of the scallops, squid and maitake mushrooms, but the tomato sauce of the person next to the table was a little bit drawn.
If you can, come with a lot of people, order various things, and share them, it seems that you can enjoy more.


The shop is very small, so the charter is OK from 15 people!
It is said that it depends on the budget from 3,000 yen, and there is also an all-you-can-drink 1890 yen.
It's a bit early to welcome and farewell parties and New Year's party year-end parties, but for now, it's the most promising candidate for year-end parties.

Earring specialty store in Ginza "mimiya (Mimiya)"

[Apricot peony] September 4, 2012 17:00

Ginza's original accessory shop "A.C.T.Y.plains", which "Ginzo" was introduced the other day, is available.

The moon, trees, Sunday and public holidays are regular holidays, but we use the moon and trees to open a earring specialty store.
So, it's the "share" of shops that are popular now.

ck1203_1209042.jpg 

It is produced by Tomoko Hara, a partner of artisan Tamura at AC.T.Y.

There are earrings designed by Chieko and thought they are cute, but the price is much closer, from the thousands of yen range, and the special limited K18 Onyx piercing is 1000 yen!
It's a great price for beginners of earrings.

ck1203_1209044.jpg  ck1203_1209043.jpg


Chieko, who is very friendly, is an idol in this neighborhood.
I will give you various advice such as various coordination and how to care for accessories, but I will tell you "Please feel free to drop in at any time", so my feet will just turn around.
It is a shop with a warm atmosphere like an old downtown.

At the time of "mimiya (Mimiya), the door of the shop remains open and it is easy to enter, so please take a look at it once.
