Tsukishima is a delicious Western-style restaurant with monja

[Silver] February 26, 2014 14:00

 Tsukishima is famous for "Monjayaki", and Nishinakanaka-dori, which is lined with shops, is called "Monja Street" etc.

But to say hard, it is officially "Nishinaka-dori", so thank you.

 

By the way, today, we walked from Ginza 4-chome to Tokyo Big Sight in the final walking of the Tokyo Marathon Course this year.

 Study about the history and buildings of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, and the site of St. Luke's College of Nursing is the site of Takumi Asanouchi's residence, the birthplace of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and the birthplace of Keio University.

Akashicho had foreign consulates such as the U.S. Embassy, Portugal, Peru, Switzerland and Spain, and was called Tsukiji Reservation.

See monuments such as Women's Academy, Aoyama Gakuin, Rikkyo Girls' School, Women's Seigakuin, etc., and enjoy studying the origin of the mission school's predecessor, visited Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine in Tsukuda, and entered Tsukishima. Was.

Looking at the second floor of the building in Tsukishima town, you can feel nostalgic about the remnants of the old shop.

In Tsukishima, we were divided into groups who wanted to eat monjayaki and those who loved Western food, and everyone was satisfied.

Mr. Yamazaki and Mr. Miura of Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Mr. Shiho Shingu of Miss Chuo, the 31st Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador.

 The tourist association's selling item is a furoshiki inspired by Chuo-ku, which is stylish.

At a famous restaurant, it is used as a "bandana" forArt customers.

 My acquaintance has a warm lunch box wrapped around love for her husband.

This time, it is very popular because the color of Edo purple is added and you can enjoy it from three colors.

Among the new products of Eitaro Sohonpo, Ninben, and Yamamoto-noriten, which had been opened.

Seasoned seaweed with green onion miso flavor by Nori Yamamoto. This is a nostalgia seasoned laver.

It reminds me of Park leaf miso that I tasted more than 3.0 years ago

It was a nostalgic seasoning, and I bought it without hesitation after the tasting.

This is it. This is! I immediately enjoyed it as a rice ball.

By all means, please try it once with the gem of Eitaro and Ninben.

A snowy weekend
We took a break at Kissako Kaiseiken, located just outside the intersection of Ningyocho-dori and amazake Yokocho.

It was founded in 1919 (1919)

It's a moon-like expression, but a retro atmosphere. The red enamel sofa chairs, the stained glass of windows facing the street, and the lamp from the ceiling are good.

The ordered blended coffee is fragrant, has a good balance of bitterness and acidity, and smooth.

The cleanliness felt from the entire store is a very cozy healing space.

By the way, "cafe away" means "tea tea" in Zen language.

truffle specialty store Muccini in Ginza

[Apricot peony] February 19, 2014 09:00

Recently, there was "truffle Sauce" in a family restaurant menu, but truffle is a high-class ingredient that is still unfamiliar to ordinary people like me.

However, as expected, a shop specializing in truffle opened last year.

ck1203_20140218(9). jpg ck1203_20140218 (2). jpg

 

The place is Kabukiza Ura, near the exit of Higashi-Ginza Station on the Toei Subway, and there are many fashionable Italian shops such as the famous Ochiai chef "La Bettla da Ochiai".

 

The restaurant's name "Muccini" is an Italian gastronomy brand and offers a variety of products that condenses the charm of high-quality truffle in the Marquee region near the Adriatic Sea, including dry truffle, truffle salt, truffle olive oil and truffle sauce.

 

There are 5 counter seats in the store, and you can eat these items like eat-in.

There is also lunch, pasta and risotto made with truffle, wine, bread from Asanoya, and dessert.

I went with my friends at this time, so I asked for "Black Summer truffle's Risotto" and "Black Summer truffle's Talia Telle" for better taste of truffle.

 

First of all, the bread served on the wine is accompanied by truffle salt and truffle olive oil.

The bread is usually eaten with butter, but when the flavor of truffle is added, it feels really plump and surprised.

ck1203_20140218 (3). jpg ck1203_20140218 (1). jpg

 

Since risotto is boiled from raw rice, it takes a little time, so at first from the black summer truffle Taliatelle.

ck1203_20140218 (8). jpgFrom the beginning, I shared it for two people and took it out, but surprisingly there was a lot.

What I know is "with truffle of XX" or "truffle sauce of XX", and it is the first time that Dawn and truffle are so luxurious.

Not only the scent, but also the slightly stiff texture is impressive.

Isn't it unique to this shop that truffle itself plays a leading role?

 

ck1203_20140218 (4). jpgAnd the next risotto is the specialty menu of the shop.

It seems that they are simply using bouillon, but I feel that all the charms of truffle are blended in.

 

There was also the finest white truffle sent directly to Italy, and there was also a menu that was sauteed and served with fried eggs.

 

At the beginning of last year's opening, it was featured in various media such as television and magazines, partly due to the opening of the new Kabukiza Theater, but renowned critics have also been praised and visited many times It seems that the name has already been roared among gourmets.

 

ck1203_20140218 (5). jpgThere are also specialized books on truffle in the store, which is lined with various items such as truffle salt, truffle sauce and olive oil, and chefs and shops are very kind enough to teach you about the type of truffle and how to cook.

 

At the end of last year, many people seemed to be a little extravagant at home during Christmas and New Year's holidays, and they were very busy.

I also know Italian chef told me that only a little bit of truffle salt will make the taste of pasta completely different, so I would like to try it out.

My friend also thought so, and immediately after the meal he bought truffle sauce.

 

There is no doubt that your home cooking will be upgraded if you touch the charms of truffle at this store and purchase and use the items you like.

How about a little luxury?
