Ginza Sake Gallery Kojiya Sanshiro Sake Store Experience Report & Special Tasting Party

[Silver] September 9, 2014 09:00

 I rushed to the opening of the store on September 3.

If I couldn't wait for the opening of the store, it seemed to be the first ride, at 17:30, it seemed to be early.

Sake teacher Reiichi Fujita proceeded with "Oshu no Oho" saying "First of all!" This white sake is also called Nigori sake and Doburoku. It seems to be called an active sake. This is delicious!

Next, we peek into the showcase where sake is cooled to a reasonable temperature.

I ordered "Junmai Ginjo sake Shirokami".

This sake is made from spring water in Shirokami, which contains nutrients from the beech old growth forest in the Shirakami Mountains designated as a World Natural Heritage Site. After thousands of years of eternal time, he was reborn as alcohol. It is like the gift of the god of nature.

"Stern Light" in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture. The label of the color of the fishing fire expands the image of the fishing port, and the scenery of tuna fishing boats mooring dozens of hold is revived.

This liquor was introduced as "The name of the sake that started up from the earthquake in Kesennuma is" Tomoshibi ".

The pitch to drink was too fast, so the manager manager Takahiro Nishino recommended "Water in the Shirakami Mountains".

 The water from the Shirakami Mountains, designated as a World Natural Heritage Site, was very mellow and the wife who tasted the water from the plastic bottle brought home said, "It's a really smooth and gentle water!"

Next is the good luck of Kai. I'm going to open my luck. It seems good to use it at a shipping company.

 Then, thinking about the next time, next time I would like to drink "Large Kinmochi", when I raised my waist, I entered the store and entered the store.

There is a person who served "daiginjo Yumachi".  Mr. Katsuhiko Okazaki, sales section manager of Honke Kotobuki Toraya Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., a brewing company in daiginjo Yumachi.

The company is located in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture-93-1 Kitada, Nakazato, Yamagata Prefecture, near Yamadera visited by Basho, and is about 20 km away from Chuo-ku and its sister city, Higashine City. The feeling of longing for a trip is stirred up.

 "The voice of cicada soaking in the quietness and rocks" I want to enjoy quietly with sake during the long night of autumn. By the way, it is "Notice of special tasting of Kojiya Sanshiro Sake Store Opening Memorial".

For three days from September 11 to 13, from 18:00 to 22:00, what! It seems that you can drink about 100 kinds of alcohol alone and $ 3,500 with souvenirs. What do you do? I have to be careful not to drink too much.

The store is located on the 1st floor of Tokai Building, 1-23-4 Ginza, Chuo-ku, telephone: 03-5579-9744. That's right.

 

 

Anago is delicious! [Nihonbashi Tamai]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 7, 2014 09:00

With the introduction of a gourmet senior, I went to anago specialty store Tamai Nihonbashi Muromachi store.

The place was just a short walk from the intersection of Edo-dori St. and Chuo-dori. It is a convenient place to walk from JR Kanda Station, Shin-Nihonbashi Station, and in front of Mitsukoshi Subway Ginza Line.

tam1.JPGThe shop has a retro atmosphere that was burned down in the Tokyo Air Raid in 1945, creating a Showa atmosphere. Inside the shop is full and reservations are required.

tam2.JPGI ordered the popular "Anago Box Meshi / Mid Box". For the seasoning of anago, select "Ainose" where you can enjoy both "boiled" and "yaki". First of all, as it is, "Fuwafuwa" is this, and then add condiments such as yuzu skin, green onions, wasabi, and sesame. Put the soup stock from the baked bone and bonito flakes to pickle it. I enjoyed the blissful time for a while

tam4.JPGThe sashimi and tempura served on the course before the box meal arrived were also really delicious, especially the sashimi of anago is the first time, and I am surprised at the texture that is completely different from the texture of "boiled" and "burned".

Indeed, anago is delicious

Tamai, anago specialty store, has a main store near Nihonbashi Takashimaya, and also has a store in Coredo Muromachi 2.

☆Let's get over the remaining heat with Belgian beer!

[Conquering Show Lew ☆] September 2, 2014 17:00

The event in August of this year in Chuo-ku is one of the three major festivals in Edo and is the Reitaisai festival Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, the main festival once every three years.

 

The hot summer was excited at the "Spring Festival"!

 

2 weeks from then...It has become quite cool...

  

I think that the heat will return in September and it seems that you can enjoy the summer a little more! !

 

So, I would like to introduce some stores in Chuo-ku, especially those who like beer.

 

"Beer Cafébrugg Szotto" is located on the second floor of COREDO Muromachi 2.

 

You can taste about 100 kinds of Belgian beer and traditional Belgian cuisine such as mussel dishes such as mussel dishes, such as barrel beer directly imported in Japan's first landing, and the atmosphere of the shop is also great! !

  

Let's get over the remaining heat with Belgian beer!

The name of the shop is "Ginza Sake Gallery Kojiya Sanshiro Sake Store".

A sake master is a word that you can't hear.

 
 We asked about the concept of the shop, etc.

A retro tofu shop in Ningyocho

[Hidekun] September 1, 2014 14:00

This time, I would like to introduce the retro tofu shop "Takayanagi Tofu Shop" in Ningyocho.

I entered the alley on the way from the intersection of amazake Yokocho toward Tokyo Metro Suitengumae Station.

Founded in 1927, it is a long-established store that has been running for four generations to date.

The exterior is a retro copper-plated signboard construction (*) with a taste, and there is no plan to rebuild it at this time.

(*) Architectural style often seen during the reconstruction period following the Great Kanto Earthquake. The feature is that the front of the building is flat, and it is finished with a copper plate from the viewpoint of fire prevention.

Tofu shop 1.png

The tofu shop is early in the morning, and for customers who come to buy tofu for breakfast, we open a shop around 5:00 in the early morning and start making tofu. According to the shop owner, "In the past, a nearby public bath was opened around 2 o'clock in the middle of the night when the business was closed."

There are about 30 types of tofu to be sold, such as Kinu tofu, Momen tofu, fried tofu, edama tofu with green soybeans, and sesame tofu with sesame. It seems that there are many customers who want tastes that are not available at supermarkets and convenience stores.

A long-established specialty store is still alive in Chuo-ku. Why don't you enjoy the special taste of the specialty store?
