This week, the long-awaited sale of Kashiwa mochi has started at Shigeru Chizuki.

　

This shop's Kashiwa-mochi is sweet and sweet. The rice cake that is not too soft has a reputation for being delicious. The wrapping method is a type that wraps rice cake on the front of the leaf (some shops wrap it on the back), and it costs 150 yen each.

　

"Shigeru Chizuki" beside Hamacho Park is a small Japanese confectionery shop known to those who know it. The exterior doesn't look like a shop.

There are handwritten "Dorayaki" and "Kashiwa Mochi" paper on the entrance. The first person may be a little difficult to enter.

The standard Japanese sweets are dorayaki, in the middle, chestnut bun. It is seasonal, and Sakura mochi and Kashiwa mochi are added.

　

In particular, dorayaki (160 yen) is large enough to think how to put it in a bag (135g when measured!) It's good to eat.

I asked Mr. Mochizuki, the master of the appearance of craftsmanship.

"How do you put this dorayaki in a bag?"

Then the master broke his expression and said, "Once you take it out of the bag, you will not enter anymore."

And this question was distracted.

The event "Nihonbashi Sakura Menu Walk" in the Nihonbashi Sakura Festival.

(It was an event until April 9)

I'm looking at the pamphlet and there are a lot of nice menus.

I was looking at it.

From a point of view, it's okay for a one-year-old daughter, Azuki, to go.

I wonder if there are any shopping and dining spots.

So I found the character of "Furoshiki specialty store Karakusaya".

Photographs of furoshiki with cherry blossom pattern are also gorgeous and wonderful!

And it's not so far from my home!

That's why I decided to go.

There is a shop just a little from the Ningyocho intersection.

When you enter the shop...

You will be greeted by a plastic bottle that you have made in the furoshiki.

I'm surprised to be able to wrap it so cute.

And then

It was presented to those who passed the Chuo-ku Tourism Test.

"Chuo-ku Senshafuroshiki" was also placed.

The old town name and the things related to it are illustrated like a thousand-shafu bill.

It's fun just to look at it.

When I received a notice of acceptance in March, I got it for the first time.

I remembered that I was a little impressed.

Click here for the "Sakura pattern furoshiki" on the pamphlet.

Even if you say cherry blossoms in a bite, there are various patterns and colors, so you are lost.

The pink is cute, but the cool colors will match the coming season ...

This is the place where you shop like this.

Furoshiki with cherry blossom pattern (100% cotton) and

This is a celebration bag made of furoshiki.

After using it as a celebration bag, you can use it as a furoshiki for a long time.

It's a product that is friendly to the global environment.

I'm going to use it for my friend's wedding soon.


Actually, this "arabesque shop".

With the support of the Japan Furoshiki Association, we also hold a wrapping class.

I'm clumsy.

In the pamphlet explaining how to wrap it in at the time of purchase

I'm going to practice a little.

I would like to introduce you to the Japanese restaurant.

　

I can't help it.

There are plenty of different types, and always delicious.

As expected, Tsukiji Fish Bank

　

It is said that he is the oldest fishery wholesaler in Tsukiji Market.

　

It is a shop founded in 1871, sticking to the traditional sun-dried and additive-free, and also sticking to seasonal fish (the year when Maejima Mitsu started the postal service).

　

"I'll never have a good thing. 。 It is said that "the representative string of Japanese food culture" is being transmitted not only in Japan but also in the world.

　

I like to buy strings such as saury, horse mackerel, mackerel, mackerel, etc. during the company lunch break and return home, and then drink at home with strings. The house turned to a party. It's also kind to your wallet.

　

The clerks were all kind and taught me how to eat unusual dried fish and sun-dried small sardines. If you have a chance, why don't you stop by?
