Wood shop → Nihonbashi Kaishin → I accompanied you on a course around Yamamoto-noriten.

(Part 2) is the blog post of the visit to Nihonbashi Kaishin.

Nihonbashi Kaishin is the birthplace of Ise Kuwana.

It's been 120 years since I came to Edo.

　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　Japanese shop curtain's picture is wonderful...

　　　　I think so every time I ask.

　　The rear side of the store is a factory.

　　He cooked the shell by hand at a room temperature of around 40 ° C.

　　Half, I received 1 and 2 finished shallow jig.

　　I felt it was "light taste" for some reason even though it should have a dark taste. It was really delicious.

　　It seemed that the sincerity of the craftsman was deepening the taste.

　

 Various kinds of Tsukudani were lined up in the shop.

All the participants received "Koami" Tsukudani as a souvenir.

Also, only at this time, all tour participants were offered a 2 discount for special-priced products.

I bought 5 kinds of "Tarako" and "Ko pillar red plum boiled" in addition to ￥1000.

These two dishes (Tarako / Koshira Koume-ni) are my favorite Tsukudani that I always buy.

Wednesday, July 27 Nihonbashi Long-established Course 2 of the “Town Walking” tour industry course was held.

Wood shop → Yamamoto-noriten → I went around Nihonbashi Kaishin.

(Part 1) Then I would like to introduce "Nihonbashi Kiya".  

　　　　　　　

　Until around the fall of last year, it was on the opposite side of the Mitsukoshi Main Store across Chuo-dori, but it entered the first floor of "Cored Muromachi" and was opposite to the Mitsui Main Building.

Metro Link (free) In front of "Nihonbashimurocho 1-chome" bus stop is "Kiya".　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　

Kidai Shoran ... A wonderful view of the brilliant era

At that time, four wooden shops were lined up, including Kiya Kochichichi (head office), which is under contract at that time. 

Japanese shop curtain, the rightmost wooden shop, is exactly the same as the trademark used in today's knives wooden shop.

It is with the crest of the name of Kiya in the frame of Izutsu. (I wrote a small → in the picture.)

It is a masterpiece with a bird's-eye view of the main street from Imagawa Bridge in Edo to Nihonbashi around 1805 (1805) from the east, and the streets on the west side of the street are drawn with a length of about 12m.

　　　　　　

The origin of the name "Kiya"

Kubei, who was a medicinal merchant of the Toyotomi family as a medicinal merchant, was invited by Ieyasu Tokugawa to his younger brother and went down to Edo to have a store in Honmachi.

It is said that since it was separated from the main store in Osaka, the forest with the last name was divided into two and used as "wood" to be called "kiya".

Founded a knife shop

In April 162792, he was allowed to divide the Japanese shop curtain into the first "Isuke Kato Isuke" who came out of Ise Kuwana and worked hard at the Kiya Main Store.

At that time, carpentry tools were mainly used for knives, but at the end of the Tokugawa period, Western knives began to be imported.　

 

We're on sale until the end of July.

In addition to a number of wonderful kitchen knives and scissors, there were many whetstones, nail polishes, and small items used in the kitchen.

I learned how to sharpen the kitchen knife ... ... The taste of sashimi cut with a well-cut kitchen knife is delicious ...

Also, I often learned that I need to grind my kitchen knife myself.

The handle material is natural wood, and the bow and zelkova are Japanese kitchen knives ...

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Shidandan and ebony are used for Western knives ...

I found a "claw clipper" that cuts very well in the product, but it seems to be a popular product.

It was a very good sharpness without breaking the nails. 

The long-established store in "Cored Muromachi" seems to have a high threshold for us, but it is never such a thing and it is a friendly shop. If you haven't come yet, please visit us once ... it's fun ...

　"Hatsune" in Ningyocho is a sweet shop founded in Tenpo 8 (1837).　

Speaking of the Tenpo era, I have learned about the history of social studies, such as famine, reform of Tempo, etc., but since it was founded more than 170 years ago, it is hot today, so I came here to get cold things here I came. 

 

On the first floor, in addition to soup powder, Isobe roll, fruit anmitsu, matcha ice cream, Kokura cream, honey beans, kuzuri, etc., shaved ice in summer. I remembered that Ginzo also came on a date, such as returning from TCAT. Cheer

 

The second floor starts at 17:00, and you can enjoy okonomiyaki, monja, teppanyaki, etc.

　According to the landlady, the name Hatsune was named from a Kabuki performance, or in the Edo period, sugar was expensive and could not be used for sweetness, and sweet potatoes focused on the sweetness of sweet potatoes. He made and sold sweet potatoes. It seems that "Hatsune" began to sell soup flour after the Meiji era when sugar became popular.

　I thought that this shop has been going on for a long time because it is particular about red beans, the raw material, hospitality to customers, and integrity.　

The business card I received is Hatsune, since 1837 Japanese Traditional Sweets, whose address is 1-15-6 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, access is 100m from Ningyocho Station A2 Exit on the Hibiya Line toward Suitengu Shrine, about 30m from Suitengu Station on the Subway Hanzomon Line. It's very near from TCAT and Royal Park Hotel . Enjoy Japanese Traditional Sweets at Hatsune. Phone: 03-3666-3082

 

 

Please enjoy the traditional sweetness of the downtown area.　Don't miss it !　

 

 

 

　As part of the 100th anniversary of the Nihonbashi Bridge, "ECO EDO Nihonbashi 2011" is being held at Nihonbashi.　As an event among them, "Nihonbashi River Tour, Bridge Tour" by boat is held from July 15 to July 29. The course ： Nihonbashi Pier-Toyomi Bridge-Sumida River-Kiyosu Bridge (Tokyo Sky Tree® distant view)-Eitai Bridge-Kamejima River-Nihonbashi Pier.　The fare is only 500 yen and departs every hour and half from 11:30 to 18:30.　It was fun.　　First of all, from the view of boarding at the dock. 

　The view from the river is different than usual, and you can see such Historic buildings.

The photo shows the Mitsubishi Warehouse Edobashi Warehouse Building in Historic buildings, Tokyo.

Look at buildings such as the Tokyo Stock Exchange, go through Kayabashi and go to Toyomi Bridge. Right in front of the Sumida River

When you go to the Sumida River, you can see Kiyosu Bridge and Tokyo Sky Tree.

****************************************************

◎Correspondent Visit to Shopping Street (19th)◎

A town full of history and culture / Nihonbashi 3-chome Nishimachi-kai and Shopping Street Federation

We interviewed Kiichiro Nonaga, chairman of the Nihonbashi 3-chome Nishimachi Association and Shopping Street Association. The place is the long-established Japanese restaurant "Yukari Nihonbashi". This is the shop where Mr. Nonaga serves as president.

 

Ｑ） How long does the shopping street have?

<Chairman>　This is the third year since the Shopping Street Federation was formed in 2009. However, there are some long-established stores with a history of 400 years since the town of "Edo" was created, such as Mr. Nishikawa, who follows the flow of Omi merchants.

Ｑ） Please tell us the number of shops and what kind of genre there are many shops.

<Chairman> There are about 60 shops. There are many restaurants, but the feature of this shopping street is that there are many art and culture-related shops such as world-famous antique shops and galleries.

Ｑ） Could you tell me the appeal of the shopping street?

<Chairman> I try to create a city that brings the scent of culture to the forefront, taking advantage of the fact that there are many shops related to art and culture, exhibitions are held at Takashimaya, and the Bridgestone Museum is nearby.

As the surrounding redevelopment progresses steadily and high-rise buildings are being constructed one after another, high-rise buildings cannot be built in our area due to the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance. However, on the contrary, I would like to use it as a strength to increase greenery in the city and provide a relaxing space consisting of low-rise buildings.

 

"Yoju-in Street" related to everyone "Sakura-dori St." with beautiful greenery in the city.

Ｑ） Please let us know about the future event.

The 100th anniversary event will be held in October, with Nihonbashi becoming a stone bridge, led by the “Meabashi / Nihonbashi” preservation society. We plan to open a large number of antenna shops and merchandise stores. I hope you will enjoy it while thinking about the history of Nihonbashi, the center of Edo, so please come and visit us!

<Report>

Mr. Nonaga, who answered in a nasty mood like an Edo kid. As expected, I felt that I was raised in Nihonbashi, born in Nihonbashi.

I hope that this shopping street, which values the history and culture of the city, will flourish more and more.

 

 

 

 

Tuesday, July 5 10:00 to 12:00

Nihonbashi Long-established course①

I was led by O umbrella, a correspondent of the tourist association, and visited a long-established Nihonbashi with the tour participants.

"Ninben," → "Eitaro Sohonho" → I went around "Yamamotoyama" in that order.

 

"Ninben,"

When I entered the shop, I breathed through my nose with the soft and gentle scent of bonito (laughs).
There is a familiarity with bonito flakes and mentsuyu, but the inside of the store has a lot of products and tension from the beginning.

I purchased "Ninben" Tsuyu's raw wet oysters. The texture was chewy and the taste of soy sauce was delicious, and it was full.
In addition, hand-rolled bonito introduced on TV was popular, and on this day it was out of stock and could not be purchased. I'm sorry.

"Eitaro Sohonho"

I have been familiar with the candy of "Eitarou Sohonho" since I was a child, and I especially like Umeboshi candy. I had a strong impression of candy.
I learned that "Kintsuba", which fills the stomach of people working on the fish shore of Edo Nihonbashi, began.

I bought a cool mizuyokan and Kuzusakura. It was delicious.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　A candy has a smooth mouthfeel

 

Mr. Yamamoto, Mr.

We were guided to a calm coffee room and received cold water sencha, hojicha (plastic bottle), seaweed crackers, and snack seaweed (2 types).

It was a hot day, so the mellow and refreshing water sencha was soaked.　

Nori rice crackers are luxuriously used, and the rice crackers were hidden by laver.
You want to eat rice crackers while enjoying the flavor of seaweed, so it's unique to Yamamotoyama.

 

Everyone who meets for the first time
Touching the history and taste of the long-established store, the face fell and everyone was having a fun conversation with a smile.

I also enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

I felt even more on this tour that Nihonbashi is a fashionable town and a wonderful town that preserves tradition.

Why don't you join the tour?
