Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I immediately challenged the treasure hunt that started on July 24 (Sun).

　

In the treasure hunt for the whole Chuo-ku three years ago, it was difficult to first identify the hidden place of the treasure from the hint, but in the treasure hunt at Higashi-Nihonbashi 2-chome, it is relatively easy to identify the location from the photos and explanations of the pamphlet It is.

　

The treasure chest three years ago was like this.

It was relatively easy to find because it was large, but this time it was small and the color was sober, so it was a little difficult to find it.

　

Now, I will show you a picture of what you are looking for for.

Look for a tree that looks like a lumber is cut in the middle. (It's the same in any place.)

And when you open the inside, the letters are written.

　
When you find letters from the six treasure chests and sort them out, a word comes out.

If you write this in the answer sheet and submit it, it is OK.

　
I put it in the first 400 applicants, so I received a portable eco bag.

The black is a cat chan, and the pink is a panda pattern.

When spread

It will be.

When I walked around the town, I saw some groups of people trying to find treasure with a pamphlet, but more than that was a group chasing Pokemon with a smartphone in one hand. did. I'm sorry.
　

You can apply for treasure hunts until August 7th. Eco bags still remain, so if you are interested, please join us.

 

 

It is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a range.

　

When I am very tired, I come to amazake Yokocho.

We visited Futaba of Tofu in Yokocho, Ningyocho, amazake.

Now, in addition to products such as tofu and ganmo, there are amazake and tofu donuts that were not introduced last time.

　

I'll introduce you from amazake.

　

The name of amazake Yokocho is derived from the sweet liquor store called Owariya in the early Meiji era, which was located on the south side of the entrance of Yokocho, at the present Kyo confectionery Gyokueido (in front of Futaba's name).

Yokocho at that time was located on the south side, and it was said that the road width was narrow.

The land readjustment after the Great Kanto Earthquake has become the current width, and the name is also known as "amazake Yokocho".

The origin of amazake itself dates back to the Kofun period, and in Chronicles of Japan, there is a description of Amanotamuzake, the origin of amazake.

・・・ It's quite desensible, but in short it's an ancient Japanese drink.

amazake contains enough nutrients to be called 'drink'. It's a nutrient to drink. It seems that there was an image of a hot drink in winter, but the effects of summer batter measures, fatigue recovery, and beauty have been recognized for a long time. It has been attracting attention in recent years, but in Haiku it is a seasonal word for summer (July). In the past, amazake's peddling was common in summer.

In amazake, there are amazake made from sake cake and amazake made from rice koji. Be careful if you are not good at alcohol because amazake liquor contains alcohol. On the other hand, rice koji amazake is made by fermenting koji, and sweetness comes out at the fermentation stage, so no sugar is used, of course, non-alcoholic.

Tofu's amazake is amazake, an original brand of amazake Yokocho, and amazake made of koji from the United States, which is now attracting attention.

I asked the wife of the shop. "Our amazake is ordering production from the Izu factory. Some are made from Shiga rice, ancient rice and brown rice (top). "

This is the person who drinks amazake's food repo. I had "Amazake (cup) that can be drunk right away".

"I was able to feel the true sweetness of rice and the sweetness of nature."

　

Next is soy milk donut.

　

It seems that they use fresh soy milk made first in the morning. A healthy snack. It's popular because it's not too sweet.

Finally, the wife of the shop talks about the customer.

"It's a cycling tour, some people come by every day. I hear it's an energy charge here. ・・ ・ A foreign woman who came every day for three days while staying at a nearby hotel to eat jumbo cancer and soy milk donuts. When I talked in English, I was not good at it, vegetarian, and I came to my house because there was nothing I could eat at the hotel due to dietary restrictions. There are some foreign couples who eat at home. amazake explains in English "Farmen Ted Rice (fermented rice, translated directly: fermented rice)", but it seems to pull it once. amazake soft serve ice cream is more popular among foreigners. ・・ ・ And there are some Taiwanese people who visit the "Newcomer" location. "

　

By the way, Mr. HK, a correspondent, gave me an appropriate translation of "amazake a sweet drink made from fermented rice." Thank you, Mr. HK.

There's an exciting battle.

Let's touch on one of the baseball lovers, Shiki Masaoka.

　Shiki is called "baseball" after his childhood name, "Noboru".
I use Masago to make a lot of tanka poetry and haiku that wrote baseball.
You can also enter the baseball hall of fame because of the spread of baseball.

In connection with Shiki and Chuo-ku, there was Tokiwa-kai (school funding support organization).

<Explanation board near Shin-ohashi-dori St., Hamacho 2-chome>

　The former Iyokuni (now Ehime Prefecture) Matsuyama feudal lord Hisamatsu family has a residence in this area.
Tokiwa-kai was set up in the mansion.

　Shiki came to Tokyo from his hometown Matsuyama, and was alleged to the student room of Hisamatsu's residence.

A treasure hunt will be held in the old town name "Ryogoku" (currently Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome).

The period is from July 24 to August 7, 2016.

It is a commemorative event for the completion of street lights, but since the street lights were completed about four years ago, I don't think the street lights were newly completed this year.

When you get a guide with an answer sheet, you can see six hidden places of treasures in photos. This is a mechanism where you can find the answer by searching for a treasure chest and combining the letters inside.

There is "Ryogoku Post Office" at the place where the hints are provided, but this is a post office that retains the remnants of the old town name of Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome was "Ryogoku".

This is the northernmost place to provide, and it seems that you will walk from here to Hamacho Park.

Today, I visited Ningyocho Kusakaya, a rice cracker shop in amazake Yokocho, Ningyocho. There is our owner at the left end of the shop.

Following the previous Yuma Nihonbashi, this is the second location tour of Keigo Higashino's novel and TV drama "Newcomer" and the novel and movie "Kirin no Tsubasa" about five years ago.

Even so, in order, Kusakaya appears in the first episode in both novels and dramas. In the future, I will continue to go around the location without keeping the order.

First of all, I would like to introduce them.

　

Hand-baked rice crackers

That hand-baked rice cracker that appeared in "newcomers" as a rice cracker "Amakara".

Even now, the craftsmen bake each one with all their heart according to the manufacturing method at the time of its founding.

Mikisuke Katsura, the third generation, said that this hand-baked rice cracker was hidden in a safe so that his disciple could not eat it.

The origin of "Okoge" is that Kabuki's 17th generation Kanzaburo Nakamura, was told to burn this hand-baked rice cracker more when he was young.

　

Here, the food repo team in my workplace appeared.

Mr. Ikura. "It's light in a good sense, and it's not too hard. You can eat as many as you like."

Mr. F River. "It's very savory. The taste of soy sauce is irresistible."

Mr. Tsan, 3. "I'm not good at being too hard, but I can do it. The deep taste of soy sauce comes out of the nose. Harmony of rice and soy sauce."

In addition, okoshi, pepper, shrimp, blue seaweed, sesame, demon stick, hare Hisasuke, no raising ... I will see you.

　

There is also a great deal. The sellers are hand-baked assortment (left in the photo on the right), hand-baked and okaki assortment (right in the photo on the right), both are 2,000 yen.

Hand-baked rice crackers can also be wrapped in wrapping paper. I brought it to my husband.

　

Well, this is the secret story of shooting "Newcomer" that I kept you waiting.

From here, the daughter of the shop mainly explained. Unfortunately, we couldn't appear in the photo.

"When did you shoot 'Newcomer'? Other shops had a lot of sets, but we took them at the shop. Before the shooting began, Hiroshi Abe, the leading role, and Etsuko Ichihara, the role of grandma in Amakara, came to see and made preparations in advance. Both of you were very good. Of course, Takashi Kobayashi, the master's role, and Kyo, the daughter's role. However, Mr. Abe is natural. Our shop has a step of about 18 centimeters inside. If you take off your shoes here, your performance will be interrupted. Only when shooting, I pulled the mat so that I could go up all with my feet. After that, when recording other programs on the same TV station in the subsequent broadcast, Mr. Abe came and the other staff took off his shoes and went up, but only Mr. Abe was not on his feet. ・I don't think there was a bad mood."

"For about three months of shooting, there was a shooting here and there in Ningyocho. So even after our shooting is over, the actor staff said, "I'm sorry, please lend me a restroom." It's like that. It feels like a homey town is watching over you. (I agree with you, I love this town. "Rozmari"

"Mr. Higashino in Taiwan, dramas are popular. The books are also sold, and Mr. Abe is also very popular. People in Taiwan, the power of Asia is amazing, even now. The first customer in the morning is Taiwanese. ("Half is from Taiwan in the morning.") 」

"I also took a picture of" Kirin Tsubasa ", but it was only aired where it entered the shop. The rest is cut. Come with three trucks and replace the inside with the props you brought and the shop. I wanted to move every Saturday and Sunday for a month, replacing it with the fine sign of "Amakara". It was a moment."

"My family is a grandmother, dad and me (daughter), as in novels and dramas. But in novels and dramas, there is a scene where grandma gets sick. From others, "Grandma is okay?" That's different from the drama, but ... I was in trouble."

"Mr. Higashino, I came to the interview in advance. I didn't call myself, but I've been asking a lot of questions. In the novel modern era in 2004, about a year after the first episode appeared on the theme of "Daughter of a rice cracker shop", until the second episode began, but I thought I could read it out. One day, Kodansha contacted me that it would be a book, and this is the poster given at that time (upper left). After that, people from different customers are taking pictures from outside the shop. What are these guys? That was Mr. Higashino's novel fan. I want to make a drama immediately after that, I want to shoot ..."

According to Kojien, Yukata [Yukata] stands for "Yukatabira". A single cotton garment (Hitoe) worn in summer, mainly in white background dyed in blue. Summer season language. Yes, it is.

　

The "Yukata Museum" is located near Ningyocho Station. Through the tour, I felt that the feelings of the old people (wearers, creators, sellers) about yukata were transmitted again.

Keisaburo Shimizu, director of the Yukata Museum, explained the exhibition in the museum on the 2nd floor of "ZOME" opposite "Yukataya Sankatsu", and the third son of Kotaro Shimizu, a living national treasure. When Mr. Shimizu joined the company, "Sankatsu dyeing" was synonymous with a high-grade yukata, and I heard that if he gave out elaborate and elaborate patterns, customers recognized the value and paid for it. . Kotaro Shimizu is a craftsman of longitamoto dyeing, and his skill was designated as an important Intangible Cultural Property.

　

It is said that Sankatsu of the company name was the company name of the company, but in connection with the name of the first founder, Hanshi Amano, the main character of Kabuki "Tsuyoyome Mai Kinu" (Hata Onnamaiginu) We also heard about the story of "Hanan Shichi and Sankatsu".

The area where the company building is located is Sakaimachi and Fukiya-cho during the Edo period, and it was an area that existed for about 200 years until Nakamura-za and Ichimura-za were relocated to Asakusa Saruwaka-cho due to the reform of Tempo. On the west side of Ningyocho-dori is an explanation board of the ruins of the play town in Sakaimachi and Fukiya-cho, and on the east side is a Genji store that became a model of the Kabuki "Yonasuke Ukina Yokogushi". There is a monument and an explanatory version of Genyadana. It is also famous for Hachiro Kasuga's "Otomi-san".

　

July 7th is "Yukata Day" every year.
In the "Summary column" of the "Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall List", there is a description of the works of the living national treasure Kotaro Shimizu, the dyeing process of Yukata, dyeing tools, sumo yukata, etc. You need to make a reservation by phone for the tour.
