　“Tokyo Island Market”

Take the Tsukiji 4-chome intersection at Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Harumi-dori St. toward Shimbashi, turn left at the next Ichiba Bridge intersection, Namikidori Street, and are on the right hand in front of the former Odabashi.

　　The shop is open with the president and staff who came from Izu-Oshima Island for half a year after opening.

　　What we sell is a product from the islands of Izu. In addition, all Ogasawara's items are rarely seen in Tokyo.

When you ask, it is said that wild plants and fresh fish are lined up depending on the season.

Also, if the ship is canceled due to storms or weather, it will not reach here.

　The president is a 300-year-old Kusaya manufacturer at Izu Oshima Haki Port.

There are saury dried saury in the store.

　I asked you to talk about the migration of Sanma, pointing to a map of Japan on the wall, explaining the flow of the Kuroshio Current between Oshima and Toshima Island, and that the west wind in winter does not blow Oshima thanks to Izu Peninsula.

　What arrived by boat today

　(Yamana) Then, tomorrow's bamboo shoots

　(Dried fish) These include flying fish and whisper of white horse mackerel.　

　Yesterday, the sea was rough on the island and there was no fresh fish.

　(processed products) So, the island chili seaweed karashi soy sauce island shochu camellia oil, etc., I just saw it for the first time.

　It seems that people in Chiba Prefecture buy a lot of seaweed for some reason.

　The president

　Why don't you take this to me a chili pepper?

　It's so spicy that tears come out.　

　He said with a smile that this is the taste of island peppers.

　Here Tsukiji Outer Market is different from the island.

　You said your business was too hard.

　He said that he would like him to taste "hard kusaya".

　　Sir

　When you visit Tsukiji Outer Market

　By all means

　At Tokyo Island Market

  Please enjoy the atmosphere of Izu.　

From March 1, 2013, two months have passed since the Suitengu Shrine in Nihonbashikakigaracho was relocated to the temporary shrine in Nihonbashihamacho (side Meijiza) 　following the rebuilding of the main shrine hall. Although it is a distance that can be reached on foot, do you know that you can use the free shuttle bus "Kohomaru" from the nearby Royal Park Hotel to Kayagu until the main shrine is completed? The service days are Dog Day and Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and weekdays. On the day of the Dog, special flights are available early on.

　In addition, "Koho Inu", which was set up in front of the left toward the precincts, is currently waiting for you near the escalator in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel (from the front entrance and left back).　

　Near the front desk, armor helmets were on display, sometimes at the time of the Dango Festival. On the first floor, which can be said to be the face of the hotel, which welcomes customers first, the gorgeous but solid decoration that changes with the season will delight users, but when there is time until the bus ride time, check out the shops and restaurants in the museum. Personally, I recommend bread and cakes that are sold only during the season on the first basement floor "Dericatessen Royal Delica".
　Some shops in the vicinity of Suitengu Shrine and Ningyocho offer products cheaper than usual only on the day of the dog, so why not buy Japanese sweets as souvenirs and return home?

　Well, I'll get on the "Kohomaru". There is only one step lower, but it is easier to ride. A video of the old Suitengu Shrine was also played inside the car. Departing from the hotel, from Suitengu Street, see off the old shrine hall on the right side of the Suitengu-mae intersection on Shin-ohashi-dori St. on Ningyocho Street and turn right at Ningyocho Intersection. Enter Koza-dori, pass the Hisamatsu Police Station on your left, turn right at the Hisamatsucho intersection and go to Kiyosubashi-dori. You will arrive at the temporary shrine in about 15 minutes. Many people came to pray for this day in Da'an, probably because of the climate exceeding 20 ° C. The timetable of the bus from the temporary palace to the hotel is posted near the entrance gate in front of the torii gate.

　If the weather is nice, it would be nice to take a walk on the nearby Hamacho Park and Sumida River Terrace by extending your legs.

Cross Kameshima Bridge from the Hatchobori intersection where Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Yaesu Street intersect, turn left at the first intersection, Kamejima Bridge, and Cafe Paulista on the right side along the road leading to Eitai-dori St. . From Kayabacho, cross Shin-ohashi-dori St. on the back of Shin-ohashi-dori, cross Shin-Kameshima Bridge and turn right at the "Ringishijima" intersection to the left side along the road. Many people may know the coffee shop in Ginza 8-chome, which is said to have been the etymology of <Silver Bra>, but this is a delivery center that also serves as a direct sales shop for Brazilian coffee beans of the same organization as that coffee shop.

When I was worried about the signboard I happened to see and approached the entrance of the building, there was a guide that says, "Coffee beans customers are free to enter." Beyond the door, a scene like a warehouse spread, and products were piled up on shelves for each customer.

It seems that two men are working. When I personally told me that I came to buy coffee beans, one person asked me what I liked and chose some products. In the meantime, the other person brewed several kinds of coffee for tasting, and it seemed that there was also a handling of dried fruits, almonds with shells, coffee bean chocolate, etc. I was able to taste it.

This time, I purchased 200g of "forest coffee" deep roast. As a bonus, he added coffee cream to me ^^

There is also an online shop.

However, we recommend that you purchase it directly when you go out nearby.♪
The purchased "forest coffee" was fragrant and heavy taste.
