Nepalese cuisine "Namastekatomandu"

[Mido] 13:00 on June 29, 2012

This time we will introduce Nepalese restaurant "Namastekatomandu" in Higashinihombashi.
That's right. An Indian chef cooks authentic Nepalese cuisine.
The atmosphere of the shop is also like Nepal (I have never been to Nepal, but ... sweat)

Actually, it was a joint purchase type coupon (Groupon) that was half the normal price, so
I tried using it. Select one of the following menu.

・Two kinds of curry set (regular price: 1,100 yen)
 A set of two kinds of curry and rice. Choose Nan or Rice.
 Choose from 8 types of curry (chicken, mutton, vegetables, beans, minced meat, etc.).
・Thiaw Men (regular price: 1,000 yen)
 Nepalese style yakisoba mixed with vegetables and chicken.

These will be accompanied by a mini salad and a drink (coffee or chai).
I ate Nepalese yakisoba (Thiaw Men), but it was quite delicious.
That's right. But I think 1000 yen is a little expensive.

After a meal, a master who seems to be a good person comes when he is going to be free, and in Nepal
They showed me snapshots and related books. “Nepal is really good.
So please go sightseeing,” he said in one word Japanese.

This shop is located near Ryogoku Bridge, and you can see the Tokyo Skytree through the window.
That's fine. The master said, "You can see the fireworks of the Sumida River from here."
Get the secret information. Why don't you carry your feet when you drop in nearby?

The construction of the bank is over

[Ryokichi] 13:00 on June 27, 2012

Bank a.JPG Bank b.JPGThe part that was being constructed on the banks of the Sumida River in the spring was completed. This time I will report on this bank.
 
The location is the border between Nihonbashinakasu and Nihonbashihamacho. This is a place where the elevated highway collides with the Sumida River. Under the expressway, it was named Ayame Park, and as a result of the construction, the park was connected to the Sumida River Terrace. Other constructions were also performed here as part of the Sumida River embankment maintenance project.
 
By the way, in the old days, this park, highway, and the whole area up to this bank was a waterway (river) that created the topography of Nakasu between Nihonbashihamacho and Nihonbashinakasu. You can also find the old dike ruins.
 
This bank is very narrow, but if you go up the stairs from Ayame Daini Park side, you will suddenly appear in the bright space of the Sumida River Terrace from behind the highway. I actually went up, but it was a gap because the space in front of it made me feel the closed impression surrounded by highways, the left is the fire department, the front is the bank, and the right is the apartment group, I felt very open and refreshing. At that time, I enjoyed the change in space.
 
The bank itself has been maintained and cleaned, but it is not so large. There are two benches there.
Because it is a little high on the bank, the scenery seen from there is an open one. You can see the Tokyo Skytree, which opened and flourished. And the traffic of the Sumida River. You can see Kiyosu Bridge on the downstream side.
On the other side is the area where the Basho Memorial Hall in Koto-ku and Mannenbashi Bridge are located. It's a good bench even if you sit slowly. Isn't it a great place to see the Sumida River, which has been loved by the common people since Edo? In the future, it is expected that it will be a place for many people to relax.
 
From there, take a walk along the Sumida River Terrace, and you will continue upstream to Shinohashi, Hamacho Park, and downstream to Kiyosu Bridge. It seems that the number of places where you want to keep your feet on the way is increasing again.

Around the public bath in Chuo-ku②

[Satoken] June 4, 2012 18:07

It's been a long time post. It is a season when the weather is good and the wind after the bath is pleasant.

This time, we will introduce the public bath in the city.

First of all, it is Ginza Yu.

When I first found it, I was surprised that there was a public bath in this place. Ginza is just right in the city center

It's close.

As soon as you open the door, there is a stand, and when you pay, you will receive the locker key and go up to the 2nd floor.

The 2nd floor is a dressing room and a bath.

I’m always surprised, but there are quite a few customers. Generally, we will start business on Saturdays and Sundays, but

Some are already here. There are people who seem to be working in a nearby store, mixed with local people

I thought that there was also a need for public baths in the city.

Next is "Tsukishima Onsen". It is located in a building along Monja Street on Tsukishima.

There is also a bath on the second floor. There were a lot of locals and parents here too.

The beer on the bath looks delicious.

I'm looking forward to the next time.

Among the 38 member stores, the Futaba family of Tsukuda 2-chome, a shop that decided on the name of the store in hope that the "new dawn of Japan" will come soon after the war, like "Ginza Akebono", It is fun to know the origin of the store, such as 1868. Among the member stores are members of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Ningyoyaki Honpo Itakuraya, Eitaro Sohonpo, Judo, Bunmeido Nihonbashi Store, Mihara Domoto Store, Irifune Aoyagi, Nishi Hatchobori Aoyagi, Shiose Sohonke, Seigetsu Domoto Store, Tokyo Fengzukido, Ginza Matsuzaki Senbei, etc.

The good thing about raw Japanese sweets is that you can enjoy seasonal flowers and fruits, which are beautiful and delicious. It's really different. This season it seems that Japanese iris and sweetfish are served.

I feel happyhappy01 when I relax at home with astringent tea. It is perfect for gifts and souvenirs in Tokyo.
