[Chuo-ku to enjoy with children] #12: Nurturing Festival CHUO 2016 (Harumi Triton Square)

[Dye] October 31, 2016 14:00

It's getting chilly day by day.
There are many days for going out, and I feel like going to play somewhere with Chibi ^^

   
By the way, I feel that Chuo-ku is a city that is easy to raise children and is friendly to children every day.
An attractive event will be held at Harumi Triton Square on November 3rd (Thursday / holiday)!

     

“Ikusai Fes CHUO 2016”
 http://ikufes-chuo.com/
(Details → http://ikufes-chuo.com/2016/10/148)

    

Clearing storage course, food education course, recreational talk session, couple's house share workshop...
And the disaster prevention experience is the theme of this time.

    

It seems that you can also make disaster prevention lights made with only water, sample disaster prevention food, and experience lifesaving training.
Previously, I had a lifesaving course at a fire department, but I don't have the opportunity to learn about specializing in children, so I would like to go there.

    
[Overview]
  Date and time: November 3, 2016 (Thursday/holiday) 10:00-16:00
  Venue: Harumi Triton Square 2F Grand Lobby
  Participation fee: Free (Souvenir bags are distributed to those who have achieved stamp rally)
  Participation: Those who are raising children, those who are raising children in the future, those who want to support child care in Chuo-ku

     
As expected, Chuo-ku! I can rely on it. You can feel safe. Thank you very much!
If you are in the middle of raising children, those in the future, why not visit by all means? ^^

Visit Hatcho Shrine in Ginza in autumn! Collect vermilion seal stamp and pick up the zodiac bell

[Shiba Inu] October 29, 2016 12:00

The annual Autumn Ginza has reached the middle stage.

Autumn Ginza is a big event where famous shops participate from Ginza 1-chome to 8-chome. This name was given in 2010, but before that it was held under the name "Promenade Ginza". There are lots of fun events this year, but did you participate in the silver tea ceremony? Until November 3, there will be still many great and wonderful events, so please come and visit us in the future. Time schedules are available from the website!



Meanwhile, there are events that are receiving hot support from some people every year. That's it

"Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour"!

We collect vermilion seal stamp stamps around designated shrines in Ginza. Once you've collected everything, you can get a souvenir. Here's the souvenir

IMG_6812.jpgIt's the zodiac bell of next year!

It's cute!

It feels like this when you open it inside the red seal book.

IMG_6813.jpgThis is also cute.

(Both images are from last year.)

The souvenirs that can be given at each shrine are also unique and fun and memorable. The most enjoyable thing is to look for a shrine and walk. Because it is a shrine in Ginza, it's not big. Or, if you don't find it, you can't find it. There is also a shrine called "No way!" It is a shrine of history that has been close to the area for many years in one of the world's largest cities. No matter which shrine you go to, it has excitement and fun. And since it's Hatcho Shrine, you can go around Ginza when you go around everything. It's about two hours if you take a leisurely walk. It's easy to walk, so I think it's a reasonable walking course.

From 11/1 to 3. Please come by all means.

We took a walk near the planned Olympic Village site.

[kimitaku] October 28, 2016 18:00

As you walk toward Harumi Wharf, you will find a vast vacant lot.

As you can see on the signboard, this is the planned site of the Olympic athlete village.

DSC_1544.JPG

The construction is in the middle of the project.

 

This time we went to the Central Cleaning Center.

If you go up the stairs of the center, you will find a small park.

DSC_1555.JPG DSC_1553.JPG

 

If you look right, you will see the Toyomi Ohashi Bridge under construction.

DSC_1552.JPG 

Route 2, which is under construction at Tsukiji Ohashi, continues to the left from Ohashi.

 

In front of the left, Asashio Kobashi is on the canal, and in the left rear is Takeshiba Pier. A big ship was berthing.

 

In this area, the scenery changes with each passing day.

It is only four years before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

It is also recommended to take a leisurely and spacious walk around the planned site during the autumn holidays.

 

There is also a bus stop near the Central Cleaning Center, and it is recommended to use a bus for a walk. The name of the bus stop is "Hot Plaza Harumi".

See Tsukiji Wonderland (TSUKIJI WONDERLAND)

[Chuo Kotaro] October 20, 2016 09:00

ck1509_20161049.jpgIt's called "Tsukiji Wonderland."

(For those who love Chuo-ku, can't you miss it?)
I've been watching a movie, so I'd like to report it.

 

This time, in addition to the photos on the poster, I'm not sure.

It's just a sentence.

 
It was released in advance in the East Drama from October 1, but from October 15 it will be released nationwide.
Also, overseas film festivals (multiple) have been held.

It's going to be exhibited.
 

○Overview

The Tokyo Metropolitan Wholesale Market Tsukiji Market itself consists of the Fruit and Vegetables Department and the Fisheries Department, but the movie is a documentary focusing on the Fisheries Department.

However, the video is very beautiful, and the appearance of the people who come out in their daily lives in a natural manner is the way they come out.
It was like a powerful drama.
Through the movie, I was able to realize what the "Tsukiji brand" or the world "TSUKIIJI" means, and why it becomes a brand.

 

○Highlights of the movie

・If you dare to mention the main character, is it "the wholesalers"?

The professional figure as a connoisseur is vividly depicted. Tsukiji attracts a large amount of fish (seafood) from all over the world every day. Even the same fish have a different face every day.
Their role is to buy such fish from wholesale through auction, process them appropriately, and sell them to professional cooks and people who come to Tsukiji to buy them.
There is also an advanced connoisseur power to instantly determine the quality of fish, and an advanced technique that processes without losing quality.

For those who come to Tsukiji to buy foodstuffs, wholesalers are indispensable.
In the movie, such wholesalers and wholesalers (the side that brings ingredients to Tsukiji), or the human relationship between wholesalers and buyers is clearly depicted.

For example, culinary professionals such as Rosaburo Dojo, a culinary iron man, and chefs at famous Michelin-listed restaurants and long-established restaurants also visit Tsukiji to consult with wholesalers about ingredients.
Here, chefs trust wholesalers, and wholesalers try to answer their trust, and a business based on Tsukiji's unique trust has been completed.
This trust business is a tradition cultivated over the 80-year history of Tsukiji, and it is the biggest factor that brings Tsukiji to TSUKIJI, and is depicted as an attraction.

・In terms of food culture, architectural value, history, etc.

There are comments from prominent people, so you can understand the Tsukiji market from various perspectives.

・Then, I wrote a story about a cooking professional consulting with a wholesaler.

You can also enjoy beautiful images of how to cook the purchased ingredients after buying them.
You can also see the shops that appear with the feeling of "Oh, that shop".
To give names only to stores in Chuo-ku, Rokusantei (Ginza), Koju (Ginza), and
ESQUISSE (Eskis: Ginza), Sukiyabashi Jiro (Ginza),
Kizushi (Kizushi: Ningyocho) comes out (everywhere is a famous shop).
(Of course, there are famous shops other than Chuo-ku. By the way.

 

○What will happen from the perspective of a correspondent?

・I think this film is very important in terms of recording the culture of Tsukiji.

Isn't it recommended for those who want to enjoy gourmet food in Tokyo (especially Chuo-ku) where delicious food is gathered?
When you eat at a restaurant, you may be worried about the production area and brand, but there you will be more conscious of the word "Tsukiji brand", and I feel that eating will be even more fun.

・It feels like "Sister Edition" or "After Tsukiji Wonderland" after relocation.

I personally see that there is something that covers the outside and Tsukiji 3-chome / 6-chome / 7-chome / Akashicho (Is it called Ura Tsukiji?)
For correspondents, Tsukiji Wonderland = inside the venue + outside the venue + (Tsukiji 3-chome / 6-chome / 7-chome / Akashicho).
