The appetizer is a hors d'oeuvres with smoked salmon and herbs.　The sauce is made with vinegar and pungent, and I was impressed with hummus. Next, seafood dishes of sea bream and shrimp.　The sea bream was moderately grilled and it was very delicious.

Next, today's main dish came out. Beef meat stewed with madeira wine. (The picture is for 2 people. The reason is that no one was sitting in the front chair. )　The meat was so soft and delicious that the cheeks of the person who really eats seemed to fall.

 

The last dessert and coffee.　This is also for 2 people.　It was said that the dessert coffee babaroa is a special specification for Ginza restaurant week.　This coffee babaroa was really delicious. It was the most delicious babaroa in my life.　This restaurant Escofier is also called a "joy lunch menu" and costs ￥3,990 (including tax and service charge).　It is an easy French shop that makes you want to come again.

Don't miss it !  Reported by Ginzo

 

 

 

The Kizukinasai (Tsukinasai) 2012 will be held to commemorate the completion of the restoration of main hall at Tsukiji Honganji Temple and the registration of main hall andTangible Cultural Property walls.

 

○ Schedule Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11
○ Location: Tsukiji Honganji et al.
○ Contents: "Local product exhibition", "Yuru-chara large collection", "Panel exhibition", etc.

 

Personally, I am paying attention to the first "Ginza Parade" in the history of Yuru-chara, which will be held from 12:00 on the 10th (Sat).
Starting from the vicinity of the Sukiyabashi intersection, about 400 meters along the Harumi-dori St. to the Miharabashi intersection, about 50 loose characters, children, Buddhist monk, etc. parade.
Maybe that loose character that you are worried about will appear?
It seems that the children in the children's procession are still being recruited.

 

 

　At Wakamatsuya at Tsukiji 6-chome, an exhibition of works exhibited at "Marugoto Museum 2012" was prepared. I was in the way and put it in a little photo.　The exhibition and spot sale of the work are from October 30 to November 10.　I would like to introduce some of the items on display and sale.

It is said that this year has been 50 years since the Beatles were formed.

Do you know Marilyn Monroe is an actress?　Is Vintage sticking to the bottle?

Photos for souvenirs at travel destinations are also in a very retro bag and are interesting.

This event I'm looking forward to every year.

 

After all, as the title suggests, cultural events are held in various places in Chuo-ku, and the entire ward becomes a museum!

From the old days of Edo to the present, Chuo-ku, which has always been the center of Japan and has been at the forefront of the times while preserving tradition carefully.

On the day of the event, only the main ones, a city tour such as Ginza, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, etc., a tour of the head office of the Bank of Japan, and a tour of the gallery in Ginza.
There are plenty of things such as a rickshaw experience at concerts, a navel exhibition that introduces the industries in the city at the Harumi Flower Festival, and a meeting of Yagenbori talks.

In addition, on this day, a free bus and boat operate, and the Edo bus of the community bus will be free to enjoy Chuo-ku plenty.
Oh, Chuo-ku's stomach! I'm going to scream.
It's great for those who want to participate in events in Ginza and Nihonbashi, but want to go to Harumi too.

One of the most recommended is a free boat with three courses.

On the Akashicho Waterside Line Tour Route and the Hakozaki / Harumi Route, you can see the Rainbow Bridge and Sky Tree from a perfect place, and it is the best if the weather is nice!
The Nihonbashi tour route is a great opportunity to see the roads and bridges that you usually walk from above the water.
In the Edo period, it was actually used as an important water transport, so it may be a good idea to think about that era.

Most of the events that still have many are free (some are paid), but some require reservations in advance, and buses and ships have time to operate, so the "Marugoto Museum 2012" Please see the homepage, the announcement of the ward dated October 21, and the detailed pamphlets distributed at the facilities of the ward.

If you look at the pamphlet and think about where to go, you will be excited now!

 

 

 

We provide seasonal topics while visiting temples and shrines in the city, and we write articles in a good manner with poor ginseng. This is the second time.

 

Takenawa Aki. The town of Ginza, sung by "Enjoy City, the City of Love ♪" and "Tokyo Rhapsody", now has a very sorrowful color and has an atmosphere like an "adult town".

There is a famous "Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour" in Ginza. This course, which is enshrined here and there in the town of Ginza, visits Shinto and Buddha, is a recommended promenade where you can also enjoy a strict feeling as a silver bra. It is also introduced on the homepage of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, so please take a look. Visit Ginza Hatcho Shrine

One day I walked on this course near the evening. Each spot is unique and attractive, but this time I would like to introduce [Ryuko fudoson] from among them. As you know, the statue of Acalanatha is located on the premises of the Matsuya Ginza store and has been handed down since the Kamakura period.
Acalanatha is said to be the incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, the center of Esoteric Buddhism, and is a god of resentment derived from India, the birthplace of Buddhism. In addition, this Buddha has been told that it has benefited from "Ryuko" (favortex) due to the reading of its name, and it is said that the number of visitors to fashion-related people has increased. It's a story that makes sense in the town of Ginza.　[Photo 1: Ryuko fudoson]

Next, I would like to introduce [Successful guardian of children and travelers] on the Mitsukoshi Ginza store, which is the same line as Matsuya.
It was dug out in the early Meiji era from now being reclaimed [Sankuma Horikawa], and the name of "Successfulness" was dedicated to "Successfulness". It is believed that "If you do your best, you will always be able to communicate" and attract many religions. Jizo Bodhisattva is a Chinese translation of Sanskrit, which means "Buddha in the womb," and is said to save people as wrapping them in the womb. The image of everyday life is "Children's guardian angel".　[Photo 2: Success guardian of children and travelers]

Of course, there is also [Kagoya Inari Shrine] on the same department store Matsuzakaya. The Hatcho Shrine also includes seven Inari-sama companies. In the old days, "Edo specialty." Iseya, Inari had a somewhat dirty word of dog droppings.

As I learned from rakugo, it is exactly "Samurai, Bonito, Daimyokoji, Hirokoji, teahouse, purple, fire extinguishing, Nishiki-e." I'm in the middle of a fight with fire. Iseya, dog droppings in Inari. " I think it clearly expresses the hustle and bustle of Edo at that time. There was a company in the town here and there that contains Inari. By the way, it is said that the inclusion of "dog droppings" is a ridiculous for the "law of mercifulness".

In the Ginza area, the annual "Autumn Ginza 2012" will be held from 27th of this month to November 4th. As part of the event, "Good luck stamp rally" of "Ginza Hatcho Tour" will also be accepted from November 1 to 4. Why don't you go out in this refreshing season?

Now, as I walked in such a way, the dusk was approaching one day. Ginza Street is going to end.

In the past, there used to be a popular song called "Ginza of Tasore", but is Ginza a city that suits you at night?

When the passers-by to Twilight suddenly begins to show calm, I think that such urban scenery is also delicious.

The 27th of this weekend, when "Autumn Ginza 2012" begins, is "Thirteen Nights" (September 13, old calendar).
Since ancient times, Japanese have enjoyed watching the moon at this night, apart from the 15th night of August old calendar. It seems that "Thirteen Nights" is a custom unique to Japan that is not found in China. Isn't it a wind style to taste the moon just before the full moon as a "name moon"? It is probably the sensibility of the Japanese who have valued subtle "beauty".

 

"Autumn sun drops a fishing bottle" ... Please try "Gin Bra" while enjoying the change from sunset to night view. You will be able to meet the wonderful scenery.

The Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival has finally begun!

During the period from October 1st (Mon) to November 20th (Tue), there are a lot of events, including live performances, stamp rally and various events, and I can't wait to see this time every year!

Among them, what I am looking forward to is the "treasure hunting game".

Problem papers are distributed at stores and facilities in Chuo-ku, and based on the hints written there, search for the place where the treasure chest is placed.

There is always a story related to Edo, and this time, a clue to Ieyasu Tokugawa obtained and searched for "Yatoku's jewel" with Jan Jooss Ten as the guardian was found during the renovation work at Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, so search for "Hoju" based on that! Therefore, if you do not know the history, famous places and historic sites of Chuo-ku, you will not be able to easily reach the hidden places.

Last year, it was difficult not only to search for treasure chests, but also to unravel the encryption based on the keywords written there, and there were Braffs and fake treasure chests, so I was able to get along with people who were looking for hints and get closer to the geography in the ward, and met people who were looking in the same way at the place where the star was attached, and managed to get along.

This year, the total prize money and prizes will be 5 million yen! It's a big behaviour, so if you think it would be difficult, simply search for 8 keywords and OK!
I can't go around in one day, so I divide it into three times and complete the mission!

In order to walk all over the place, I also participated in stamp rally, an antenna shop in various places.

Of the 17 stores in total, 12 stores are eligible to apply for stamps, but all 17 stores are cleared at will.
It was just the time of new rice, so it was fun to see the naming of rice in various places.

The antenna shop stamp rally is closed on October 18 (Thursday), but the treasure hunt is open until November 4 (Sunday).
