At the mouth of the Sumida River, "Ring Route 2 Sumida River Bridge (tentative name)" was born.

[kimitaku] May 18, 2014 17:00

 Recently, you can see a new bridge downstream of Kachidokibashi.

 It is colored with a silver lineage, and the contrast with the blue color of the water surface is wonderful.

 The Shiodome skyscraper is also beautiful in the distance.

 It was recently bridged as an extension of this bridge, Loop Route 2.

 It seems that the opening is still ahead, but it is wonderful with a silhouette that is very similar to Kachidokibashi that I have so far.

 

 Construction of Loop Route 2 (MacArthur Road) is underway at a rapid pace from Ariake, Koto-ku to Shin Toyosu (wholesale market is under construction), Toyosu Ohashi, and Kachidoki, Chuo-ku.

 Then cross the new bridge and connect from Tsukiji Market to Hamarikyu, and to Shimbashi, Toranomon, and Tameike.

 

It may be fun to take a walk while watching the changing Route 2 for the summer.

   ・・・ We are currently recruiting names for this bridge. ・・・

Application method is written on page 3 of "News of Ward" issued on April 21. The deadline is May 20th.

The Tokyo Art Antique Art Festival is very fun.

[kimitaku] May 3, 2014 18:00

From Thursday, April 24 to 26 (Sat)

"Tokyo Art Antique Nihonbashi Kyobashi Art Antique Festival" was held.

DSC_0041-1.jpgDSC_0039-1.jpgHigashi-dori in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi is home to art shops and antique shops, and it is always crowded with many customers.

 

 It is a unique art densely populated area that pours into Ginza with 150 stores.

 Usually, artworks and antique shops with high thresholds could be easily entered on this day only, and it was full of many customers.

 Inside the shop, you can actually appreciate the hanging scroll by Kourin Ogata, the praise of Sotatsu Tawaraya, and the wood carving of Denchu Hirakushi in front of you, and you are overwhelmed by the realism.

 In addition, each owner will carefully explain each item.

I was able to enjoy a sense of realism different from the museum.

The dyeing of the photo and the maki-e jujube are from Kasugai, an antique art in front of Tokyo Square Garden.

 The owner is a friendly person. I asked you to feel free to ask, and I studied a lot for a long time. 

 If you carry "2014 Pasuport", the conversation with the owner will be smooth. I have a very fun conversation.

 The barrel on the far right is a tub of "Tarugen" in Kyoto, which is used for yudofu. The round tub is a bargain that is hard to see.

Japanese sweets of the Minoya season

[Tachibana] May 3, 2014 09:00

May when the wind is fragrant. The 5th is Children's Day, but Children's Day is Kashiwamochi, a Japanese confectionery shop that takes care of the sense of the season, "Sannoya". I would like to introduce it.

The place is the second house after exiting Ningyocho A4, walking on Koza-dori toward Hisamatsucho intersection, turning left on the road in front of Hisamatsu Police, just behind the monument of Ogawa Bridge, Hisamatsu Children's Park It lies next to).

 

Minosha opened in 1947, so it has a history of 67 years this year, and now the second generation owner is making sweets. In addition, my son is also helping, so it seems that you can enjoy the taste of the sweets of Kyosanosha in the future.

All the sweets are handmade and the main ingredients are domestic products, and the fresh confectionery takes care of the sense of the season, so it seems that it will be changed to seasonal sweets in about a month.

Right now, the shops are made of soy beans and yame raw sweets.

Sora beans are a good workmanship that can be mistaken for the real thing. Of course, the taste is also delicious.

 

In this season, until around May 10, there are Koshian and Miso Kashiwa Mochi.

After Kashiwa mochi, it seems that it continues with water yokan, mizumanju, and kuzuzakura.

And in June, fresh sweets of hydrangea and water ginger appear.

 

The rice balls are also very delicious, but at our shop, which values the sense of the season, it seems that sales are twice a year around the equinoctial week in spring and autumn.

In addition, it is lined up at stores such as yokan and tsubushian dorayaki (which is characterized by a thin skin color compared to other stores).

In addition, you can also purchase red rice, wheat and joyo buns (for ceremonial occasions), and birth rice cakes.

Birth mochi is a mochi written in red with the word "Kotobuki" that is carried by a child who is one year old.

There is a coffee room in the shop, so you can take a break.

The store is very well-ventilated, so even in summer (from June 1), it is reputed that shaved ice can be delicious without air conditioning.

Please enjoy the seasonal taste of Minonosha.
