A luxury bread that sticks to Shikawa's water in Ginza

[Mapo ★] January 18, 2019 09:00

Ginza seems to be a boom in bread.
A new bakery opened next to Kyobashi Park in September 2018.

 

It is a shop called Shikawa, but the bread here is particular about water.
There is 60 water for 100 flour.
And by using alkaline ion water for the preparation water
It makes your ears moist like silk.
It seems that the melting of the mouth like light snow becomes a slightly sweet bread.

 

nisi2.JPG

 

It's really wasteful to bake it in a very fluffy way.
It's 864 yen for two loafs.
It seems that it can be stored at room temperature for 3 days including the day you bought it.

 

nisi3.JPG

 

Surprisingly, there are times when there are no queues at noon.

 
nishi1.JPG

 

What I thought was a little interesting was that I collaborated with "Kamawanu"
If you wrap it in a furoshiki with your name, it will be a souvenir of 2,000 yen (excluding tax).
It's smarter than a paper bag.

 

In January 2019, you will also enter Osaka Senba.♪

Delicious sashimi set meal [Tsukiji Fujimura]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 16, 2019 12:00

This is "Fujimura Tsukiji" on the first basement floor of the EURO Building, Tsukiji 2-chome.

I went to lunch at the recommendation of a regular and gourmet colleague here.

fjmr201901.JPG

The business hours were from 11:30 and arrived at 45 minutes on the day, but we were already waiting for three people.

As expected, it's a popular shop.

fjmr201902.JPG

I was able to wait for a while and sat down, so I ordered a limited menu "Turuna drop / Brain Tensashi Half" set meal.

Half size is enough.

fjmr201903.JPG

"Turuna dropout" was soft, sweet, fresh and delicious.

fjmr201904.JPG

"Brain Tensashi" is like a large toro with a large piece of fat. However, I like this brain stabbing better than Daitoro

The reception of the shop is also quick and comfortable.

fjmr201905.JPG

The “Tuna Middlefall / Brain Tensashi Half” I ate today was very delicious, but this shop has a reputation for being “Kaki Fly” (coworkers order this here) is also very delicious, so I would like to eat here next time I think

 

 

"Ginza 9-chome" found in Aizu

[wienerhorn] January 16, 2019 09:00

9, Ginza. jpg

Using the consecutive holidays, I went on a short trip to Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture on the Tobu Limited Express "Liberty Aizu". In the evening, when I was walking near the station, I saw the word "Ginza" and entered the store without hesitation. According to the story, it was said that the name was changed to "Ginza 9-chome" when returning to the local Aizu because the shop was previously operated in Ginza 8-chome.
A cocktail glass (about 70ml?) from locally brewed sake in Aizu, which has countless varieties. You can enjoy various kinds of sake in small quantities. All right. In Aizu, both water and rice are delicious, so there are a lot of good sake.
Then, at "Konbe", which is the same management at the next store, you can enjoy a variety of delicious seafood purchased directly from Toyosu Market every week (formerly from Tsukiji Market)! It is said that he goes to Tokyo to purchase every night bus, and his ability to take off his hat.
I think that a shop where you can enjoy such delicious sake and fish is valuable. For shime, from ordering to 10% soba noodles to be beaten!
A shop where you can enjoy the goodness of Aizu and Tokyo (Chuo-ku) at the same time. Why don't you go on a trip over the weekend?
I'll be a repeater. I'm going to do it next time.
