Hamacho Sampo 1

[Bird] June 3, 2009 09:00

  I took a walk around Nihonbashihamacho. When you exit "Hamacho" Exit A2 on the Toei Shinjuku Line, an oasis full of greenery. Some people sit on benches and read newspapers, and others slept beside their dogs. Paris Metro? It's as good as I think. Right in front is Meijiza, but today we turn right and go right on the narrow road in front of Hamacho Park.

  Immediately on your right is Takatora, a store in Tenugui. It is a long-established store that has been running a Konya since the Edo period. My husband is a smart Edo kid like a Kabuki actor. I always work on the second floor, but if I'm lucky, I might be able to meet you. Fifty years have been making Tenugui. The word Tenugui is deep. It's full of humor, and you don't know unless you're educated! For example, the three pieces below. Just looking at it, you can see who the owner is. Please try it.

While keeping tradition, it also incorporates newness. There is also a collaboration with Klimt's work. Do you know this "Yabo T-shirt" again? The petals of chrysanthemums are the letters of Yabo. "I just listen to it." When I heard the story of my husband, I found that it was a slaughter. No, a little bit, I was asked to share the best.

 By the way, if you go a little further along the road, you will find Kiyomasa Koji Temple on your left. In fact, this large Hamacho Park is the site of the garden of Hosokawa of the Kumamoto clan. And the first generation (Higo) feudal lord was "Kiyomasa", Kato Kiyomasa. It seems that it was founded in Nichiren sect Honmyoji Temple in Kumamoto, and the current Dou was rebuilt in 1959.

Go straight down the alley behind the temple. Ah? Something a long thing ... apparently the "washi" was dried from the third floor. It's spectacular. I see, this is a sumo room. "Arashio Room" and a fine tree nameplate are hung. The master was originally Oyutoyoseki. Before 9 o'clock in the morning, you can see the wrestler's practice from outside.

 If you go through the alley, you will get to Kiyosumi-dori. Cross the street, turn left, and turn right. This is a secret French restaurant "Lubuton". Hamacho is an image of Japanese food, but it is a food-friendly town. There are both French and Italian. This "Luboun" starts at 1800 yen for lunch.

  After lunch, how about tomorrow's bread at "Tanne" nearby? It seems that Meister of German bread is baking. It may feel a little plain for Japanese people who are used to soft and sweet bread, but the more they chew, the more they taste.

 

  There is a green path in front of you. On the other side of this green road is Ningyocho. To the right of this green road today. When you come to the statue of Benkei in "Kanjincho", go right again and return to Kiyosumi-dori. 

Today's souvenirs are determined by the "port shop" at the corner.

It is a "Yumeji specialty store" full of Yumeji goods, including prints by Yumeji Takehisa, postcards and Japanese accessories. Once you step in, you will be able to immerse yourself in the world of Taisho Roman. In the first place, this shop can be said to be a reproduction of the "Minatoya Esogo store" opened by Yumeji Takehisa himself. The store where Yumeji opened was Gofukumachi. The building of the Mizuho Trust head office is now towering, but it must have been a popular spot for women in the Taisho era. Now here in Hamacho, the master who loves Yumeji will tell you about Yumeji.

I've been going around Hamacho 2-chome a little, but Hamacho is still deep! That said, the continuation is again ...
