"Chuo-ku Tour Trip" Edo Bus (North Loop) Ride Diary

[Koedo Itabashi] July 23, 2010 13:30

In the afternoon after the rainy season, I took the "Edo Bus (Chuo-ku Community Bus)" in the afternoon.

In front of the entrance of Chuo-ku government office, two small buses, south circulation and north circulation, were lined up back and forth.

The bright red body accentuates the cuteness.

Utilizing the advantage of the first departure place, ride a 100 yen coin in a coin box into a car where no customer is yet on board.

The seat we aim for is the left end seat at the back. The last seat is about two steps high in a non-step car, so the outside view is good, the elbows are plump, and there is a modest "value".

 

There are 11 seats. I have 8 straps. The thick grip stick is also arranged for easy grabbing.

 

Almost unconscious north circulation stops at 28 locations such as Tokyo Station, Shin-Nihonbashi Station, Hamacho Station, and Suitengumae Station.

 

"I'm leaving." "I'll turn left."

"Well. What a soft voice driver?'

A gentle voice after confirming the customer's appearance.

If you are concerned about this care, the elderly who use it to go to the hospital are safe.

 

Anyway, since it's a weekday afternoon under the scorching sun, OL, who escaped the heat outside, is on a short sleep, perhaps due to work fatigue.

 

When you pass around Hamacho, you will reflexively delusion that "a woman in kimono should definitely be walking", but a sister who did not meet expectations and was sharp in walking showed up He gave me

 

The most impressive scene for me is Kiyosu Bridge, which can be seen from the middle of the intersection where you turn right. It was just a moment, but the bridge seemed to approach me, and I looked closely.

 

On the way, Tokyo Station, inhabitant of a ward center, hospital, partner company ... For me, the purpose of riding itself, I felt that the Edo bus, which has been established as a means of transportation for customers, was something valuable.

 

With a small car body, you can easily get into a narrow road, the Debu cat mark, no, and the lucky beckoning cat is cute.

There was a gentle image of the anime cat bus.

 

About 65 minutes around. It's almost the same as the time around the JR Yamanote Line.

How about traveling around Chuo-ku?

[Mapo ★] July 22, 2010 08:30

You can drink "Asahi Super Dry" extra cold below freezing in Ginza.
On the third day of the three consecutive holidays, it was very hot, but there was a huge line.
Ginza Street, the intersection of 1-chome, next to Diamond Shiraishi.
It seems that it is a limited-time antenna shop until the end of August.

I asked the staff on the table.
They use a special server and are now minus 2 degrees.
It seems that you will be able to drink at various shops from now on (*^^ *)

I'm not good at beer, so I only interviewed (^^;

 500ml can take about 5 minutes, and 350ml can take about 3 minutes.

Today is Tanabata, isn't it?★

The Tanabata Sweets Fair is held in Ginza's depa basement, Mitsukoshi, Matsuya, and Matsuzakaya.

 

★Tanabata festival Warabimochi of Genkichichoan

The strips are cool and delicious~ (*^^*)
Warabi mochi is often not sweet and kinako is sweet, but it is often sweet.
Here, the rice cake itself is sweet and the kinako is not sweet.
You can cool it well and eat it smoothly (* ^^ *)

Add flavor with red beans and smooth rice cake with smooth rice cake.
The bamboo leaves and strips made with yokan are served.
The star shining in the night sky is expressed with gold leaf. (From the shop's website)

Genkichichoan has a Ginza main store on Ginza Street in Ginza 7-chome.
But there are also Kamakura main store and Okayama main store.
It's like a Japanese confectionery that originally originated in Okayama.

On the second floor of the Ginza Main Store, there is also a tea dormitory, Kichichoan. It's also in Ginza Matsuya.

★Tanabata shrimp cracker of Katsura Shindo

Katsura Shindo is a shrimp confectionery company in Nagoya.

Seasonal products such as Setsubun, hydrangea, Valentine's Day, Summer Festival, Hinamatsuri, etc.
I'm always looking forward to it because the design is elaborate and the taste is delicious.

The biggest one of the Tanabata shrimp crackers is the lyrics of Tanabata (* ^^ *).

 Shrimp rice cracker with a pinkish feeling
It has the strongest flavor of shrimp and claims shrimp, but it claims to be shrimp.
After all, I like this white soft one best!

In the coming season, besides the summer festival, shrimp crackers such as playing in the water of goldfish will be sold.

★Hanazono Manzu with Yoshi Nomoto Kuzuku (at the sweets fair in 2009)
My name is Tokyo famous confectionery Hanazono.
There is a main store near Hanazono-jinja Shrine in Shinjuku, and it is a long-established store that has been in business for 174 years.

It seems that "wet sweet" or "Hanazono Manzu" are classic, but it seems to be a standard thing.
At Tanabata Sweets, there is a lot of kuzu with Yoshi Nomoto Kuzu. ★I bought it because it's cute.
There was another tomato flavor, and it looked good when I bought one by one in terms of color.
I couldn't eat tomatoes, so I made them two ordinary ones (laughs).

It's delicious when cooled and eaten~
The size is just right. The crust part is plump and the inside Koshian is also good!
By the way, Kuju mochi in Kanto and Kuzu mochi in Kansai?
The manufacturing method, including the historical background, is completely different!

Hanazono Manto is located in Ginza, Mitsukoshi in Nihonbashi, and Nihonbashi Takashimaya.
Hanazono's homepage

Not only Japanese sweets but also Western sweets Tanabata sweets are available.
When you go to a department store, be sure to feel like Tanabata at the sweets section (* ^^ *)

During this time, while walking around 6-chome in Ginza, I found Hirata Ranch!
I went there right away!

Even though it is Ginza, the lunch of Sangen pork roast wins is 1100 yen (* ^^*)
At first, I ate it with seaweed salt. This is also delicious!
But after all, I have this sweet sauce.
