This is a continuation from the long-established relay tour of Nihonbashi (VOL.2).
Next, I went to a visit to Ninben, which was not included in the original schedule.
Ninben
It is a large store that has been in business since the Edo period since Genroku 12 (1699) to 310 years.
He is a senior managing director who was happy, smiling, and friendly to sudden visits.

On the basement floor, there are very valuable materials and ukiyo-e, such as the famous "Japan (even in the world) first gift certificate" and "No cash value", which tell the 3rd century of "Ninben". He explained it interesting but interestingly.
When the Satsuma and Choshu clan of late Tokugawa shogunate was active (), he forcibly came to borrow money and left a borrowed book ...
In addition, Shinpachi Nagakura of Shinsengumi came and asked the store to write a certificate stating that "I want you to borrow money" and put a borrowed book ... ... ...
In each case, it was very interesting to see if the money came back ... Akudoi and the story that really happened.
This is an ukiyo-e painting depicting a real restaurant in Nihonbashi, which is familiar with the story of "Momokawa" in rakugo. I'm embarrassed that my memory is not clear, but ... Kuniyoshi Utagawa's work ...
The story "Momokawa" is a restaurant that the Shogunate used for entertainment when he arrived at Perry in late Tokugawa shogunate, and was close to Ninben-san and near the current Fukutoku Inari Shrine.
Next is lunch at Kappo cuisine Toyoda, which I was really looking forward to.
It's Kappo cuisine.
http://gwill.co.jp/toyoda/index.html This is also a long-established store that has continued since Bunkyu 3 (1863). “Nihonbashi Tour” website: http://www.ninben.co.jp/meguri/ Representative of Nihonbashi Producer Guide Haruki Kawasaki & 7 participants, a total of eight people were invited to a guest room called "Autumn Leaves" with a dug kotatsu that is nice to walk tired from the shoji door.
Shortly after the meal was served, the fifth generation young husband who succeeds the fourth generation husband and holds the current kitchen knife: Mr. Toru Hashimoto came and explained it. After studying at another long-established Japanese restaurant, the young husband entered his parents' home "Toyoda" and later served as the chef of the Japanese ambassador's residence in Germany. Also, as a specialty of young husbands, "Hamo cuisine" and "Edomae Anako white grilled" are always famous.
"Toyoda" opened a sushi restaurant on the fish shore of Nihonbashi in 1863, and then set up a store in Honishi-cho and moved to its current location.
The disciples are showing photos of the stores of "Toyoda Shokudo" and "Gravel Cooking" around 1897, and those who brought celebration when newly built in Honishi-cho in 1872 It is "Sawayama Mochigo Book" (← How to name the list is smart).
I don't know, and "Toyoda" was also damaged by the Satsuma / Choshu clan in late Tokugawa shogunate, Shinsengumi, etc., and the borrowed letter was left, and it is unknown whether it was refunded ... It was. Then, when I was operating at a stall on the Nihonbashi Fish Bank, a sushi restaurant, for example, asked for "bonito, grip," and it seems that 6 sticks came out (currently there are many 2 sticks, 1 stick There is also a place).
The dishes include sashimi, Saikyo-yaki, cooking of ganmodoki and root vegetables, tempura, fried chicken of "Toyoda" specialty Shiba shrimp, etc. ... I imagined the strong taste of Edo-mae, but it was a delicious neat dish that was not light despite the Kansai style, with clear soup that worked everywhere.
It was dissolved after the meal was over. This time, I participated for the first time, but I realized once again that the Nihonbashi area, which usually walks around, really only the surface. It was a tour that was very interesting, fun, and valuable, listening to the stories of the shop people, showing things that you could not usually see. I wish I had more time ... I honestly thought.
Also, I was a participation by one person ... The other six of me were friends from Chiba, but I was really impressed that I was able to talk to me like a friend without separation and have fun together on that day Thank you very much to everyone who came together.
Finally, this "Nihonbashi Long-established Relay Tour" is very recommended.
