The main building hall is decorated with a height of 15m and one of the largest xmasChristmas trees in Japan.

Using green power, not using real wood,flair 25,000 illuminations use LED bulbs with low power consumption.

In the Nihonbashi area, the "ECOEDO Nihonbashi Green Project" is also being held.

Companies, department stores, and shops in Nihonbashi are actively engaged in "ECO."

There are only a few more days, but I hope many people can enjoy it together!

Kitty's laver chips ★Nori Yamamoto

[Mapo ★] December 21, 2009 09:00

I got it from a friend because I like Kitty.

Yamamoto Norinori seaweed chips and boxes are cute ~ (* ^^ *)
I'm writing seaweed chips in English.
The cans are also cute, and I feel like Nihonbashi Kitty (laughs).

RIMG2208.JPG RIMG2205.JPG

Yamamoto Nori is an image of "a long-established gift-"
It was a little surprising that there was such a cute seaweed.

Nori chips are ume, brown rice, sesame, wasabi sesame
It seems that there are four types, but I got plum and wasabi sesame.
It was the most nice combination.

 Wasabi is a little crispy and delicious~ (* ^^ *)
It is thin and easy to eat, and the grains of wasabi and plum are exquisite.
While watching TV, my husband and wife lost their wasabi sesame in an instant (laughs).
I ate the plums a little more slowly.

There aren't many people who don't like seaweed.
Nori chips in such a cute can seem to be pleased by everyone.

By the way, Yamamoto-noriten has a head office in Nihonbashi Muromachi.
There seems to be a musubi shop called "Maruume,"
I'd like to try rice balls there next time♪

[ww] December 21, 2009 09:00

The cold winter has come, but you can still enjoy autumn.

icyo02.jpg

Ginkgo, which colors late autumn, is nearing the end of the Nihonbashi area.

The row of trees on Showa-dori still leaves a lot of leaves.

The triangular pyramid shape, which is colored entirely yellow, can be seen through light.

It looks like an illuminated Christmas tree.

Enjoy the feeling of fallen leaves at your feet and enjoy the passing season.

Why don't you feel it? (ww)

Yabu Izu Saturday Yoseki

[Satsuki Yanagi] December 9, 2009 08:45

Long-established soba noodles: Yabu Izu Sohonten (Nihonbashi), a direct line of Yabusoba in Kandasudacho, holds the Yabu Izu Saturday Yoseki once a month.

I visited for the first time the other day.

yabu2.jpgThere are climbers lined up in front of the shop, giving you a sense of excitement.

yabu1.jpgPass through the heavy outer gate ...

yabu13.jpg"Yabu Izu" strikes buckwheat flour ground with a stone mill twice a day in the morning and evening.

Before the vaudeville, I decided to have a soba at the second floor seat, saying, "I'm a little hungry ... yabu110.jpg yabu12.jpg

Cold soba, warm soba, soba using seasonal items ... There are various things and all look delicious.note

Sanzan-san's lost phrase ... I had lunch with Seiro lunch bleah 

yabu9.jpgIt is 2 pieces of Seiro, 1 shrimp tempura, 2 pieces of "Kago Kiyo", homemade egg grill, boiled sprouts & trefoils, condiments.

The fact that buckwheat miso is attached to the photo is ... A companion said, "On a day off, when the day is a little high, I can't say that I have a cup at a soba shop."heart04 Because I asked for alcohol ...?

yabu8.jpg

Both of them have the same "Seiro Lunch", but for the first time, they gave me something other than Seiro so that I could enjoy it as "tidbits", and when I run out of alcohol, I servedshine the soba soup again, it was a soba hot water, slightly sweet and delicious!

yabu7.jpg I was very satisfied with the taste of the bush-like crisp soup, thin and fragrant soba, sweet shrimp heaven, and egg-yaki with the taste of Edo-mae soup.

After this, I thought that I would enjoy rakugo, and I felt very rich that people from the Edo period felt like this!

The appearance of "Yabu Izu Saturday Yoseki" and the name of "Kazaguruma no Kai" is Suzusha Fusha and Sanyutei Nuo. The storyteller's photo should have a problem with portrait rights, so I took it around Koza. Kido coin: It's ¥1700.

yabu3.jpg

yabu4.jpgThe performances were windmills "Shirimochi", Nuku (which was included in the plan as "fun on the day") "Fudobo", and windmills "well bowls" after a break.

I've heard about other storytellers several times, such as "well teacups", but windmills refer to the tea bowl appraiser "Nakajima" (an antique expert who is also active on TV ) And included the current essence, so I enjoyed it very much!

Both of them were very energetic, and with a sweating performance, they laughed without worrying about the wrinkles at the bottom of their eyes.happy01

The next time is January 16th. yabu5.jpg

And at Yabu Izu Sohonten, Yanagiya Hanaen's "Rakugo and Soba no Kai" is also held in odd months, andflair this is said to have soba kaiseki.

For more information, please contact Yabu Izu Sohonten.

Toto norenkai (100 years from Edo to Tokyo's 3rd generation) Shigeru Kami 

[Yurikamome] December 8, 2009 09:30

Do you all know the Toto Goodwill Association?

Founded in the early Meiji era from Edo to Tokyo, 53 stores are members of a long-established gathering that has been held by the family for more than 100 years. 

Soba, eel, dumpling, Tsukudani, amazake, kimono, tabi, glasses, toothpicks, etc. ...

Most of the 53 stores of the Toto Goodwill Association were said to be a downtown area during the Edo period, and were born in the busiest place under the castle. Of these, 27 stores are located in Chuo-ku.

There are many famous places and historic sites near the head office of these stores, and there are many stores that will make you want to stop by if you go around with a map of "Chuo-ku Cultural Properties Tour".

I visited Shigeru Kami of Nihonbashi Muromachi and talked to Taku Inoue, Representative Director.

Shigeru Kami also belongs to the Toto Goodwill Association. 

I listened to the story while showing old documents and past books.

In 1596, Ieyasu Tokugawa opened a fish market in Nihonbashi, and the Muromachi area flourished as a fish shore.

It seems that fish to be delivered to the Shogunate were collected in three places.

Nihonbashi was an important place to keep the kitchens of samurai and townspeople, but it was bustling for more than 300 years before it was relocated to Tsukiji due to the damage of the Great Kanto Earthquake.

When Mr. Taku Inoue was a child, one of the "Juken stores" listed in the "Kanei era Edo map" in Nihonbashi Muromachi was left.

There is a observation deck on the roof of the Mitsukoshi Main Store, which seems to be good far away.

At that time, there were many two-story houses, and there were greengrocers fish shop and bathhouses.

 

The area around Nihonbashi Muromachi today was home to many masonry people to create Edo Castle as "Honodawara Town".

"Yes" ... to offer            "Daifuku Book" ... Money Book 

"Shiodome" ... A place where the canal is intricate     "Oiwake" ... A place where the road is divided into two

"Tsukiji" ... Reclaimed land (which also remained as the name of the town) 

The expressway on Showa-dori was on the banks of the U.S. 

While learning the above, I received a map of Nihonbashi Fish Market Map (around 1921) and asked various things. 

In addition, we heard about the valuables of some famous shops belonging to the Toto Goodwill Association when it was founded.

 Origin of "Kami Shigeru"

 The founder is Chojiro Kamizakiya and is from Kishu Kanzaki.

When Edo shogunate opened, he went to Edo and engaged in fishing, and founded in 1688 in his current location.

320 years of company history.

Later, he became Saburo Shigeru again, and his owner named Shigeru Daidai Saburo. 

From the Meiji era, he took Kanzakiya's "God" and Shigeru Saburo Shigeru's "Shigeru" and called himself "Kami Shigeru".

 Why was "Halfpen" born?

The fin of the shark, which is a half-pen material, is called "Tawara Three Goods", and was one of the export seafood of Nagasaki Trade during the Edo period and was an important export source of Edo shogunate.

Offshore Shinagawa and Urayasu, there is a fishery under the direct control of the Shogunate called `` Sameba '', and after taking the `` fin '', many sharks were traded at the fish market in Nihonbashi, and Kamabokoya made it using the manufacturing method of shinjo. It is the beginning.

I'm currently ordering it from Kesennuma.

The above is a stylish Edo taste that colors the dining table of the New Year. 

In addition, among the many products as the best taste only for the New Year, two items are available in limited time.

"Extreme Datemaki": Baked using Mogami's guchi and chicken eggs. (Limited to 1,500 bottles)

"Nishiki egg corner" ... It is made by carefully lining carefully selected eggs. (Limited to 1,000 bottles)

"Edo Bus" Usage Guide

[Silver] 09:00 on December 8, 2009

 I got on the community bus "Edo Bus" in Chuo-ku, which started operation on December 1.

We will report information on the use from Chuo-ku government office. There are two kinds of buses.

The north circulation returns from Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, Hamacho, Hakozaki to Chuo-ku government office.

South circulation goes to Tsukiji, St. Luke Hospital, Gunshoshima, Tsukuda, Harumi Wharf, and around St. Luke's through Kachidoki.

I will return to Chuo-ku government office via Tsukiji River Park.

It is convenient for round trips to government offices, hospitals, ward centers, etc.

CIMG3513.jpg

The bus is 11 seats and can accommodate about 20 people. The fee is 100 yen. One-day tickets are 300 yen.

First of all, I took the North Circulation. There is an announcement of audio and a display of the next stop.

CIMG3517.jpg

 Get the "Edo Bus" map before boarding and enjoy it.

You should get a transfer ticket when you change trains. With this, you can enjoy the north circulation and south circulation for 100 yen.

If you want to stop on the way, purchase a 300 yen ticket for one day.

CIMG3528.jpg

I got a transit ticket and got on the south circulation.

CIMG3529.jpg

 The name of the bus stop is often given a place name and center name, so it is easy to understand.

On the map, you will find the number of bus stops for each course. You're kind.

CIMG3534.jpg

 I was wondering if I would get off here, but I wanted to see the autumn leaves on the premises of St. Luke's College of Nursing, so I went around.

CIMG3535.jpg

 "Edo Bus" is convenient and fun. Let's enjoy the "Marugoto Museum" Chuo-ku.
