1-1-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku

Here in 1712 (Shotoku 12), Tsuchiura soy sauce brewery: There is the headquarters building of Kokubun Co., Ltd., which was founded and is now familiar with K & K.

To the 1st floor of this headquarters building

Select shop of K&K brand

[ROJI Nihonbashi] It's open!

The theme is Mr. Kokubu's "until now" and "future".

In the store, of course, the familiar products marked with K & K ...

   

Various sweets from the brand [Nihonbashi Kabo] produced by Mr. Kokubu

"Karintochoko" also has a sister product called "Arekinakochoko".

"Calpismochi" with Calpis cream.

[ROJI Nihonbashi] "Kit Kat Kit Kit" using black honey from "Eitaro" right across the road.

I found a product unique to Kokubu, which originally started from a soy sauce brewery!

Kokubun's brewery / Raw materials: Rice and malt/alcohol

Old-fashioned "Amazake" with thick mouth.

"Amazake" has been said to be a summer drink since ancient times, but it's also delicious to hang a small amount of ginger juice in winter and have it "Foo, Ho"!

・・・ ・ "How about tasting?" ...

There was a space with a large wooden stand in one corner of the back of the shop, where we sampled it.

After tasting, each one was delicious, so we purchased a variety of collaborative sweets and unique canned foods such as "Sardine Habanero" for tidbits.  

On the wall of the space behind it, Nishiki-e from the "Okuniya" era at the base of Nihonbashi was displayed.

It's 300 years ago.

 

 

[ROJI Nihonbashi] This is the discovery report center of the "treasure hunting game" currently being held.

In the coming season, Nihonbashi is full of events.

I think that there will be more opportunities to go out, please feel free to take a look!

 

 

 Right next to the monument of "Ginza Birthplace" is the building of the Ginza Itoya Main Building.

It is always full of people, but at the store we sell new products that should be introduced to customers.

The above is a newly renewed new product, and when the ballpoint pen is gripped, the core comes out from inside and the note is over, the core fits in the pen.　There were pens of various colors.

This was also featured on NHK's morning program TV on the day of my interview.

　　　　　　

It is open at 10 o'clock, but for a short time at the opening of the store, there is a surprise with the greeting of "Welcome", and the products are beautifully arranged in a large space.

It's also the season to send Christmas cards, and just looking at the greeting cards will make it fun.

　　　　

The above is a number of outer covers of the free notebook, but you can select your favorite cover from among them, select the paper for the items you need and add it to the file.

Add an address record, create a page for study abroad period, start a new diary from that point due to transfer ...

It may be a diary from April to March or September to August, not from January to December.

It is a notebook that can be created in your own way.　　　　　　　　

Recently, it's not an era where you can get calendars from anywhere as in the past.

If you buy it yourself, look for a calendar that suits you as soon as possible.

In addition to special features for cats and dogs, special features for cooking, size and other various things are devised.　

　　　　  Although it is the basis of the calendar, the blank space under the numbers is wide open, so if you use it with your family, it will look like a diary, and you can buy the same calendar every year to make a family record.

Other frame shops Japanese paper, Japanese paper accessories art & color, kids senior glasses, etc.

There were a lot of things that made our lives enjoyable.

On the 9th floor, there is also a cafe corner directly under Itoya, and there is a calm and quiet place.

What do you think of the city of Tokyo from the height of the water?

In the middle of the town walk, I thought so while looking at the flowing river surface from the bridge.

 

The other day, a limited tour for correspondents of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association "Let's experience the E-boat de ecotour" Mizuto Chuo-ku "! ] There was an application.

Of course, I applied for participation immediately.

 

This is a tour of riding a rowing boat using a 10-seater oar called E-boat.

The route is a 90-minute round trip from the Kamejima River, dive through the sluice gate, up the Nihonbashi River, and near Joban Bridge over outer moat.

 

The NPO Regional Exchange Center, who held the tour, will carefully provide guidance to the participants who wear life jackets and have tight facial expressions.

　  

I get on the boat with care.

It was a rubber boat that was inflated with air, but it was more stable than expected.

In this case, even older people can ride with confidence.

 

The seawall. A ship moored. A store with windows facing the river. Water birds fly around the surface of the water.

You will witness the tide and rise, and cheers will rise at the viewpoint of the Sky Tree.

The view of both banks and highway curves covering the sky, which are highly guarded by concrete, is a unique urban scene.

 

 

When I looked up at Nihonbashi from the surface of the water, my chest rang.

A replica of the lion on the side of the bridge looks so close.

After the incendiary bombs fell and burned, it still remains behind the bridge.

 

A person passing through the bridge noticed us and waved his hand.

"Well. Hello."

 

When the point of view changes, it's simply frustrating.

Actually, it's already fun to row an oar.

It's like a cruise in a large leisure facility.

 

After the tour, the Regional Exchange Center will discuss various issues that can be seen from a different perspective, such as the waterside environment in the city, landscape conservation, disaster prevention and emergency response, etc. He talked passionately about

 

A town in Edo where boating is the leading role in transportation and logistics, and rivers and digging are stretched vertically and horizontally.

Rivers that have played various roles in the turbulent times of the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras.

Traces of various activities remaining in buildings around the river.

And even now, the waterside, which is a space where we live, inherited from our predecessors.

 

I noticed a lot, but anyway, I enjoyed plenty of E-boats.

 

 

 

"Shan", "The Shan", "Konichiba", "Kazemakase", "Unbore" ... What is this? "Uogashi Meicha", known for its naming and stylish package design, is a long-established tea that celebrates its 80th anniversary this year in 1931. Today, I came to the "hand-to-footing tea making classroom" held at Tsukiji new store, Chanomin Club of this Uogashi famous tea.

It seems that it was previously implemented at the Tsukiji Main Store Building, and it is the first time that it has been implemented at a new store since this month. There were 7 participants today. The "class" progresses at a good tempo with a light talk by a slightly mullet instructor. After the instructor's demonstration, all the students are practicing. Put it as explained (I intend) and exchange one bowl with the neighbors. "Well! It's sweeter to put in the next one!" "Why?"

2 It seems that it took too much time to put the roast. Let's give you special tips on how to make the green tea that I learned today.

①The amount of tea is 5g at a time, the amount of X. Hojicha is doubled, and brown rice tea is 7g. It is stored in the refrigerator.

②Let's take care of it. Use freshly boiled water. An electric pot that has been kept warm for a long time is a source of failure.

③The tea bowl is white (to see the color of tea)

④How to pour, put the hot water that has been boiled once in a cold water or bowl, transfer the hot water to a teapot and immediately turn it into a bowl. 2 For roasting, tap the oshiri of the teapot, flatten the tea leaves, and pour evenly. Up to the last drop. (It is X to shake the teapot.) At first, it tastes with a second roast.

This is a delicious tea of "Kiiro Kiniro"!

I have a teapot and tea used as a souvenir, and this is a membership fee of 1,000 yenya. On the way back with the participants, I stopped by the tea club on the 2nd floor and reviewed again. Today's tea included seasonal “Kaze makase”, and sweets included Kawai Dorayaki and chestnuts from Kiya (Itabashi).

The “Tea Making Class” is held twice on Saturday, October 15th and 29th, at 13:00 and 14:00. November is scheduled for the 5th, 12th and 26th, but the time is undecided so far. For inquiries, please contact us. 3552-6511 (weekdays 9: 00-17: 00) Until classroom staff

　Today, I came to Minato Yu in 1-6-2 Minato, Chuo-ku.　It's on the street next to Tepposhu Shrine.　It's like a stylish black wall. The leaflet says "Minatoyu, a public bath with Hatchobori and sauna".

　After rebuilding, the interior is based on white, and it is clean and very modern.　The chair is also expensive and there is no difficulty sitting.　Immediately after entering, the counter is on the left side, like a reception, you can communicate with customers, and it is a good work.　Many men and women of all ages was enjoying the bath.

After relaxing and using it for a public bath, massage is effective to get the accumulated fatigue.

Here you can use a luxury massage machine for 100 yen for 10 minutes.　From now on, the number of visits here is likely to increase.　I would like to introduce the sophisticated website of Minato Yu. http://www.minatoyu.jp/

According to a story from a young landlady, his younger brother is running a public bath called "Tenjinyu" in Kitashinagawa. Both hot springs are close to the Tokyo Marathon Course, so I think it's good to refresh after training.
