Enjoy historical walks and gourmet tours with Ginza in Kakigara-cho

[Silver] July 6, 2017 14:00

There was such a notice in the building opposite "Tamahide" in Ningyocho.

 

It is "Kakigaracho Ginza-Ginza Here".

 That's right. Kakigara Ginza was here, wasn't it? There was also an explanation board at the intersection.

 

And it's a nostalgic picture. It is a picture that says, "I hope Yoshicho rather than Father Bridge." This picture has such an explanation.

 

Yoshicho Ningyocho was a town that flourished as the temple town of Suitengu Shrine. At the time of this painting, it was across the Suitengu, Shinohashi to the east and Armor Bridge to the west. It is said that there were stalls lined up on the fair to Kodemmacho in the north, and the Tekomai of Yoshicho Geisha revived the bustle.

 Are you riding a rickshaw with a geisha in Yoshicho and your favorite one? Let's stop the wild evil spirits. Even now, there is a Japanese house and you can see the nostalgic streets of Ningyocho. Why don't you go out to enjoy the warm atmosphere of the downtown area around Ningyocho? At restaurants and restaurants, there are many delicious things, souvenirs such as doll-yaki, luxury rice crackers, and side dishes with the taste of downtown.

 

 

The 25th Oedo wholesaler festival Samba came to the wholesaler

[Silver] July 5, 2017 14:00

On July 2, 2017 (Sun), I went to wholesalers in Nihonbashi-Yokoyama-cho, Chuo-ku, where textile wholesalers are crowded.

"The wholesaler is closed on Sunday!" 。 "If you go to a wholesaler, you won't retail to the general public!"

This day is special. The store opened on Sunday and retailed to the general public. It was also extremely ruined and the restaurant was open.

A samba team called "Alegria" paraded through the wholesale district with splendid costumes and steps. Ole! Ole!

Photos passing by in front of you will be reported in landscape photos because they are very stimulating.

 I hope that the Oedo wholesaler festival, which invited this samba team, will continue and become a fun summer tradition.

Oh, it's a small item, but I didn't forget souvenirs for my family. Everyone, please go out and enjoy the next time (the next time will be held on Sunday, December 3). Click here for the information. http://tonyamatsuri.com/index.htm

 

 

 

 

young sake Signboard

[Asunaro] July 5, 2017 09:00

 
A cedar ball that lets you know that young sake has been made.

The deep blue leaves that have just been hung on the eaves will eventually turn brown.

Wither, this change in color conveys the aging of young sake.

Sugitama began to be used as a landmark since the Edo period.

The Edo kid, who loved the first thing, asked for young sake.

It is now decorated as an interior of lucky items.

Even though the meaning changes, it's a fashionable advertisement.

How about moistening your throat a little after walking around the cedar ball?

Back alley search in Chuo-ku

[Nyan,] July 4, 2017 14:00

 It has become quite famous that Shibuya's scramble intersection looks fresh and cool to travelers from abroad, but when I first heard it, "Eh? What's better at that chased intersection?" I guess there were many people who thought it. At least I was one of them.

 

 When overseas people say, "I want to touch Japanese things because I came to Japan," something that becomes "Japanese-like" may be too blended into our daily lives and it may be difficult to notice on the contrary. However, if you can feel attractive in everyday life, not only the famous shrines and temples, but also the buildings that everyone knows, this is an excellent content for us that you can enjoy without straining.

 

By the way, this time, I would like to approach the "back alley" of Chuo-ku. Just a daily life there. But for some reason, I think it's good to have a nostalgic place, but how does it appear in foreigners (of course, depending on the country)?

 

In addition, the back alley here is a road with "the width of the road that does not face the main street and does not allow cars to enter". Street corners that left a Showa-like atmosphere (facing the car street) are not eligible this time even if they have a taste.

 First of all, "the royal road behind the alley" ... it's a contradictory phrase, but isn't that the position behind the alley in Ningyocho? Great Kannon Terawaki is lined with historical and elegant buildings in narrow alleys where cars cannot enter, and mamachari is placed so as to sew between them. On both sides, potted green is accompanied by Aya. A refined space that seems to have a sense of life and has no trash when you look at your feet. Well, it's too bad. Even on tours that guide foreigners by bicycle, it seemed that many people took this camera.

roji4.jpgroji1.jpg

Next, I will go to Tsukishima. This is Ginza behind the alley! It is a treasure trove behind the alley that makes you want to shout. The living roads on the left and right of Monja Street (Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori), which is famous for monjayaki, create the atmosphere of the back alley as it is. In Chuo-ku, where redevelopment is progressing one after another, the space between buildings is countless, but the number of places that invite nostalgia as a living road is decreasing, but this is already a hangout behind the alley . Let's register in the Red Data Book now.

 Finally, I went to Tsukuda. There are many street corners where cars can be reached, and surprisingly it was difficult to find "behind narrow alleys", but in this neighborhood lined with long-established Tsukudaniya-san, the scent of Showa drifts with the scent of Tsukudani and the scent of Showa. It's the right way to enjoy it to buy Tsukudani as a souvenir in such a space.

 

 

A lot of good things! marche Hamacho (July 2005)

[Edamame] July 3, 2017 14:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


The event "Hamacho marche" was introduced in May.

/archive/2017/04/post-4238.html

It was held again on July 2nd (Sun) and 3rd (Mon)!

Of course, I went with my family.

I'll introduce you!

It's often the case, but first of all, prepare your stomach.

After completing the voting for the metropolitan election, I suddenly lost my stomach (!?) 。

IMG_2816-1.jpg

First of all, if you come here ...

"Ningyocho Steak & Bacon" provided by "Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative"

IMG_2818-1.jpg

Unlike the last time, thick sliced bacon is also on the plate!

The quality of meat is as high and delicious as last time.

(Every time, as expected, Hiyama & Imahan-san.)

The good bacon was also quite good.


And my daughter Azuki's favorite.

At the booth of "Hamacho Shopping Street Federation"

IMG_2815-1.jpg

I'll also have beef stew.

IMG_2817-1.jpg

It's a sweet and thick beef streaks

That's it! There was meat like that, and there was a great deal.

That should be the case.

It's very close to Hamacho Park

It was made by the yakiniku restaurant "Shin Tokyo Yakiniku Yushin".

http://www.yakiniku-asobigokoro.com/

Azuki (2 years old) says, "Because the net is hot, don't touch it."

I want to go if I can understand it properly! I've been thinking for a long time.

We also had lunch, so please come by all means.

・・I'll go! (Simple)


In addition.

IMG_2821-1.jpg

A shopping district organization was launched this June.

To the booth of everyone at "Tomizawa-machi Shopping Street".

IMG_2824-1.jpg

What caught my eye was the word "goldfish split".

What is it? I'd like to ask you

It seems that it is made with large leaves and chili in the water of shochu.

IMG_2820-1.jpg

It looks very summery and cool and beautiful!

I drank a bite ... it was hot!

・・Well, chili pepper, sir.

Wouldn't it be nice to drink it when it gets hotter? I think so.

And he was making a jolly sound on the iron plate

"Special baked Napolitan" is also available.

IMG_2819-1.jpg

It has a calm and calm taste.

"I want to make the city even more exciting with the community."

The feelings of everyone in Tomizawa-machi shopping street.

I'm cheering in the shade!

I hope it will become an even more energetic shopping street!



And the shopping time.

In the list of stores that opened for the first time.

One thing I was worried about.

My name is Tokyo Spice House.

https://www.facebook.com/miraclespicemikity/

IMG_2825-1.jpg

When you stand in front of the shop, the scent of spice rising!

I'd like to sell spices separately.

For beginners of spice like me

IMG_2826-1.jpg

We also have a spice mix set.

What is it? I thought it was

The word "Subji of Pumpkin" set.

IMG_2830-1.jpg

When asked the shop, "What is a subge?"

It's curry without juice.

(To be precise, it is made by steaming.)

It's a bit spicy if I tasted it.

The sweetness of pumpkin is quite mild.

It was an atmosphere of "simmered Indian style pumpkin".

The point when making it is said that "oil is full."

If you use plenty of oil, you won't get burned into the frying pan.

(On the other hand, if it is less, the spices will burn and become bitter.)

You can put the scent of spices into oil.

IMG_2831-1.jpg

Of course, there are some papers that describe how to make them.

If you say, "I have a small child."

Increase the amount of coconut powder

If you reduce the red pepper, it will be more milder.

Thank you for your advice.

IMG_2829-1.jpg

That's why I bought coconut powder together.

In the form of spice, you can customize it as you like.

I felt it was a good thing.

When I try it several times, I want to find my own taste.


IMG_2827-1.jpg

This time, the opening of kitchen wagoncars began.

"Hamacho marche" shows even more excitement.

IMG_2828-1.jpg

The next event will be held on Sunday, October 22 and 23 (Mon).

I'm looking forward to autumn from now on.
