One-day wholesaler opening day (Oedo wholesaler festival)

[Tachibana] Nov. 27, 2015 09:00

This year, the day when we can shop at wholesalers is approaching.
 

9:00 to 16:00 on Sunday, December 6

  

The location is Yokoyamacho Bakurocho Shindo-dori, right away from the JR Sobu Express Line "Bakurocho", Toei Shinjuku Line "Bakuroyokoyama", and Toei Asakusa Line "Higashinihombashi".

I wrote it every year, but on this opening day, the wholesaler opens his own shop and sells it at the wholesale price, so you can purchase the quality with confidence. In addition, nearby wholesalers who do not belong to the Shindo Street Association also open the shop, so you can find a bargain in unexpected places.
 

If you have a convenience, why don't you come to see it once?
  

You can see the participating wholesalers here.

The last year of Tsukiji Market

[Shitamachi Tom] Nov. 25, 2015 09:00

Are you enjoying the colors of the late autumn season? A full-fledged winter will come soon. The town of Tokyo is finally starting to decorate the tail of the year.

P1130127_R.jpgChuo-ku is also a commercial town, so the end of the year begins here and there. Listening to the BGM of Jingle Bell and the sound of the bell of Fukubiki, I think the year is finally over.

  

Tsukiji was a place where foreign settlements were placed after the Meiji Restoration, and according to one theory, Tsukiji was the first Christmas party in Japan.

I guess you have been active in incorporating new things for a long time. Even now, this town seems to be full of free and advanced spirits that are not bound by old evil.

 

By the way, Tsukiji Market will be relocated in November next year. We started to carve out the countdown of the remaining one year. The out-of-office market remains, but this year was the last time we spent the New Year with the Central Wholesale Market. In December, the number of shoppers increases day by day, and people who regret more remnants than usual may be pushed.

I sometimes serve as a tourist guide for Tsukiji with the help of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, but from now on, it may be a little sentimental every time I talk about relocation.

 

Fortunately, the construction of a pre-maintenance facility in Chuo-ku is also progressing, and you will soon be able to see the new Tsukiji. I am sure that the future of the new generation Tsukiji Market is also attractive.

 

Please remember the bustle of the Tsukiji Market neighborhood, which has reached the end of the last year, in your memory.
