Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. It's Hanes, a new correspondent!
Recently, I got a sports bike for some reason, so I took a trial ride in the city.
Considering the traffic volume of pedestrians and cars in the city center, the maintenance of bicycle paths, etc.
Rather than enjoying running, I feel that pottering to enjoy visiting historical sites and shops is more suitable.

However, when it comes to sports bikes, pottering in the town is not enough....
One thing to say selfishness is that I want a variety of undulations and scenery.
This time, I would like to introduce a course (Hanes style) that fulfills such hope.
(* Photos in the article are taken at different times of multiple days.)

◼️ Seasonal Waterfront Course
Itinerary: Tsukiji - Toyomi - Harumi - Toyosu - Harumi - Kachidoki - Tsukiji
Time required (approximate): 45 minutes to 1 hour
Course Overview: A course for everyone who enjoys a variety of undulations and scenery in addition to seasonal spots such as Harumi's Athlete Village and Toyosu Market.
Recommended time zone: At any time



The starting point is in front of the Kachidokibashi Museum, located near Kachidokibashi.
Even if you go cycling in a group, there is a space where people can gather without disturbing pedestrians.
It is safe because there is also a public toilet.
For those who come for sightseeing or do not have a bicycle, a community cycle with electric assist is convenient.
I will introduce you later, but please check this map for the nearby cycle ports.

①Museum in Kachidokibashi
In front of the museum, there are monuments of the Navy Accounting School and traces of Kachidoki.
You can learn about the history of Kachidoki before departure.
And if you are lucky, you may see bulbuls that stop in the surrounding trees.



Well, the preface has become longer, but now we'll start for a ride in the waterfront area!

②Tsukiji Outer Market
The first thing you can see on your left after you start running is Tsukiji Outer Market, which is lined with about 460 shops.
The average number of tenants at major department store food department stores in Tokyo is said to be around 80.
It's calculated that there are 5.7 times more shops here.
Please note that there is a large amount of pedestrians and cars around the out-of-market market.

Also, if you want to start around this area, which has good access from subway stations and out-of-market markets, you can use it as a starting point.
There is a cycle port near the traffic light of Ichiba Bridge, so it is convenient to use it here.



If you go south along the site of the market for a while, you will see a sticker indicating the entrance of Route 2 for pedestrians and bicycles.
It may be a bit difficult to understand for the first time, but the entrance is right in front of Ote-mon gate Bridge!



It turns a little bit when entering and exiting, but most of it is straight and wide, making it easier to run.
While paying attention to pedestrians, it opens and crosses the bridge for about three months.



③Hamarikyu Onshi Garden
In the middle of a comfortable ride, you can enter your view....
Historic scenery and seasonal flowers of the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a nationally designated special scenic spot and special historic site.
In mid-February, I could see some of the canola flower, which is now in full bloom.



When I looked down on the surface of the water, I felt like I was called by someone.
A cute waterfowl was swimming with dexterous water.



If you go a little further, you will see the Hamarikyu dock, the lighthouse ruins, the Tsukiji River sluice gate, etc.
From this area, you can see the famous buildings of the ancient and modern times, Hamarikyu Garden and Rainbow Bridge at the same time!



④Tsukiji Ohashi
The flat road ends once in front of the bridge and becomes a gentle uphill.
Senior correspondent Mr. Satsuki's Koi Blower introduced it before.
Check the calligraphy of former Tokyo Governor Yoichi Masuzoe and proceed to the destination!



After crossing the bridge, head to the pier with a ship from Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.



⑤Toyomi Fisheries Wharf
This area has many warehouses and many trucks.
There is a view that looks like a port town reminiscent of a market in Tsukiji.



From here, you can see Harumi Wharf, the athlete's village under construction, the Rainbow Bridge, etc.
It's not as famous as Harumi Wharf, but it's a great photo spot.



As you can see in the picture above, the view at dusk is also good.
You can take a memory of cycling against the backdrop of the blue sky during the day and the shining water surface.



⑥Tuna Wholesale tuna bowl shop
After that, if you run a little while looking at the Asashio Canal to the right, you will see something like a shop.
That's the tuna wholesaler's tuna bowl shop!
Senior correspondent HK introduced in detail in 2017.



The menu is written on the surfboard.
"Tuna wholesale tuna bowl", which is also the name of the store, is 600 yen!
Personally, I'm worried about "super rich bisque soup shrimp buckwheat".



For cycling in the morning, take a break that also served as lunch here.
Why don't you enjoy the seafood and scenery unique to the waterfront?
After that, go back along Route 2 and continue the ride.

⑦Reimei Ohashi, Toyosu Ohashi
Like Tsukiji Ohashi, this is also a relatively recently opened road.
Fortunately, the bicycle path is well-maintained.
However, there are pedestrians, so drive with care for speed.



After experiencing a moderate uphill, you can see the scenery unique to the waterfront.
"The slope was hard, but I'm glad I came."



⑧Toyosu Market
When you go down Toyosu Ohashi, you will see the Toyosu Market.
This is not Chuo-ku, but it is one of the seasonal spots related to the former Tsukiji Market!



⑨Harumi Ohashi
Pass the Toyosu Market, cross the Harumi Ohashi and return to Chuo-ku.
As you can see in the article by Senior Correspondent Sumida Fireworks, Harumi Ohashi has some undulations.
Even a woman like me can cross it without difficulty.
If you use a community cycle with electric assist, you can use it.
You can cross with a smile without having to look rugged.



From this area, you can see warehouses, tower apartments, and sky trees.
I don't get tired of the scenery
After that, we only run to the goal point, Kachidokibashi Museum, but also to the goal point.
Why don't you take a short stop before that?

⑩Derido Kachidoki Ekimae Store (with bicycle parking)
This is a supermarket used by people living in the surrounding area.
With self-service, you can enjoy your specialty coffee at an affordable price.
At the time of the visit, in addition to the commonly seen coffee, you can see the coffee.
There were also flavor coffee such as caramel vanilla and organic coffee.
There are two sizes, 12oz (about 355ml) and 16oz (about 470ml).
Surprisingly plenty, but you can adjust the amount yourself for self-service!

Get off the bicycle and move to the east side of Kachidokibashi with a cup of coffee.
It is also a luxurious time to see Tokyo Tower and Kachidokibashi (the night view is recommended).



If you take a break and cross the bridge, the museum is right there.
This time, I used photos from different time zones, so it may have been difficult to understand.
As I wrote at the beginning, you can make a lap in 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Finally, looking back on the course, the historical scenery such as the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is the garden.
Modern landscapes such as Tower Mansion, Rainbow Bridge, Sky Tree, and Tokyo Tower.
And the scenery of warehouses, ships, sluice gates, etc. unique to the waterfront.
I was able to see a lot of landscapes that were rich in change and did not get tired of my eyes.

In addition, many of the roads that ran this time (other than around Tsukiji and Toyomi Fisheries Wharf) have bicycle paths.
The road width is wide and easy for children.
Whether you live in the city or have come to Chuo-ku for sightseeing from Japan and overseas, you can also visit the city.
This is my favorite course that I would like to recommend.

※When riding a bicycle, follow the manners and rules.
　Don't forget to wear a helmet or turn on the lights after darkening....

 

 

From a friend in Osaka
"The sandwich shop where my daughter is working part-time will open in Ginza.
I'll go to Ginza with the opening staff."
I was contacted.

　

Oh? Is there a sandwich in Ginza?
I have to go!

　

When I looked it up, Mr. Hama-chan, down down.
It's an egg cutlet sandwich shop that is acclaimed on TV.
It was a Ginza store in Kitashinchi Sand.
Ginza is the third store with Shinsaibashi Sand.
It seems that it opened on February 4th.

　

　

I was able to meet the owner, so I heard a lot of stories.
It's based on the concept of opening a shop in a top-class bar district.
In Ginza, it opened in 7-chome.

　

That's from five in the evening to four in the morning.
It seems that it is also popular for moms in Ginza.

　

This area is convincing because there are many luxury shops and famous shops for Western and Japanese sweets.

　

The most popular egg cutlet sandwich, the second most popular salt cutlet sandwich.
Shinsaibashi chicken chili pepper flavor and potato chips.
I had it with white wine, but as expected, all goes well with alcohol!

　

　

In particular, this egg sandwich is not the only one!

　

The mariage of clothes and mayonnaise is exquisite.
It's rich and tidbits♪

　

　

This is the store manager ★It was a very nice person.

　

　

I'm sorry that the shop isn't open for lunch.
Occasionally, it seems that the store is opened at a department store event.
Check it out on the Facebook page (*^^*)

Once again, I would like to introduce the richness of one thing and the seasonal fruits of this time.

We spoke with Hiroki Yonamine, assistant manager of the head office of Senbikiya Sohonten Co., Ltd.

The explanation in "" other than food lipo is Mr. Yonaha's words.

Mild flavor with less sourness and bitterness of the skin spreads in your mouth.

"There is a mango called" Egg of the Sun ". Like that, it is a tangerine that is Blanding in Miyazaki.

Among the product names "I happened to happen", the one with a higher ripe and sugar content is "I happened to be excellent".

It's the finest one. That's not right. Even so, the price has calmed down.

Among the fruits that are now available, the one with the highest sugar content is this citrus. I recommend it.

It seems that it was branded at the time of Governor Hideo Higashikunihara."

I cut it. (right image)

The long and thin one is incense green from Kagawa, and the normal oval is from Fukuoka.

　

Upper image right: Kiwifruit Fukuoka-produced sugar content 324 yen per piece within 14 degrees Celsius

This is also a delicious variety, but the rosmari food lipo squad will try to taste the food comparison with Kagawa's incense green.

As usual, we do not give much information in advance.

In addition, all members eat this meal after eating ordinary kiwi that happened to lunch.

<Fuku> It is from Fukuoka, and <ka> is from Kagawa.

"<Fuku> I enjoyed both sweetness and acidity and it was delicious. <Scent> The sugar content was extremely high, and it was so sweet and delicious that I could hardly feel sour. " Mr. S Yama.

"<Fuku> The fruit has a strong flavor and strong aroma. The acidity is also delicious. <Scent> Sweet and chewy that you can't imagine as a kiwi. The skin was soft and like a cake." O.

Maskmelon 1200g 12,960 yen 1300g 16,200 yen

　　　　　　　1400g21,600 yen 1500g or more 27,000 yen

The mask has nothing to do with the mask of the mask.

The origin of the name is that it is fragrant like musk (musk).

It is grown carefully in a greenhouse covered with glass instead of vinyl.

Moreover, one fruit on one stem: The sweetness is condensed by the luxurious cultivation method of one stem.

It excels in fragrance, sweetness, texture, and all, and its noble taste is exactly the king of fruit.

Once purchased, ripen at room temperature, and cool it for 2 or 3 hours before the date indicated on the attached bill.

"Melons made in Shizuoka Prefecture are collectively referred to as" mask melon ".

Among them, the one made in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture is called "Crown Melon".

At Senbikiya, they say mask melon, but most of them sell Crown melons.

I try to keep this melon in the sun as much as possible.

And when it comes to a certain size, we put a white cloth to prevent it from hitting the sun.

When it hits the sun, it turns green, and the blue smell comes out. ・・・

The concept of Senbikiya is to provide delicious foods at the time of eating.

Therefore, we look at the withering of the melon's "heta" and look at the overall softness and color change to guide customers.

If you say "Press your buttocks to judge," the melon will be damaged.

We think that it is the role of Senbikiya to eat the best food at a delicious time. "

　

※　The fee for the paulownia box is 1080 yen.

"The only country in Japan is such a wooden box, put in a makeup box, wrap it, and put on a ribbon.

In foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, fruits are processed into jams (because the sugar content is low).

I think only Japan is the only food that has a high sugar content and a moderate acidity. "

　

Assorted fruits 32,400 yen

It is a sophisticated assortment unique to Senbikiya Sohonten.

　

378 yen per queen strawberry chocolate

Introducing a dish from the Western confectionery corner. It's an item for White Day.

Senbikiya's original Queen Strawberry is made into two colors of chocolate.
