Sunlight at Harumi Wharf

[Shitamachi Tom] January 30, 2018 14:00

Harumi Wharf is an important point of transportation in the sea where many cruise ships berth, but it is also a recommended place as a walking course in Chuo-ku.

 
Mariners Court_201801(4)_R.jpgLooking at the Rainbow Bridge in front, it is magnificent to see the boat going through Tokyo Port.
The neat appearance of the passenger ship terminal is also worthy of the sea entrance.
 
Around Harumi Wharf, construction to create an athlete village for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is accelerating. In the near future, a modern residential building will appear around here.

At the time of the Olympics, many foreign players will surely interact with residents and tourists. . I am looking forward to seeing the history of international exchange in Chuo-ku once again.


Mariners Court_201801(3)_R.jpgOne of the landmarks of this area is [Mariners Court Tokyo], which is popular with local residents. Since it is a related facility for seafarers, the lobby is decorated with a fine cruise ship model.

A napkin is folded into the shape of a ship and set on the table when the banquet is held. Outside the window, the sparkling sea spreads out, making you feel like you are eating on a large ocean liner.



You may enjoy drinking and eating comfortably and feel like you are shaken by the waves.

Please enjoy a stroll around the Harumi area in search of a time to rediscover the charm of Bay Front Chuo-ku.

The okonomiyaki restaurant has a delicious hamburger set meal [Tsuruhashi Kichin]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 27, 2018 14:00

"Tsuruhashi Kichin" is an okonomiyaki and teppanyaki shop located in Tokyo Square Garden in Kyobashi.

Earlier, I introduced Okonomiyaki set meal on this blog.

turuha201801.JPG

The location is Kyobashi 3-chome, a corner of the intersection of Chuo-dori and Kajibashi-dori, the first basement floor of Tokyo Square Garden (red place on the map below).

turuha201800.jpg

Today, I would like to introduce the Japanese-grown beef grated hamburger set meal with lunch menu.

It comes with rice, soup, seasonal side dishes, salad and pickles.

turuha201802.JPG

It's a sense of fulfillment that you can't imagine as a restaurant for okonomiyaki and teppanyaki.

The hamburger has a crisp surface and a juicy inside.

The hamburger you eat with grated radish is not too heavy and is perfect for lunch menu.

I love it.

turuha201803.JPG

The shop is open at 11:30.

It will be crowded at 12 o'clock during lunch time, so we recommend entering the store early.

A shop where both pizza and pasta are delicious [Pitzer Salvatore Kuomo Higashiginza]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 25, 2018 16:00

It is "PIZZA SALVATORE CUOMO Higashiginza", a real Italian restaurant located on the first floor of Prime Maison Ginza East, Tsukiji 1-chome.

It faces Heisei Dori and is on the south side of Tsukijibashi.

salv201801.JPG

I visited the lunch menu.

The lunch menu is from 11:00 to 15:00, where you can choose a pizza set and pasta set, both of which have salads, soups, desserts, drinks, and kiln-baked focaccia in today's recommended pizza (pasta).

It seems to be a pitzeria produced by Salvatore Kuomo, a meritorious person who spread Napleli pizza to Japan, and the pizza here is characterized by thin fabric, the surface crispy, the inside is sticky and delicious, but this time I will introduce pasta.

salv201803.JPG

First, salad and soup.

salv201804.JPG

From the pasta you can choose, "Clams, Spring Chrysanthemum, Fried Eggplant Arabiata".

Arabiata is a tomato sauce with a moderately spicy pepper, has a solid volume, and is satisfied.

There's a lot of clams, and there's a focaccia.

This kiln-baked focaccia is also delicious.

You can also choose a drink.

salv201805.JPG

It is a dessert jelly. It is a bite dessert, but it is citrus and refreshes it.

salv201802.JPG

It is a very convenient shop that can be taken out and delivered.

Enjoy rakugo at Yabu Izu Sohonten

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] January 23, 2018 09:00

After enjoying walking around the city of Ginza with eight elementary school alumni on Saturday, January 20, a boy who is familiar with rakugo (alumni association for the first time in 40 years, a group of alumni living in Kanto will forever be boys and girls) ), I went to Yabu Izu Sohonten, which is close to Showa-dori in Nihonbashi. For me, it's like a first-year rakugo. What kind of story can you listen to?

 

Expectations are even more exciting for the massive restaurant-like gate that suddenly appeared in the office district of Nihonbashi.

 

Yabu Izu. jpg 

We were greeted by a little-talked landlady, and we went to the parlor on the third floor.

 

This is jpg 

I heard the rakugo of Harufutei Ichiza and Asanosuke. The story of the common people and lords of Edo living humorously and robustly are depicted by the two. Especially in Koganemochi, Imagawa Bridge, Honishi-cho, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Owaricho, Izumo-cho, Shimbashi, and the main street names of Edo, which cannot be removed from the city guide of Chuo-ku, came out one after another. .

 

After two hours passed quickly, Ichiza and Asanosuke went around the seats while having soba, laughing and answering any questions.

 

Show. jpgMr. Ichiza and Mr. Asanosuke 

 

When I talked with them, it was a time when I wanted to come and support me again.

 

Soba. jpg

According to the origins of the store, Yabu Izu Sohonten was a soba shop that flourished in Kyobashi under the name of "Izu Hon" in the Tenpo era (1830-1843) in Edo. In the Meiji era, it became "Yabu Izu" encompassing the long-established store "Yabu" and Japanese shop curtain, and it became a direct branch of "Yabu" (currently only Hamacho, Asakusa Namiki, Takanawa and these four stores). Even though I don't know much about rakugo, the fifth generation teacher Kosan Yanagiya, who saw her face in a commercial when she was young, had a single rakugo party at a shop in Kyobashi, and even now she moved to Nihonbashi. It seems that grandson Hana Midori and young rakugo artists are holding rakugo events.

 

Brochure. jpg 

The shops were kindly dealing with each other, and the number of information shops that could not be removed in Nihonbashi has increased. By all means, please go out.

In the words of the landlady, "Please enjoy soba and rakugo from Edo together."
