After reading this blog, I will give you the "problem" of "Knowing" from the article "Nihonbashi Goyomi".
Which of the following is the origin of the naming of "YUITO"? The answer is at the end of this article.
A: A coined word derived from "Yuto", which means Urban Square that connects the capital, people, and time.
B: It is derived from the English "UNIT", which means group and constituent unit, and the English "UNITED", which means combined and bundled.
C: A coined word derived from Japanese "You (YU: You) are I (I) and (TO: Together)"

Finally, as for the distribution locations of the Free Paper "Nihonbashi Goyomi", there are Nihonbashi Information Center, Mitsukoshi, Takashimaya, YUITO, COREDO Nihonbashi, etc., but I get it at the entrance of the "Mitsukoshi Main Store New Building" in Nihonbashi and the entrance of the first basement floor that can be entered from the subway of "COREDO Nihonbashi".

Answer to the question: A ("Check Coco!" on the right of page 5 of the first issue) It's on the right side.

 

 

 

Nem flowers bloom and feet healthy stone path (Sakuragawa Park)

[Yurikamome] June 27, 2011 08:30

A wonderful park ... I found Sakuragawa Park.   Irifune, 1-1-13, Chuo-ku.

In the Edo period, it was excavated as a ferry moat that flows from the downstream of the Kyobashi River to the Sumida River.

It was called Hatchobori (Meiji period was renamed Sakuragawa).

This park was built on the landfill of Sakuragawa.

It is adjacent to the JR and Metro Hibiya Line Hatchobori Station.

     2011_0625 Entrance of Sakuragawa Park 0015.JPGAs you may know, various stones are embedded in concrete, and walking barefoot on this seems to be good for health.

It's been more than 10 years ago, but when I lived in Taipei, such a stone path was built longer behind the grounds of the National Father Memorial Hall.

When I walked, my soles hurt very much at first, but when I walked with patience the pain, it stopped painful.

It was explained that various parts of the internal organs were stimulated with the intention of massage on the soles, and since I was free, I walked well alone.

For me, I found this little path that reminded me of Taipei and was full of nostalgia

  I don't know what this monument means, but I'd like to look into it and look at it.

There was such a cute playground equipment.

A young mother had a good time with a boy about 2 years old.

I took a picture with permission.

When my grandson in the United States came, I thought I would bring it here and play ...

2011_0625 Sakuragawa Park Playground Equipment 0016.JPGThe leaves of Nem are open during the day, but close the leaves at night and sleep ... I was inputted in my head when I was small, but gentle pink flowers bloom.

It blooms in Hamarikyu, but the flowers of Sakuragawa Park are very beautiful now.

Coming pleasure ... This character also feels soft and fun as everyone enjoys together.

Lunch with wine at Mercian Salon is 1050 yen.

[Mapo ★] June 18, 2011 08:30

Go straight along Yaesu Street at Tokyo Station.
Turn right at Bridgestone and you will find the headquarters of Mercian.
There is a restaurant on the first floor of the head office.
There is a big bottle of wine at the entrance, so you can see it right away.

RIMG6058.JPG

There are several kinds of lunch menu.
It's 1050 yen with today's wine! It's cheap~ (*^^*)

On this day, I went to Meijiya for an interview.
I went with Mr. Kusano of the tourist association.

I'm a hamburger lunch.
It's a handmade hamburger, it's very juicy, good!
And Mr. Kusano is Hayashi rice limited to 15 meals.
It seems that this was also rich and delicious (*^^*)

RIMG6039.JPG RIMG6041.JPG


The amount of wine is a little less.
Because it is an office district, there are many OLs, and everyone is working in the afternoon (laughs).
But I think you can drink another wine for 210 yen.★

RIMG6037.JPG RIMG6036.JPG

By the way, today's wine is a chili Mellow wine.
It was very easy to drink.

Chateaumelcian Koshu Kiiro incense and Nagano Merlot, etc.
Wines that appear in comics and drops of God can be drunk in glasses and bottles.

Due to the location, weekends and holidays are closed, but it is a salon with high ceilings and a nice atmosphere.
I'm glad that you can enjoy a lunch that is kind to your wallet.♪

I grabbed the sushi with chopsticks.

[Koedo Itabashi] June 5, 2011 12:39

"Do you have three horse mackerels?"

"Can you hold sushi?"

When asked so, an uncle who is over 50 years burns his fighting spirit.

"I don't know. I don't want to say the word "I can't do it."

I have a little knowledge of how to handle Iai swords, but the last thing was to make curry when camping.

 

Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent-only tour

"Experience of" Nigiri "at sushi craftsman training school!"

I participated in the classroom on June 4th (Sat).

The venue is the cooking training room of "Sushizanmai Kiyomura Juku".

If you look forward to the neatly polished kitchen and the instructors wearing cooking clothes, you will feel more nervous.

More than that, I was wearing a new apron and feeling high.

 

Dr. Shirata enjoyed demonstrations of how to bake eggs, how to lower horse mackerel, and how to hold sushi with trivia.

You talked in a soft narrative, but this teacher will definitely be scared when you scold me.

There was a great aura.

"The most important thing is to try to handle the ingredients carefully," he shows a very delicate and flowing hand that does not suit your body.

The instructors of the support were also crisp and I was able to practice with peace of mind.

 

Although the body remains thick in the bone, the pleasure of lowering the horse mackerel into three pieces.

When Shari stuck in his hand and was frustrated that it was useless, he received advice saying, "While putting on hand vinegar," and finished it in that way.

The tasting time will be served with delicious horse mackerel soup.

I pinched the sushi with a thin chopsticks to see if it would not collapse, but it was stored in my mouth.

"I'm holding it firmly" full self satisfaction. I was thrilled to grab it with chopsticks.

 

Thank you to everyone who planned the correspondent-only tour.

When you become a correspondent, you can have such an experience.

Even so, your wife kept me secret that cooking was so fun.
