I visited temples and shrines full of individuality in Chuo-ku, strolled around the neighborhood, and continued a series to offer a phrase of memories, but this is the last one.

 

In Shikoku pilgrimages, the departure of a prayer trip is called "application" (hotsugan), and the successful completion of a tour is called "kigan". The pilgrimage to Chuo-ku continues, but as a conclusion of this series, we decided on the place of "Ying" at Tsukiji's "Namishi Inari Shrine".

 In the early Edo period, the Shogunate built the current Tsukiji area to expand the city area, but at that time, when the intense waves were extremely difficult, the weather stopped when worshiping Inari found on the sea, It is said that From that history, the precious name of "wab removal" was given.

 

It has long been worshiped as a guardian deity in the Tsukiji area, but since the fish shore moved after the Great Kanto Earthquake, it has become even more bustling. At the festival last summer, many people from the market participated and it was exciting. Will this festival change if Tsukiji Market moves? Or will it leave the same atmosphere? However, the history of this shrine, which has been over 350 years, will surely be passed down.

The symbol of "Namishi Inari Shrine" is a pair of male and female lion heads. In the past, it seems that it was a festival to pray for good luck with the dragon and the tiger, but now only the lion is left and is enshrined carefully. However, at the time of the festival, this lion is also tailored to portable shrine and travels around each town lively. For the people of Tsukiji, they are proud and familiar.

 

There are a number of mounds, namely memorials, such as Tamagozuka and Ebitsuka, on the grounds. It was dedicated by the market participants with gratitude for their lives. It is a monument unique to the area where many people work related to fresh fish and sushi.

 

 

 

I think many people visit Ko Shrine when they visit Tsukiji Market, but please go to the Sumida River because it is a great deal. The view of the river surface from Kachidokibashi is also relaxing. When it gets a little warmer, you can also taste the scenery of "Spring Urara's Sumida River ... ♪", which is declared in Rentaro Taki's "Flowers" on the Sumida River Terrace.

In addition, "Tentake" in front of Tsukiji Market Kachidoki Gate is a famous restaurant where you can taste delicious without hesitation. On the 29th of every month, Fugu Tendon is usually 1,680 yen as a "Fugu Day Service", so it is advantageous because it is just 1,000 yen. Please try it once.

By the way, the event of this season is the Setsubun Festival on February 3. It will also be held here at "Namishi Inari Shrine". (Photo 2 leaves of the Setsubun Festival are quoted from the shrine website.)

On the evening of Setsubun's Day, a ceremony is held in accordance with the ancient ceremony called "Tonna Mitsuya". It shoots three arrows, each of which has the meaning of "turning the disease to health", "turning the pain to fortune", and "turning the shade cheerfully". After that, a scatter a lot of sweets from a special stage. Every time, many worshipers come in search of lucky sweets. I'm going to join this scatter this year too.

At "Namishi Inari Shrine", the shout of "Oni is outside" is not used, and it is exclusively chanted as "Fuku is inside". There is a feeling of praying for the happiness of worshipers in the precincts.

 

In the first place, "Setsubun" means "the turn of the season", and of course it is originally four times a year, but it seems that it began to refer only to the day before "Riharu". Long ago, Ritsuharu was the beginning of the year, so Setsubun was an important day with the meaning of switching from old to new.

The event called "Tsuna" is a Miyanaka event that was once held on New Year's Eve to pay evil demons that destroyed the capital of Kyoto. Eventually, "Oniyarai" became a custom called "bean-throwing ceremony" and spread throughout the country. Since "Setsubun" had the meaning of a year's milestone, I guess it might have come to take place on this day instead of "New Year's Eve".

 

My old aunt, who was already older when I was a child, called "Setsubun" "New Year's Eve." Apparently, there are regions all over the country that call so. In other words, you can see that "Setsubun" was positioned similar to New Year's Eve. In addition, the custom of "Ehomaki", which has recently been advertised in a complex, etc., was originally a region centered on Osaka, and it spread to the Kanto region in no time. It is said that Seven-Eleven launched it around 1990. It's still late, isn't it?

In Osaka, it has been practiced since ancient times, as it invites luck by rolling thick rolls toward Ekata of that year. It is customary that you should not speak at this time. However, this custom in Osaka is not so old, and it has spread at once since the owner of a sushi shop in the Taisho era that the husbands of the Senba originally went to play in the teahouse, after the owner of a sushi shop campaign to develop needs It is a common theory that it spread. In other words, it originated very similar to "Eel of Earth" and "Valentine Day".

 

As such, the desire to do "bean-throwing ceremony" on the day of "Setsubun" and wish for fortune remains unchanged. In most homes, my father may play the role of a demon. It is also an important role to escape by being hit by children with sanzan beans. After the children fall asleep, do you have your mother accompany me with a green liquor? Even in the town of Tsukiji, you can see each other in the night of Setsubun.

 

If you hear "Ritsuharu", your feelings will flutter in spring even if it is still cold. I wish you a bright and happy spring.

 This is the end of this series. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

In Bakuro-Yokoyama Station in Nihonbashi Yokoyama, Chuo-ku, there is a shop called Sandog Inn Kobeya.

It seems that it has become a hot topic in introduction on TV and word of mouth on blogs.
This time, I visited and saw it, and had a lunch buffet.

It is located in the ticket gate at Exit A3 on the Toei Shinjuku Line "Bakuroyokoyama" station Asakusa Line.

A series that rediscovers the charm of Chuo-ku while strolling around temples and shrines in the city is also in the end. This time, I visited "Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine" in Tsukuda.

 

Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine has already been featured by many correspondents, and I just interviewed in the Tsukishima Seven Wonders Series last summer in Reitaisai festival. Therefore, this time, I would like to focus on the episodes around this shrine.

Tsukishima Seven Wonders-Episode 3 "Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Festival"

The origin of Tsukuda Island is already famous, but when Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Edo, 33 fishermen from Tsukuda Island, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni (currently Tsukuda, Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka City), along with Shinto priesthood in the same area. I inherited the place name and the faith of guardian god. It is said that the current shrine was officially enshrined on June 29, 1646 (old calendar), and since then the shrine's Reitaisai festival was held on this day. After the new calendar, festivals are held in early August, which is the date.

My uncle's family once lived in Tsukuda, Osaka, the roots of Tsukuda, Chuo-ku. I've visited several times when I was a child. Tsukuda in Osaka is a coastal area heading from the center of the city to Kobe, and I remember that there were many factories from here to Amagasaki City. Just as the Ishikawajima Shipyard was built next to Tsukuda Island in Tokyo, there are some places where the locality is similar.

National Route 2 (No. 1 Hanshin National Highway) and National Route 43 (No. 2 Hanshin National Highway) pass beside the town, and the Hanshin Namba Line also runs, making it a major transportation hub connecting Osaka and Kobe. There must have been a lot of traffic of people and boats. I think the residents were sensitive to new information and were good at business sense. I guess that the descendants emigrated to Tsukuda, now Chuo-ku, and demonstrated their sensibility and action at the beginning of the Edo period.

By the way, when you actually walk on Tsukuda Island, it is a town with a relieved atmosphere whenever you visit. First, visit "Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine". The shrine area here is never wide, but it feels like Tsukuda Island itself is with the shrine, so it can be said that it is a shrine that stands without discomfort. In the first place, Sumiyoshi is a guardian deity related to the sea and water, such as shipping and fishing, so it can be said that it is a god suitable for the area surrounded by water. The fact that the grand Torii gate in front is built facing the Sumida River is a proof that God will enter and exit by boat, and it is deeply moved by history.

The place where Tsukuda's ferry used to be was the stone monument of playwright Shuji Hojo. "If it snows, Tsukuda is an old Edo island" is also a phrase with a good taste.

The area around the back of "Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine" and crossing Tsukuda Kobashi is often used in dramas, but I also love the atmosphere of the boat pool in front of me. It is a place where you can relax when you take a walk on holidays.

There is a small hall called "Tsukudatendaiko Ikuchizoson" near here, but in an alley where no people can pass each other, a large ginkgo tree extends from the hole on the roof of Machiya to the sky It extends upward. It's a very unusual landscape, so I often decide to pass through this alley when I invited my friends to walk. Tsukuda is a great place to take a walk while walking along such alleys and back streets. However, it is necessary to take care not to disturb the lives of residents.

Nevertheless, there are few tall buildings in Tsukuda and alleys spread vertically and horizontally, so light leaks from here and there. The sorrow of the sunset is also good, and the sun of the sunrise is also good. However, because the alley is narrow, the light on a leaked day will be thinner. At this time, the position of the sun is still low and the sunset is early, so the scenery where cats are sunbathing on a not so wide sun is also wonderful.

I love Tsukuda, such a tasty town. It's a cold season, but please go out in search of warm light.

A restaurant in Paul Boques, with its head office in Lyon, France.

There's a ham here in the year-end gift at a department store.

Ginza is located on the 10th floor of Marronnier Gate.

Because it's a brasserie, it's not a smart French restaurant but a common feeling.

There are also lunch sets that cost 2000 yen.★

Vegetables are made of kurubet nage and refreshing vegetable bouillon jelly

　

Krubet swims little shrimp and Nage swims.

The white sauce at the bottom was sour and delicious (*^^*)

Fresh baked bread, olive oil, and chicken lever putty

I prefer chickens to pigs.

　

The main one is a chicken thigh cock ovan and a breast pochette

Along with broccoli echube with a light garlic scent.

Cock ovan is stewed with red wine, and stewed with steamed dishes.♪

Speaking of meals at Tsukiji, there are a strong image of sushi and seafood bowls on the fish shore, but there are many delicious shops in the area near Higashiginza and the area from the back of Honganji to St. Luke's, and even at night, even if there is a little expensive, lunch can be around 1,000 yen.

However, on Sundays and holidays, the situation changes completely.
Most of them are closed, or even if they are open, the menu will be different from weekdays.
On the fish shore, the number of shops that are open even on holidays and holidays has increased, but there are not many shops that are busy in small shops and where you can drink coffee after meals slowly.
When I thought, "Slowly calm down and lunch at Tsukiji on Sundays and holidays," I was in trouble because there was no suitable shop.

In such a situation, I found this CAVATAPPI (Cavatappi).

The name of the store is from a wine opener, and I love Italian with the owner chef who loves Sicily! It is a homey shop with 4 staff members.
The place is on the second floor of the building next to the main gate of Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School, which is a bit difficult to understand, but there are 28 seats at the counter and table seats, which is just the right size for a small party.

I made a reservation by the time I checked the business day, but when I told my friend who was supposed to come with me that I couldn't come, I said warm words, "It's a pity."
Neighbors were eating with a large number of children, but this kind of warm care is why the neighbors favor it.

On this day, I received a seasonal Hiroshima oyster and spinach peperoncino.
It's just 1,000 yen with vegetable salad and drinks.
The oysters are crisp, large grains, and the simple sauce enhances its taste.
The oysters were delicious~ It was a dish that seemed to be shy.

　 　

 

Regular holidays are irregular, and it is generally open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, but I think it is better to check for the time being.
