Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The rosemary sea is a positive coverage of "gifts and I enjoy myself."

　

Shiseido Parlour Ginza Main Store Restaurant offers "Chef's Recommended Course" from February 1st (Fri) to February 28th (Thu), where you can fully enjoy meat from appetizers.

In the meat dish, a platter (a large plate that carries dishes, Ginbon) appears in front of you, and it is a style where you can choose a menu after looking at the meat itself.

You can enjoy rare Barry duck from Akita Prefecture, carefully selected by the chef by visiting the site, and Fukuoka Prefecture's brand beef "Hakata Wagyu".

We also recommend a fish dish where you can choose alfonsino from Shizuoka Prefecture and anglers.

I think that the course that weaves the taste of the ingredients and the cooking method will surely be the vitality of the cold season.

　

This time, we also took care of Mr. Kotsugai, a public relations group of Shiseido Co., Ltd.

Let me introduce you to the dishes.

Speaking of Valentine's Day, I think the image of "sweet and sour" as "the day when a woman confesses to a man" was strong in the past, but recently it has been
・A woman rewards herself
・Women give each other (high quality) chocolate and other sweets.
・For some reason, men buy chocolates by women, and bags are also bought because of the rush.
・My uncle buys the chocolate he wants to eat at the event.
I feel that there is a wide variety of ways to enjoy and exploit while increasing the variety of flavors that are not only "sweet", such as "sweet".

For this reason, events to buy chocolates from all over the world are called "Sweets Collection" and "Salon de Chocolat" instead of "Valentine", and there are more options to keep up with the brand even if it is a fairly sweet party.

What is the focus of this season? "Ruby chocolate," right?

This is the new category of chocolate that appeared for the first time in 80 years following dark, milk and white.
Ruby chocolate is rare and delicate, so I visited the sweets collection at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store to try this ruby chocolate.

By the way, Godiva's first Asian store, famous for its luxury chocolate brand, is the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store (1972).
It may not come out, but it's a trivia.

First, I purchased "Yokan au Chocolat" with "Toraya". It is a product limited to the Paris store, and it is a taste of an adult with a mixture of rum and yokan.

Next, at the venue of the Sweets Collection, I ordered Pierre Marcolini soft serve ice cream. Combination of happiness that harmonizes rich aroma of cacao with gentle strawberry.

Speaking of Pierre Marcolini, it goes back to my memories of traveling to Belgium with my boss more than 20 years ago.
At that time, I don't think there was anything in Japan that would become a luxury chocolate market as it is now. Preliminary study on business trips (?) "Is Neuhaus, Wittamer, Del Rey, etc. famous in Belgium (all are still famous)" I had gained a shallow knowledge, but the old streets ○ province I met in Belgium said, "Let's go to an up-and-coming chocolate patissier shop that won the chocolate championship," "Piermaruco" said. There were chocolates like jewels in the shop, but I think it was mainly sold in "blocks" units like large plate chocolates.


Next is the real ruby chocolate ... I went to buy Del Rey ruby chocolate that I was aiming for ..., why?
It's sold out! ！　(Other brands were sold out all the way.)
Perhaps because of its rarity, it is even more expensive even in a high-class chocolate group, so I read a sweet saying, "It will not be sold out in a rubble."

Although the set of ruby chocolate "only" was sold out, I purchased a Peter buyer who sold a set containing ruby chocolate. Collaboration of sourness unique to fruits like berry and sweetness coming later. This is a gem that you want to eat more. Will it take some time to become a little more common?

(In addition, we purchased premium wheat chocolate etc. You can enjoy a variety of flavors. Domestic wheat is also a nice point.)
Many other brands, a variety of ways of enjoying, taste, sight, smell, hearing, and touch are elaborated enough to mobilize as much as possible, and the more you know, the deeper you notice.

The "French Blend" of Miyakoshiya Coffee, which is located at the same Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, is highly recommended as a coffee that goes well with chocolate.
Needless to say, I enjoyed chocolate while enjoying a slightly darker French blend.

 

 

Hello, this is Taro Chuo. This is the first time in a year.

　

　The Chuo-ku sightseeing test has been over, and I am relieved to have scored points that could manage to continue my correspondent in my own scoring. Also, as for the rest of this year, I am worried about the movie "Mascarade Hotel", which was modeled on Park Hotel in Hakozaki in the original work.

　

　Well, this time, part of the correspondent activity (?) However, an off-party was held on January 19th (Saturday) at a Sicily cuisine bar & restaurant called Cantina Sicilyina in Ginza. Since I was a secretary, I would like to make a blog that also serves as a report on it.

　

If you are thinking of becoming a correspondent in the future, I would appreciate it if you could refer to it because there is something like this.

　

　When I had a chance to meet Mr. Kno of the tourist association in October, it was a matter of planning an off-site party after a long absence, and when I asked everyone, there were many people who wanted to do it So, it was a carry of realization.

　

　As the name implies, Cantina Sicilyna is a well-established restaurant that has been published in Michelin's Bibligurman for the second consecutive year in 2017 and 2018, and sommeliers are also available. When I came before, the atmosphere of the dishes, wine and the restaurant was very good, and lunch is open until 15:30, it can be reserved from 16 people, even if you ask for one drink and a reasonable amount of food It fits in just over 3,000 yen. 。 。 I thought it was perfect for this off party.

　

　There are a total of 3 Cantina Sicilyna stores, 2 stores in Ginza and 1 store in Hakata.
This time, we performed at the Ginza 6-chome store, which won the Michelin (a store in an alley just one from Corridor Street).
The shop opened on June 14, 2013.
Follow the blog of the store below from the "article list" for how to open Sicily, not only dishes and wine, but also the interior and exterior of the shop.

　https://ameblo.jp/cantinasiciliana/

　

　Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, located on the toes of the Italian peninsula. Due to its geographical location, it has a history of repeated conquering and governing as a key point of the Mediterranean Sea. It is said that a unique food culture was nurtured by the mixture of various cultures and its climatic characteristics.
Many people may be associated with the hometown of the movie "God Father".

　

It is famous for a variety of agricultural products such as olives, fresh fish, cheese and meat.
Some of the participants at the off-party were ordering "blood orange" juice, which was so red that it was different from tomato juice when making juice with Sicily's specialty food, I guess it was checked in advance.

　

In addition, Sicily is said to be a region where winemaking is so popular among Italy, which is comparable to France in terms of wine production, because its varied terrain is suitable for grape production.

　

　At Cantina Sicilyna, you will enjoy more than 200 kinds of Sicily wine.
That's why I also received 2 cups of Scily spmante and house wine.

　

　At the off-party, you first choose "PRANZO C (C Lunch / 2,300 yen)" and your favorite drink (around 800 yen) x 1 cup as a dish, and after the second cup, those who want it individually Order it Did.
I omit the details of the dishes, but personally I thought it was very delicious, including drinks.
The shop's specialty Sicily olive oil comes out with bread, but I think this goes well with anything, such as fish fries and pasta that appear on the course. Please try it.

　

　In addition, the shop is decorated with a strange design flag with a face in the middle and three legs coming out of it, and many people were unusual, so I will supplement it just in case .
This flag is the Sicily State flag and is called "Triskel".
The face in the middle represents Medusa and the three feet represent the three capes of Sicily.
Medusa was not a monster, but originally a goddess of the earth, so this Triskel seems to be a symbol of Sicily with a rich earth.
※If you can search for the Sicily state flag with "Scily flag" on Google etc., you can check the strange design.

　

　The meeting was scheduled to have a total of 30 participants, but three (two adults / one child) were not involved due to influenza or their nursing, and ultimately 27 (one child) ). Mr. Ura and Mr. Kno from the tourist association participated.
Also, as special guests, JUMI, who is always taking care of Chuo FM's correspondent corner "I love Chuo-ku", and his director, Imura, participated.

　

After all, the same hobby (?) The people with each other just swayed and took pictures, but two hours passed quickly. ※I believe everyone enjoyed it.

　

　After all, once a year, this kind of off-party is also good.
Well, I hope you will be a fun correspondent activity next year.

 

 

Unlike the usual year, today, when the temperature difference is severe, winter is also Indian cuisine, so "Sristy Akashicho Honten" is a creative dish in Nepal, India.

The location is the first basement floor of Towa Akashi Building 1-1 Akashicho.

From Exit 6 of Shintomicho Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line, you will find the basement of the building you can see in front of you.

I visited you for lunch today as well.

Order a mutton curry set

Nan here is really delicious

It goes well with hot, soft, sweet and spicy curry.

Moreover, lunch time is free to change the Nan and rice.

You can choose a drink from chai, coffee, or oolong tea, and I chose Lassi.

Spiciness is 5 levels, medium spicy is selected.

I think the curry seasoning is also good for Japanese people.

Lunch time is from 11:00 to 16:00.

The store's response is also pleasant and recommended.

This is Ginza Honjin Fusa, located on the first basement floor of the 27th Central Building, Ginza 2-chome.

It's just halfway between Chuo-ku government office and Showa-dori.

This is a convenient soba restaurant that can be used for various purposes, with banquets OK and seafood OK, but I often use it for lunch.

The inside of the store is quiet and relaxed, so you can have a calm lunch.

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

Today's daily rice bowl is "pork sukiyaki bowl".

I chose the soba and the one I wanted to fill, so I ordered the warm one.

Despite the set menu, Sukiyaki-don has a solid amount of volume and stone milled soba, and there is a lot of condiment green onions.

Fullness, fullness

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

Saturday, Sunday and public holidays are closed.

Naturally, there are plenty of single soba items, and shrimp tempura soba and Kamo Nanban soba are also delicious.

 

 

This is a rosemary sea, covering "gifts and I enjoy myself" dramatick.
