Let's follow the streets with the era in Chuo-ku (Part 1)

[often slap] January 30, 2019 09:00

On May 1, this year, the Crown Prince was enthroned as the new Emperor and switched to a new era.
In the streets, "The Last of Heisei"...It was around this time when I often see and hear the word ""
 

Did you know that there are several streets in Chuo-ku with the name of the era?
 

Today, of such "the street with the era", those passing through Chuo-ku are passed.
I would like to introduce it in two parts, dating back to
Heisei.
 

■Part 1 "Heisei-dori"
sbt_1901_01.JPG
Nihonbashi Kabutocho No.2 (Amibashi Minamizume) 2-15 Tsukiji (intersection with Harumi-dori St.)
It's a street running parallel to the west side of Shin-ohashi-dori St.
I don't know why it became the name "Heisei-dori"...。
(I would like somebody to explain to you!)
 

sbt_1901_02.JPG sbt_1901_03.JPG
In Kabuto-cho and Kayabacho near the starting point, the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Photo 1) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Photo 1).
In addition to the auxiliary shrine Hie-jinja Shrine, it reminds me of the period of high economic growth.
Office buildings (second photo) are lined up.
If anything, there is a taste of "Showa", but it is also a taste of "Showa".
Redevelopment of the area has begun beyond the era of Heisei.
I feel the flow of the times.
 

sbt_1901_04.JPG
Tsukiji near the end point is also the Historic buildings selected by Tokyo.
There is a building of "Miyakawa Shokutori Chicken Egg" (built in 1929).
In addition, there are historic sites along the road, such as the site of Shintomiza and the site of Hoshu Katsuragawa Yashiki.
While saying "Heisei", it has become a way to have various eras.

 

■No. 2 Showa-dori
Connecting Shimbashi (Shimbashi 1, Minato-ku) to Ozeki Yokocho (5, Negishi, Taito-ku).
It is a wide street between Shimbashi and Ueno, including in Chuo-ku.
It runs parallel to the east side of Chuo-dori.
 

The Heisei-dori just mentioned is parallel across the Metropolitan Expressway.
 

sbt_1901_11.JPG sbt_1901_05.JPG
This road was constructed after the Great Kanto Earthquake that occurred in 1923 (Daisho 12).
This symbol road was created as a centerpiece of reconstruction city planning.
In 1931 (Showa 6), when the era was just changed to Showa.
Since it was completed, it was nicknamed "Showa-dori".
It was a street that symbolized the new era of Showa.

Its wide width (44 meters) has plenty of street tree belts and sidewalks.
It is also a remnant planned as a park street.
(By the way, at the beginning of the concept, it was planned with a width of 108 meters.
It's more than twice the current width!)
Looking for an old photo in the library, when it was completed, it was between the upper and lower lanes.
It seems that there were two rows of trees and sidewalks. (Partial as parking lots)
It seems to have been used.

 
sbt_1901_07.JPG sbt_1901_06.JPG
The current figure is a section with three or more lanes one way, an underpass dedicated to passing traffic underneath.
In the north of Edobashi, the underground parking lot connected from there is an overpass of the Metropolitan Expressway overhead....
The structure emphasizes functional aspects, handling a large amount of automobile traffic as an aorta in the city center.
In a sense, it has become a road that symbolizes the Showa era, especially the post-war era.
 

Nowadays, it is often thought that there are no sights or highlights just because there are many streets.
This Showa-dori is located along the Nihonbashi Post Office (the birthplace of mail), a monument derived from Betta City, and a monument derived from the city.
Historic sites such as the ruins of Kano Art Juku and like the Nihonbashi Diamond Building (formerly Edobashi Warehouse Building).
In addition to the famous buildings
In Nihonbashi Honmachi, there are Ozu Historical Museum and Daiichi Sankyo Medicine Museum.
There is also a spot.
 

If you walk separately from Heisei-dori and Showa-dori from the viewpoint of street, you can see that you can walk around.
There seems to be a different kind of fun again!

 

By the way, next time I would like to go back to the Taisho era.
Some people think, "There is no Taisho-dori!?"
Actually, when you go back to the past, there was also Taisho-dori in Chuo-ku.
I'm looking forward to it!

 

 

Tsukiji Out-of-site, year-end purchase 2019

[Shiba Inu] January 29, 2019 14:00

It is a topic that has just changed the year and is too early, but it is an introduction of the end-of-year purchase at Tsukiji Outer Market. It seems that there are many people who want to go but do not understand well, so it is easy, but we will deliver the situation of the site and how to enjoy it.

P1030168.png

The date is 12/30. There are plenty of items on sale, from seafood, meat, seaweed, roast beef, kejan and chestnut kinton, a restaurant purveyor to daily necessities. Each store opens around 5 o'clock in the morning, so you can move quickly if you go out of the hall just before and grab the intuition of each street while wandering around. The actual outside is not so big. There are a lot of shops there.

P1030141.png

It is very crowded after the sun rises, so we recommend the time from early morning to sunrise. You don't have to worry about selling out. Also, there is a mysterious uplift that a large number of people are on the market during this time. It's fun to come to Yokai's night market. There is a parking lot, but it's congested, so it might be better to leave to get there early or ask a driver.

P1030152.png

In addition to the purchase, there are also pleasures of eat-in. There are a wide variety of things such as Kuansu sushi and ramen at dawn. The complex Tsukiji Fish Bank Restaurant Floor is open at 7:00 in the morning. There is also a delicious shop here!

P1030174.png

Every egg-yaki shop is a large line of prosperity, but there are shops that can be bought early in the morning even if you don't make a reservation. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to line up. As expected, the shop is also quick! The 100 yen egg skewers are sold normally.

P1030177.png

At present, the hall is completely closed and cannot be entered. Until last year, I was free to enter and exit, and I was able to see the sunrise rising to Tokyo Bay from the hall.

P1030135.png

It is not recommended for those who are not good at crowded places because there are many crowds, but if you go early, you can enjoy watching around without stress. After shopping, I think it would be refreshing to go home after watching the sunrise rising at Namiki Inari Shrine, Kachidokibashi, Tsukiji Honganji, etc.

P1030180.png

As mentioned above, it was a simple and rush, but it was an introduction of the year-end purchase at Tsukiji Outer Market. Please come and visit us at the end of 2019. It's fun!

The exquisite Sanuki udon and Kashiwa-ten @ Ningyocho "Taniya"

[Edamame] January 29, 2019 12:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

 
・・How are you, everyone?

The Edamame family is after the New Year has settled down. 

I was hit by the flu in my family.

(Only Edamame seems to have escaped safely, but it is probably due to the tiredness of nursing care of her daughter Azuki.

For some reason, it seems that I got only a nose cold from somewhere. I had a sore throat and nose.

Whether you're planning to meet your friends or go out.

Correspondent activities and study for the "Chuo-ku Tourism Test" on February 3rd.

Everything was blown away somewhere (tears).

・・No matter what you do, it is health first. That's right.

And yeah. The flu is still ragedy.

Please take care of yourself.
 

That's why I finally came to be able to live everyday in my family.

First of all, I would like to go out for lunch with my family.

The aim is ... the neighborhood of my home, and the teacher's shop where I learned how to make udon a while ago.

(Click here for the article at that time → /archive/2018/11/hama-house-2.html)

This is Sanuki udon "Taniya" in Ningyocho.

 

DSC_5030-1.jpg

After all, there is a line at lunchtime on the day off.

Still, maybe it's a udon shop.

I didn't have to wait for a long time because the rotation was good.

In my home, I said that it would be okay to use the counter seat instead of the table seat.

I was told that you were able to guide you early.

(In the case of a child smaller than azuki who is over 3 and a half years old)

I think there are cases where you are worried about a tall chair at the counter seat. )

That's right. There were a lot of customers with children.

There are quite a few table seats.

(Counter seats: 15 seats table seats: 18 seats)

I think that even small children can eat rice together with peace of mind.
 

DSC_5033-1.jpg

By the way, in the space near the entrance

"Tani-sensei," Mr. Tani, the owner of the shop, makes udon noodles.

I can see it while I wait.

Actually, it's not hard to wait that much.

 

I'm looking at the menu between the queues, so I ordered it as soon as I got a seat.

I came here without waiting so long after ordering.

DSC_5035-1.jpg

If you come here, you will ask for nothing.

"Kashiwa Tentsuke Udon" is 1000 yen.

(You can choose whether it is warm or cold. Because we are warm today.

DSC_5034-1.jpg

There are three "Kashiwa Ten (chicken breast tempura)" and three vegetable tempura.

Today's vegetables were "shiitake mushrooms, green onions, carrots".

I feel that this is different depending on the season.

I think you're choosing a delicious one at that time.

In fact, the garlic tempura was very sweet and delicious!

And then. I wrote it in the previous article.

Edamame, this "Kashiwaten" is my favorite.

Mr. Tani said before that he was quite particular about chicken.

It's a breast, but it's soft and delicious.

Oh, happy! I did it. Shimijimi. Shimijimi.


Of course, the udon that Mr. Tani hits with heart is also exquisite.

It's shiny, beautiful, firm, and really delicious.

No matter how many times you come, you won't get tired of eating, and it's a taste that makes you want to eat again.

I think it's because I have the experience of hitting myself.

A neighbor is a shop where you can enjoy such delicious udon.

I think it's really happy.



By the way, about the amount of udon.

No matter which you choose the average (about 200 grams), medium (about 300 grams), or large (about 400 grams).

It's the same price.

(If it is extra-large, it will be +150 yen.)

What a wallet-friendly setting!

It means that one woman becomes full at the same time.

If you have two adults (male + female) + one 3-year-old child, about two middles?

Did you say that?

This area depends on the situation at home or how much appetite.

It is easy to adjust the amount according to the situation, so when you go out with children.

I'm really grateful for the udon restaurant.

As a food ingredient, wheat should have been checked for allergies in the early stages of baby food.

It's nice to be able to eat with peace of mind.

DSC_5036-1.jpg

Of course, there are also forks and bowls for small children for families.

You can eat with peace of mind.


That's why I had a good taste while chewing my health.

This year without any more illness

I want to stay healthy and eat a lot of delicious food.

And in summer, "Taniya" has a delicious cold bukkake udon.

The contents of the tempura are different depending on the season.

I would like to ask you again!

2 weeks after opening! TSUKIJI DELI, which has funny tricks

[Hanes] January 28, 2019 14:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, I revisited TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store, which was introduced in the middle of this month.
2 weeks from the grand opening on the 11th...I was wondering if there was any change.
Surprisingly, "In this short period of time !?" It turned into a fulfilling shop.

From rare items to check for Chuo-ku lovers, news that you want to talk to everyone, etc.
The tricks to make Tsukiji even more vibrant and the creation of topics are also perfect.
This time, I will tell you about the "now" of TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store, which is evolving every day!

DSC_3567.JPG

■New menus and products
From the time we introduced last time, we have increased the number of roast beef rice balls by two.
As you can see in the photo, "Yoshiokaya Tanakatsuki" and "Akiyama Shoten Magurobushi" joined the group.
How does the match between the fish and the roast beef?
Expectations increase because the taste of the last time is remembered.

DSC_3560.JPG
(I'm sorry for the slightly tilted photo.)

And in addition to the signboard "Sake Kasu Milk Mashiro" and "Roast Beef Onigiri (RBO)"
Curry, miso stew, etc. of beef sushi that can be purchased as souvenirs for those coming from afar.
It seems that new menus and souvenir gifts for take-out are increasing one after another.

Personally, I'm worried about the store manager's recommendation set (30 sets daily only) scheduled to start sales from Monday, February 4!
Isn't 3 kinds of today's rice balls on a boat dish too luxurious?
I am worried about what the new menu of sake lees milk soup is like.
I think it will be a warm menu of Tsukiji that I want to check this winter.

DSC_3559.JPG

■To make you want to take a picture
It's not just the menu that powered up in two weeks!
The pure white wall now has a cute design.
A logo that is just right for taking pictures to commemorate the visit.

DSC_3565.JPG

The background of roast beef rice balls is such a thing that you want to aim for Instagram!

DSC_3561.JPG

This time, we had sesame (ice) of "Sake Kasu Milk Mashiro", which the shop also said that they liked it, and we had it.
As a result of trial and error on my own to see if I could somehow take a cute picture.
I was able to take a little unique picture of letting cow drink sake lees milk.

DSC_3563.JPG

The sesame we received this time has a fragrance like amazake, but it looks and tastes.
The point is that it has a sesame flavor, but it is not too persistent and easy to drink.
It feels like an elegant black sesame pudding has become a drink, and it's just "drinking sweets"!
Matcha, sesame, and kinako sweets are recommended to have them iced to enjoy their respective flavors.

■Official LINE
As I introduced last time, seasonal information is also available on the official LINE.
Now I'm giving this can badge to those who have registered as friends.

DSC_3558_.jpg

Those who thought, "Ah, can badge!" Actually, there is a fact that it is a can badge or a can badge.
This can badge is a souvenir that I handed out at an event to attract the general public about 20 years ago when Tsukiji Market was still a professional purchase place.
Would you like to have a little rare feeling?

Also, I'm surprised that Ryoko Yonekura was coming as a Kirin campaign girl at the event!
This can badge will end as soon as it runs out, so if you are worried, please contact us as soon as possible.
(The Tsukiji mark in the design of the can badge is also listed on the entire Tsukiji Outer Market Map.)

■Finally appeared on TV programs
Mr. TSUKIJI DELI, who has been featured in newspapers, radio, and online news.
It seems that it will finally appear on TV programs, and details are as follows.
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 20: 15-20: 43 Exploring Bakumon (NHK)

DSC_3566.JPG

If you have time, please check it out!

TSUKIJI DELI, where interesting ideas and initiatives shine, has a feeling of excitement that makes me want to come again.
I'm looking forward to future progress and keep an eye on it.
Please refer to this article for access and business hours.
For inquiries, please contact us at 03-6264-0063.

 

 

Tokyo Parks Navi ~ Visit Hamarikyu Onshi Park~

[Tokyo Dumbo] January 23, 2019 18:00

 "Tokyo Parks Navi" is open to the public from Tokyo as a tool for enjoying sightseeing in the Hamarikyu Gardens.

 

Screenshot 2019-01-20 19.51.36.png

 

"Easy course where you can go around crispy, course that absorbs knowledge over a lot of time. A record of fun sightseeing. The Tokyo Metropolitan Park Walking App "Tokyo Parks Navi" helps you walk around the park according to your purpose with a wealth of data such as map function and route display function, audio and video, fun to touch and easy operation. I can download the app from Apple Store or Google Play. Tokyo Dumbo also immediately IN to smartphones!

 

Screenshot 2019-01-20 19.59.05.png

Screenshot 2019-01-20 19.59.34.png

 

When approaching the guide spot set in the park, the terminal automatically reacts (or touches the tag and reads the QR code), and detailed information on the spot is provided in text, audio and video. Information that cannot be known just by walking around the park can be obtained by simple operation. In addition, there is also a guide function and a notification function such as events, so that it can be used to stroll efficiently and happily in the park.

 

Copy of IMG_4956. JPGCopy of IMG_4959. JPG

                                

 

In addition to Japanese, there are information in English, Chinese, Korean, and French, so it can be very useful when traveling overseas.

 

 

Screenshot 2019-01-20 19.50.22.png

 

The cold days continue, but Tokyo Dumbo took a leisurely stroll through Hamarikyu with Tokyo Parks Navi as a guide.

In the flower garden, the yellow blooming canola flower and the pink colored red plum taught me that spring is not far away.
