Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The day after tomorrow is the Tokyo Marathon. This is the 6th time of the event. I participated in the 1st and 2nd consecutive times, but since then I have lost to the high competition rate and have been dedicated to supporting Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge every year.

By the way, did you know that anyone can enter the Tokyo Marathon Expo held at Tokyo Big Sight free of charge without participating in the marathon as a runner? In fact, the Chuo-ku Tourism Association also exhibits at this Tokyo Marathon Expo every year. As I went earlier, souvenirs unique to Chuo-ku, such as seaweed from Yamamotoyama, candy from Eitaro, and Senshafuroshiki, were sold. Of course, you can also get useful information for sightseeing in Chuo-ku (I didn't have a camera, so I'm sorry that I couldn't introduce the booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association with photos ...).

After all, Chuo-ku occupies the longest distance of the Tokyo Marathon courses. This expo will be held tomorrow Saturday as well. If you don't participate in the marathon, please come and visit us. The booth number of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association is C-7.

If you raise money for Great East Japan Earthquake at the venue, you will receive a yellow handkerchief limited to the Tokyo Marathon.

The expiration date of Happy Meal Tickets is approaching. While I was spared somehow, the shop I was planning to go was closed for a while on the return of the staff, or it was under renovation, so I was a little disappointed that the address I used recently came off.

Such a strong ally of my home is "Meshiya" in Tsukishima. Because it is a neighborhood, it is a shop that usually goes a little bit, but if you have a happy meal ticket, the frequency will increase further. As a result, 90% of the happy meals purchased this time were used at Meshiya.

"Meshiya" is the number one reputation in our home in the Tsukuda and Tsukishima areas. My parents' parents' parents come all the way to eat from Chiba. Dried food is delicious, but sashimi is also delicious and you can drink while enjoying various tidbits at night.

Today's recommended set meal A. The dried fish of silver salmon and small horse mackerel are accompanied by rice, miso soup and grated radish.

But that's not the case. The big attraction of "Meshiya" is the three glass bottles placed on the table.

Pickles, salted squid, pickled kasu of a number of children, seaweed tsukudani, etc. are contained and you can enjoy as much as you like. In particular, Kasuzuke is my favorite. I'll sit on the table where this is placed.

"Meshiya" is a shop run by the president of a dried fish specialty store in Tsukiji, that is, a dried fish professional.
You can also buy dried fish at the shop, so it is also recommended as a souvenir.

Actually, "Meshiya" was used as a secret information. Adults, when I was with tourist association correspondent Ginzo and Yurikamome, I was told to introduce it on a blog, so I decided to release it (if you become a tourist association correspondent, you can also interact with such correspondents You can enjoy).

The location is opposite the Monja General Information Center, located at Exit 7 of Tsukishima Station.
