From October 6 to 11, the silent movie screening "Cinema Adventure Darkness and Music 2015" was held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo Film Center (3-7-6 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku).

 

This is a project that has been held every fall for more than 20 years, and this time, from the foreign silent movies held by the center, "Harakiri", which is a movie of the play "Butterfly Women", and Ernst Rubich director The last silent work "Sihihihi", "If you select a new subtitle, select a new subtitle with a "subtitle" and raises" (s" and raises" (s" (s" and raises" (s" and raises" (6 Japanese" (s) "" and "" (s "" (s "" (s) "" If you" (s) "" If you can be screened "" (s) "" (s "stitles) with a "" (s "Japanese with a "" Audititles" Audit

 

I watched "Shidee" from 16:00 on the 11th (Sun)

The story is the familiar "Art Heidelberg" where the Prince of Sachsen goes to Heidelberg and falls in love with the daughter of a boarding house.

In the screening of "with a valve" and "with accompaniment", we enjoyed the story of Benshi (Tosui Sawa) and live music (guitar; Jowich Yuasa, flute; Makiko Suzuki)

I didn't know the days when silent films and dialects were active, so I felt very fresh.

At the end of the movie, a big applause was given to the movies, lawyers, and performers from almost full audiences.

On the first floor of the Yaesu Book Center main store at the south exit of JR Tokyo Station, there was a permanent corner for Disney goods and Star Wars goods.

It seems that it opened on August 29 this year.

 

We have a wide range of lineups, from miscellaneous goods to stationery, such as pottery, bags, and letter sets.

 

It is the first time that a permanent corner for Disney goods and Star Wars goods has been set up in a bookstore store.

A friend from Xi'an who came to Japan for sightseeing decided to return after a two-week private trip. Actually, I wanted to send it to the airport, but I couldn't take a break on weekdays, so I decided to see it off at the bus stop bound for Narita Airport near Tokyo Station.

There are trains (Narita Express, Keisei Skyliner) and airport buses to access Narita Airport from Tokyo, but since 2012, LCC has begun full-scale operation in Japan, and in addition to the airport limousine bus from Hakozaki TCAT, the cheap express bus (LCB) that departs from around Tokyo Station has started. Today, I would like to introduce the LCB departing from Yaesu, which I interviewed when sending a friend, and its waiting room. Two LCBs are operated from Yaesu, the gateway to our Chuo-ku. One is "THE Access Narita". It is operated by Heiwa Kotsu and JR Bus Kanto, departs Ginza Sukiyabashi-mae bus stop and connects to Narita Airport via Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit JR Express Bus Terminal (Chiyoda-ku) for 1,000 yen.

The other is the Tokyo Shuttle. It is operated by Keisei Bus, and it is also 1,000 yen from Keisei Bus No. 3 bus stop (Chuo-ku) along Sotobori-dori St. (Departure auline Net / Rakuten Travel, in which case it is discounted to 900 yen).

There are more than 50 round trips a day each (3 companies operate 164 round trips per day), and in particular, LCB2 also operates late at night for LCC's early morning flights, so its convenience and low fares (about 1/3 of limousine buses), and it seems that there are quite a lot of tourists not only from Japanese but also from overseas. On the other hand, as the number of users increased, the ride was not a fine bus terminal like TCAT, but a bus from a bus stop that was blowing, so it was a bit difficult to wait for the bus when the rain and wind were strong.

In response to such users' voices, each LCB has a bus waiting room since last year. In the case of THE Access Narita, with the commencement of joint operation with JR Bus Kanto from December last year, the Narita Airport departure platform (until then) moved from the bus stop along Yaesu Street to the JR Express Bus Terminal No. 7 bus stop, users will be able to use the JR Express Bus Waiting Room under the Grand Roof of Tokyo Station.

In July last year, the Tokyo Shuttle also installed the Keisei Express Bus Lounge on the 1st and 2nd floors of the Yaesu Rotary Building along Sotobori-dori St. The Keisei Express Bus Lounge is available from early morning to late night. There are benches where you can sit comfortably and wait until the bus departure time, as well as vending machines for drinks and toilets.

LCC launches not only from overseas but also from all over Japan (Kansai, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Takamatsu, etc.) are increasing year by year, and I think the use of LCC via Narita Airport, where LCC dedicated Terminal 3 has been established, will continue to increase in the future. Chuo-ku is directly connected to Narita by LCB, and it seems that more and more visitors from Japan and overseas can be expected in the future. We correspondents want to continue to introduce secret places that will allow such customers to enjoy Chuo-ku more.

An annual autumn event, stamp rally began to collect stamps around antenna shops in Chuo-ku.

This is the 10th time this year.

Here are some of the routes I went around (just a few examples). We went to the lower limit of 18 stores where we can apply.

By the way, there are currently 26 antenna shops in Chuo Ward.

After that, we returned to Sotobori-dori St. and headed toward Tokyo Station, visited Fukushima-kan, Hokkaido, Kyoto-kan, Wakayama Kishu-kan, and then headed toward Nihombashi Station, cleared 18 stores at Yamanashi-kan and Yamaguchi-kan.

 

However, no matter how efficiently you want to go around in a short time, each store has something that looks delicious, so be prepared in advance that it will take time to shop.

 This year's “Town Walking” tour hosted by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association is finally in the second half.

This time, we will introduce the state of "Industrial Course Long-Term Tour 1" held on October 2.

This course will visit Castella's Civilization Hall, Knife no Kiya, and Yamamoto-noriten Main Store, listen to the history and products of the shop, and touch the spirit of business that inherits tradition. Small tour.

 

The first store is Bunmeido Tokyo Nihonbashi Main Store

In 1900, Anzaburo Nakagawa was founded in Nagasaki.

We will talk about the history of castella, the history of nostalgic commercials, company history, etc. until castella is made.

Currently, there are seven corporations with the same origin nationwide, and as a group company based on a production and sales system closely related to each region, we have a mutual cooperation system.

His commitment is to make confectionery with carefully selected materials and skills of skilled craftsmen. For example, "Specially Selected Gosan Castella" uses carefully selected materials such as ultra-thin flour, Tokushima Wasanbon sugar, and U.K. Cotswald honey, which are baked by skilled craftsmen.

In addition, "53" castella is a finest product with a richer flavor of castella, and its name is derived from the fact that the ratio of egg yolk and egg white used is 5:3, In addition to the theory that "Gozo no Kiri", it is said that it is based on the paulownia crest "53 paulownia", because it is delivered in a paulownia box as an important gift, it as an important gift, it is as an important gift.

 

The second store is Nihonbashi Kiya Main Store

In Kansei 4 (1792), the first Isuke Kato was granted "Japanese shop curtain" from the Kiya main store, where he was dedicated, and became independent, and founded a batting wholesaler.

First of all, from the explanation of the "Kidai Shoran" picture scroll published in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on October 27, 2011, which was displayed at the store.

This is a bird's-eye view of the main street (now Chuo-dori) from Nihonbashi to Imagawa Bridge in Edo around 1805 from the east side. Among the 88 wholesalers and shops along the road, there are four wooden shops, including the main office under contract, and the wooden shop on the far right (north side) is the same trademark used inJapanese shop curtain.

Next, the origin of the name "Kiya", the history of the knives Kiya, the succession of traditional techniques and the introduction of new technologies ("Edelweiss kitchen knife" using Austrian stainless steel, "Cosmic Danjuro" using powdered steel) kitchen knives and cutting boards (each steel / stainless steel / powdered steel alloy) In addition to talking about wood / wood.

The exhibition "Hakata Mizuhiki Nagasawa Hiromi Exhibition" is currently being held at the izutuki Space, a place for disseminating traditional Japanese technology, newly established in the fall of 2014.

 

The third store is Yamamoto-noriten Nihonbashi Main Store

In Kaei 2 (1849), the first Tokujiro Yamamoto was founded at the current location.

In the back of the shop, there is a signboard of gold letters used in the old building.

First of all, the design applied to the current headquarters building completed in 1965 (designed with a school warehouse on the outer wall of the building, Shigaraki ware tiles that stylized the male cells of the laver on the back wall, the ceiling image of the sail and bottom of the laver ship) and figurines (models of "enclosure jars" and "nori boat" that used to store laver).

Next, the history of the company, the creation of seasoned seaweed, the season of seaweed, the production area of seaweed, the cultivation method (post type, floating type), the origin of the "Maruume" mark, how to preserve seaweed, and actress Yoko Yamamoto We asked about the best in the world for exclusive model contracts (1967-) Guinness Record certification.

A long time ago, before the life history of laver was elucidated, sowing work was carried out relying on cans and experience, production was unstable, and it was sometimes called `` Unkusa '' as a market product It seems that

 

Mr. Hoshino, manager of the main store of Bunmeido Tokyo Nihonbashi Main Store, Kaneko, manager of the Nihonbashi Kiya Main Store, Yamamoto-noriten Nihonbashi Main Store Kawada, thank you very much for your valuable story during your busy schedule.

 

 

 

Hello. It's on the top.

As I mentioned in the previous blog, this article is at this time when it gets cold.

Here's the perfect shop.

Have you ever been to Oden's "Otayuki"?

The location is 2-2-3 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku.

This shop is a Kanto-style authentic oden shop founded in 1923. Mr. Ko Ota, the founder,

It seems that he changed his name and named it "Otayuki".

 

I visited with my senior at the company in late afternoon on a still hot and humid day in September.

There is also a long line in the shop.

I heard the conversations of the people in the line naturally.

"After all, I have to eat the signboard dish 'toumai'!" "I can have lunch at Nihonbashi for 670 yen.

It's amazing!" "I wanted to have a long-established taste once." "It's a hot day like today.

I thought it was less, but it was a miscalculation!" ・Everyone was lined up with "a lot of energy" (laughs).

 

"Toumai" is a special product made by Tayuki, with plenty of soup soaked on rice and stewed on it.

It's a menu with tofu. There are many customers who come from afar in search of this taste ...

 

I and my senior made the oden set meal.

　

It looks a little dark, but when I ate it, it was a refreshing and elegant taste. In a large pot

Oden, which has been carefully cooked, has a taste of all ingredients to the core, and it "relaxing".

 

I've been there only once yet, but I'd like to find another opportunity and visit.

All of you!♪
