An event along the Sumida River Terrace, which became quite familiar in late September.
Riverside Autumn Festa.

The fifth year of this year was held on September 25 (Tuesday).

From Akashicho to Sakurabashi, there are four free water buses, announcements of children's drums, gifts of flower seedlings, and raffle.

In addition, there are many mock shops on the terrace full of liberation.

The annual baked steak, which is ashamed of Tsukiji's name, is baked one after another in the charcoal and charcoal smoke, which is proud of the beauty of the body.

This year, an Indian restaurant was also opened. The nan baked on the spot looked delicious.

In the evening, there are office workers who enjoy champagne and beer with tandori chicken and horse mackerel pickled in Nanban instead of children holding yo-yo.

It was a festival that everyone could enjoy, blowing in the autumn breeze.

Two years ago, when I recall other articles, it was like this. Have a good memory!

On September 19th, the above-mentioned town walking tour organized by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, it was raining lightly, and when I arrived in front of "Arara," and the meeting place "Ninben", a considerable amount of rain. All eight scheduled participants were present before the time. (It's a pity that two people canceled in advance and the magnification was nearly tripled.)

In front of the shop where the delicious smell of bonito stock drifted, I saw a party that seemed to be unavailable for a long time, and Mr. Oba, the manager of the store, guided me to the shop before opening. Thank you very much.

"Ninben" is a long-established long-established long-established store that has been founded in 1699 (1699) for 313 years, without any strangers in "hon dead bonito". Relocated in conjunction with the opening of Choledo Muromachi two years ago. "Katsuobushidashi" of "dashiba" of 100 yen was a big hit, and it sold 2,000 cups a day for a while. Due to the review of Japanese-style eating habits, bonito, one of the fermented foods, seems to have a strong demand.

I found something unusual. That "the earliest new year" is the Kiribus republic "Christmas Island Salt". It is sold as "salt suitable for Japanese food". (100g,525 yen)

It is said that DASHI BAR also uses this salt. I'm looking forward to using it. When it was whitened, I didn't recognize that bonito is the same fermented food as miso and soy sauce. We had a fun explanation such as a silver gift certificate issued in the 18th century, and went to the next visit "Eitaro".
It seems that rain has risen.

This was the first time Eitaro opened an independent store on the banks of Nipponbashinishi (current location) in 1857.

Mr. Nishiwaki is explaining in front of "Noren" at the entrance. "Sunshade noren" has many ink prints on a white background, but in Edo and Nihonbashi neighborhoods, "Kon norenren trademark" has never been noticed. The right is the "red cobblestone" on the left of the entrance. It seems that the first shop purchased what was in the Goto family in Koza. The lower part is "Gokage paving stone", which was used as a paving stone at the entrance to enter the shop from the road at the time of establishment. The history and the long-established stance of "customer first" are conveyed. Summer-like sweets using wasabian called "Amana sugar" and "Tamadare" using Sasage are sold out. I'm sorry. Today, I decided to buy a seasonal rice ball and a name money tsuba from the founding period.

The last visit is Mr. Yamamotoyama. It's already raining. When we arrived, cold tea was served in the table seat. It's an hour since I left, so when you've got a little dry. We are all impressed by the hospitality at the exquisite timing.

"Yamamotoyama" was founded in 1690 (1690). It was the first time that Kahei Yamamoto of Uji started selling tea in Edo Nihonbashi with the hope that "I want many people to taste the delicious tea of Uji because it is so delicious." At that time, this drink, which had begun to spread among the common people, was a huge hit. After that, the fourth generation improved "Sencha" and the sixth generation created "Gyokuro" to create and pursue quality, making the history of tea. What surprised me was that "Yamamotoyama" was the impression that "tea" and "nori" could not be cut, but it was in 1947 that "nori" started selling "nori". I noticed for the first time after hearing Mr. Chikira's explanation, but it is said that there is a laver shop at every station from Mitsukoshi on the Ginza Line to Ginza. Speaking of which, Kyobashi Station-Yamagataya-san, Mitsukoshi-mae-Yamamoto Nori, and Nihonbashi is Yamamotoyama-san.

Strangely, it is an assortment of "Edo Long-established Tour", a collaboration product of the three visiting courses today. I've seen it before in the introduction of new products in the newspaper, but the real thing is first. It seems to be selling well.

Some of the participants have participated in the "Town Walking Tour", and there are many questions to the shop, and those who participated for the first time while traveling said, "This Nihonbashi character is the 15th Shogun Yoshinobu. Some people were explained as "I wrote it" and "This shop is also lined up", and it seemed that they enjoyed it in a harmonious manner. I have become one of the shop-loving tourists rather than a guide again. It's a reflection. While listening to the explanation at the three stores this time, we heard that the development of new products adapted to the times along with classic products with a history, and renewed our recognition that Ryuishi is a "long-established" that lasts for centuries. It is up to you.

"Ninben" 2-2-1 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Cored Muromachi 1F　　　　TEL 0120-120-241

Eitaro, 1-2-5 Nihonbashi　　　　TEL 03-3271-7785

Yamamotoyama 2-5-2 Nihonbashi　　　　TEL 3281-0010　

 It is a "town walk tour" where you can get an episode of a shop that you can't know just by shopping on a daily basis, and a little bit of history that you want to teach to people if you know.

The application deadline for this long-established course 2 of the “Town Walking Tour” will be held once more this year, and must arrive on October 26 (Fri). Please see the website of Chuo-ku Tourism Association for how to apply and other courses. We still have some courses in time.

From September 13th (Thursday), the "Rose of Versailles" is being held at Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square.

It is said that Riyoko Ikeda started serializing in Shueisha's girl manga magazine Weekly Margaret in 1972 that it was called "40th Anniversary". In 1974, it was performed at Takarazuka Revue, and the "Bell Rose Boom" was ignited at once.

I went to the venue around 6:00 pm on the 13th, but it was a great success and I felt a strong popularity.

The items on display are manga manuscripts that were serialized, Takarazuka Revue costumes, posters and videos, original animation drawings, interviews with the original authors, etc. The event will be held until September 24 (Monday).

The 31st Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador, Miss Chuo's final round, was held on September 8 at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.
A lot of wonderful prizes lined up at the venue, I heard the voice of "I want it!"

By the way, it was time, Chuo-ku sightseeing ambassador, Miss Chuo candidate who gathered at the venue.　It's no wonder who is chosen.

By the way, there are 18 applicants who rejoined on the stage.　I'm sure his chest was battered.

Oh, the person who was called first did not dream that he would be chosen.

I would like to show you photos of the surprising scene, but let's respect portrait rights.
Helping the 30th Tourism Ambassador wear Tiara and Cape.
