Bunmeido Nihonbashi Main Store - Add sincerity to Deliciousness

[rosemary sea] September 29, 2016 09:00

This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an approach.

 

DSC01422a.jpgI would like to introduce the Nihonbashi Main Store of Bunmeido, which was reopened on February 4, this year.

The history and background of the long-established Bunmeido has already been written several times on this blog, so I will omit it here.

 

About Mr. Bunmeido, Rozmari's episode

◎ A long time ago, I often used Bunmeido's castella, which was on the premises of Kiyose Station in Tokyo at the time, as a gift to customers at the expense of work.

◎ In recent years, I went to Bunmeido's Musashimurayama Plant near my home and the affiliated subsidiary "Ichibankan" to buy "Kamadashi Castella (fresh and fluffy castella cutout)" and cookies and cakes. .

 

From here, I would like to talk to the manager of the Hoshino Main Store.

DSC01416a.jpgCastella "Kisho"

It is a gem for those who love castella, made by selected raw materials such as crow bone eggs and Wasanbon sugar and kneaded technology.

Among Bunmeido, it is sold only here at Nihonbashi Main Store and Shinjuku Main Store.

 

DSC01415a.jpgNihonbashi Castella

On this day of the interview, it was a pattern and goldfish pattern of the adjacent COREDO Nihonbashi Muromachi aquarium. It's about to be the autumn maple pattern.

 

DSC01417a.jpgSpecial preparation

Special castella with letters and patterns, Mikasayama, and red and white buns are said to have received the support of customers. In addition to the default design, you can also include the original design.

Castella cools down a day, draws letters and pictures with chocolate, and Mt. Mikasa is branded.

I'll finish it at the factory. It takes about a week from order to delivery.

For orders and consultations, please contact Nihonbashi Main Store at 03-3241-0002.

 

DSC01414a.jpgGallery

There is a small gallery in the Nihonbashi Main Store and Cafe.

As a representative example, a Japanese painter famous for beauty paintings, Shinsui Ito (Meiji 31-Showa 47) painter "Moon no Echi" (<Monday> of Setsuki Hana trilogy) [Earlier picture] Is posted all year round. It seems that they are sometimes lent to the Shinsui Ito exhibition. Other works may change depending on the month.

 

BUNMEIDO CAFE

The Nihonbashi Main Store has a "BUNMUIDO CAFE" where you can enjoy cafes and meals.

How about using it for lunch?

03-3245-0002

Normally, business hours are from 9:30 to 23:00, but business hours and regular holidays are subject to change depending on the season, so please check the store or website.

 

DSC01418a.jpgSignboard

The foreheaded signboard displayed in the store is also handwritten by Shinsui Ito.

It has been posted since the reopening of February this year.

Until then, he was sleeping in the warehouse.

 

DSC01427a.jpgJapanese shop curtain and Other Books of Civilization Hall

The logo of the historic civilization hall is based on the book of sculptor Fumio Asakura (Meiji 16-Showa 39).

Many of his works called "Rodan of the Orient" are famous, but as you all know, Shigenobu Okuma on Waseda University campus and Kazuo Hatoyama and Haruko statues at Hatoyama Hall in Bunkyo-ku.

By the way, the person in the lower left of Japanese shop curtain is manager Hoshino.

Mowi Salmon Store (outside Tsukiji)

[Chuo Kotaro] September 28, 2016 09:00

I met a shop dealing with salmon with a slightly unusual name in Tsukiji, so I would like to introduce it.
I think.
A salmon with an unfamiliar name called Mowi Salmon (Mowi Salmon)
This is a shop specializing in it.


Walk toward Kachidokibashi from the intersection of Tsukiji 4-chome, and walk a little before entering the waveguide street.
It's located along Harumi-dori St.
The color of white and orange between sushi and Kadoyama is eye-catching.
There's a shop.

ck1509_20160926 (1). jpg ck1509_20160926 (2). jpg

 
Speaking of salmon in Japan, white salmon, red salmon, and silver salmon. The name "salmon" is King Salmon.
Atlantic salmon, trout salmon, etc. are noticeable when they goggle.
I've heard the name of each one.

 

By the way, the first landing in Japan recently entered the Tokyu Plaza Ginza store.
"Baric Salmon" at "Caviar House & Prunnier/Sandwich House".
I saw you deal with "salmon" called "salmon", but this is the type of salmon.
Instead, the salmon from Norway was smoked by a certain method.
I think I'll call you.

 

 

Yeah,
Mowisalmon is located on the Norway, Marine Harvest.
The world's largest producer of aquaculture salmon
It seems to be a variety that has been developed over 50 years.
The world's best Norwegian salmon lineage
It is a proud premium brand that we have inherited.

 

The shop itself is a directly managed store of Marine Harvest (the first in Japan).
It opened in February of this year (2016).

 

Although it is a product handled, it can be used for fillet (not cut) or cut off.
Of course, you can buy it, but you can also buy marinade as a side dish.

ck1509_20160926 (3). jpg

 

There are two types of marinades that use raw (Japanese style and genobese style) and smoked ones.
1 type (Italy style)
There are a total of 3 types, 700 yen per 100g for raw and 100g for smoke.
It's 1200 yen. (I feel like smoke was said to be a Belgian manufacturing method.)

 

There are also packaged products that combine marinade with raw vegetables.
1,000 yen pack with a fixed amount of salmon.
Vegetable fee 500 yen + salmon fee.
There is a pack that allows you to freely select the type and amount of salmon.
Vegetables are also fresh vegetables purchased at Tsukiji, trepis, Ladish, Selbachiko, etc.
Red core radish, ruccolla,
Somehow high-quality vegetables such as Castel Franco are used.
Yes. If you want to enjoy it easily, do you buy marinade in grams or pack vegetables?
ck1509_20160926 (4). jpg ck1509_20160926 (5). jpg

I tasted three kinds of marinades, but all of them were smooth and delicious without habit.
That's right.
If you buy a pack with vegetables and eat it with cheese, wine or sake, you can enjoy it.
I feel like it. Would it be better to prepare crackers or bread?

 

 
Then, as another signboard product, a special called "Mowisalmon Sandwich"
I have some sandwiches.
The price is as high as 2000 yen, but French bread and truffle.
A lot of tamago, and smoke-mowisammon
It is sandwiched, considering the material and quantity of the ingredients.
I guess it's not cheap.

 

By the way, the bread is from a famous bakery in the neighborhood of Tsukiji.

I didn't tell you somewhere, but is that bakery on the settlement Chuo-dori?
I tried to buy one Mowisamon Sandwich. As expected, premium
It was delicious.

ck1509_20160926 (6). jpg ck1509_20160926 (7). jpg

 

A new high-class salmon shop built in Tsukiji, why don't you try it once? 。

 

Address: 6-21-2, Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

Sales: From 8:00 to 15:00 (Wednesday, Sundays and market holidays are closed)

 

 

 

The Nissan showroom has come back! (Ginza 4-chome intersection)

[Sunflower Rabbit] September 26, 2016 16:00

The Nissan Gallery in Ginza 4-chome, which had been temporarily closed due to the rebuilding of the building since the end of March 2014.

On September 24th (Sat), I finally came back!

What is the name of the new Nissan Showroom?

"NISSAN CROSSING" (Nissan Crossing).

SR1.JPG

What is the first machine to be displayed?

I was very excited.

SR2.JPG thumbnail image

It was the new 2017 NISSAN GT-R NISMO.

It's cool.

SR3.JPG thumbnail image

Virtual reality that allows you to experience the running of GT-R with 360-degree sound and video

"Special Contents -VR Racing - (Special Content -VR Racing -)" was also very popular.

 

There was also a souvenir here.

Thumbnail image of SR7.JPG

The stainless steel tumbler is the final polish of the GT-R muffler (handwork!) I'm doing it

This is a work of a craftsman from Tsubamesanjo City, Niigata Prefecture. The price is still undecided.

When Edo Kiriko is placed on a stainless steel plate ... Nissan's symbol (playful).

Traditional Japanese chopsticks are lacquered from Wakasa, Fukui Prefecture. It seems to be very popular with foreign customers.

This is the former Nissan Gallery. What age do you remember?

Location: GINZA PLACE (Ginza Place) 1F and 2F

Nihonbashi Kiya-a long-established knives shop with sharp beauty -

[rosemary sea] September 14, 2016 16:00

It is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a catchphrase.

 

DSC01337b.jpgToday, we visited Kiya Co., Ltd. and Nihonbashi Kiya Honten. Thank you for taking care of Mr. Kaneko.

 

Kiya was founded in 1792 (Kansei 4) and has a history of 224 years this year, and is a long-established manufacturing and sales of hardware such as blades.

 

The first Isuke Kato was separated from the main family's Kiya and became independent, and the current president Kinya Kato is the ninth generation.

It has been running in Nihonbashi Muromachi since its founding.

Since its opening in 2010 (Heisei 22) in COREDO Muromachi 1.

DSC01339a.jpg


When the Edo Shogunate was opened, Kubei Hayashi, the first generation of Honke Kiya, descended to Edo from a medicinal merchant in Osaka, at the invitation of Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa.

 

It is said that Osaka, Edo, and Hayashiya were divided into two, and that the kanji "forest" and "Kiya" were referred to as "Kiya".

 

Kiya-san, about 10 years after its opening, is also depicted in Kidai Shoran, a emakimono in the Edo period.

 

Well, let's introduce the product. There are many gems that I would like to introduce, but from Rosmari's best choice.

 

KIYA nail clipperDSC01333a.jpg

 

An absolute popular product released in 1987. The shape has not changed since the release.

 

The center is small (756 yen including tax). The right is large (1,296 yen including tax). On the left is gold (1,296 yen including tax).

DSC01358a.jpg

The picture below it is currently three small pieces of Rosmali's house. The center is 10 years old, but it is still very sharp.

A famous culinary critic has been advocating this nail clipper in lectures, newspapers and magazines for a long time, and has proclaimed its favorite use. "Cookers are fingertips," he said. Rosmari also listened to a lecture about 10 years ago and purchased one on the spot.

The feature is that the blade part is made of steel. It is sharper than others and has a different blade holding. It is a gem with a good feeling of cutting.

Perfect as a gift. Lotsmari also give a few gifts to relatives. I'm very pleased. "Large" is good for older people.

 

Danjuro, a kitchen knife

DSC01331a.jpgIt has been a trademark since the Meiji and Taisho eras. It seems that a good relationship with the old Kabuki actor Danjuro Ichikawa in the same Nihonbashi area was built. You can also use the "Danjuro" mark.

The sickle-shaped kitchen knife (about 180mm blade crossing) in the center is 34,560 yen including tax. The lower petty knife, the so-called fruit knife (about 120 mm across the blade), is 21,060 yen including tax. Since it is a special steel, it has a good blade and is easy to maintain. This product is made of steel and stainless steel.

 

Danjuro of cutting scissorsDSC01332a.jpg

 

There is also "Danjuro" in judgment scissors.

The Danjuro brand is named as a good product with production capacity.

Portable cooking scissorsDSC01336a.jpg

 

It's a hidden selling product.

Use when meat is hard to cut off on the go.

It is convenient without damaging the dishes.

To make it easy to use, the blade is short and the blade surface is jagged.

 

Notice 1

On the exciting tour “Long-established Course Part 1” (September 27, November 17) hosted by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Kiya-san is a visit destination. Unfortunately, Rosmali doesn't participate.

 

Notice No. 2DSC01342a.jpg

At the Fukumi Festival-Cored Autumn Festival-held from September 28 (Wed) to November 13 (Sun), Kiya will sell a nail cut set (large / small) as a planned product. The price is 2052 yen including tax. It's cute and packaged. By the way, "Fuku" of the Fukumi Festival is the meaning of the adjacent Fukutoku Shrine.
