― About Japanese language class

"This is, in other words, the main business.

Since it is a classroom normally, this teacher says, "Everyone who is doing it is a volunteer.

First of all, you can use one room here. Other places in the city, such as the Women's Center or the Nihonbashi Social Education Center.

In addition, there are other things that I have to borrow separately. Originally, there were only three classrooms hosted by our association, but there were 2,30 volunteers here to teach foreigners living and working in Chuo-ku and those who are having trouble in Japanese. There is a classroom in the form. So, there is a lot of demand that we want to study intermediate and advanced even if we are in trouble, and there are a lot of volunteers starting up and now there are 10 classrooms in total. "

"It seems that there are many people from China and Korea as a country. About 60% of foreigners living in Chuo-ku are Chinese and Koreans. I don't think it has changed for years. However, there are many things like Europe and the United States and Southeast Asia. In addition to living, it's okay to work."

Edo's specialty -3

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] October 21, 2016 16:00

Continuing from Edo's specialty, "Inari no Dog droppings"
First, "dog droppings"
It seems that there were many people who kept pets in the Edo period.
It seems that 20 dogs are depicted in "Kidai Shoran".
(I don't count) Also in the diary of a lower class samurai
It seems that there was also a saying, "I felt uncomfortable by stepping on the dog's droppings."

 

 

Finally "Inari"
I don't notice, but there are Inari in some places.

 

It is located on the side of the seaside seafood bridge at Tsukiji Fish Bank.

"Dosanko" Ramen Yaesu Store

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 20, 2016 16:00

dosanco05.JPG

This is the first rebrand store of "Dosanko" on Yaesu Underground 2nd Street in Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

dosanco02.JPG

It is a miso of the royal road, red kneading.

dosanco03.JPG

It contains char siu, menma, meat miso, cabbage, and green onions.

The noodles are thick noodles, and I am a basic thin noodles, but I think that thick noodles match this miso and garlic soup.

The combination of chopped cabbage and soup is also wonderful.

It was delicious. I'll come again.
