Hatchobori's “Nikomaru (250 yen) lunch box”

[Apricot peony] June 25, 2012 08:30

When I walk outside at noon, I see a lot of lunch boxes sold here and there.
The menu is full of ethnic styles in Japanese, Western and Chinese.
As for the price, a one coin (500 yen) lunch box came out a little ago, and if you thought it was terrible, a thank-you (390 yen) lunch box appeared immediately, and it was a reasonable content, so inflation bubble I'm sorry that it's really good for the generation who experienced it.


However, if I was surprised at the thank you (390 yen) lunch box, there was even more!

Near the Keika Square in Hatchobori, the name of the shop is "Nikomaru (250 yen) Bento" in Z Bali. What, more than 10 kinds of lunch boxes are all 250 yen! !

On this day, I bought an Italian hamburger lunch box.

Along with lettuce, a hamburger with tomato sauce, and the side dish is fried chicken, fried shrimp, fried egg, and pickles. There is also a solid amount of rice, and it is enough if it is not an extra gutsuri system.


ck1203_1206222.jpgIn addition, there are a wide variety of menus such as ginger grilled, vinegared pork, meat and potatoes, grilled fish, roast cutlet, chicken nanban, etc., so there are regulars, but I don't get tired of it every day.
At lunchtime, there must have been a lot of people at the cash register, and there must have been a lot, but it is convinced that it will be sold out in no time.



ck1203_1206221.jpg
The reason why it's delicious and so low is that the headquarters in Urayasu is a fresh supermarket, fresh ingredients are available cheaply, and rice is also self-milled, and efforts are made to cut down costs infinitely. That's right.

It's really a great friend for your wallet.


However, business hours are short from 11:00 to 13:00.

Please note that is absent on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.


 

 

Koransha's lovely porcelain celebration

[Silver] June 19, 2012 08:30

My granddaughter was born and I was looking for a gift to return. Pay attention to the selection, as it is a memorable item that will return the amount you receive with the appropriate item. At that time, I remembered Koransha, who was supporting the "Samurai Blue" of the World Cup South Africa tournament two years ago.

Immediately after entering the store, there is a black bamboo pottery. The splendid tableware is said to have been used for tableware at famous hotels. I've noticed, but I chose the budget and memorable items.

 There are many artistic products in the store, and it's fun just to appreciate it. Today, I registered as a member and got a 10% discount on the spot.happy01 I was happy about this.

I went to a decorative roller (panda) cooking class.

[kimitaku] June 13, 2012 14:00

SUSIUKETUKE.jpgIn late May, at the Tsukishima Social Education Center.
A cooking class for sushi was held.
Go to the venue, finish the reception, and go to the kitchen.


The smile of the girl at the reception is wonderful and patili


SUSIKAIJYOU.jpgWhen I look around, I'm the only man. I'm sorry.


The instructor's teacher smiled and came a lot, a word.
I sat on my chair with some relief.


SUSIKOME.jpgFirst of all, learn how to cook rice.

To save time, use rice already cooked. If you use sushi, you can do it without fail.

I would like to stir the sushi rice with spatula.

"Use half of the bitsu and mix, transfer to the other hand again ..." It seems that some food will probably need the elements of arithmetic.


SUSIRYUU.jpgAt first, rose sushi, ... (not rose sushi)

As shown in the picture, the sushi rice and ingredients are arranged evenly. 

If you imagine something, it feels like you are playing with toys ...?

Wrap carefully and cut with a kitchen knife.


SUSIBARA.jpgThe trick to cutting sushi is to carefully wet the cutting edge of the kitchen knife with water and cut it at once.As an amateur, I am hesitant, I can't cut it well, just like a saw It's like

However, the finished sushi somehow has a flower pattern. I'm happy.

Thank you very much for your praise.


Next is panda sushi

Half the 200 grams of sushi rice, half of it is slightly larger on one side and wrapped around seaweed. The size of the seaweed is different depending on the amount of rice wrapped in seaweed.


I think it's quite necessary to rotate the head.

SUSIMAKIKATA.jpgAlso, for the first time, I learned that seaweed has vertical eyes and horizontal eyes. ・・ ・ I'm shy. Wrap each one to make your eyes and ears.

"The panda's eyes are droops," and spread two eyes in the middle of the sushi rice with laver.


SUSIPANDAMAKIKATA.jpg

Wrap this is very hard, not tight, not loose, and soft. I rolled it seriously so that I could not hear the noise.

Cut a large black seaweed roll, wet the kitchen knife, and cut it.

When opening it, the feeling of opening it is the feeling of opening the Tamate box.

It may be the feeling of a potter's kettle.

How is my child, Panda?

I did it. But failure, half-faced panda, embarrassing, I can't take a picture.

"The trick to make it well is the end" ... shame? That's not true.

In order to make seaweed sowing, the middle is thick and thin is NG ...

"If not, the ingredients will not be distributed to those who eat the edges." ・That's right.

SUSIPANDA.jpg  As expected, the teacher made it

It feels like the panda is smiling in the spring sunshine.

The finished sushi was taken home, tasted together, and delicious.

  

In Chuo-ku, we hold various cooking classes happily.

It seems that everyone can participate.

Using your head for a relaxing time, the “decorative sushi” classroom may be interesting.

  The man was me alone, but even for me who is unfamiliar with cooking, I was able to make fine panda sushi and rose sushi, and next time it is "Anpanman" in mid-June.

―Japan was released in 1926, but the excitement I gave to a young Japanese film at that time was great, and for example, Akira Kurosawa and others counted this work as one of the excitement of youth who made this film aspirations for film.―

 

I saw it a little earlier last week.

Gold and silver foil powder Asano Shoten

[Silver] June 6, 2012 15:00

I visited Asano Shoten, which handles gold leaf and gold powder from Ginza 8-chome and Namiki-dori St. On the company's website

As part of the expansion of the business of Tokyo Ginza Otaya Asano Shoten, a wholesale gold and silver foil powder manufacturing wholesaler founded in 1887, the company's precious metal products wholesale division became independent. At present, we are planning various products to offer the traditional beauty of Japan, such as elegant gold leaf crafts, oil removal paper using genuine gold leaf cast paper that has been prized as makeup paper with superior absorption since ancient times, glossy lacquer jewelry, and gold folding screens that you want to use casually. There is an introduction. The local information magazine "Ginza 15th Street" NO.179 describes the difficulties of the current president, Hiroshi Watanabe, who took over the family business with his third daughter from working at a construction company. Like old knowledge, I was kind and kindly guided around the store.

CIMG0528.jpg

It is a product of Kinmaki-e depicting luxurious fireworks. It's wonderful.

CIMG0534.jpg

It is said that the company's gold powder was also used to restore Hiraizumi's golden hall. Products closely related to daily life are also available. This is a compact for women. I wonder if I'll give it to my wife next time.

CIMG0539.jpg 

There was also a sticker that puts such a simple gold leaf. It's "Utsushi Kin Makie". Let'sfuji do our best!

CIMG0538.jpg 

In the store, there was literally a "gold signboardshine" at the time of its founding. The president has a deep knowledge of art, and today the "Suzuki Gotake Book / Engraving Small Product Exhibition" was held.  There are a lot of affordable items, so we recommend silver. Please come and visit us once.

Pokkin chopsticks and straps with pure gold leaf are perfect for celebration seats and easy gifts.

[Silver] June 2, 2012 08:30

The Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Association has been creating a map of information in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of 2010 since the formation of the union in 1890. I found it stuck in my bag all the time and said, "This is a fun city walkrun! "And I started visiting the shop. Among the 38 member stores, like "Ginza Akebono", the Futaba family of Tsukuda 2-chome, said that the name of the store was decided in hope of a "new dawn of Japan" shortly after the war, It is fun to know the origin of the shop, such as 1868. The franchised stores include Ningyo-yaki Honpo Itakuraya, Eitaro Sohonpo, Judo, Bunmeido Nihonbashi, Mihara Domoto, Irifune Aoyagi, Nishi Hatchobori Aoyagi, Shiose Sohonke, Seigetsu Domoto, Tokyo Fugetsudo, and Ginza Matsuzaki store.

The good thing about raw Japanese sweets is that you can enjoy beautiful and delicious with seasonal flowers and fruits. It's a bit different. It seems that this season has Japanese iris and sweetfish.

I feel happyhappy01 when I relax at home with astringent tea. Perfect for gifts and souvenirs in Tokyo.
