We all enjoyed Takarada Ebisu Shrine Bettara City! (City Tour 10)

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] October 24, 2015 09:00

On the evening of 10/20 (Tuesday) on weekdays, we enjoyed "Bettara City" together with the guidance at the Jushi Cafe held by the collaboration station Chuo.

   

The Takarada Ebisu Shrine in Temmacho is the center of Edo development.

"Bettara City" continues as a city lined with offering fish and vegetables for "Ebisu-ko", and is now a traditional downtown festival with nearly 500 stalls. 

There was also a new movement, and curry watermelon and eel skewers were very delicious at the Bettara Regional Promotion Association.

 

The name of "Bettara City" is that young people use Asazuke radish (Bettara) to congestion and call the pilgrimage women "Bettarada, Bettada", and put them on the sleeves of kimono. It is said that it became the name of Bettara because of the fun of the women.

 
Here, long-established stores and large and small trading companies line up the eaves, praying for business prosperity and safety in the house, and are working hard. From 5 o'clock in the evening, nostalgic Bon Odori songs and the dance circle of local people were spreading.

 

1) At first, the main deity of Takarada Ebisu Shrine was moved to Temmacho, where he was evacuated to build Edo Castle.
I worshiped in front of you (this Ebisu was worshiped by Ieyasu Tokugawa and was restored once with the work of Unkei).
2) Thank you for the "Betta-" circle of Atomi Women's University and the cooking recipe.
3) As the first float at the Odenmacho 1-chome Neighborhood Association drop-off, Kanda Festival, and Sanno Festival, the flag of Isako chicken here in Otemmacho is here.
It was displayed at the entrance. Thank you very much for taking a break with tidbits/Betta pickling.

In the hot air mumbun, I bought a red turnip "Bedarazuke" and arrived on my way home, hope next year will be a good year.

[Kra-san] October 21, 2015 12:00

The Nihonbashi Honmachi area prospered as a drug wholesale district that began in the Edo period, and many pharmaceutical companies are still gathering today. On October 16 (Fri), the "Yaku ancestor patron Festival" was held in Nihonbashi Honmachi.

The Yaku ancestor patron Festival originated in 1908 (Meiji 41) when the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Trade and Commerce Association (now the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Association) welcomed the spirit of the god of medicine from Gojo Ten Shrine (Taito Ward) and started in 1929 (Showa 4), and the scale of the festival wasancestor patron. In 1954, a shrine hall was built on the roof of the newly completed Showa Yakugaku Building in 1983, and the festival was inherited.

At 13:30, a ceremony was held at Yaku ancestor patron on the roof of the Showa Yaku Trade Building, attended by members of the supporting members. After that, general worship was held from 15:30 to 18:30, and a long line of worshipers was formed in front of the Showa Yaku Trade Building. It is said that "Shinko", a lucky decoration, will be distributed to all members, and "votive lanterns" with the name of the member are arranged and lit. On the street of the Showa Yaku Trade Building, a special stall was set up, and the sound of the flute and drums of "Obayashi" was excited by the festival.

Ningyocho Shrine

[Minori] October 17, 2015 18:00

Hello, this is Minori.

 

This is the story of a shrine in Ningyocho.

Ningyocho is the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods.

There are Koami Shrine (Fukurokuju, Benzaiten), Chanogi Shrine (Fukuro-son), Suitengu (Benzaiten), Matsushima Shrine (Daikokujin), Suehiro Shrine (Vaisravana), Kasama Inari Shrine Tokyo Bessha (Shoujin), Sugimori Shrine (Ebisu God).

If you add Takarada Ebisu Shrine (Ebisu God) to this, it is popular for business prosperity because there are two Ebisu Gods in the eight shrines.

 

In connection with this, there will be Bettara City, which will be held on Monday, October 19 and 20 (Tue), mainly at Takarada Ebisu Shrine.

Bettazuke is a shallow salted radish pickled on a rice koji floor.

It is interesting to avoid those who have a malt so that they don't get koji when they take it home.

Some people who tried to put it on purpose appeared, and the shop also made a musical accompaniment saying, "Betara, Betara."

It seems that the city on the day before Ebisu-ko came to be called "Betara-shi".

 

It is said that the 15th Shogun Yoshinobu Tokugawa also liked to eat it.

  

[Koami Shrine (Fukurokuju, Benzaiten)]

~ Doburoku Festival at Koami Shrine~

This event is derived from Niiname-no-Matsuri, which appreciates the good harvest of new grains, and is served free of charge until evening after being offered to God.

At 0:00 p.m., a festival will be held in shrine hall, and at 0:30 a.m. "Sato Kagura Dance", designated as an important national Intangible Cultural Property, will be dedicated. Mimizuku Shitamachi, famous as a talisman for protection against misfortune, will also be awarded (paid).

Date and time: November 28 (27th for Saturday, 29th for Sunday, 29th)

    ※This year, November twenty-eighth is Saturday.

Location: Koami Shrine

 

[Chanogi Shrine (Hobukuro-son)]

In this area, the Nakayashiki of the Hotta family of the Sakura Domain in Shimousa (now Sakura, Chiba Prefecture), was enshrined as the guardian angel.

The tea tree planted around the shrine is said to be the origin of the name.

It is said to be the god of Hibushi because no fire has occurred not only in the mansion but also in the town for many years.

 

The Hotta family has been changed from Dewa Yamagata to 110,000 stones from the Sakura clan since 1761 (1761).

Fire extinguishing includes town fire extinguishing, regular fire extinguisher, and daimyo fire extinguisher, which are said to be Edo San fire extinguisher.

Among them, the defense of the Shimousa Sakura Domain is Edo Castle Nishinomaru.

R0035617RSG.jpgR0035587RRSS.jpg In front of you is the Nihonbashi River.

You can enjoy "Nihonbashi Beer" on the open terrace on the riverside.

In the old days, the starting point of Gokaido, the center of Japan, the symbol of the prosperity of Edo, and the side of Nihonbashi, which opened in June 2008, the Japanese dining & bar "Nihonbashi Ichinoichi (Nihonbashi 1-chome No. 1)" (Kokubu Building 1F).

It has a stylish interior and consists of a dining, bar, and terrace area, and can be used for various scenes.

Business hours

Lunch 11:00-14:00

Dinner from 17:00 to 23:30

Happy hour from 16:00 to 19:00 (15:00 to 19:00 on Saturdays and Sundays): Drink ALL ¥300

(However, Nihonbashi Beer is excluded)

The brewery of "Nihonbashi Beer" is Hoppy Beverage.

Lower fermented beer with live yeast, fragrant sweetness of wheat and bitterness of fresh hops.

It has a mild and refreshing taste.

Originally, it is heard that it was born as a PB product of Kokubun, a long-established food and liquor wholesaler in Nihonbashi, renting the name of the head office location and raising it as a leading beer in Tokyo, but it has been attracting attention in recent gourmet scenes There is also a movement of craft beer, which seems to be increasing attention.

The evening time when you spend a refreshing breeze is exceptional, but you can't miss the glittering view of Nihonbashi lit up at night.
