Masukawa Lorance's shop Let's taste French home cooking that originated in Montmartre at Ningyocho! French cafe "Che Andre de Sacrekur"

[Sakura is good] May 24, 2017 09:00

Opened in 2008, "Café Chez André du Sacré-Coeur Cafeche Andre de Sacrequeur"

Business hours 11:00 to 20:30 (LO.20:00)  Regular holiday No. 1.3/Sun/Holiday Nihonbashi Ningyocho 1-8-5 ☎fax03-6228-1053

Grandparents started up as a drink-main cafe in Montmartre, Paris, France, and then parents took over and served meals. The Paris store was closed, but their dream of taking over it was fulfilled by opening Café Andredo Sacrequeur in Ningyocho in 2008. The master Yoshio inherits parents' recipes, mainly home cooking in Paris. It's wonderful to be able to taste Paris home cooking in Ningyocho.

 

Mr. Lorans was born in Montmartre, France. Since I was in Paris, I love Japanese culture, studied Japanese, studied in the United States, and came to Japan for the first time as an international student (graduate school) in 1989. After graduating, while working for a foreign-affiliated company in Nihonbashi, he went to a long-established soba shop "Ningyocho Shochiku-an", and in 1999 he married Yoshio, the son of the owner, after a great love. I have been living in Japan for 29 years. I'm very good at Japanese.

 

The home cooking menu that inherits the thoughts of Lorance's parents and values the taste of Maman in Paris is popular. During lunch and dinner time, the menu changes daily, so you can enjoy the daily menu and be excited. Sweets for tea time are also recommended.

 

Today, I would like to introduce Kish and gratin. Kish has a fluffy texture like an omelet wrapped in pie dough. Gratin is a taste of meat sauce full of vegetables, mashed potatoes and cheese. Every time you carry a spoon, the mellow taste spreads in your mouth richly.

 

Lunch set comes with an alternative French bread and soup. The soup cup is wonderful. When I asked Mr. Lorance, the knife fork was made in France. I thought that cups were also made in France, so I procured them in Japan. He says he uses his grandmother's handmade coaster at the shop carefully. My heart has warmed up.

I would like everyone to enjoy delicious food at a cafe with a cozy atmosphere, healed by the smiles of Mr. Rolands and the staff while feeling sincere hospitality.

A great cheer for naughty sumo

[Shitamachi Tom] May 22, 2017 14:00

Wanpaku Sumo 2017 (2)_R.jpg On May 21, the annual "Wanpaku Sumo Chuo-ku Tournament" was held at [Chuo-ku Sports Center] in Hamacho.

 

 On a pleasant sunny day, many little wrestlers and their families who participated in the morning rushed to Hamacho Park, where the venue was located. In Chuo-ku, population growth is continuing, but the number of children seems to be increasing or more lively than usual. .

Wanpaku Sumo 2017 (5)_R.jpg At the venue, efforts will be made one after another by gender and grade. The operation is being carried out by the JC members while paying attention to safety. In addition, volunteers who participated from each area in the city are focusing on referees, venue arrangement, and guidance of players. . I also supported the children's enthusiasm with little effort.

 

Wanpaku Sumo 2017 (3)_R.jpg Some children win and show their guts pose proudly, while others lose and mourn and tears. Each of them will be a valuable experience, and one day will be a nostalgic memory.

 

 In Chuo-ku, various sports and cultural events are held somewhere every month. You can see the current appearance of this town, so be sure to go out while walking around the town. I think it will also be an exchange with many people. Enjoy the lively scenery of Chuo-ku.

Well. May 14th (Sun).

It's raining somehow.

You don't have to wear a raincoat today!

Azuki, a daughter wearing a short coat following yesterday.

MAH00351(1)-1.jpg

Today, I am satisfied with hitting the drums of the floats before the start.

DSC_1119-1.jpg

My older brothers and sisters were also playing happily.


And 10 o'clock. Departure!

20170514100750(1)-1.jpg

Children portable shrine is full of energy!

20170514100750(2)-1.jpg

It's because it's after the rain.

I felt that there were more children participating in the floats than yesterday.

20170514100750(3)-1.jpg

I walked longer than yesterday, when it was raining.

Do you have any memories of yesterday? One year old, I did my best.

My mother held the rope together yesterday, and she was

Today I was able to hold the rope by myself and walk by myself.

Everything leads to experience and growth.

And yesterday they were children wearing raincoats.

Today, everyone is wearing a matching half-wearing.

After all, it's good. This scenery.

And after having lunch, before Meijiza.

"Nihonbashi Five Club District" to which the Hamasan Eastern Town Association also belongs.

There is a Union carrying of miniature shrines.

10 town councils and 9 portable shrines are lined up and are spectacular.

Of course, portable shrine of our Hamasan Eastern Town Association also appears!

20170514124352(1)-1.jpg

There are many people and it's very crowded! That's why Azuki sees on his dad's shoulder.

I was surprised, but the sound of drums and the gorgeousness of portable shrine.

It seemed to be nailed to a smaller one.

MAH00357(1)-1.jpg


After that, Azuki played in Hamacho Park in half-wearing.

DSC_1125-1.jpg

Not only azuki, but also children playing in festival costumes.

There were a lot in the park.


There will be a festival of this scale two years later.

At that time, Azuki was a young child in kindergarten.

What kind of child do you have?

I wish I could join with more friends next time.

I'll be even more fun.

It was late afternoon Sunday when I was thinking about such things.

※In writing the article, to the chairman of the Hamasan Tobu Town Association and other officers.

 Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

 We look forward to seeing you in the future.

Series: 1 year old, first Kanda festival! ③On a rainy Saturday, imperial procession Town and Shinko Festival

Well, May 13th (Sat).

Finally the highlight of Kanda festival

The day when the "Kamiko Festival", a festival procession of Kanda Myojin, is held.

Even at Hamasan Eastern Town Association where I live

It's the day when the adult portable shrine, Children's portable shrine and floats come out.

Unfortunately, the weather is nice.

When I went to borrow a half-wearing for my daughter Azuki the day before

I heard that children sometimes didn't do it if the rain was too bad.

I was a little worried.

It was still in the morning.

Azuki, who was preparing in a half-wearing from morning

DSC_1113-1.jpg

Wear a raincoat on top of it and head to the meeting place.

※It looks great! It is probably secret that there is a stupid who took a picture.

Children's floats are on standby at the meeting place.

DSC_1115-1.jpg

It is decorated with wisteria flowers and is gorgeous!

With the child portable shrine

DSC_1116-1.jpg

Adult portable shrine is on standby now.

DSC_1118-1.jpg


And 11:00 a.m. It's finally time to start!

MVI_2689(1)-1.jpg

I went around in a shortened version, but surprisingly I was impressed that even a one-year-old child would walk.

My mother was frightened to start running in a ridiculous direction.

It may be because there are older brothers and older sisters around them.

He was walking hard with a rope with his small hands.

And even after I got a snack souvenir and went home

"I'm going to do it."

Azuki recreated the sound of the drums of the floats.

You may have liked it very much.

Actually, there were times when I departed at 13 o'clock.

It's getting worse and worse, so it's closed.

Instead, my mother had something I really wanted to see.

I've got rid of it.

It is the festival procession "Kamiko Festival" of Kanda Myojin.

Depart from Kanda Myojin at 8:20 in the morning until returning to 19:00

Gods ride on the splendid portable shrine all over the shrine parishioner area.

Because it will come close to my home

I want to see it at a glance.

Just before 3 p.m., the point of the course is standby.

Even in the town council, for God

IMG_2690-1.jpg

They serve sake and rice cakes and welcome you.


And finally the arrival of the line!

MVI_2692(3)-1.jpgMVI_2692(2)-1.jpg

It's gorgeous and sparkle.

It was a very nice line with portable shrine.

If it hadn't rained, the costume would surely have been well seen.

Because of this weather, everyone is from the top of the raincoat. I'm sorry.

Let's look forward to 2 years later.


And if it is true, I leave Arima Elementary School near 15:00.

There was also a glamorous procession called "Appendix Festival"

In the rain, it's a good idea to pull the hand of azuki with an umbrella holding and go to see it.

Abandoned thinking that it would be tough if it was more than that.

I'm looking forward to it again! I'm thinking about it.

Apply for a half-wearing rental of the Neighborhood Association.

I was getting a little festive feeling.

If you do so, you can see the state of the city becoming "festival specifications".

Sunday, May 7 A week before Kanda festival.

DSC_1097-1.jpg

On the street is a yellow flag with the word "Honsai Kanda festival."

DSC_1098-1.jpg

The banner of "Kanda Myojin Festival" is also at Ohiro Shrine in the town.

DSC_1096-1.jpg

I feel that the names of the donors have also increased.


May 9 (Tuesday). If you were walking around Ningyocho for errands.

DSC_1100-1.jpg

・・'All the World Flag!

But that's also a lively atmosphere.


And finally, May 12th (Fri).

The next day is the day when the festival procession "Shinko Festival" is also held.

Hamacho Park, which always brings her daughter Azuki.

DSC_1108-1.jpg

It is decorated by the neighborhood association next door.

And...

DSC_1111-1.jpg

I've borrowed my daughter Azuki's half-wearing and obi!

The size (including 90 cm) is also supposed to be written at the time of application.

The size is also perfect.

And they were distributed to all the children

A guard tag lowered from your neck.

It's a bit nice to have this.

This is the perfect preparation for the next day! That's right.


That's right. Speaking of preparation.

This is the most useful thing to enjoy the first Kanda festival.

This is the free paper "Nihonbashi Goyomi".

IMG_2694-1.jpg

The May issue is a special feature of Kanda festival.

Explanation of terms and descriptions that can be understood by people for the first time.

The state of the previous festival

And the route of the festival procession

A map with the approximate scheduled passage time was also posted.

It was very easy to see and understand!

If you have this, how long and where to go?

It's easy to set up a schedule.

As a matter of fact, my husband grew up in an area that has nothing to do with festivals.

I couldn't imagine the festival at all.

So, in this special feature, "It's such a great thing!"

I was surprised at the scale and glamorousness.

http://www.nihonbashi-tokyo.jp/enjoy/feature/201705/


"Nihonbashi Goyomi" has many interesting articles every month other than Kanda festival.

 It's a good reading.

 And the publisher "Machi Nihonbashi" site is also recommended with plenty of information.
