Yasuaki-dori has noodle udon, pasta, Chinese noodles, ramen, and Japanese soba noodles.

[Silver] January 11, 2019 12:00

 The street on the other side of the road at Yasuaki Elementary School is called "Yasuaki Street". The address corresponds to Ginza 6-chome 2.

Yasuaki-dori has a lot of noodle specialty shops on streets that are not so long. I think it's a street where noodle passes.

1) "Udon Chaya" opened in July 2018. My address is Ginza 6-2-6.

Udon from Higashimatsuyama, Saitama Prefecture is used. This is a simple cut-out udon. On December 26, a couple who introduced the udon from Saitama Prefecture through an acquaintance came to eat and enjoyed the taste. Aside, I was listening to the story, and there was something that came with Jean. It was a warm story. The amount of "Kake udon" I received was about two balls. In addition to Mori Udon, Kake Udon ¥500 (tax included), there are meat udon, etc. There is also a one-cup liquor from each prefecture, ¥500.

2) "CANTINA SICILIANA" is an Italian restaurant with delicious pasta. There is also a shop of the same name in Higashiginza.

It is a good place to spend a relaxing time.

3) "Beijing Cuisine Dongseien" has visited about 10 times in the past. It is a delicious restaurant with a set meal. Of course, Chinese noodles are also delicious, and I'm happy to be able to talk slowly.

 There are two stores that have never been there yet.

4) "Menya Hyottoko" is a ramen specialty store.

5) "Yasuaki Soba" is a shop with the appearance of a venerable Japanese house. In addition to Japanese soba, there are also rice dishes.

Every day, even if you go on a daily basis, there are many shops with lots of noodles. Enjoy the noodles on Yasuaki Street.

 

 

Two souvenirs that can be purchased in Chuo-ku, which I chose when I returned home

[Hanes] January 11, 2019 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
I think many people living in Tokyo bought souvenirs when they returned home at the end of the year.
I was one of them, and thought, "I want to buy New Year's souvenirs in Chuo-ku!"
I bought some souvenirs in Tsukiji, Ginza.

■"Hishi Hanabira,"
This is a product of Shiga Taneya, not Ginza, but it is a product of Shiga Taneya.
Shops that can be purchased nationwide are limited, and there are three locations in the center: Ginza Mitsukoshi store, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi store, and Nihonbashi Takashimaya store.
When purchased at the Ginza Mitsukoshi store, the packaging says "Ginza Mitsukoshi store" and "Ginsan", which is said to have been purchased at Ginza (Chuo-ku).

DSC_3435.JPG

And on the inner hanging paper, it is written in seal engraving that "Is it as a noodle."
It is a sign of the Taneya Group with the meaning of "expressing using the words of the year ring and Laozi and expressing the continuation of the relationship", and it seems that it was written by calligraphers.
In addition to the packaging with rice ears, the paper is also auspicious and has a good appearance, so it is perfect for New Year's Day.

The most important thing is that it looks like this.
In addition, I also purchased "Yukiharu Enfuku Fukumi Tenpyo", but all were elegant and gorgeous, and were very satisfied Japanese sweets.

IMG_3723.JPG

■Coffee (* This is not a souvenir that is conscious of the New Year.)
There are many coffee shops and coffee shops in Chuo-ku, but there are many coffee shops and coffee shops.
When it comes to coffee like Chuo-ku that can be mailed and lasted for a long time, isn't it easy to come up with something like this?
So, what I recommend is the No.1 "City Blend" drip bag of Tsukiji Yonemoto Coffee's unsellable savourable No.1 "City Blend" drip bag.
It has a deep and fragrant taste that cannot be reckoned even if it is a drip.

IMG_3910.JPG

There are other coffee shops only in Chuo-ku where you can buy coffee beans, etc.
There are not many things on the package that you can see the uniqueness of Chuo-ku in Japanese and English.
How about souvenirs from Chuo-ku and gifts to acquaintances overseas?

In Chuo-ku, there are plenty of long-established products that can only be obtained here, store-limited products, and seasonal products.
It's easy to worry about choosing a souvenir, but you'll surely be happy to give it and you'll find a nice item to get it.

 

 

Birthday dinner at Ginza Sushiyuki Main Store

[Mapo ★] January 10, 2019 14:00

It's a sushi restaurant that I wanted to go here for a long time.

 

I ordered Hanriot champagne in half bottle.
After that, there is a Sushiyuki original wine called "wa".
It goes well with sushi, so I drank 3 cups.

 

susiko4.jpgsusiko1.jpg

 
I bought this wine in Seijo Ishii a few years ago and drank it.
At that time, I made it with sushi.

 
susiko7.jpgsusiko3.jpg

 

I think I'll leave the course to you.
You can choose sushi only or something with tidbits.

 

susiko5.jpgsusiko2.jpg

 

Sweet shrimp, horse mackerel, white horse mackerel and yellowtail sashimi,
After a charcoal-grilled snack of a throat tuna,
The grip is flat, thick, squid, kohada, how much, shiitake mushrooms,
Boiled conger eel, amberjack, amberjack skin, miso soup.

 

If there is something you want to eat here, you can add it.
I ordered a crab and shrimp.
And at the end, it was the end of the year, so the Date roll came out.

 

susiko9.jpgsusiko6.jpg

 
It was delicious.
The throat, boiled conger eel, amberjack skin, toro, and kanpyo roll were particularly exquisite.

 

susiko8.jpg

 
I went to the Ginza main store, but the website seems to be the only Marunouchi store.
The Ginza Main Store is located near Yasuaki Elementary School.

[Grand Open on January 11] It is also related to Tsukiji Namiki Shrine! Tsukiji's new specialty @TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store

[Hanes] January 10, 2019 14:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Join us on a tour for correspondents (it is a privilege of correspondents who can tour places that are not usually open to the public)
The other day, I went to Tsukiji Outer Market with Mr. Kozaru, a senior correspondent who was getting along well.

One of the merits of becoming a correspondent is that you can also interact with those who are interested in the history, culture, gourmet, events, etc. of Chuo-ku.
If you are looking for a companion to walk around the town, or if you are looking for a pioneering partner for Ginza / Tsukiji gourmet, please
Why don't you take the Chuo-ku sightseeing test and aim to be a correspondent?

By the way, the new specialty of Tsukiji in the title is the grand opening on January 11th.
You can have it at TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store produced by Tsukiji Oomiya Beef Store.
The place is on the left side of the narrow passage between Isemasa, a marine product, and Tsukiji Kimuraya, famous for Anpan.

IMG_3938.JPG
(It's around where you can see the signboard.)

The interior of the store has a brick motif that reminds you of Tsukiji during the Tsukiji Reservation period, and is stylish.
And because it is located behind the alley as you can see in the store name.
It's calm enough to think, "Is it really a Tsukiji Outer Market?", It looks like a hideaway.
Isn't it a perfect place when you want to relax a little in Tsukiji, where there are many people?

IMG_3934.JPG

IMG_3921.JPG

And the menu that is expected to become a new specialty is the menu.
Tsukiji sake lees Milk Mashiro (MASHIRO) and roast beef rice ball (RBO).

Tsukiji Deli.jpg

The visit was a pre-opening period before the grand opening.
We were able to get more (Plain) for half price of 100 yen!
The white rabbit (based on the legend of Kaga's Moon Rabbit) is very cute and seems to be a girl.
It's not just cute.

Tsukiji Deli 2.jpg

This drink was made of rice offered to the god of Tsukiji Namiki Shrine.
It is a blend of precious sake lees and milk from Kaga Hyakumangoku famous sake "Manzai Raku".
It is a drink close to the god who has been watching Tsukiji for a long time since the landfill and construction of Tsukiji.
It can be enjoyed by drivers, regardless of men and women of all ages.
Another point is that it is non-alcoholic.

The scent is very similar to the usual amazake, but I was surprised to drink it!
Certainly, you can see that sake lees are contained, but the richness of milk is as effective as sake lees, and it is very smooth.
It is a sweet that you drink with a new sense that you did not seem to have ever existed.

And sake lees have a lot of nice effects.
It is said that sesame, matcha, and kinako flavors are also recommended because each taste comes out.
Next time, I would like to have other flavors.

IMG_3918.JPG

Also, the roast beef in the case seemed to be too delicious.
I also had roast beef rice balls!
This is a roast beef of serloin, which has been established for 90 years this year, with the reputation of Oomiya Beef Store.
This is a kind of collaboration product that incorporates ingredients from shops in Tsukiji Outer Market as ingredients.

It seems that there will be six types later, but the tools at the time of the visit were "Oomiya Special Ponzutare", "Fujimoto Shoten Yuzukosho", "Edo Ichi Iida Mizansho", and "Suita Shoten Shisoshi Okonbu".
All of them look delicious and get lost.
Meanwhile, we chose "Suita Shoten Shisoshi Okonbu" (Kozaru-san) and "Fujimoto Shoten Yuzu Kosho" (Hans).

Tsukiji Deli 3.jpg
(Lower left: Shisoshio konbu, lower right: Yuzukosho)

The roast beef is very soft and I think, "Isn't it easier to bite than laver rice balls?"
Because it uses about 4g of roast beef, it has a volume.
I was thrilled that the rice ball part is rolled multiple times instead of one roast beef.

According to the shop, yuzu pepper is different from what you usually imagine, and it was fresh and a little bit crisp.
That's exactly right, the scent is very good, and I feel like "Yuzu pepper was so delicious."
The solid taste and commitment of the store providing the ingredients were also shining.

Tsukiji is also famous as a tourist destination, but it is also a workplace.
The TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store introduced this time excites the Tsukiji outside market with new products (new specialties).
It seems that people working in Tsukiji can also drop in casually and aim to make it a shop that can be used.
Of course, the word of mouth of tourists is also helpful, but it is those who work in the land who know hidden famous shops.
Even in Tsukiji, there are many shops that have become popular because they are said to be "Tsukiji professional purveyors" or "Tsukiji site related purveyors".
Therefore, it is also important to gain the support of those who work at Tsukiji.

This is currently called "Roast Beef Onigiri (RBO)", but we are actually looking for a name! (Deadline is February 28, 2019)

IMG_3917.JPG

For those who have been hired, what! A meat chunk of sirloin roast beef equivalent to 3kg will be presented.
When you showed me how much it actually is, it seems to be this much.
Isn't it quite a lot?

IMG_3928.JPG

When you come to Tsukiji, please taste this rice ball and participate in the name recruitment campaign.
There's not a lot of such a luxurious and hungry campaign.

In addition, mackerel miso boiled (frozen), which was taken over by Chiaki third generation of fish riverbank, is also treated as a hidden specialty.
It's thick, has a strong taste and looks delicious.

IMG_3929.JPG

In addition, we also sell goods such as fashionable bags, T-shirts, and can badges with cute rabbits.
When you shop at Tsukiji, the number of plastic bags will increase, right?
In such a case, this bag is just right for putting your luggage together, and the town is well attached.
I'm glad that it can be used as a souvenir of Tsukiji and can be used everyday.

IMG_3933.JPG

The shop is kind and comfortable, and I think it is a shop that will become more and more talked about in the future.
Why don't you go to taste the new specialties a little earlier?
