Edo Bunkamura in Hamarikyu Garden April 2014

[Silver] April 20, 2014 14:00

 

 "Edo Bunkamura in Hamarikyu Onshi Garden" was held for the first time and went on April 19, the first day. 

At first, there was congratulatory address from Mayor Yada and other guests. Miss Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador also adds flowers.

The concept this time is

1.Taste food culture

2.Knowing Edo products

3.It is about to experience Edo performing arts.

 
 

After the opening remarks, wadaiko's performance was powerful and energetic.

In the sense of knowing Edo products, I purchased Tabi from Onoya Sohonten.

This small tabi has a very popular reputation for "storeing feet (money)".

At Ginza Hiranoen, we purchased delicious Japanese tea and enjoyed it the next day.

There is a famous store in Chuo-ku in the "Edo Nikiwai Store Corner".

Well, what would you like to have a fun lunch?

I purchased a sukiyaki lunch box and a Sukeroku lunch box from Ningyocho Imahan.

Sukiyaki was very delicious because large Japanese beef was seasoned elegantly.

Sukeroku puts sukiyakiniku on Inari-san, and roast beef-style nigiri sushi was also delicious.

I look forward to this event going on every year.

 

 

 

From Horidome-cho, my memories...

[Kenken] April 20, 2014 09:00

Horidome.JPG 

The neighborhood of Nihonbashi-Horidome-cho to Nihonbashi Ningyo-cho is located.

It is the area that started my life as a member of society.

 

I wanted to walk on this day, so I came here.

 

Ningyocho-dori, where the Hibiya Line runs underground.

As expected, there are few people around Kodemmacho on weekends to Horidomecho.

Enter a little street and head to "Sugimori Shrine" (1-10-2 Horidomecho).

 

This is one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, where Ebisu God is enshrined.

It is also known that the lottery industry was held for the purpose of renovating shrines and temples.

 

 

Thank you very much.

Chozuya was equipped with a sensor for water coming out soon.Suginomori - Automatic tearai.JPG

 

After the worship, you will see the surrounding area again.

In the surrounding area, signs of business partners who had been taken care of before were found everywhere, and I was deeply impressed by myself when I was a member of society after 20 years ago.

 

In the meantime, go to Koami Shrine (16-23 Koamicho), known for its "Good luck protection against misfortune." Of course, it's a corner of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods.

Inside, there was a Zen-washing Benten, and the space for Zen-washing was also clean.

I was able to wash the coins without any omission.

With this, you can connect hope to "Do you get better luck such as hitting a lottery?"

 

 

Well, I went to amazake Yokocho to buy souvenirs for my family.

The target for this day was "Inari Sushi Shinota" by "Shino Ta Sushi Sohonten" (2-10-10 Ningyocho).

 

The fried chicken is light (?) Seasoning. The first small Inari-san is an affordable size that can be eaten even in a bite.

Even before dinner, it was finished quickly.

Sumida River Spring feature "Waseda-Keio Regatta"

[Tachibana] April 16, 2014 09:00

On April 13th (Sun), the 83rd Waseda-Keio Regatta was held on the Sumida River under a spring-like weather.
 

Waseda-Keio Regatta has a history of more than 100 years and is said to be one of the world's three largest regattas, along with Oxford vs. Cambridge and Harvard vs. Yale.
 

Since the first Waseda-Keio Regatta was held in Mukaijima, Sumida River in 1905, it has been suspended twice due to war and other events.
In addition, after the Sumida River contamination and the change of the venue due to bridge construction, from the 47th convention in 1978.
It is held back to the Sumida River.

Until two years ago, the starting point was the upstream of Ryogoku Bridge, but since last year the starting point was changed to the upstream of Shinohashi (the race distance also increased from 3,000m to 3,750m), Chuo-ku was also involved. Thing.
 

The tournament itself has been held since the morning, but only two races, the second Eight and the opponent Eight, will start from the upper part of Shinohashi (around Hamacho Park).

The second eight started at 14:00, but no matter what time you wait, it doesn't start. Apparently, on the way to row the boat from the upstream of the Sumida River to the starting point, one boat seems to have overturned.

This is a boat of Keio University, but it is so long and narrow. That means that it is weak and easily overturns to the waves from the side of the water bus or motorboat. After all, the second eight will be held again on another day.

 

The opponent's eight started at 15:30 on time.
 

As expected, the game has a long history. Before the start, there was an exchange of school songs, cheering songs and ale depending on the cheering groups of both schools and cheer.

r1.jpgr2.jpg

It's just before the start time. In order to keep the boats from both schools at the correct starting point, a person on another boat is firmly grabbing behind the boat. It takes a lot of power and it's hard.

r3.jpg
It's a start.

r4.jpg

And he passed by in front of him. It's beautiful to see with the movement of the eight rowers.

r5.jpg

In today's result, Keio University won the opponent, but I felt the spirit of both schools that exceeded the victory or defeat.

In the past, it seems that there were events unique to Waseda-Keio Regatta, with a sense of competition, such as the sinking of the Keio boat in a race held in a stormy condition, and that there was an unusual companion in boat race.

 

 

Oxitanial, a French confectionery specialty store ★Suitengumae

[Mapo ★] April 12, 2014 09:00

Speaking of Club Harrier, it's a famous restaurant in Baumkuchen.

The French confectionery specialty store "Oxitanial" is located in front of Suitengu in front of the club Harrie.

 

 

There were a lot of customers who took it out.

There are various kinds of macaron, raw caramel, pound cake, etc.

The egg-shaped baked confectionery called Okushitaniarkokko seems to be popular.

 

It was after eating sushi on this day, so I ate cakes at the cafe.

It was a design that looked like a blog, so I chose this one (laughs).

Orange and mousse are refreshing and good for the coming season (* ^^ *)

This is macaron.

The exterior is also fashionable.

☆Sumo Room in Chuo-ku

[Conquering Show Lew ☆] April 6, 2014 09:00

Do you like sumo wrestling?

 

In March, Kakuryu won the first victory and became Yokozuna.

 

At present, only one of the 44 sumo rooms is located in Chuo Ward.

The Arashio room is very close to Hamacho Park.

I have a Chinese sumo wrestler, Sokokurai.

I would like to tell you about the practice in the future, so please look forward to it!

 

The photo shows the area near the Arashio room on the first day of March.
