Last year, for the first time, I went on a tour of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods with my dog, and thanks to my family, I was able to stay healthy for a year.

This year, I went around Seven Lucky Gods with a dog on New Year's Day.

④　Matsushima Shrine

The seasonal feature, the 35th "Ginza Old Book Market", which has become an annual event, will be held in January.

The previous year, those who purchased in this city seemed to receive a catalog with a catalog of old books, and this catalog arrived.

This catalog itself is beautiful (the inside is almost color ()), thanks and thanks.

The place is Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza.

The period is from Wednesday, January 16 to 21 (Mon).

In addition to old books, there are also works of art, such as books and ukiyo-e, that make it fun just by looking at them.

From December 26 to 28 in the New Year, there was a year-old market around Yagenbori fudoson in Higashinihombashi. The year-on-ichi has continued since the Edo period, and it was once called the year-on-ichi that paid since Fukagawa Hachiman, Asakusa Kannon and Yushima Tenjin and ended in Yagenbori fudoson in December. Right next to it is Ryogoku Hirokoji Temple, which was one of the best places in Edo, and in the past it seems that stalls sold New Year's goods such as Hagoita and shime decorations, but now the location of the wholesale district and winter clothes are at a reasonable price.

　

　

　

There is also a monument of the old city in the precincts of fudoson.

　

There is also a monument commemorating the birth of the talk in the same place.

　

It is said that the talk originated from Tsuji Kosha at Ryogoku Hirokoji during the Edo period, and from such a connection, on the evening of the last day of the city on the evening of the last day of the city, many lecturers gathered at the memorial service of Zhang fans used in the talk. It was done in front of the monument. After homa was cooked and read, the participants wrote the wish on the fan-shaped paper and put them in the fire of homa for the best of next year.

　

Then, in front of the gate, under the name of Tsuji Kosha, the current lecturers showed the change of Honnoji Temple and a seat of Miyamoto Musashi.

　

It was cold because it was an outdoor event, but I bought alcohol and hot drinks at the stalls and enjoyed the warmth.

Now, the talk seems to be a boom, but it has a different taste from rakugo, and there are many things that deal with historical celebrities, so it is also a study. In Yagenbori fudoson, it seems that a meeting is held about once a month. Edo Nihonbashi-tei in Nihonbashi is located in a theater where you can easily go to Chuo-ku. From New Year's Day, he will have the first meeting of the Kodan Association. Why don't you visit the entertainment hall once because it is a traditional performing art originated in Chuo-ku?

 

 

There are only a few left this year. When I was a child, many kites flew in a nearby field during the New Year, and I was looking forward to flying kites. Have you seen such a sight in the river’s edge of the Sumida River? The Japan Kite Association was established in 1969 with kite lovers from all over the country. The founder was Shingo Shigeki, the late Taimeiken, a long-established Western-style restaurant in Nihonbashi. On the 5th floor of Taimeiken, there is a rare "Kite Museum" where various kites are displayed.

　　

Shingo Modeki is the first president of Taimeiken, and loves kites since childhood. More than 3,000 kites have been collected, and the hall is full of kites with walls and ceilings. The exhibition is an original Edo kite, and the Edo kite was born in the Edo period from the common people and samurai under the isolation of the country.

　

A kite market will also be held on Saturday, December 29. Why don't you buy your favorite kite this year and fly it in the New Year's sky? This is the state of Kite City last year.

　　

Kite City is from 10:00 to 15:00 on Saturday, December 29, 2018.　　

Held 　　　　　　at Tokyo Bell Sarh Nihonbashi Tower Square.

Kite Museum 1-12-10 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, 5th floor of Taimeiken

　　　　　　　11:00 ~ 17:00 Closed on Sunday and public holidays

　

 

 

There were a lot of events at Mie Terrace in December. 2nd (Sun) Mushroom Chocolat Workshop, 8th (Sat) Leverage Sushi Cooking Class, and 20th (Sat) Full Tart Making Experience.

2nd (Sun) Mushroom Chocolat Workshop 2,000 yen

Mushroom Advisor, Director, Research and Development Office, Immunology Research Associate, Graduate School of Medicine, Mie University, Dr. Etsuko Harada, Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Agriculture, gave a lecture on knowledge of mushroom nutrition and chocolate.

I compared the drinking of hot chocolate containing mushroom soup and hot chocolate not. What a surprise, hot shakora with mushroom soup was rich and definitely delicious.

Finally, mushroom chocolate was made, and the teacher was taught by patissier Yukiyo Inagaki, Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, "Sweet Classroom Shukure". It seems that it was today's recipe in pursuit of the deliciousness of mushroom chocolate with mushroom adviser Etsuko Harada. He told me the secret of deliciousness with great strength that it was in the place where dried mushrooms were steamed to make soup stock. Moreover, the mushrooms were large mushrooms that were raised by farmers in Tsu City with great care.

For the first time, we received mushroom chocolate and mushroom flavored macaron and mushroom sweets with coffee. The flavor of mushrooms spread in my mouth and it was very delicious. In today's workshop, I didn't think mushrooms would match so much with sweets. I'm completely absorbed in the charm of mushroom chocolate. From now on, I became a mushroom fan and enjoyed matching mushroom juice with various things.

　

8th (Sat) Leverage sushi cooking class 500 yen

The general of Ise-Shima-Tabi Ryokan

"Ogami Ryokan" This was the first time that the general of Funakoshi, Daiomachi, Shima City, 1093, 0599-72-2201 saw a dish of Ise shrimp living with wonderful kitchen knives.

It was decorated beautifully in no time. It's beautiful! Participants made a special taste of this Japanese spiny lobster. The liver was sweet and delicious. I returned home with a Japanese spiny lobster shell as a souvenir, and enjoyed the taste of Japanese spiny lobster, which is usually expensive and hard to put in my mouth. It was a happy day.

Mr. Ama divers of Shima taught me "Line Sushi". It seems that this name was given because it kneads by hand.

Today's fish are bonito. It is said that fish cook fish caught in Shima, such as sea bream, at home to make lever sushi. It is said that if you topped large leaves and ginger on top of lever sushi, it will be colorful.

Today, Mr. Ama divers's plan is to mix it with sushi rice instead of topping on sushi rice. I wanted to have plenty of bonito, so I became so many bonitos. I'm happy.

Rather than kneading, it was to put the bonito on the vinegared rice. There is a trick to sandwich the bonito evenly with the rice grains standing up. As expected, Mr. Ama divers's hand was wonderful, and I was impressed by the skill that he usually makes two shone sushi.

I was able to make 10 people in one tub. We carefully divided the bonito into lunch boxes so that the amount of bonito was equal.

It's a masterpiece. Finished sushi. After that, I just got it. It was really delicious. The amount of sushi vinegar seems to be different in each household, but today Mr. Ama divers is making it sweet. It seems that Ama divers's sushi is sold only on Saturdays and Sundays at fishing ports. It was really delicious. It was the first time that I had a sushi roll.

"Ise-Shima's Ama divers hut experience facility Satoumian We are waiting for you at 2279 Koshiga, Shima-cho, Shima-shi, 0599-85-1212." They say they cook fresh seafood in the Ama divers hut. Please come by all means. The smiles of Mrs. Ama divers were very beautiful.

Mr. Ama divers says that Ise-Shima is the most common in Japan, but there is no nasty and no one has increased for 10 years. It is said that those from the minimum age of 40 to the active age of 80 are diving in the sea from October to March and fishing. I hear you are recruiting Mr. Ama divers. If you are interested, please ask the Ama divers hut in Shima.

New Year's decorations Shinto straw festoon wreath making experience 500 yen and tart corner

The same teacher as the mushroom chocolate making teacher, Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, "Sweet Classroom Shukure" patissier Yukiyo Inagaki taught me.

It seems that Mr. Yukiyo Inagaki came to Tokyo and baked the dough with blueberries three days ago.

After explaining the procedure, I finally started making it. Cut the fruit and decorate it. He told me the trick that if the fruit was placed diagonally against the surface and placed on the tart dough, it would look delicious.

Instead of glue, the custard Rihm is left in an arc and the tube is pushed out in a spiral shape.

Well, it's finally the decoration. I aimed for 6 equal parts, considering how to decorate the image when cutting it.

I mainly made strawberries. Next, I was absorbed in the fun work of cutting and arranging kiwis, persimmons, and mandarin oranges in the order.

If you arrange fruits so that they do not come out of the hall, and if you pile up high in the center of the circle, it will look cool when you stabb the merry Christmas pick later.

Tart using plenty of delicious fruits!! I said that it was more delicious than the tart sold at the store, and I enjoyed the joy of making myself. Strawberry tea also had a fruity aroma and matched the cake very well.

I hope everyone will enjoy delicious workshops and cooking at Mie Terrace. You seem to be thinking about a lot of projects in 2019. I want you to look forward to it!
