After reading this blog, I will give you the "problem" of "Knowing" from the article "Nihonbashi Goyomi".
Which of the following is the origin of the naming of "YUITO"?　The answer is at the end of this article.
Ａ： A coined word derived from "Yuto", which means Urban Square that connects the capital, people, and time.
Ｂ： It is derived from the English "UNIT", which means group and constituent unit, and the English "UNITED", which means combined and bundled.
Ｃ： A coined word derived from Japanese "You (YU: You) are I (I) and (TO: Together)"

Finally, as for the distribution locations of the Free Paper "Nihonbashi Goyomi", there are Nihonbashi Information Center, Mitsukoshi, Takashimaya, YUITO, COREDO Nihonbashi, etc., but I get it at the entrance of the "Mitsukoshi Main Store New Building" in Nihonbashi and the entrance of the first basement floor that can be entered from the subway of "COREDO Nihonbashi".
By all means, please get this Free Paper "Nihonbashi Goyomi" and use it as a reference when walking around Nihonbashi.

In addition, you can also see the main articles of back issues on the Internet.

Answer to the question: A ("Check Coco!" on the right of page 5 of the first issue) It's on the right side.

Even during the rainy season, the climate is unstable, with midsummer days coming.

At this time, the physical condition tends to be unstable.

On a daily basis, rather, I tend to be biased toward SWEETS (sweets). Let's nourish with proper food! And we went to lunch at a famous Japanese restaurant "Yukari Nihonbashi". 

"Yukari Nihonbashi" has been a purveyor of Imperial Household Agency for three generations.

Currently, Mr. Kimio Nonaga, the third generation who won the 2002 JAPAN CUP, is wearing his skills.

I asked you to make a reservation in advance for [Yukari Gozen], which is limited to 10 meals a day.

[O-through] Under the bright green leaves and flowers of hydrangea that feel the season ... Ome's cold kan

It's [Yukari Gozen]. It comes with rice, fragrant food and red soup.

[Appetizer]: Seasonal ingredients [Ozukuri]: Included (I'm happy with the sea grapes!)        

[Boiled food]: Kagoshima black pork stew [fried food]: Assorted with hand-made shinjo-bababa wrapped fried chicken           

From each preparation ... Everything is carefully hand-worked.

For example, even if it was a shrimp, one of the appetizers, how much was shot in the kitchen knife on the back!

Although it is compact, I think men will be satisfied with both content, number of items and volume.

Finally (my secret fun ...) 

[Desert]: Iced black honey of black beans and kinako!

I fried rice with fried rice (?) The rice puff was crisp and accented.

I was able to have a very fulfilling lunch time.

 I walked a lot in search of the ukiyo-e picture drawn on the shutters of the Nihonbashi district.

Walking along a road that you didn't know about, watching beautifully blooming flowers ... finding a small park ... I had a good time.

I would like to end with this "Part 4", but only the tofu shop "Futaba" was unable to take pictures because Japanese shop curtain was on the picture at any time.

Today is an ukiyo-e that I couldn't see even if I visited the Kyobashi area.

When I talked to the person who was cleaning the shutter that had been up once in the table of "Hotel Kazusaya", he dropped the shutter again.　

Thank you ... thank you ...

The creator, Akiko Fukunaga, was a young person and worked hard in front of the shutter.

I was impressed that it was a wonderful thing, and her feelings were conveyed.

I think that many young people besides Akiko Fukunaga were involved in the production of shutters in Chuo-ku.

I strongly felt the support of young people who protect the history and culture of Edo.

Recently, a Frenchman I knew suddenly came to Japan and suddenly returned to Japan.

"I'm going home tomorrow. Before that, let's have a dejune (lunch) together. "It was just after 18:00 on Saturday the previous day.

Oh, I'd like to give you a little "souvenir" ...

It is a small thing that is not bulky and has nothing to do with the expiration date, etc. (I like Japanese history, culture, and art) It is Saruya's [chip toothpick].

"Saruya," HP: http://www.saruya.co.jp/　

So, I saw the type of product, etc. ... I suddenly crossed my head

"Maybe Sunday may be a regular holiday ..."

As expected, the website also has a regular holiday on Sunday and public holidays.

After I was in trouble, I remembered "Nihonbashi Information Center" underground in Coredo Muromachi! !

There was a line of recommended products from each long-established store in Nihonbashi. 

“Nihonbashi Information Center” website: http://www.nihonbashi-tokyo.jp/information_center/index.html also provides information on products handled.

It was really helpful this time! "I'm glad I opened it!"

There is also a "resting place" at the back of the Nihonbashi Information Center.

Yamamotoyama You can take a break with your tea (¥ 300 ~)! 

(The picture is very difficult to see ... please understand.)

Etc.

After that, a French friend who returned to Japan said, "Recently, I see toothpicks in various countries other than Japan, but it's such a surreal (cool ... cool, ... cool ... ... I've seen it for the first time!　It is made of high-quality materials, is beautifully packaged one by one, and the package (paulownia box) is beautiful.　It's wasteful, and it's displayed on the dining table!"

"Because it's worth it. I will buy it again when I come back, so please use it without worrying. "... The next "souvenir" is also decided without having to worry!

By the way, the other day, I chose a yukata cloth at Chikusen-san and was very satisfied Saturday afternoon.

Similarly, with a tailored yukata and a wonderful obi in hand, with a good mood boss, we like an Edo kid who is already enjoying the dusk in early summer!

However, the soba shop, which has been favored everyday, is closed everywhere. I'm sorry.

I was confused, and decided to head to Isehiro of Kyobashi with the connection of Edo's "Iki". There's a little distance from Chikusen-san, so if you get off at Let's Go! "Kyobashi 1-chome" with a local foot / metro link, the shop is right there. It's a really convenient bus.♪

This is the exterior. If you walk a little, it is close to Yaesu and Ginza, and it is located in Kyobashi, lined with high-rise buildings, creating a nostalgic atmosphere only here.

It was founded in 1921. I feel the history. By the way, it was the year when Takashi Hara was assassinated at Tokyo Station (... don't young people know?) 。

Because it's Saturday night, it's almost full of reservations.

I was asking if it was a counter seat, but it was the best seat to be called "It's Yakitoriya!" in front of the yakiter! (Because there is a glass partition in front of the seat, you don't have to worry about moky in front of your face.)

We had 12 full courses. As the name implies, "Taste the whole bird", you can taste the birds so that the wings are likely to grow after the meal!

Large enough to bake in Bincho charcoal with strong thermal power. It may be perfect for Edo kids who don't like to make a mistake.

6,300 yen, which starts with bamboo sashimi and tastes chicken soup. For those who want to enjoy more casual, lunch is recommended! The full lunch course is 3600 yen with 9 soups. "3-bondon", which is limited to one hour from 13:00, is a great deal for 1,000 yen on a popular thigh meat, dumplings, and bamboo sashimi!

A splendid wood carving sign displayed outside the shop. If you look closely, it is carved to cut off the outside of the letters, and the letter "Isehiro" is raised.

It's the first shopkeeper's commitment to saying, "It's absolutely useless to hollow the name of the shop!" I see, the stubbornness of Edokko is transmitted.

However, why is there no photo of the most important yakitori this time? Before I held my camera, I wanted to eat freshly baked sweets immediately, so I came out!

I think I'm the most Edo kid. It's hard (laughs)
