Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Have you been to Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C. New Building, a hot spot opened on the 25th of last month?
It is unusual for a commercial facility, and there is a shop that opens at 7:30 in the morning on weekdays.
Many of them have a large selection of menus that can be taken out for breakfast and lunch.
This is a great point for people working in and around Nihonbashi.



That's why I stopped by before going to work for lunch.
About 10 people waited for the opening at the entrance of the ground floor, but I got the impression that there were few people waiting for the opening.
When you enter the store, there are so many people who come from the basement directly connected to the station.
Despite the fact that after 7:30, the first floor was crowded with many people at once, and some shops were lined up!


(The photo shows a fashionable cafe and street between the main building and the new building.)

This is the new building of Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C., which has many interesting shops.
What I was worried about this time was a coppe bread sandwich called SOY TIME, which is limited to KINOKUNIYA entrée (Kinokuniya Entre) here.
But it's not just a coppé bread sandwich!

Although it does not notice in appearance, nutritious soybeans are used.
Currently, 2 types of side dishes and 3 types of sweets are sold.
Sweets sandwiches use soy milk whipped cream.
It seems that it has a rich texture but has a light texture!



And this soy meat coppé bread (gapao style) I bought....
At first glance, it looks like a sticky side dish bread, but soy meat is used instead of meat.
(In the raw material label, it is written as "Stir-fried soybean processed basil flavor.")
Soy Meat is a processed soybean food made from nutritious soybeans.
It contains low lipids, high proteins, and even dietary fiber that is not found in meat, although it has a texture like eating meat.



Therefore, wouldn't it be satisfying for those who like meat?
Even those who are busy with work and tend to skip breakfast.
With this, you can buy it before going to work and take in protein well.
This is a recommended coppé bread sandwich that I would like to recommend to colleagues of the same age!

"Buyo-do" is a "map specialty store" where you can get most of the maps, such as old maps of the Edo period, Ino maps compiled by Tadataka Ino, and world maps.

　We went to explore whether there were any handkerchiefs or handkerchiefs for the pictures of Nihonbashi and Ginza.　Unfortunately, there were no two types, but around Edo Castle, east to the vicinity of Eitai Bridge in Fukagawa, west to the vicinity of Kaigyoji Temple in Yotsuya, north to the state of California, so to Hongo, south to Zojoji Temple in the south.

　In addition, we were able to obtain a clear file with the Toden operation route map printed with TOKYO1964 and initials.

If you search slowly, you will find a more interesting map.　

The address is 3-8-16 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, B2F, B2F.　Please take a look at it.

I irregularly provide tourist information for foreign customers, but I often receive requests to go to a 100 yen shop.　I couldn't find it very much in the Ginza area, so I was guided to the shops on the way to Meiji-jingu Shrine.　In the meantime, I found it!　There was a new 100-yen shop in Tsukiji!　This summer, the drugstore at Tsukiji 1-chome moved diagonally opposite, and the second floor became a 100-yen shop.　Tsukiji → You can stop by while traveling to Ginza, so you can shorten the time and improve efficiency and help.　The place is on the right hand side after entering Heisei-dori from Harumi-dori St. and passing Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School.

I have been asked by non-Japanese tourists that they would want to go to a dollar shop whenever I have done Tsukiji, Ginza tour guide infrequently. I was not fortunate enough to find an approriate spot around Ginza district, so I have always took them to a shop on the way to Meiji Jingu Shrine. But quite recently, I have found one! A drug store in Tsukiji 1-chome was relocated to the 1st floor of the building accross the street and a dolloar shop opened on the 2nd floor this summer. It became time effective and convenient for guests and myself that we can make a stop over to a dollar shop during Tsukiji → Ginza tour. The shop is along Heisei-dori street, right side after passing Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School from Harumi-dori street direction.
