Good for a break to explore Ginza at Kamameshi Yakitori Torigin Main Store

[Silver] August 23, 2013 09:00

 Bom dia !

In the second half of August, a cool breeze was blowing in the morning and evening.
It was also a fun season to walk around the streets of Ginza and go back alleys.

Today, I went to "Torigin Honten", which is famous for Kamameshi and Yakitori in Ginza 5-chome.

The menu of Kamameshi is not only bird rice, but also abalone kamameshi and small pillar kamameshi. Tea bowl steaming, soup, and pickles are added to the photo.

Though it looks small, the picture is taken when the half was tasted.

It's a good idea to eat yakitori during the waiting time and wait for the cooked rice to be ready.

Of course, if time permits, Avotre sante!

 
"Ginza of the world". There are many famous shops hidden behind the alleys in a sophisticated and stylish city. Please enjoy exploring Ginza.
Please refer to the following blog for details. Enjoy Ginza !

Ginza Grape Tree ★Freshly made dessert

[Mapo ★] August 22, 2013 09:00

The Ginza Grape Tree is located on Azuma Street from Ginza 5-chome Harumi Street.

It is a dessert specialty store of Grapestone Co., Ltd., the same as the Tokyo Banana and Nenrin family.

Here you can enjoy freshly made hot desserts and cold desserts.

 

Because of Saturday, I think I waited for more than 30 minutes.

There were a lot of older people and uncles in the calm shop.

 

It was hot this day, so I thought it was refreshing, so I ordered Suffle O Citron.

My husband has a warm crepe szette.

A staff similar to Kenta Kiritani made a flanbe.

By the way, you can't order only drinks at the shop here.

 

R0012001.JPG R0012005.JPG

 

Both were tasty, but both were strong alcohol, so they were both delicious.

If you are not good at desserts with Western sake, be careful!

Perhaps that's why there were surprisingly many elderly men (* ^^*)

Chocolate cake and curry shop ★TOPS

[Mapo ★] August 19, 2013 09:00

It's also in Ginza Mitsukoshi, and it's often seen in the basement.

The gentle color chocolate cake is very famous, but it is very famous.

I found a curry shop of TOPS in Ginza!

 

The location is the first basement floor of the Miwa Building on Matsuya Street.

 

It looks like a cake that was originally served as a restaurant dessert.

Since it opened in Akasaka in 1964, it's been almost 50 years old.

 

Restaurants are currently located in Shibuya and Ginza.

 

There are two types of curry: Dayrich, European curry and spices hot.

R0011987.JPG R0011986.JPG

 

I topped with spice egg on spicy hot beef curry!

The set with TOPS cake (half quantity) was also attractive, but it was also attractive.

On this day, it was decided that I would go to eat cake after eating, so I chose curry only.

 

And there's only tomato salad.

It was difficult for a tomato NG couple to choose a set (laughs).

 

 

The shop here also has a small size that is rarely seen in the basement of Depa.

Actually, I haven't eaten the cake here yet.

Next time I'm going to buy a cake and eat it (*^^ *)

Showa Omurice Plate at Fujiya Restaurant in Sukiyabashi

[Mapo ★] August 17, 2013 14:00

There is Fujiya at the nearest station to my parents' house in Osaka.

I went there several times when I was a high school student, and even after I became an adult.

Because it was in front of the station, I used it to have tea with my friends.

 

But eating at a restaurant is probably the first time in more than 30 years (laughs).

 

That's why I went to Sukiyabashi store.

 

A great person even though it is daytime on weekdays.

The number of guests is overwhelmingly large with children, and the voice of the children is quite noisy.

But there are not many shops that can bring such children in Ginza.

It's okay because everyone is noisy here (laughs)

 

After that, for some reason, I have two grandpas.

Grandma's group, etc.

And grandpa and grandma with grandson.

 

People of that generation may have a sense of stability in Fujiya.

And Fujiya is not a surprise price even in Ginza.

There will be a sense of security (* ^^*)

 

I ordered a nostalgic Western-style plate.

If you look at this homepage, it is 1039 yen, but it is 1039 yen.

It was 1249 yen in Ginza. I wonder if this is Ginza price (laughs).

 

 

 R0012198.JPG R0012196.JPG

 

There is a window facing Harumi-dori St., and you can see the view of Ginza from the second floor.

 

Napolitan, omelet, and ham cutlet.

It's a ketchup and this is Showa again.

It was a nostalgic taste.

But each one is heavy and I can't eat everything ...

I haven't eaten much ham cutlet, but it's surprisingly delicious.★

 

This shop isn't a place where adults can eat slowly.

It is valuable as a shop where people with children can eat in Ginza without worrying about the surroundings!

Lunch tour in the Kabukiza area

[Shitamachi Tom] August 16, 2013 14:00

Kabukiza May. JPG
It has been almost five months since the Kabukiza Theater opened in a new style.

Even today, it is crowded in front of the theater with people who want to take commemorative photos as well as theater performances and try to stop by a little. I think that the effect of attracting people who have not been interested in Kabuki until now is great.

 

Kabuki Soba. JPG


Speaking of play performances, lunch boxes during the intermission and meals before and after the theater are also fun. In the afternoon and evening, there are many famous restaurants in the area.

Among them, the soba noodles "Miyagino", "Sandbox" and "Kabuki soba" are very popular. In addition, the cafe "Civilization-do", the Western food "Hayakawa", the curry "Bee House", and the stew "Silver Tower" are also shops with many repeaters.

It's likely that you will spend time while you're worried at lunch. So, today I would like to introduce you to my favorite destination shop. I think many people already know it, but if you haven't experienced it, try it once.

 

Purushi JPG
The first house is a casual French shop "Purushi". It's a small shop, so it's full right away. However, the taste is guaranteed. It is a shop where you will want to visit again at night if you are satisfied with lunch. The staff of the shop is also bright and energetic. A pleasant atmosphere is spreading.

Gubagu JPG
The second house is the hamburger specialty store "Gubagu". Various kinds of hamburgers are lined up on the menu and I am lost, but it's best to choose with intuition. There is also a counter-style seat, so you can easily enter by yourself. It is relatively good to rotate, so it may be an aim.

 

Ranuiil JPGThe third house is the ramen "La Nuil". The name and appearance of the ramen shop are not a little ramen shop, but the specialty is Tokyo ramen, which is proud of. There are a number of music-related items on the wall in the store. It has an atmosphere like a Western-style tavern, but it is a popular restaurant with many regulars.

 

P1120391_R.JPGOne more house. We introduced it in a wonderful series of people in the city, but the shop "Yagura" where the store manager is fine and the store is lively. We are proud of yakiniku, but at lunch, there is also a sukiyaki set meal, so it is quite delicious. The seats are spacious, making it perfect for a calm meal.

 

There are still other shops I would like to introduce, but today I'm here ... In any case, the Kabukiza neighborhood is full of interesting shops. Look for your favorite shop at lunchtime and walk along the alley. I'm sure there will be a new discovery.

 

 

 

Exciting chef's dish "El Matador"

[Apricot peony] August 14, 2013 09:00

In the alley where you can see the front of Kabukiza in Ginza 5-chome, Spanish cuisine "El Matador" has opened.

 

The first floor of the open-air style is a counter seat and a slightly elevated chair table seat, which feels like a casual bar, but if you get down underground, it is large enough to accommodate 40 people, like a dining room in a Spanish nobleman's residence.

ck1203_130818 (2). jpg 

There are 6 types of lunch on weekdays.

There are two types of "Melosso", Valencia's representative rice dish, Kaneroni, and today's meat dish, each of which is selected.

And appetizers and bread and drinks, it's 1000 yen.

(Click the left photo to see a large image.)

The appetizer

Green salad, creamy mashed potatoes,

Maltadella ham and Spanish-style omelet

There are plenty of things.

The Spanish-style omelet was so delicious that I wanted only this one.

ck1203_130818 (5). jpg
On this day, there were roasts of domestic pork shoulder and stewed large meatballs in Spanish style, but I chose "large clams, small pillars and tomato melosso".

It was a bit like a risotto, and there were plenty of clams and small pillars, but it was crisp and I ate in no time.

ck1203_130818 (6). jpg 

The staff is bright and comfortable, inside, too.

From the very cute but firm "Kyeong-chan"

"The menu says 'Exciting Chef's Cooking'," he said.

"What's exciting is 'food'? Or "Chef"? When asked, he answered, "I'm both."

ck1203_130818 (4). jpg 

The chef whose birthday was just on this day was a seemingly charming handsome, but I thought that there was also one side of `` exciting '', and next time I thought I would like to enjoy `` exciting chef's exciting meat dishes '' I thought.
