Saigo-don-Senbikiya Sohonten-

[rosemary sea] February 14, 2017 09:00

This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an interface.

 

DSC01900a.jpgThis time again, apart from the original "gift", I write with the belief that "sorting smile" is also a gift in a sense.

 

This is the fourth introduction to Senbikiya Sohonten as a rosmary, but it has not been introduced as it is.

 

Mr. Yamaguchi, Assistant Manager, Sales Division, Senbikiya Sohonten Co., Ltd., cooperated.

The sales headquarters is located on the opposite side of the shop. The first floor is the Mie Terrace of the antenna shop. (Photo on the right)

 

In the "Chuo-ku First Story Map" published by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Senbikiya is "Japan's first fruit specialty store".

 

Daijiro Oshima, the third generation, started a fruit specialty store by improving the quality of domestic fruits and importing foreign fruits and seeds. ・・ ・ This story was mentioned in the first introduction of Senbikiya in January.

It seems that there are many anecdotes in the historic Senbikiya. This time, too.

I'll explain it from a little far away. Please follow me well.

 

NHK Taiga drama series's 57th work in 2018 is "Saigo Don". Takamori Saigo, this is the second close-up following "Shobuga Nyorai" in 1990.

Original: Mariko Hayashi, Screenplay: Miho Nakazono, the leading role is Ryohei Suzuki. This is what has been announced now. It is scheduled to be cranked in July.

I'm worried about what kind of actors will solidify their sides from now on. I'm looking forward to it.

 

I think you know Mr. Saigo, who is familiar with Chuo-ku.

Mr. Saigo was appointed as a member of the Diet in 1871 and moved to Tokyo. There is a daimyo residence in the neighborhood of Chichibashi, where the ruins of Nakayashiki in the former Sakai Gagaku head were set up here.

DSC01915b.jpgThere is an explanation board on the left side of the front entrance of Nihonbashi Elementary School, 1-1-17 Nihonbashi. (Photo on the left)

Fifteen students, seven young men, and several hunting dogs. Of course, let's walk around Nihonbashi.

Mr. Saigo was a favorite of Senbikiya, and had great trust in Mura, the wife of the second generation Bunzo Oshima.

On a hot summer day, a loud voice may resonate at the store saying, "Okay, bring a strange watermelon."

In 1873, he lost to the theory of conquering Korea and returned to Saigo and Kagoshima, but when he pulled out the mansion, he asked Mura, "Would you like to give this mansion?" A joke that is not serious.

Mura declined to say, "The mansion is too large." Actually, the area is 2,633 tsubo.

It is said that Mura-san felt that this exchange had a glimpse of the emptyness in Saigo's chest.

To convey the tradition of Edo to the present ~ Lacquerware Kuroeya ~

[rosemary sea] February 12, 2017 09:00

It's rosemary sea, which brushes up "gifts and I enjoy myself".

 

DSC01902a.jpgKuroeya, a long-established lacquerware manufacturer, was founded in Genroku 2 (1689).

 

For 300 years with goodwill at the base of Nihonbashi, we have continued to preserve the precision of lacquer crafts from ancient Japan.

This time, before the admission, admission, and employment season, we will introduce each celebration-related item here with Kuroeya's product.

We spoke with Mr. Tanaka, Managing Director of Kuroeya Co., Ltd.

 

DSC01885a.jpg

Ume Children's soup bowl, chopsticks, and spoon set.

The left is for boys and red Tamenai, and the right is for girls and Souzu.

I wonder if it's the best way to celebrate the entrance. The bowl is hand-painted with lacquer, and the chopsticks and spoons are also lacquer.

It's a very quaint item. Both are 4,000 yen + tax.

 

DSC01884a.jpg

A ballpoint pen with maki-e. 4,000 yen each + tax.

It seems that this price range is easy to come out for celebration.

It seems that it costs 20,000 to 40,000 yen for Wajima lacquerware.

For men, we recommend the third red Fuji pattern from the right, and for women, the second cherry blossom pattern from the left.

 

DSC01890a.jpg

The decorative dish depicted by Echizen Nuri and Mount Fuji. 32,000 yen + tax.

There are many things to decorate like this rather than practical use.

 

DSC01906a.jpg

This is also a decorative dish of Echizen Nuri, and the pattern is cherry blossoms. 32,000 yen + tax.

It's a very gorgeous dish. I'll be pleased if you give it.

It seems that it is often used to celebrate the promotion of company relations along with Mount Fuji's decorations.

 

DSC01907a.jpg

Red Fuji in the folding screen clock, 4,000 yen + tax.

It seems that the clock is also popular as a celebration. The price is also reasonable.

The pattern of red Fuji, the pattern of cherry blossoms, and various products have this pattern.

 

DSC01899a.jpg

Japanese chopsticks. Red and black pair set, wooden lacquered 2,400 yen + tax.

This is a standard product.

Japan is a representative of the Kuroeya brand, traced to Nihonbashi.

 

DSC01886a.jpg DSC01888a.jpg

On the left side of the entrance of the store is the famous giboshi.

It was located in Nihonbashi, which was owned by Kuroeya-san, giboshi in Nihonbashi, and at the foot of the bridge.

"September 1658 Bo Dog Year (1658) lucky day Nihonbashi Carpenter Shiina Hyogo" is engraved.

It seems that the carpenter's man is the shogunate's servant.

 

A part of Nihonbashi during the Edo period has been restored to the Edo Tokyo Museum, but the giboshi here is a reprint of Kuroeya's one. Mr. Kuroeya's one is genuine.

I would like to introduce the history of Kuroeya in detail next time.

BRASSERIE D & SWEETROOM AT NIHOMBASHI YUITO BLDG.

[Silver] February 9, 2017 18:00

Nihonbashi YUITO is a premium shop & dining zone that responds to the aesthetics of adults who have learned high quality.

It's a blissful moment to spend a good time in a high-quality space. From the beginning of the opening, I wanted to taste the gourmet and wanted to come early, but finally came true.

Just because my friend came to Tokyo, I went out. The shop is a shop called BRASSERIE & SWEETROOM, which I have passed several times before. Do you feel like your food is casual French?

The color of the box seat in the store is pink! 

DSC_1987.JPG

Oh, isn't it? While thinking, I ordered WEEKEND LUNCH.

1486423651451.jpg

First, appetizer. I'm a carpaccio of yellowtail. My friend is homemade smoke salmon salad. Warm and mild cream corn soup.

1486423677791.jpg 1486423687598.jpg

The next main dish. I'm a fresh fish and scorpion saute.

1486423707638.jpg

My friend is a beef tongue stew using Demigrass sauce. I got a little meat, but the shape of the meat remained firm, but the texture was soft so that it melts. (The photo was flashed, so it didn't look beautiful, gave up.) The hot stew I received a little, and my body and mind became warmer.

A group of young women gradually came in and surrounded by women. I enjoyed a delicious meal using a fork and a knife while thinking, "I wonder if it was out of place."

After a while, I was relieved that my family with grandpa, grandma, and grandchild came in.

The dessert is ice cream containing clamberries. My friend is ice cream containing pancakes.

1486423820248.jpg

The female clerk responded friendly and crisply, and it was a very fun lunch.

This time, I'm going to go to eat TAPAS such as a la carte pinchos in the evening. 

Standing on the window side, tilt the glass, and the night view of Nihonbashi will be wonderful.

 

 

FLOWERS by NAKED 2017

[Mido] February 9, 2017 14:00

 "FLOWERS by NAKED 2017 - Ritsuharu-" is Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall (COREDO Muromachi 1)

 That's the beginning. You can experience "the earliest cherry blossom viewing in Japan" in Nihonbashi.

  This event is for digital technologies such as projection mapping and CG.

 Therefore, it creates a fantastic space where you can play with flowers.

 As we stepped into the venue, the extraordinary world expands, beautiful and vivid.

  You can get drunk in the world of beautiful flowers.

  

 There is an event reception on the 4th floor of COREDO Muromachi 1, and when you purchase a ticket and go up to the 5th floor.

 It smells good from around here. When you enter the venue, you will first get a projection mapi

 I am surprised at the beauty of the video.

  After this, white artificial flowers shine, and it is full of dynamism that cannot be said.

  If you go further, it will be a corner where you can introduce various flowers with CG, but this is also a video

 I'm impressed by the beauty of it.

 I think some people don't like the beauty of fresh flowers, but virtual flowers are also available.

 In this way, there is something wonderful.

  

 And there is a bar counter, a beer with original cocktails and osmanthus.

 We can have dessert. This is exactly "hanami" (laughs).

 In addition, there is a shopping area where you can find a variety of goods with flower motifs.

 A lot of things were on sale. There were some places where it was somewhat crowded, but there were some places where it was somewhat crowded.

 The venue itself is spacious and has a peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by the scent of flowers

 I took a leisurely stroll through the virtual flower world while watching images and flowers.

 Do you feel it? I think it's also recommended for a date.

Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center @ Kyobashi Edgran

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] February 7, 2017 16:00

I walked Chuo-dori for about 15 minutes from Nihonbashi and visited the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center.

Located on the left side of Meijiya, many office workers visited this building to enjoy lunch.

A lot of sightseeing materials are lined up at the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the first basement floor, and it seems that foreigners such as Chinese customers visiting Japan during this spring festival are also visiting.

Please take a picture of the center (sample sushi is well made).

Yakushi-ji Temple Flower Party Ceremony [Nara Mahoroba-kan]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] February 6, 2017 14:00

hanae01.JPG

At the Nara Mahoroba-kan, an antenna shop in Nara Prefecture, opposite the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, facing Chuo-dori, Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, an exhibition of "Yakushi-ji Temple Flower Party Ceremony-Spring Announcement-" is being held.

hanae02.JPG

The flower ceremony is officially called Shuni-e, but at Yakushi-ji Temple, it is called the flower ceremony because ten kinds of artificial flowers are offered to main deity, and it is popular as an event to tell Nara spring.

The dozen artificial flowers are plums, peaches, cherry blossoms, Yamabuki, camellia, peony, wisteria, lilies, moriwaka, and chrysanthemums.

hanae03.JPG

Speaking of "an event that tells Nara spring," "water removal" at Nigatsudo Todaiji Temple is famous, but it is also officially Shuni-e.

hanae04.JPG

In the exhibition space on the first floor of the Nara Mahoroba Hall, artificial flowers and panels offered at the flower party ceremony were displayed, and video screening of the flower party ceremony was performed.

hanae06.JPG

The event will be held from Thursday, February 2 to 14 (Tue).
