Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

It's early this year and half is about to pass. It's the turning point of the year.

Since ancient times, at the end of June, Shinto ritual has been held at shrines around the country in order to remove half a year's filth and eliminate evil diseases as "Nago Shinohara E". It is also mentioned in <Engishiki> during the Heian period.

It seems that <Chinowa Gourmet> is often held at this event. There are many historic shrines in Chuo-ku, which can be seen in several areas.

On this day, I visited [Tsukiji Namiki Shrine]. On the afternoon of a holiday when the drops of the rainy season fell quietly, it was a time to look back quietly half a year.

"I hope there will be good things in the second half of this year" ... I just pray for the development of a peaceful and bustling area.

 

 

 

From 6:00 pm on June 20 (Saturday), I saw a classical performing arts appreciation party at Nihonbashi Theater in Nihonbashi Kumin Center.

When I was young, my grandmother on both sides was playing geisha Waltz with the shamisen in the evening, and I think that it was not very good because one of the grandmother was accidentally stopped in the same place, but I didn't think it was very good, but I loved the pleasant sound of the shamisen.

As you walk along the path of Ningyocho, you can still hear the sound of the shamisen occasionally. When there is a performance of Meijiza, a shamisen shop in amazake Yokocho is playing. In such a case, I stop and listen to the sound of the shamisen.

I had always wanted to go to a shamisen concert, but I learned about the classical performing arts appreciation party with a poster in Chuo-ku and watched it for the first time. It took less than two hours, but I was impressed by the sounds and dances of my favorite shamisen, with lectures on culture and history of Edo, stories about Joruri Tokiwazu, dance Yamato Raku, Gitayu, and dance Kiyoharu. You can see performing arts in various fields at once, so it is recommended for beginners like yourself.

Those who perform or perform are members of the Chuo Ward, who follow the tradition from the Edo period, and perform wonderful arts once a year. There were also interesting stories such as "June 6, 6, is good to start performing arts," and "Kanetsugu Naoe's mansion is the current Metropolitan Police Department." And there are many kimonos who come to see them, and I am deeply moved to think that during the Edo period, I was watching the play of Edo Yoza around here. I'm looking forward to the next time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Italian luxury cruise ship Costa * Kurashika (52,926 tons), which entered the port on June 11, is scheduled to reenter around noon on June 28, and will depart around 7:00 pm on the 29th.

　On June 26 and 27, the 8th Chuo-ku Bouquet Festival.

It seems that it is a song for women who work at home in the community at work, and we were worried that there would be no place for men, but that's not the case. Of course, the participatory questionnaire surrounded by women at the beginning was blurred, but postcards from the azalea association and cute dolls from the Miyabikai softened my heart. In addition, in the Bon Dance of Otowakai, some jump-in dancers who were familiar with appeared, and their hearts were greatly excited.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　The only one here is the popular eco-life {low-carbon life}.　　　　　　　　　　　

　Eco*Being on the third floor showed us the measurement of water-themed food mileage and virtual water this year. Photos of the feast are lined up on the table, and choose one you like. I made it hamburger rice, but when I operated the keyboard while explaining Japan's food self-sufficiency rate and drinking water, water will be used until I entered my mouth with a hamburger full of 150g imported beef and rice. It means that 1785 bottles and about 18 200 liters bathtubs are also used. I'm surprised.

In addition, there are many things to study. Rakugo Yoseki was also held on the 26th. Dome

 

 

Well, I still left it unpublished "manuscript" ... It seems that it appeared on the place of publication on the 22nd without permission. It will overlap halfway, but please understand ... 

  We have participated in the Nihonbashi Long-established Relay Tour, which was included in Mr. shikichan's plan.

 What are the schedules announced on HP http://www.ninben.co.jp/meguri/...

Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store Lion Set Mikado Coffee Main Store Spelled Yashima Nekan Nihonbashi Kaishin Kappo cuisine Toyoda

 However, as a rule, it is a rule to match the convenience of the long-established store on that day, so there was a change on the day, but it was so fun and interesting that I thought it was better, from the set of 11:00 to 14:30 Until the dissolution, I felt in no time.

I'll give you a brief report right away.

In addition, since it is likely to be long, I would like to report it in several times ...

Also, when I visited, it would be rude to use a camera with a camera so flashy ... I brought only my mobile phone instead of a digital camera, so it is quite difficult to see the image ... ... ...

Please understand (Note Of course, when you take a picture on your mobile phone, you will be allowed to the shop).

Mikado Coffee Main Store

 The taste of Karuizawa line is "Mocha Soft Cream" with all participants on the first floor standing seats (the second and third floors have table seats and terrace seats, and the price is cheaper for standing seats). Soft serve ice cream with plenty of Micad Coffee's original blended coffee is really delicious! !

It is said that Mikado Coffee Honten sold cheesecakes first in Japan.

Nihonbashi Nigatakan NICO Plaza & Nara Mahorobakan & Shimanekan

At Nihonbashi Nigatakan NICO Plaza, tastings such as hegi soba, Koshihikari, sake, persimmon seeds and bamboo dumplings were being held on this day.

There are five types of persimmon seeds: standard, curry flavor, spicy, plum flavor, and wasabi flavor, and it was popular with office workers who stopped by. Here, we purchased Hegi soba (dry noodles) from the tasting of Hegi soba and Koshi Hikari and the membership fee, and had them as souvenirs.

Nara Mahoroba Hall

Until just the other day, the statue of Asura at Kofuku-ji Temple, which had been forming a long line every day in Ueno (recorded the third place, including Mona Lisa, etc.) and the topicality became popular and you were greeted by you ... !

A story ... The persimmon leaf sushi of "Hiramune-san" sold here is not available at Depa land prices in Tokyo or at product exhibitions. It seems to be a shop.

A reporter from a magazine said, "What was the persimmon leaf sushi you've eaten so far? And it's so beautiful that you can think of it!" 1 pack (3 mackerel, salmon, 3 small sea bream, ￥420)

 Shimane Pavilion

http://www.shimanekan.jp/

Here, we listened to the stories of the directors of Shimanekan and sampled various kinds of chin controlled burn.

In Shimane Prefecture, the recognition of where is it on the map of Japan ... seems to be the worst place in Japan, and last year, he conducted a campaign to raise awareness in collaboration with NHK.

I had a good time listening to such various episodes!

  At Shimanekan, products and marine products using shijimi and shijimi, dairy products, Japanese sweets like Fumai Matsudaira, etc. are also sold abundantly.

I found it there ...

It is sake from former Prime Minister Takeshita Shoten's parents' home "Takeshita Shoten", and it is a sake labeled by former Prime Minister Takeshita and grandson DAIGO!

 

There was a marriage bag in the souvenir from Shimanekan ... I felt very warm.

I would like to report on this continuation in "VOL.2", I would like to say this (no one expects it).

 

 

 

On Sunday, 14th, the last day of the Tsukiji Lion Festival at Namishi Inari Shrine.
It's the festival of resurrection Edo.
The large lion, the Benzaiten tooth black lion, and the town council
The lion head travels around the town of Tsukiji.
 
The large ceiling lion, the Benzaiten Tookoku lion, are surprisingly large than when they were enshrined.
I thought there was the whole lion head, but it was unexpected that the back half was cut.

The main festival (Hokusai Festival) two years from this year, the 350th anniversary of the shrine
A variety of commemorative events are scheduled.
If you are interested, you will need to check regularly in the future.
