Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

"Tokyo Marathon EXPO 2015" is an exhibition and sale centered on the Tokyo Marathon runner reception venue, marathon-related products and official goods, and city PR in Tokyo.

This year too, Chuo-ku Tourism Association and a long-established Nihonbashi sold masterpieces.

Yamamoto-noriten's booth when I first visited.

A woman in a kimono greeted me and unintentionally, "Oh!　"Yoko Yamamoto?"

We were greeted by the 31st Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador.•Mr. Shoko Ikeda in the middle of Miss.

Yamamoto-noriten purchased his favorite seasoned laver because he offered a zodiac picture plate every year at Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods. Both green onion miso flavor and salmon flavor match with beer snack.

At the booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Shoko Ikeda joined the two men who were watching, and they stored in the photo with Skanda at Daikanonji Temple in the background.

 There was a hand towel and nocturnal list band designed with "Skanda" that would benefit the runner. Both are exhibited from Daikanonji Temple in Ningyocho.

I bought one to wrap it around my bag, rather than to wear it on my arm.

From "Ninben", I purchased a base for cooked rice with clams.

It's 500 for two, so I bought four. I ate it right away, but it was delicious that the cheeks fell. Click here for today's shopping!

Yes, "Ninben" gave me a present containing a bonito dashi pack. Thank you! The design and color of the list band at the bottom is also good.

"Muromachi Sandbox" is a well-known long-established store in Soba-dori in 1869, but this time we will introduce the sweet "Soba Zenzai". I didn't have a chance while thinking "once of the time."

It was a pleasant guide after the peak of noon, saying, "That seat is warmer." My friend is two "Mori", and I am a seasonal "Ara soba" (market price). I'm a little bit surprised at the "market price", but I'm a little hungry, "Is it okay because it's not a sushi restaurant?" After flattening it, it's finally "Soba Zenzai". I was a little surprised to imagine that "soba is in the soup flour"! If you take a bite of hot dry bean paste and soba, unlike the appearance, it will be surprisingly compatible. "Yes, there are soba buns, and the combination of soba and bean paste is not particularly unusual," he said. This is also complete in no time. I'm going to be a little shy.

Try the suspicious direction, "Is it sweet at a soba shop?" Those who are worried about the "market value" of "Ara soba" are now.

This is also a famous match in February.

I would like to introduce you again when you have accumulated a lot in the 12th month.

A lecture entitled "Manyoshu and Kanji" was held at Nara Mahorobakan, located opposite the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building, facing Chuo-dori, Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome.

Lecturer is Shin Oyama, Associate Professor, Faculty of Letters, Nara Women's University.

The time was about an hour and a half, but the teacher's story was very interesting, and when there was no hiragana or katakana, how to express "Yamato Kotoba no Uta" using only foreign characters called "Kanji" It was a lecture that impressed me about the ingenuity and wisdom of our predecessors, and our ancestors were really great.

This course is the first and the second and third sessions, with the theme of "Tradition of Buddhism," "Naoya Shiga," and "Minamoto no Yoshitsune," which are related to Nara.

I think it's a good course to get intellectual stimulation, so if you are interested, please apply by all means.

Anyone can participate on a first-come, first-served basis by applying from a postcard, fax, or Nara Mahorobakan website.

On the day, at the exhibition corner on the first floor, costumes from the Tenpyo era were displayed.

In addition, the photo below shows the popular products of the hotel, "Kaki weather" (left) and "Dried persimmon jelly". "Kaki weather" is a dried fruit that slices the sweet persimmon Fuyu persimmon, and the more you chew, the more sweet it becomes. "Dried persimmon jelly" also has a condensed original taste of persimmons, both of which are healthy Nara Is a famous persimmon production area.

"Nara ni persimmon" came to mind immediately.　When the bell rings, Horyuji Temple (Shiki)

Shiki wrote such a phrase that seems to have liked big persimmons.

At the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store,

KYO-MONO is COOL! Project

"Chooguchi (present) for Valentine's Day and toast with sake on White Day!" Campaign

　Date: February 11-14

　Venue: 3F Corridor Space

In order to reconsider the splendor of Kyoto's traditional industries and contribute to the promotion of understanding of Japanese culture by spreading the custom of toasting with sake (sake), Kyoto City implemented the first "Cheers Ordinance" in 2013 (Ordinance on Promoting the Spread of Kyoto City Sake).

The KYO-MONO is COOL! Project supports the purpose of this ordinance and aims to excite the traditional industry of Kyoto with young people. The Kyoto Traditional Industry Youth Association and the Kyoto Ceramic Youth Association became the secretariat, and the Fushimi Sake Brewery Association and the Kyoto Sake Brewery Association were established last year.

"On Valentine's Day, why don't you give Kyoto's traditional industrial products (Kyomono) such as My Inoguchi of Kyo-yaki and Shimizu-yaki, Nishijin Ori, and Kyo-Yuzen dyeing Inoguchi-in!

Let's have a toast with sake in return on White Day!

Find the perfect boar for you and the perfect boar bag for Inoguchi! ]

And appeal.

1,000 Inoguchi made by craftsmen are collected.

You can also taste Fushimi's famous brewing, Tama no Hikari, Matsu no Midori, and Toyoshuku Junmai daiginjo.

The bridge that appears in the novel "When the curtain of prayer goes down" is introduced in the order of the month written on the calendar in the novel, but this time around "Tokiwa Bridge" written on the calendar in April It is an introduction.

As you know, there are three bridges with the name "Tokiwa".

First of all, "Shin Tokiwa Bridge" connects Nihonbashi Motoishi-cho in Chuo-ku with Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku.

The soba shop "Muromachi Sandbox" located in Muromachi 4-chome, which goes a little from Shin-Tokiwa Bridge to Kanda, is the birthplace of Tenzaru.

Also, on the Chiyoda-ku side, the JR railway bridge spans the Nihonbashi River, and the railway bridge is marked with the emblem of Japan National Railways.

Next is "Jobanbashi". It is always written as "Iwan" instead of "board", but Tokiwa seems to have been taken from "Kanaba Wakashu", but there seems to be a story that the word stone was applied so that it did not break like a plate . It is currently under construction.

"Jobanbashi" was made of stone during the Meiji era, but the stone wall depicted in the picture above is the stone wall of the Masugata Tokiwa Bridge Gomon at the outer gate of Edo Castle heading toward Asakusa.

And it is the third "Tokiwa Bridge".

It is thought that this Tokiwa Bridge will appear in the novel.
