Tour Kuzakai, Chuo-ku①

[Satoken] July 31, 2013 14:00

The other day

As usual, Higashinihombashi was walking in the direction of Bakurocho. The future is Chiyoda-ku, so what is the border between the ward?

I decided to walk along the ward world.

Then there was an interesting discovery. The area around Kandaiwamotocho, Otemmacho, and Kodemmacho is complicated, and one park is Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku.

There was a park with a signboard.

It is "Ryukan Children's Park". There is no clear border in the park, and a small bridge is the border between Chiyoda-ku and Chuo-ku.

It is a small park with a Japanese-style public toilet.

In search of coolness in Ningyocho <Judo Hiyokan>

[whatever] July 25, 2013 14:00

　The intense heat of the day after the rainy season has eased a little, and the days when it is easy to spend for a while, but if the day goes higher, the house will be humid. The news that there are surprisingly many heat stroke indoors crossed my head, reminded me of a sticker next to the entrance of Kotobukido in Ningyocho, and started preparing for coolness.

　Judo is located along Ningyocho-dori Street, and famous confectionery called "Koganeimo" is a signboard product, and when you pass near the shop, you have a slight scent of nikki. However, the aim of this time is "Koori Yokan".

　What is ice yokan? While imagining that it's like an azuki bar ... and imagining this, I ordered three bottles to the shop. The real thing that came out of the freezer was a cute, yokan stuck in a bamboo skewer. He shouted, "Oh!" In his heart, and paid and rushed home.

　The size is 1-2cm square, about 7cm long. Refreshing texture, non-sticky, elegant sweetness. It didn't melt and collapse, and it was a crisp and crisp taste. Put up with 2 or 3 bottles and where you want to eat, and the remaining 2 bottles go to the freezer. Please take care of it again on a hot day.

　In early August, Ningyocho Street will be held. Ice yokan is a summer-only product, so please enjoy a moment of coolness with ice yokan when you come.

"Edoya" for 300 years after making brushes

[Tachibana] July 24, 2013 14:00

Do you know the difference between brushes and brushes?

In the era of the 7th Shogun's family, he became a "brusher" with the Shogun's family, and in 1718, he became a Shogun's family.

A shop that has been brushing for nearly 300 years since receiving the name of "Edoya", and has been making brushes since the Meiji era.

I'll introduce you.

Outside signboard of Edoya

The street in front of the store is the old Nikko Kaido (currently Daidenma Honcho-dori St.).

Now you can see the Sky Tree in front of you.

Brushes are made by sandwiching horse hair, goat hair, human hair, etc. with trees. It seems that the hair tip is more important than anything.

This brush is used when applying lacquer.

It's made of human hair.

On the other hand, brushes are made by drilling holes in the base and planting hairs.

The brush on the left is used when printing on a wooden box.

It's a brush

In addition, there are various types of products such as toothbrushes, makeup brushes, grandchild hand brushes, and scourers.

Why don't you take a look at the shop once?

Coffee shop specializing in takeout <MAHALO>

[whatever] July 12, 2013 14:00

　The rainy season is over again this year, and it is summer performance. In the intense heat of the day, you can hear voices saying, "No, it's hot, I've come." In such a case, I want to get cool at once with a cold drink.

　You can enjoy delicious Hawaiian coffee at MAHALO, a coffee shop specializing in takeout in Ningyocho. By the way, 'Mahalo' used in the store name means "thank you" or "thank you" in Hawaiian, and I hear that it is used in place instead of 'Thank you'.

　Weekdays are closed at 6:30 in the evening, so I often use it on weekends when work is closed. It's very helpful to be open on weekends. As an aside, there are many restaurants in Chuo-ku that are not open on weekends and holidays (although the area around Ginza). Even a big coffee shop is usually closed on weekends.

　It specializes in takeout, but there is a space where you can stand and drink at the storefront (about 2 to 3 people). It was okay to bring a dog. The cooler works and it's cool. In winter, there was a heater at my feet. There is a place where you enter the Ningyocho street a little side, but the clerk always has "Hello ~

" and to those who pass by the front of the shop comfortably.

　We also sell Hawaiian mineral water and mini-sized chocolate bars. I like the balance between bitterness and sweetness, so I always order "Cafe Mocha", but this time it would be nice to cool down with the "Frozen ○○○" menu.

MAHALO

2-5-7, Nihonbashiningyocho, Chuo-ku
