[The Minnie Cricket] February 19, 2019 09:00

"Ginza Honjinbo" is located on the basement floor of the 27th Chuo Building in Ginza 2-chome.

gosiki201901.JPG

This is a shop already introduced on this blog.

The location is just between Chuo-ku government office and Showa-dori.

gosiki201902.JPG

The soba is delicious, the menu is wide, and the inside of the store is quiet and relaxed, so I often use it for lunch.

gosiki201903.JPG

Today's recommendation, I ordered daily rice bowl and stone milled soba

Today's daily rice bowl is "seafood five-colored bowl"

I ordered a warm soba noodles.

Goshiki-don is a tuna, green onions, buri, salmon, and whitebait. It is large and fresh.

The combination of seafood bowl and delicious soba is the best.

gosiki201904.JPG

From Monday to Friday, lunch time from 11:30 to 14:30 and dinner time from 17:30 to 22:00.

Kyobashi Take out health-conscious spice curry "Kyobashi-ya curry"

[Inochan] 12:00 on February 18, 2019

 

Kyobashi-ya curry is located on the site of the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Aomono Market. Previously, this shop was exclusively for take-out

I told you that it was a gate shop, but the story of the curry was still important.

 

The previous article is here /archive/2018/12/post-5825.html

 

IMG_2662.jpg

 

Kyobashi-ya curry is additive-free and does not use flour. Even if you have a gluten allergy, feel safe

You can eat it. This curry is gentle to the body, which does not let your stomach lean.

 

I'm specializing in take-out, so I'm at an office, at home, or at a picnic feeling Kyobashi or Ginza E

Please enjoy curry under the blue sky of the rear.

 

IMG_2663.jpg

 

The curry that I like curry more than three times is common to the curry that I eat repeatedly.

Feeling and disappearing taste. Disappearing taste is the taste that disappears from the mouth without leaving anything extra.

It is an ideal form of curry where you can feel the effect of spices.

 

The original spice curry with no miscellaneous taste of Kyobashi-ya curry can be tasted at other stores.

It's the only one. It's only here, so I want to come back to eat again.

 

This time I ordered triple curry.

Dry Date Chicken Curry, Tokie Curry, and Keema at once.

 

IMG_2605.jpg

 

IMG_2621.jpg

 

The dry Date chicken curry, which is completed by mixing several kinds of peppers, is quite exciting. Italy
We use chicken, but the spiciness is not Date. The rice goes on.
Recommended for those who do not feel like eating curry if it is not spicy.

 

IMG_2617.jpg

 

Kyobashi-ya curry, which carefully selects all ingredients from all over the country, is also exceptional for rice.

It is also best matched with curry. The amount of rice is relatively large, but it is delicious.

I'll be flattered without difficulty. Women may be less likely.

 

IMG_2647.jpg

The photo is a trial S-size rice (200g). It is dry herb on top.

 

Well, I'm worried about Tokie Curry. This creative thing. Something else is your eyes?
I can't. It is a complete original menu. The name "Tokie" is an ingredient.

It is derived from the acronym for a chicken, cabbage, and shrimp. Mami is served every time.

I'll be happy every time I get. The Professional.

 

IMG_2611.jpg

 

Herb-filled curry has become a must-have menu for myself. The base of taste
Chicken, cabbage with a slight texture, and homemade oil with shrimp flavor are trinity.
Hell. However, it does not cause a traffic jam on the taste. It tastes dissipated.

 

IMG_2644.jpg

Aim for a single win (?) I'm sure. Try S-size shrimp is one. It's cute.

 

Keema is good quality pork for shabu-shabu and tomato juice selected every time it is purchased

It is not spicy with the deep taste of the decisive factor, but umami and refreshing feeling. It's strange after a meal

I'm clean. If you are not good at spicy curry, please try keema.

 

IMG_2607.jpg

 

And this spoon is another item of Kyobashi-ya that I would like to introduce. Western food

It is often used for fish dishes, but it is also perfect for curry. Easy to rinse and tooth

It doesn't hit me, so I'm using it without stress. Accelerates the disappearance of curry

You'll get out of your mouth like that.

  

IMG_2653.jpg

 

It is on sale as a souvenir of Kyobashi with the logo of the shop. Desserts, not limited to curry

It looks good, so I personally tried to eat tiramisu with this spoon.

Yes.

 

Other take-out products such as frozen curry and special curry powder are available outside Chuo-ku.

Some are also sold at the Murakaramachikarakan on the first floor of the Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan in Yurakucho.

 

My husband developed chemical sensitivity, making it difficult to face-to-face sales from last year.

Kyobashi-ya curry. At first, I was worried, but it became a take-out specialty store.

So, even those who could not enter the store until now can taste the curry of Kyobashi-ya,

My husband also became less sick, so this shift is called Win-Win.

Yes.

 

Kyobashiya, please keep making delicious and healthy unique curry forever.

Room for Cake - Niina's shop

[The Little Monkey] 12:00 on February 14, 2019

"Room For Cake" is located near Tsukiji Outer Market and Kachidokibashi, a corner of Tsukiji that escaped the war. It looks like a small cake shop in Paris "room for cake"? What a stylish store name! When I asked Mr. Ina, a designer and cake decorator, Mr. Ishibashi, he said, "Sweets are different sides." It was a room in my stomach.

Photo 2019-02-07 12 01 03.jpg Photo 2019-02-07 11 57 51.jpg

 

Niina's house was located next to Akashicho, and the shop was opened here three years ago, because the child is small. When I lived in Germany before, I went to France, and the shop is also an image of Paris.
