I participated in the "First Mountain Feast Honpo Fukushima regional cuisine Classroom" at 11:30-13:00 on the morning of January 26, 2019 at the Nihonbashi Fukushima Tachi MIDETTE. The morning and afternoon section of the 27th 14: 30-16: 00-2 days was held four times in total, with a participation fee of 1,500 yen, but with souvenirs (1 mountain feast Honpo's special five-moku rice 1 digit 2-day festival glutinous rice) It was a very reasonable project and full of great value.

Lecturer was Masayo Masuko (President of Yamano Feast Honpo). Here are some comments from the flyer.

"Fukushima, where I live, is full of wonderful ingredients. Isn't the most delicious way of eating ingredients a local cooking method? In this classroom, I want to convey the tips of how to make it in an easy-to-understand manner while communicating peacefully. "Gomoku Okowa" and "Imo broth" are also popular "Ika Ginseng"! No preservatives are used. Safe and delicious pickles and sales are also available!

“Yamayama Honpo” 9 character 9 Yamachiso 3-53 Shirakawa-go, Fukushima Prefecture Myoga,tsuri-machi 67-1 TEL & Fax0247-46-3872

"Gomoku Okowa" popular menu of the leading role that is delicious even when cooled with solid flavor using sticky rice from the festival. ※It seems that the trick is to soak the taste into the ingredients.

Steam 2 sho of glutinous rice in a pot. It seems that steamed glutinous rice is the best!

When making at home, I taught the recipe in 2 go.

One burdock bamboo grass, one ginseng shredded, one shiitake mushroom, one shredded, one 100g small chicken, soak in one liquor size, and prepare two shredded fried oils.

Put 1 salad oil in a pan, add the drained burdock and fry over high heat. When it becomes soft, add carrots, shiitake mushrooms, chicken-soy sauce large 3, mirin large 1, sake large 1, and fry the whole.

Add 2 cups of soup stock (400cc) and fried oil, and cook for 5 minutes while removing the acne.

Rush the ingredients and soup stock with a colander and drain the water.

Soak glutinous rice in water for 30 minutes, drain the water, and add the divided broth to a scale of 1.5 go (add water if not enough)

Rice cooked‼

Mix the ingredients evenly. At this time, the trick is to cut the rice scoop vertically so that the rice grains are not crushed.

It looks delicious. The taste was the best. Oh, I've replaced it.

"Imoni soup" Delicious sweet potato soup with plenty of umami containing taro and burdock

It's already ready. The big taro was soft and very delicious. The menu is perfect for cold winter, and the body and mind are warmer. Add yuzu miso or habanero miso to improve the grade of taste.

There were a lot of tastings to increase my appetite.

I liked the crispness of the radish!

Sashimi konjac (with yuzu miso) and squid ginseng as well as Fukushima specialty products, the original taste of the mountain feast Honpo was recommended.

I had strawberries (Tochiotome) for dessert. I was filled with my stomach and I was filled with happiness.

It was the first time, so I would like to look forward to it next time. Please join us. In addition to receiving souvenirs, we also received recipes and ballpoint pens, and a column article file by Masuko of Fukushima Mimpo-sha "Minpo Salon". At the Nihonbashi Fukushimakan, I purchased the Yama Feast Honpo products-Yamitsuki radish (324 yen), squid carrot (432 yen), and yuzu miso (270 yen) and returned. I'll try the menu that I received the recipe at home.

I read the column of Fukushima Mimpo-sha's "Minpo Salon" to learn about Masuko's thoughts, and I was more and more attracted by personality. I thought it was a side dish shop (Tsukudani / pickles), but he seems to make a lot of handmade and additive-free products such as bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, burdock tea, yuzu miso, sashimi konjac, etc., mainly in the cultivation of raw wood shiitake. . It seems that the 84-year-old mother is also active. Masuko cooks every day from 8:00 to 12:00 p.m., and sells freshly made products the next day. I am glad to have you deliver safe and secure ingredients.

During the meal, they also showed a DVD and slide show of Yamatsuri-cho, Fukushima Prefecture. For the first time, I learned that it is a very good town blessed with nature such as mountains and rivers. He also told me that the river is a famous production area for sweetfish fishing and yuzu. I felt so attractive that I wanted to go there. Please check the information on Yamatsuri-cho homepage http://www.town.yamatsuri.fukushima.jp/page/dir000045.html.

(With the consent of Masayo Masuko, President of Yamano Feast Honpo, and Makoto Kobayashi, Deputy Director of Nihonbashi Fukushimakan, I wrote articles and photos.)

 

 

At the Megumi Ogita Gallery, a gallery located on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building, Ginza 2-chome, there is a two-person exhibition "normal activity" by Brian Leo, who works as writers based in New York, and Alfredo Martinez.

The period is from Friday, January 25 to February 9 (Sat).

The time is from eleven o'clock to nine o'clock.

Days, months and holidays are closed.

Brian Leo's work is a pop depiction of what you see everyday in New York.

Depending on the artist's intention, it is spectacular that bright pink back works are displayed side by side in a row.

Leo, who was strongly influenced by pop culture, looks at society from the inside and continues to challenge the expansion of "areas that painting can convey".

Another writer, Alfred Martinez, appears to be quite scanned, according to the gallery's website.

The canvas of the gun series on display this time seems to have been made of books and newspapers because the use of ink and paper was restricted while he was in charge of plagiarism ().

There, I draw a gun with a pen or coffee shell.

The gun depicted is colorful, powerful, solid, and has a presence.

Thank you for your understanding of the photography in the gallery, and this time again, he explained the purpose of this two-person exhibition.

Thank you very much

It is a topic that has just changed the year and is too early, but it is an introduction of the end-of-year purchase at Tsukiji Outer Market. It seems that there are many people who want to go but do not understand well, so it is easy, but we will deliver the situation of the site and how to enjoy it.

The date is 12/30. There are plenty of items on sale, from seafood, meat, seaweed, roast beef, kejan and chestnut kinton, a restaurant purveyor to daily necessities. Each store opens around 5 o'clock in the morning, so you can move quickly if you go out of the hall just before and grab the intuition of each street while wandering around. The actual outside is not so big. There are a lot of shops there.

It is very crowded after the sun rises, so we recommend the time from early morning to sunrise. You don't have to worry about selling out. Also, there is a mysterious uplift that a large number of people are on the market during this time. It's fun to come to Yokai's night market. There is a parking lot, but it's congested, so it might be better to leave to get there early or ask a driver.

In addition to the purchase, there are also pleasures of eat-in. There are a wide variety of things such as Kuansu sushi and ramen at dawn. The complex Tsukiji Fish Bank Restaurant Floor is open at 7:00 in the morning. There is also a delicious shop here!

Every egg-yaki shop is a large line of prosperity, but there are shops that can be bought early in the morning even if you don't make a reservation. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to line up. As expected, the shop is also quick! The 100 yen egg skewers are sold normally.

At present, the hall is completely closed and cannot be entered. Until last year, I was free to enter and exit, and I was able to see the sunrise rising to Tokyo Bay from the hall.

It is not recommended for those who are not good at crowded places because there are many crowds, but if you go early, you can enjoy watching around without stress. After shopping, I think it would be refreshing to go home after watching the sunrise rising at Namiki Inari Shrine, Kachidokibashi, Tsukiji Honganji, etc.

As mentioned above, it was a simple and rush, but it was an introduction of the year-end purchase at Tsukiji Outer Market. Please come and visit us at the end of 2019. It's fun!

At the Environmental Information Center Exhibition Space in the Kyobashi Environmental Station on the 6th floor of Tokyo Square Garden in Kyobashi 3-chome, the “24th Setsuki 72 Exhibition in Life” is currently being held.

The period is from Wednesday, December 19 to Wednesday, January 30 last year.

The time is from 9 o'clock to 21 o'clock.

twenty-four season old calendar is an old classification that divides the year into 24 minds according to the movement of the sun, such as "Riharu", "Keihaku", "Akibun" and "Winter Solstice".

In the case of "Ritsuharu", which divides twenty-four season old calendar into three more days, "The first weather" is "East wind, about 5" is "East wind, about 5" is "Uguisu", "Uguisu" is "Uguisu". The meanings are "the east wind begins to melt thick ice," "the ugly begins to squeal in the mountain village," and "the fish pops out between broken ice."

Looking at this "24 seasons 72nd exhibition", I strongly feel that our ancestors have successfully incorporated seasonal changes into their daily lives.

The wisdom of Japanese people is introduced in an easy-to-understand manner with photographs and illustrations, and is displayed on panels in the space.

There is also a quiz inside the exhibition, so it is also a content that you can think and enjoy.

This time, we received your consent for photography in the space.

Thank you very much

For the second time today, let's introduce the rehearsal scenery of the junior high school section "Kibikicho Wakabaza".

(Click here for the previous article ⇒ /archive/2019/01/part.html)

　

Students who have completed the “ume”, “bamboo” and “pine” courses of “Terakoya” by the sixth grade of elementary school, and are proceeding to the junior high school section are completely different from the elementary school class because they grow fast at this time. The performance is "Fujimusume" male "Kotobuki Soga face-to-face".

　

"Fujimusume" is said to dance one song with four people. I just saw Umeeda and Kotaro's "Two Fuji Musume" last December, but you can make various versions. The guidance of the teachers, "Don't be distracted," "I'm going to be a Fujimusume until the end," and "The fan is fluffy."

　

"Kotobuki Soga face-to-face" is only 7 boys. The cast will be replaced with two types, one that is often performed in Tokyo and one that is often performed in Kansai.

　

When the instructor enters the rehearsal hall, the air in the room tightens in an instant. I didn't care about it, too. As Suketsune Kudo's role, "Today's Yukei is going to work together with Ichitta," the two instructors are very busy when the voice of going well begins. Detailed attention, such as "Be careful about the tempo of the line" and "Think who you are talking to" fly. How to hold smoke tubes, manners where you can see swords, etc. It's a serious and passionate instruction. As you know, it is a play of "Kabuki's role large collection", which includes Goro of Arashi, Juro of Japanese affairs, Asahina of clowns, as well as the role of Oiso's tiger and female form, but "Is it a strange period?" It is useless to worry about extra things, it is a whole and uncomfortable work.

　

The instructors and staff of the guidance seem to be in charge from the time of enrollment, and realize the solid growth of the students who know from an early age, such as "That child who could not sit straight ..." It looks like you are. It is a performance by students who have learned the fun of Kabuki by themselves, so it is guaranteed that the audience will be able to experience "Kabuki, Fun!" Please go out with your family. The lessons with enthusiasm continue. I'm really looking forward to the stage of the day.
