Flower Festival at Daikanonji Temple

[Hanes] April 11, 2018 09:00

Hello. This is Hanes, a new correspondent.
How did you spend your weekend?
I went to the flower festival at Okanonji Temple (Nihonbashi Ningyocho), which I had been interested in since last year.
  
On this day, in addition to the special opening of the main deity, it was an opportunity once a year, so it was very crowded!

Pour sweet tea to Historical Buddha, enshrined in Hanamido, offering, gassho, and Ichirei.
The reason for pouring sweet tea is based on the legend that a dragon who appeared from heaven celebrated during the birth of Historical Buddha by pouring rain from above its head.

After that, I received a temple bulletin and a rice cracker, and drew a lot of the shopping street.

I was sorry for the lottery, but I received the hospitality of sweet tea and Japanese sweets, and tasted the first sweet tea in my life.
Sweet tea is made from a kind of hydrangea leaves, and sweetness is derived from natural sources....
When I actually drank it, the moment I drank it wasn't so sweet, but
It was a mysterious but gentle tea that felt sweetness with aftertaste.

Spring-like Japanese sweets with strawberries on both sides of the cherry blossom rice cake are very satisfying to eat.
The bean paste was a less sweet finish that enhances the goodness of other ingredients, and it was delicious.
Thank you for your feast
  
There is a quaint street next to this temple, and a disaster prevention well is also installed.
Personally, it is also one of my favorite places in Chuo-ku.

Ningyocho, including amazake Yokocho, is still an area where historical shops remain.
There is no doubt that you will be able to experience the history and culture of the land while walking around the city and meet delicious food.

"Picture Book Goho Qu"-April Kabukiza Theater, who works in the first generation of Nizaemon Issei

1. April 6, 2018 18:00

100_2716.JPG 100_2717.JPG

The picture book law Qu, where Nizaemon Kataoka works for the first generation, is a masterpiece of Nanboku Tsuruya, commonly known as the "Taheiji of the Position", an enemy attack in which the evil people are active . It has been performed several times at the National Theater Shochiku Theater, but it is the first time at Kabuki Theater. The actors are also breathing in the "Team Picture Book Law Qu", which is almost the same as the previous one. This is the last time you can see the two roles of Dainosuke and Taiheiji, where Nizaemon plays, and the audience seats are full. Dainosuke Saegusa, who is inexperienced to embezzle the house, and Taihei, the two violent townspeople who give him, continue to kill plot and cruel murder, and all the enemy's clans return, what is the end?

 

This villain, Daisuke Taiheiji, is played by Nizaemon. Nizaemon, who has many second roles, says in an interview, "It's bad to play and enjoy." Certainly, the expression of "Nitari" as if you are enjoying killing is amazing. This stage is also supervised, but if you look at the sharp and light movements, this month's "first generation, performing" may be "an actor aesthetic", but as a fan, "I can still do it" There is no remnant saying "I want you to show it again."

 

The day part is also called "Saigo and Katsu", which is commemorated in 2017, and "Ura front and back generations Hagi", where Kikugoro plays Futaki Dansei and the bad party of care, Kosuke for the first time in 23 years, "Omote" is a famous Gitayu Kyogen "Kara Predai Hagi" and "Ura" are killers and a combination of Kosuke. This is also something to see. I'm looking forward to next week. I have to look at the night part again. Mr. Shochiku, would you like to sell coupons?

 

For inquiries about tickets on April 26, Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570 - 000-489 (10:00 to 18:00)

Please note that the evening show starts at 16:45.

After all, "On Ga" had an impact, and when I visited the person who came to the gallery directly, it was my first solo exhibition, so it was also the birth of a baby, and in Buddhist terms, `` I will do what I should do in the future '' It is said that it was named because it had a sense of determination with the determination.

In addition, Mr. Oki said that if he was going to do a solo exhibition, he had decided to be Ginza, and he spoke with a smile about holding his first solo exhibition at "Gallery Ginza".

As the person says, "I hope you will feel the world of energy, joy, love, and a world with unattractive, unpowered, free lines and a sense of freedom." It is just a work.

"Nihonbashi Sakura Festival 2018" 2-A lot of delicious food "Nihonbashi Sakura Yatai" ~

[Edamame] April 2, 2018 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

DSC_2885-1.jpg

For two days, March 31 (Sat) and April 1 (Sun), around Fukutoku Shrine in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

"Nihonbashi Sakura Yatai" was held!

DSC_2877-1.jpg



This event is also one of the Nihonbashi Sakura Festival 2018.

It was very busy.

That should be the case.

This is because the famous shops in Nihonbashi open "Stall rice" in each of them.

It's nice to be able to easily enjoy the taste of the shop that usually stretches a little.

The Edamame family also visited to find delicious food at lunchtime.


First of all, here.

DSC_2879-1.jpg

At the stall at the "Ninben Nihonbashi Dashiba Hanare" store

DSC_2881-1.jpg

360 yen "I'm sorry" and 500 yen "Honkatsuobushidashi Wakatake Bowl"

This is my favorite of my daughter Azuki (2 years and 9 months)! It's a coincidence.

In particular, the young bamboo bowl has plenty of vegetables, large bamboo shoots and seaweed!

It was nice that the soft boiled vegetables were very easy to eat even for small children.

It was a very satisfying menu.

Next is the opening of the famous soba restaurant "Muromachi Sandbox".

DSC_2887-1.jpg

"Sobagaki Dengaku" is 300 yen per skew.

DSC_2890-1.jpg

There were two types, miso sauce version and koshian version.

I didn't have a chance to get soba noodles, and it was rare.

If it is shaped like a skewer, it is delicious and easy to eat in such a place.

The taste of miso calms down after all.


In addition, "Dashimaki Tamago Sand" I ate last year.

There are various shops such as "Utsunomiya Gyoza".

No matter how many stomachs I had, it was not enough.

The climate is good and it feels good to eat rice outside.

DSC_2884-1.jpg

I was able to enjoy the festive atmosphere.

There are quite a lot of customers with children.

It was a perfect event for family outings on weekends.


I'm very quick, but I'm looking forward to next year.
