Kurufuku-Nihonbashi

[Asunaro] December 30, 2017 16:00


When you go to souvenir shops, various beckoning cats
You can see it.

Shop. jpg

If you look closely, you can see the rising hand (front leg?) But
It's the right hand or the left hand.
It seems to have a meaning.

 

The right hand invites money.
The left hand invites people.
In both hands, both money luck and a thousand customers who invite people
It is said that there is a great deal.

 

And the higher the hand you raise, the more you invite the distant fortune.

Sanko Inari. jpg

Nihonbashi has been famous as a "Prayer for lost cats" since the Edo period.
There are many beckoning cats at the shrine as a thank you for fulfilling your wish.
I have it.

 

Beckoning cats have been loved by many Japanese since ancient times.
I hear that it is becoming more popular overseas.
You are still alive even in the year of the dog.

Be sure to enjoy the mysterious sight at dusk, the old city of Yagenbori.

[Shiba Inu] December 25, 2017 09:00


From Tuesday, December 26 to 28 (Thursday), the year-old city of Odeko, Yagenbori fudoson, will be held in Nihonbashi. The location is Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome, the eastern end of Chuo-ku. The nearest stations are Higashi-Nihonbashi Station and Bakuro-Yokoyama Station. It takes place in the fudoson area of Yagenbori.

 
The year-on-ichi is the last city of the year, where New Year's decorations such as shimenawa sacred ropes, winter clothing and food are sold cheaply. The remaining old cities in Tokyo are Hagoita in Asakusa and Yagenbori here. Yagenbori's year-old city was the last city in Edo Gofu, so it was called the "Noto-no-ichi". It was once cut off in the war, but the local people have resumed, and even now in Heisei, they can buy it at the beginning of the year while enjoying the Edo atmosphere.


Yagenbori was the place where Dutch studies (medicine) surgery was performed during the Edo period, and the place where the talks began. There are a number of related monuments on the premises. And it has a very mysterious cityscape. In a small town, if you walk for a few minutes, you will get to one of the major streets in Tokyo, but when you enter the Yagenbori area, such a modern hustle and bustle disappears, and you will feel the illusion of entering a town somewhere in Showa.

The best time to visit is from dusk to night.

I don't want to go shopping at such times even though it's cold and busy....I feel like that, but this is the most mysterious thing.


IMG_8897.jpgIt is a very recommended spot for those who like to take pictures of the night view.

IMG_8902.jpgIMG_8899.jpg

There's also a lion dance, and there's a lot of entertainment. You'll bite your head properly!

IMG_8895.jpgMany strange stories are actually transmitted to year old cities around the country. Those who died in that year came to shop, or local youkai opened a shop at night. At the end of the year, everyone is passing each other on the street corner and welcomes a new year.


The current Yagenbori Toshinoichi has a very lively atmosphere with the power of a nearby wholesale district. By all means, please come to the lively “last year old city” where there is mysterious!

Please enjoy Osechi-Shigeru-

[rosemary sea] December 24, 2017 09:00

This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" formally.

Mr. Shigeru Kami, a long-established manufacturing and sales company of half-pen and Kamaboko, here is the previous introduction.

⇒ /archive/2017/03/post-4055.html

In the half-pan, we introduced half-pen, half-moon, and in Kamaboko, Wasan (Wasan), the finest Kamaboko, Mikamaboko, and other boiled rice.

gokuzyou.jpg gokuzyouaka.jpg

Wasan [new].jpg img_main1.jpg

/archive/2017/03/post-4058.html

In addition to history, I have introduced suji.

http://tokuhain/chuo-kanko.or.jp/2017/03/post-4089.html

The history is summarized.

This time, I would like to focus on Kamo's "Osechi".

Osechi set. jpg

I was taken care of by Mr. Rei Omi, Kamimo Sales Department.

That's why I'd like to introduce the product. All prices are tax-included.

The Kamaboko, etc. introduced before, will be omitted this time.

datemaki 2.jpg datemaki.jpg

2,376 yen out of 3,240 yen, small 1,836 yen

Datemaki of Kamabokoya has a slightly higher percentage of fish.

The old-fashioned Datemaki uses guchi (Ishimochi) for fish, plenty of dashi, and a deep taste in the moist texture.

He is particular about the flavor and mouthfeel, suppresses the scent of the fish, and has been devised so that the taste of the fish surimi comes after the sweetness of the eggs.

Jinmo's surimi buys sushi restaurants in Nihonbashi and Ginza every morning to bake egg ware.

This Datemaki is the source of that taste.

datemakii.jpg

The finest Datemaki 3,996 yen

It is a product that suppresses the flavor and dashi of the fish a little, sticks to the flavor of the egg, and makes use of the original taste of the egg.

nisyokuti-zu.jpg

Two-colored cheese 735 yen

Kamaboko and cheese are very compatible. Among them, we carefully selected cheese that is good to taste.

naruto.jpg naruto dai.jpg

The volume is 918 yen, small 648 yen

If you imagine, it's a little different from the volume.

The best match for zoni, etc.

When putting it in zoni, do not sleep the kitchen knife and cut it into a shape close to a circle.

kimimaki.jpg kimimaki02.jpg

735 yen in yellow roll

A type of decorative kamaboko.

We kneaded salmon, kikurage, and shiitake mushrooms familiar with Osechi and celebration table into Kamaboko, and kneaded egg yolk around the surimi and rolled up.

Since it is not sweet, it matches well with zoni in addition to weight.

kanimasago.jpg kanimasago 2.jpg

Masago 951 yen

This is also a type of decorative kamaboko.

Kamaboko is mixed with crab meat and green peas.

In the weight, this orange asserts and directs the colors vividly, making it more gorgeous.

nisyokutamako kaku.jpg nisyokukiaku2.jpg

Two-colored egg (square) 3,564 yen

Good quality eggs are divided into yolk and white, steamed, then backed, added moderately with sugar, and put in a push mold to finish.

In particular, we are particular about the process of the back, and the exquisite texture is brought out by the moderate roughness and moisture content of the texture.

In addition, it makes the weight gorgeous.

nisyokumaru2.jpg nisyokumaru.jpg

Two-colored egg (round) 2,160 yen

The raw material is the same as the two-colored egg (square), but the process of the backing is different.

The texture is fine and finished to look heavy, and the moist feeling is emphasized by rolling it up with a blinds.

kuromkame.jpg kuromamr.jpg

In addition, black beans (large and small), chestnut kinton, rice making, and shin kelp roll.

Everyone is finished in a tasteful gem by the optimal raw material and the hassle-free process.

And this time, I would like to introduce the osechi assortment.

It's a reservation sale, but unfortunately this season's sales have ended.

tumeawase1.jpg

Assorted Osechi <1> 14,580 yen

This is an assortment of 10 items of osechi for home use.

It's full of money.

tumeawase2.jpg

Assorted Osechi <2> 18,360 yen

This is an assortment of 8 items of Osechi which we are proud of.

I wonder if it's great as a gift.

"Ohho" changed "Ginza Owl"

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 23, 2017 09:00

kojisan222.JPG

A liquor store that stands at Ginza 1-chome and sells tastings, sake gallery "Kojiya Sanshiro Sake Store"

kojisan333.JPG

The place is the red place on the map below, Ginza 1-23-4 Tokai Building 1F.

kojisan111.jpg

In the last blog (), I introduced the super-umaguchi activated muddy sake "Oho"

kojisan000.JPG

When I visited a few days ago, "Ohho" was sold out, but when I went today, the owner told me that it had just arrived today and that the name was changed to "Ginza Owl".

It was nice timing

kojisan0000.JPG

Even if the name changes, there is no difference that it is an active turbulent liquor of the superuma mouth.

kojisan888.JPG

In addition, seven years after Great East Japan Earthquake, I heard that the "Sake Great Tasting Party in Ginza" was planned and operated at Ginza Suzuran Street on December 16 and 17 last weekend to remember the support I had forgotten.

kojisan999.JPG

At that time, the exhibited "Tohoku 6 Soul Sake" was placed in the store.

kojisan777.JPG

It is a beautiful Art Nouveau-style liquor with prefectural flowers from the six prefectures of Tohoku on the label.

At present, this shop is the only place where you can drink and buy this liquor.

kojisan555.JPG

It is said that customers from overseas are also increasing at this shop.

A hat is taken off to the vitality of the shopkeeper who is engaged in various activities to get to know the goodness of sake.

kojisan666.JPG

In addition, we received the consent of the owner about the photography in the store, and this time we also gave a polite and polite explanation.

Thank you very much

 The "winter solstice" has the shortest daytime time in the year and the longest nighttime.

 Pumpkin and yuzu. jpg

 On this day, daytime hours increase and rise.

"Ichiyorai" means going for good luck.

 In this winter solstice, "n = luck" is hopeful that luck will recover.

There is a lucky charm that eats two overlapping ingredients.

  •  Pumpkin #Pumpkin
  •  Ginkgo (Ginnan)
  •  Ginseng (carrot)
  •  Lotus root
  •  Golden citrus
  •  Agar (kanten)
  •  Udon # Udon
