Sushi lunch in Ginza ★Sushi Aoki

[Mapo ★] Nov. 28, 2013 09:00

Ginza Restaurant Week is held every year from the second half of October to the first half of November.

This means that restaurants in Ginza can be eaten for 3,000 yen for lunch, regardless of genre.

This time, I tried sushi.

I've never been sushi in Ginza until now (I bought Kubei's Ehomaki).

Because there are so few things you can eat.

 

When I was a child, the raw material smelled raw and I couldn't accept it, and I could only eat shrimp or eel.

I went to delicious fish places such as the Sea of Japan and said, "Because this is different."

After eating, I thought "I was deceived again" (laughs).

 

After the age of 35, it became possible to eat it if it was flattened.

I began to think it was delicious.

 

My husband likes sushi, so I can eat more in the last 10 years. 

Sea bream and sea bass can now be eaten well.

If tuna is a big toro, you can eat it as meat (laughs).

 

That's why this time it is located on the second floor of Natsuno Honten, a shop specializing in chopsticks.

I went to a sushi restaurant named Aoki.

I can't eat shellfish, and I am

I told you that my master could not eat shellfish.

 

It's 3000 yen with 9 sticks and red soup.

You can hold it in front of you, so it will double the deliciousness!

Hirame kelp tightening, engawa, Nakatoro, Shimaguro, Kohada, shimesaba, shrimp, Anako, boiled octopus.

For me, the flat kelp tightening was the best.

And Nakatoro also went well.

The tuna was pickled, so it didn't smell much raw.

I wasn't good at shining things.

After all, I was impressed that it was delicious.

By the way, my husband ordered an additional amount, but 1000 yen per tan!

But it seems that it was very delicious with its original taste.

 

I originally love sushi rice, so I love sushi rice.

I wonder if sushi is good from now on.

Also, I would like to inform you of delicious sushi information.

Mikasa Kaikan "Fried Chicken"

[Mr.Chuo-ku] Nov. 26, 2013 09:00

 Mr. Mikasa Kaikan in Ginza, Chuo-ku. It has a history and is famous for its delicious food, so I think many people know it.

 

Mikasakaikan.jpg

 

It seems that this Mikasa Kaikan provided the first fried chicken at the restaurant.

According to the website of the Japan Karaage Association, "Modern Karaage" appeared on the restaurant menu around 1932 in the predecessor of the current Mikasa Kaikan Co., Ltd. (Ginza 5-chome, Tokyo). That's it. "

 
Examples in the menu table of Mikasa Kaikan↓
Fried chicken with fried sesame salt and mustard.
A gem that is polished with a secret sauce and a technique that has been handed down.
3 ¥600 5 ¥1,000

Pre-opening of Ginza Bakery

[Mapo ★] Nov. 23, 2013 09:00

The place where the radio was recorded was Kyobashi, so I suddenly found a shop on the Ginza 1-chome road that I don't usually go through.
Ginza bakery

What? Is it a bakery? After recording, I stopped by thinking of going to buy bread.

 

Then it's not a bakery, but a baked confectionery shop.
A very nice store manager told me a lot, and in fact our shop is that ginbis.

Oh, oh? That ginbis? Is it a thin sesame biscuit and a tattery animal?
And Ginbis' gin was Ginza's gin.
I had been in Osaka since I was a child, so I didn't have the head of a Ginza company.
 

Originally, a confectionery called Miyamoto Seika opened a sales office and restaurant in Ginza and changed its name to "Ginza Bakery".

And the biscuit called Gibisco received an award, and the company name was changed to Gibis Co., Ltd.

I heard that the thin candy was asparagus, and I remembered it was such a name.
 

RIMG1571.JPG  RIMG1572.JPG

 

It seems that this shop actually has been pre-opened since it was pre-opened in February.
We are now exploring various things that will become signboard products, and it seems that it will be grand opening after the product is completed.
I hope that you will be able to make a very special product! That's why I'm looking forward to it.
 

RIMG1573.JPG  RIMG1570.JPG

 

 

There are a lot of cookies, and there are cafes on the first and second floors, so there are some cookies along with coffee. ♪ It's a place where you can do it.

I bought a thin asparagus biscuit (potato).
There are plain, green soybeans and potatoes, but they are softer and crisper than asparagus.
And I'm glad that it's not fried in oil! It went well with wine.★
 

RIMG1579.JPG  RIMG1574.JPG

 

And there are such products~ (* ^^*)
There is a biscuit sandwiched with fresh cream inside. It's cold, so the biscuit is fluffy and looks like castella.
But it's not a strong egg castella, but it's soft with the savory taste of biscuit. It's my favorite taste and texture.

 

RIMG1576.JPG  RIMG1577.JPG

I had this sandwich and coffee for a taste (*^^ *)

 

I would like to go back to the grand opening.★

Tsukiji "Bon Marche Deli & Bar"

[Apricot peony] Nov. 14, 2013 09:00

ck12031113 (2). jpg
Located at the intersection of Harumi-dori St. and Shin-ohashi-dori St., Bon Marche, located on the second floor of the KY Building, is a popular restaurant in the Tsukiji Market.

 

You can easily enjoy a part of the menu of "Bon Marche" at a bar-style shop at "Bon Marche Deli & Bar" on the first floor.

ck12031113 (6). jpg



From 17:00 to 21:00, it is the perfect bar time for drinking choi, but from 11:00 to 16:00, Delhi & sweets time centered on takeout.

In particular, takeout lunch at lunchtime is super recommended.

 

ck12031113 (4). jpgFirst of all, the chef's special daily lunch that you can't understand the contents until that day.

Initially, it was limited to 10 meals a day, but now it is limited to 15 meals due to its popularity.

 

There are many meats such as chicken and pork, but despite the price of 630 yen, there was also a day called "Wagyu Steak Bento" the other day.

I was really lucky when I hit this day.

 

And there are also pasta lunch and soup on a special daily menu.

The soup changes depending on the day, such as minestrone, pumpkin potage, and bird dumplings.

ck12031113 (1). jpg ck12031113 (8). jpg

 

And my favorite is homemade focaccia sandwiches.

There are two kinds of dishes every day, but the contents are daily such as vegetable cheese, BLT and omelet.

ck12031113 (7). jpg


At lunchtime, a set of 320 yen sandwiches and a 350 yen soup for a single item is 525 yen, which is super advantageous.

Both sandwiches and soups contain plenty of ingredients, so this alone is quite satisfactory.

The burdock and potato potage of this day was irresistible with the good scent of burdock all the way home.

 

ck12031113 (10). jpgWhat's more nice is that we also sell "Orimine Baker's" bread near St. Luke's.

Originally, "Orimine", which sells folding boxes in the out-of-market market, started this bakery with the desire to make delicious bread.

Nowadays, not only have a lot of fans in the neighborhood, but also has been featured in the media and it is a famous shop among bread lovers.

It's really helpful because you can buy it along the riverside without going to St. Luke's.

 

In addition, sweets also have various cakes besides the original chiffon cake named "HARUMI", and it is very valuable in Tsukiji, where there are surprisingly few cake shops.

ck12031113 (5). jpg ck12031113 (3). jpg

 

ck12031113 (9). jpgThis Delhi & Bar has been open for half a year since it opened, but the staff is very bright and friendly, including sommelier qualified Lin Taro, so there are many regulars, `` I'm requesting an egg foccia sandwich ~ "or "I didn't exist yesterday, but was it closed?" You can see the scenery where you can easily call out, such as "

The peaceful conversation between these staff and regulars is a very human-rich atmosphere of Tsukiji.

 

Speaking of Tsukiji, there are many people who think "sushi" as "seafood bowl", but there are also such stylish shops, so please come and visit us.

 

 

 

"Tsukiji" bakery <Orimine Bakers>

[whatever] Nov. 12, 2013 09:00

 The bus guide volunteer of "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2013" held on November 4, regretting that it was a poor guide, but I intend to do my best. It was finished safely without any accident, and bus stop number 1 `` Tsukiji '' was at the meeting dissolution place, and my shoulders were down and I was hungry, so I decided to stop by nearby `` Orimine Bakers '' and buy it home I did it.

 This is a bakery that is sometimes introduced in the media, but if you look up on the Internet, it is said that it is a shop produced by a long-established store that sells chopsticks, folding boxes, packaging items, etc. for restaurants called "Tsukiji Orimine" in the out-of-office market. Certainly, why is the design of the bag or box that puts the product cute? Also, those who came to the former Sinifian Sinifier are welcomed as advisors. That's why I'm convinced that it's delicious. By the way, "Sinifian Sinifier" has a store on the first basement floor of Takashimaya in Nihonbashi, and although the price may seem to be high, it is a bakery with a very tasteful baguette where you can feel the taste of wheat. Of course, the baguette of Orimine Bakers is also fluffy with air bubbles inside the outside!

 

 By the way, "Are" is "Iidako Focatcha", but unfortunately it was sold out on this day. But please take a look at this one you took before. It has an exquisite saltiness and a habitual taste. It's good to be like Tsukiji on the fish shore! There was also a shirasu version. On this day, I was attracted to Koshianpan and seasonal chestnuts and purchased a Danish like Mont Blanc. Koshianpan walked and eaten on the way home. Before taking a picture ... the bread dough was very moist, and the salted cherry blossoms on the top complemented the elegant sweetness of Koshian. Chestnut denish was a soft sweetness that felt the taste of the chestnut itself.

 The area is fixed, but it seems that they will also deliver home delivery. Anyway, there are many types, and I'm always wondering which one to choose. From this month, it seems that we are accepting reservations for the Christmas season confectionery "Stolen", which represents Dresden in Germany, until November 30. This looks delicious too.

 

 As an aside, when I was a student, I worked part-time for a waitress at a sushi restaurant near this bakery. I found this shop when I was looking for it while wondering if it was still there. I remember that there was a tenement house around here, but it changed a lot, so I couldn't find a sushi restaurant that worked part-time. However, the nearby children's house remained unchanged, and I felt very nostalgic.

 

 All of them are delicious bread, so why not stop by here and stroll around Tsukiji, Akashicho, and Sumida River Terrace with your favorite bread?

A shop specializing in buckwheat flour crepes [Bretz Cafe Krapley Ginza store]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 6, 2013 09:00

bre1.JPG

 

 

This shop is located right next to Yasuaki Elementary School.

The buckwheat flour crepe "Gallette" is a traditional dish of the Brittany region in northwestern France.

 

bre2.JPG

 

 

The shop has a deep depth, and the walls are decorated with rustic designs (surely Brittany) plates, creating a calm atmosphere. I entered at the same time as the opening of the store at 11:30, but it quickly became full.

bre3.JPG

 

 

 

First of all, cider

And the soup is Brittany fish and shell soup (foreground) and green pea soup. The soup of fish and shellfish was rich and very delicious.

bre4.JPG

 

 

The galette is tail email (October only).

Mushroom poire, scallop scallops, bacon, cheese, fresh cream. The cider goes on.

bre5.JPG

 

 

Galette Conte (limited to Ginza store, this was also limited to October).

Conte cheese, Basque-grown ham, green salad, French dressing, raisins, hazelnuts.

The crepe of buckwheat flour is thin, but it has a nice scent.

About 20 years ago, I remember that the galettes I ate in a port town in Brittany were simple only for eggs and ham, so the large amount of these "guilts" was surprising.

 

The store's response is very good, and I'm looking forward to the menu of the galette in November. I have to order dessert next time.
