Which of the following is the origin of the naming of "YUITO"? The answer is at the end of this article.
A: A coined word derived from "Yuto", which means Urban Square that connects the capital, people, and time.
B: It is derived from the English "UNIT", which means group and constituent unit, and the English "UNITED", which means combined and bundled.
C: A coined word derived from Japanese "You (YU: You) are I (I) and (TO: Together)"

Finally, as for the distribution locations of the Free Paper "Nihonbashi Goyomi", there are Nihonbashi Information Center, Mitsukoshi, Takashimaya, YUITO, COREDO Nihonbashi, etc., but I get it at the entrance of the "Mitsukoshi Main Store New Building" in Nihonbashi and the entrance of the first basement floor that can be entered from the subway of "COREDO Nihonbashi".

In addition, you can also see the main articles of back issues on the Internet.

Answer to the question: A ("Check Coco!" on the right of page 5 of the first issue) It's on the right side.

 

 

 

The shining Japanese cuisine "Nihonbashi Yukari"

[Satsuki Yanagi] June 29, 2011 08:30

Even during the rainy season, the climate is unstable, with midsummer days coming.

At this time, the physical condition tends to be unstable.

On a daily basis, rather, I tend to be biased toward SWEETS (sweets). Let's nourish with proper food! And we went to lunch at a famous Japanese restaurant "Yukari Nihonbashi". 

P1050676.jpg

"Yukari Nihonbashi" has been a purveyor of Imperial Household Agency for three generations.

Currently, Mr. Kimio Nonaga, the third generation who won the 2002 JAPAN CUP, is wearing his skills.

I asked you to make a reservation in advance for [Yukari Gozen], which is limited to 10 meals a day.

 

[O-through] Under the bright green leaves and flowers of hydrangea that feel the season ... Ome's cold kan

      P1050678.jpg P1050679.jpg

It's [Yukari Gozen]. It comes with rice, fragrant food and red soup. P1050683.jpg

[Appetizer]: Seasonal ingredients [Ozukuri]: Included (I'm happy with the sea grapes!)         P1050685.jpg P1050687.jpg

[Boiled food]: Kagoshima black pork stew [fried food]: Assorted with hand-made shinjo-bababa wrapped fried chicken         P1050686.jpg P1050689.jpg  

From each preparation ... Everything is carefully hand-worked.

For example, even if it was a shrimp, one of the appetizers, how much was shot in the kitchen knife on the back!

               P1050690.jpg

Although it is compact, I think men will be satisfied with both content, number of items and volume.

Finally (my secret fun ...) 

[Desert]: Iced black honey of black beans and kinako!

I fried rice with fried rice (?) The rice puff was crisp and accented.

              P1050692.jpg    

I was able to have a very fulfilling lunch time.

The Seven Lucky Gods

[Catherine] June 29, 2011 08:30

06 004.jpg  06 010.jpg

Shimbashi Enbujo June On the way back from Daikabuki to Ginza, I was walking from Iwate Ginga Plaza to Ginza to have tea in Ginza.
I was fascinated by the cute illustration of the display.
The shop was "Saisenbei" (Saiwai Senbei). Yukisenmochi is headquartered in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture.
There was also a hail of Kosenmochi in the "Gunma-chan House" lined up.
The shop I visited is the Ginza Main Store (front of Kabukiza Theater).

I've got it before, and the cute illustration left an impression.
It was here! And immediately went to the shop

This time, I purchased the drawstrings "Seven Lucky Gods Arare" and "Medeta Festival".


06 013.jpgThe drawstring "Seven Lucky Gods Array" is in a small bag for each taste, and there are two types of rose, and I chose the type of rose.
Each one is wrapped individually with a cute Seven Lucky Gods illustration.

Seven bite-sized flavors

(Shiso, cheese, butter, curry, shrimp, Tang garashi, blue seaweed) is fun. It's light mouthfeel and bite-sized, so it's easy to reach your hands.
All of them are delicious, but personally I like the cheese flavor. Packaging in pastel colors is also cute.
Seven Lucky Gods Arare won the Mond Selection Gold Award for the third consecutive year.

My hand stretched over the haildelicious


"Medeta Festival" was purchased in response to the word "Festival" because I like the festival. It contains 10 kinds of oysters and 4 kinds of sweets, and this is also fun.♪
Among them, I miss the place where ramune and calmeyaki are contained.confident
I remembered that I had always bought some carmeyaki in fair.

  06 015.jpgThere are many other types in the store, and what should I do next? I think so.
Not only for home use, but also for gifts.

The shop will talk more easily and serve customers cold barley tea during the checkout.

The care and smile were very nice.
It was hot that day, so I didn't hesitate to get it. Thank you for your dinner.

Why don't you stop by when you go shopping in Ginza or go out to Kabuki theater?

I would like to talk about the tourist association correspondent blog and thank you for your cooperation in shooting inside the store.

Thank you very much.

All-you-can-eat fruits from around the world

[Mido] June 27, 2011 08:30

 In the 1930s, bananas were luxury goods and rarely eaten. (laughs)
 That's why you want to eat bananas and fruits to the full stomach.
 It's an easy-to-understand information.


 All-you-can-eat fruits from around the world at "Senbikiya Sohonten" in Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower
 We are holding an event called "Oh".
 The price is a little expensive at 4,200 yen, but it's 24 kinds of fruits from around the world, such as tropical fruits.
 All-you-can-eat as much as you want. Also, special mango curry rice and pineapple made by Senbikiya
 Luhashd beef fried rice, fruit yogurt and drinks are also available.
 It's said that there is no problem. You need to make a reservation, but how can you eat all-you-can-eat high-quality fruits in the hot summer?
 Isn't it?

Ginza Lecan's birthday dinner plan

[Mapo ★] June 27, 2011 08:30

This year's birthday dinner was decided by looking at the book "Ginza Master".
Speaking of French on the royal road in Ginza, Maxim de Paris and this Ginza Lecan are said to be.
Maxim went to last year's birthday, so this year I made it Ginza Lecan (* ^^ *)

Ginza Lecan is located underground in the Mikimoto Building on Ginza Street.
The French royal road is still underground (^^;

RIMG7122.JPG RIMG7127.JPG

The anniversary course is for 40,000 yen for two people with an aperiod sake and a cake.
There is also a photo and a flower of rose.
I drank about 4 glasses of wine, so it's about +10,000 yen.
But the menu is very rich, and there are plenty of desserts.
It's a very reasonable plan.★
 
At first, toast with champagne. Very easy to drink and delicious~ (*^^*)

It was like fruity and sweets!

This pudding is a fierce horse.★

 
There were 10 kinds of wagon desales, but I chose 5 little by little (laughs).
Grapefruit cake and cremebrulee are especially delicious!

RIMG7152.JPG RIMG7153d.jpg


The atmosphere of the shop is very high, and there is a special feeling.
The staff in charge of the table was very friendly and interesting (*^^*)
 
The same is true for other staff and sommelier.
Sommelier was good to be an easy-to-understand person to listen to various recommended wines.

The anniversary plan sometimes comes with a photo, so it's possible.
Other customers don't appear.
It's a very nice seat where you can sit side by side and see the whole shop.
 
All the dishes are delicious, with grills of various parts of Omar shrimp.
Sommelier's recommended white wine was perfect!
 
The dishes are also hot or cold to match the dishes.♪
Because it is a sultry season, there are many delicious cold menus and wine goes on.
 
The person in charge of the table "Is it full? I don't go home yet (laughs)."
Beginning with the words, desserts rush like a rage (laughs).
I can't stand for those who like desserts!

Of course, the birthday cake was taken out as it was.
I ate six small sweets on the spot.
There were 10 small sweets packed in boxes along with the cake.
 
 
RIMG7196.JPG RIMG7197.JPG

For dessert, my favorite grapefruit is used here and there.
The grapefruit pudding was the best (*^^*)
 
On the way back, the person in charge of the table and the sommelier sent off to the outside of the shop.
I walked along Chuo-dori toward Wako.
I was surprised that I was still there when I shook back on the way!
 
It was a shop where you could provide a truly wonderful service.
It seems that I paid at 10:15, so I am plenty of 3 hours and 15 minutes.
I was able to spend a wonderful birthday dinner time in no time.

By the way, on this day, I had a beauty treatment in Siebon.
Have a full makeup and hair set at the beauty boost bar in Shiseido.
We went out for dinner from there.
 
The best birthday to spend in Ginza! Since it is once a year, I wonder if such luxury is good ~ (* ^^ *)
 
 

 

Karinto "Tachibana"-How about a souvenir of Ginza? ―

1. June 24, 2011 08:30

In the "3 good friends" following the 117th row of "Tsurezure Grass", "7 good friends", the first "doctor (kusushi), wisdom friend" was "Mokururu Tomo" Do you remember?

When I first met this stage in class, I still remember that I was very shocked, saying, "I'm a good friend, so it's a good friend." (I was young)

 

100_0093.JPGThe "Tachibana no Karinto" introduced this time is a gift from my "Mokururu Tomo".


The origin of "Karinto" is unknown due to various theories such as "Tang confectionery brought by envoy to the Tang Dynasty" and "One of the Nanban confectionery", but it seems that there are many sweets similar to the world. After frying roughly, add honey of "black sugar" or "white sugar", but this is a white sugar type. Two kinds of thick "roll" thin "sada". The shiny glossy karinto wearing a transparent candy-colored clothing is very elegant and crisp and light. I am tempted to want to eat every bag once without worrying about calories. There is also a magazine that introduces "Tokyo's three major karinto". Bags are recommended for home use, and cans are recommended for souvenirs.

In a bag: 300G 800 yen, round cans 1100 yen to 5000 yen, corner cans 1300 yen to 3700 yen
