Nepal dish "Namastekatomandu"

[Mido] June 29, 2012 13:00

This time, I would like to introduce the Nepalese restaurant "Namastekatomandu" in Higashinihombashi.
That's right. Indian chefs are making authentic Nepalese dishes.
The atmosphere of the store is also like Nepal (I've never been to Nepal, but sweat)

Actually, the co-purchase coupon (Groupon) was half the normal fee, so it was half the price.
I tried to use it. Select one of the following options.

・2 kinds of curry set (normal price: 1,100 yen)
 A set of 2 kinds of curry and rice. Choose Nan or rice.
 Choose 2 from 8 types of curry (chicken, mutton, vegetables, beans, minced meat, etc.).
・Chaumen (normal price: 1,000 yen)
 Nepal style yakisoba mixed with vegetables and chicken.

These include mini salads and drinks (coffee or chai).
I ate Nepal-style yakisoba (chaumen), but it was quite delicious.
That's right. But I think that 1000 yen is a little expensive.

After eating, a master who looks good at people came and was in Nepal
He showed me snapshots and related books. "Nepal is a really good thing.
So please go sightseeing, "he said in one word in Japanese.

This shop is located near Ryogokubashi, and you can see the Tokyo Sky Tree clearly through the window.
It's good. The master also says, "You can see the fireworks of the Sumida River from here."
Get secret information. Why don't you carry your feet when you drop in nearby?

After the construction of the bank is completed

[Ryokichi] June 27, 2012 13:00

Bank a.JPG Bank b.JPGThe part that was being constructed on the bank of the Sumida River in the spring was completed. This time, I would like to report on this bank.
 
The location is the border between Nihonbashinakasu and Nihonbashihamacho. It is a place where the overpass of the expressway collides with the Sumida River. Under the highway, it was named Ayame Park, and as a result of construction, the park was connected to the Sumida River Terrace. As part of the Sumida River embankment maintenance project, other works were also performed here.
 
By the way, in the old days, this park, expressway, 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 ruins of dike.
 
This bank is very narrow, but if you go up the stairs from the Ayame Daini Park side, you will suddenly come out from the shade of the highway to the bright space of the Sumida River Terrace. I actually went up, but the space in front of it was a gap because the space in front of it was an expressway, the fire department on the left, the bank on the front, and the apartment group on the right I felt a very open and refreshing feeling. At that time, I enjoyed the change of space.
 
The bank itself has been well maintained and cleaned, but it is not so large. There is a two-person bench there.
Because it is a little high on the bank, the scenery seen from there is an open one. You can see the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is open and prosperous. And the traffic of the Sumida River. You can see Kiyosu Bridge on the downstream side.
The opposite bank is the area where the Basho Memorial Hall in Koto-ku and the Mannenbashi Bridge are located. It's a pleasant bench even if you sit down slowly. Isn't it a great place to see the Sumida River, which has been loved by the common people since the Edo period? Probably, it is expected to be a place for many people to relax in the future.
 
From there, take a walk on the Sumida River Terrace, and the upstream leads to Shinohashi and Hamacho Park, and the downstream leads to Kiyosubashi. It seems that the number of places where you want to stay on your feet during the walk has increased again.

Around the public bath in Chuo-ku②

[Satoken] June 4, 2012 18:07

It's been a long time. It's a season when the climate is better and the wind after the bath is pleasant.

This time, I would like to introduce the public baths in the city.

First of all, it's "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 near here.

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 second floor is the dressing room and bath.

I'm always surprised, but there are quite a few customers. In general, we will go shortly after the start of business on Saturdays and Sundays.

Some people have already come. Some people seem to be working in a nearby store, mixed with local people.

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

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

This is also a bath on the second floor. There were many local people and parents here too.

It looks delicious with monja and beer on the bath.

I'm looking forward to the next time.

[Silver] June 2, 2012 08:30

The Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Association has been creating a map of information in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of 2010 since the formation of the union in 1890. I found it stuck in my bag all the time and said, "This is a fun city walkrun! "And I started visiting the shop. Among the 38 member stores, like "Ginza Akebono", the Futaba family of Tsukuda 2-chome, said that the name of the store was decided in hope of a "new dawn of Japan" shortly after the war, It is fun to know the origin of the shop, such as 1868. The franchised stores include Ningyo-yaki Honpo Itakuraya, Eitaro Sohonpo, Judo, Bunmeido Nihonbashi, Mihara Domoto, Irifune Aoyagi, Nishi Hatchobori Aoyagi, Shiose Sohonke, Seigetsu Domoto, Tokyo Fugetsudo, and Ginza Matsuzaki store.

The good thing about raw Japanese sweets is that you can enjoy beautiful and delicious with seasonal flowers and fruits. It's a bit different. It seems that this season has Japanese iris and sweetfish.

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