"Eemon Ade Tokushima" debuted in Ginza!

[Apricot peony] July 7, 2014 09:00

The west side of Ginza 1-chome is a very fun area to walk, with many antenna shops lined up in Hiroshima, Yamagata, Okinawa, Kochi, Ibaraki, Fukui, etc.

 

The other day, when I entered Ginza Brick Street from Sakura-dori St., I heard the lively music of Awa Odori.

When I thought something, I found a shop called Tokushima antenna shop "Emon Ade Tokushima".

It was said that the oven was opened in December last year, and local sake is lined up in the store, along with specialty products such as sweets, bamboo chikuwa, bare noodles, dried potatoes, etc. .

It's not so wide, but I've noticed something that looks delicious, but for the time being, I bought a popular item "Katsuten", which makes fish surimi like a cutlet.

When I was paying, the person who seemed to be a salaried worker in the neighborhood bought "Wa no Somen chips" and told me, "This is delicious and it's addictive."

That's why I bought this chips together.

It seems that "Katsuten" can be fried with vegetables, but when heated with an oven toaster, it feels like a crispy and crispy ham.

It's a bit spicy, so it's perfect for beer.

Similarly, the noodles are also spicy and don't stop eating.

 

The place is an alley a little from a big street, but it is likely to be an indispensable shop for visiting antenna shops in the future.

 

 

Edomae Tendon! Hannosuke Kaneko

[TAKK...] July 4, 2014 14:00

 While I wanted to go for a long time, I went to the Tendon shop "Kanenosuke Kaneko", which was leaning into the length of the line.

 Nihombashi Muromachi, near Mitsukoshimae Station on the Ginza Line.

 I arrived at the store just before 11 o'clock, just before opening.

 There has already been a lot of time.

 It seems that there are more people who are lined up than the number of seats in the store. It is unlikely that you will be able to enter the store immediately after opening. At this time, I was wondering if I could enter the store for the second round.

 While they were lined up, shoppers came to get orders, and there was water service.

 In the meantime, I ended up waiting for an hour and a half.

 When I entered the store, I was taken to the second floor. Because it is a thriving store, I thought it might be packed with people, but it is relatively spacious and bright and beautiful.

 It's very cozy and I want to stay long without a long line.

First of all, wait for the Tendon to come while having the "Garigobo" placed on the table.

It was elegant, chewy, and very delicious, so I bought it as a souvenir.

A vigorous sister brought me a bowl. It's a great volume.

I'll have it with miso soup.

Shrimp, congridae, half-boiled eggs, shaved fried chicken, etc. are all freshly fried, and the flavor of sesame oil is good and the sauce is delicious again.

The time in the line was also a good memory in an instant.

 

 

 

Tsukiji Market Station on the Oedo Line

[Apricot peony] July 3, 2014 14:00

I often see recent subway stations incorporating designs related to the local specialties and history into their premises and platforms.

Whether you are commuting on a crowded train full of gyugy, or if you are sightseeing from afar, looking at such things, you may be able to take a break.

 

As the name implies, Tsukiji Market Station on the Oedo Line is right up the stairs of the station, and the Asahi Shimbun Tokyo Head Office, Cancer Center, and unexpectedly Shimbashi Enbujo are also very close.

 

If you enter the ticket gate, you want to convey the essence of Edo culture to the present, and there is a mural of folding screen paintings of four songs reproduced with art ceramic plates under the supervision of Japanese painter Tamako Kataoka.

The right is "Kunisada Kaiyo Toyokuni", and the left is "Ukiyo-e artist Shunsho Katsukawa".

 

All of them are wonderful, recreating the stylish appearance of the time.

When I go to Ryogoku, where the Edo Tokyo Museum is located, I often use this station, but every time I pass in front of this, I stop my feet.

Tanabata in Ginza Tanaka

[Silver] July 2, 2014 12:00

 When you step into the store of Takashi Tanaka Metal Jewelry Co., Ltd. in Ginza 1-chome, you can see "Sasa-no-ha Sarasara". ♪ The Tanabata of "~" is displayed. 
A lot of customers and passers-by visit the shop, entrusting the desired wish in golden strips.

 When I stepped into the shop, a kind clerk gently spoke and handed me a strip.

I write wish on a strip of bamboo leaves and hang it.
I entrusted my wish, "I hope the world will be peaceful and everyone will live happily."
