"Ozu Washi" is an Australian merchant from Ise and has been involved in the history of Washi for more than 360 years since opening a paper merchant in Temmacho, Edo Dai. On the 3rd floor "Ozu Historical Museum", the cargo of handmade Japanese paper "choshi" (Machiya's business and daily use) sent from Echizen around the beginning of the Meiji era (48 sheets, 30 sheets = 1152 sheets, 3.5 kg) is on display.

Echizen Washi has a long history of 1500 years. Masayoshi Iwahara contributed to the Echizen Washi Lovers Association "Washi no Sato" to introduce a sentence of the paper "How Echizen Washi in the Edo period was sent to the three major consumption areas" ... [Edo period paper trade is said to be the second only to rice and wood, but Echizen Washi washi was also sent in large quantities to the large consumption area Edo. Transport can be broadly divided into land and sea transport. Papers from the Shogunate and the Fukui clan Edo were carefully sent by land. After the mid-Edo period, it is sent to Edo using various boat transportation in consideration of safety and economic efficiency. In 1844 (1844), when a fire broke out from Oku and the Edo Castle Honmaru disappeared, the Fukui clan donated 300,000 bird paper to the Shogunate for a fire visit (equivalent to 300,000 yen in terms of current monetary value). The paper produced estimated that 7,500 sheets were made into one horse (within 120 kg of public use), and was carried by horse across the Oi River with a large number of heads and manpower]....。 Fukui is more than 500 kilometers away from Edo. I think Echizen Washi has exerted various powers on industry, education, and culture formation from Edo to the middle of the Meiji era, from public paper, publications, ukiyo-e, etc. to living paper.

　

 

 

At the Kanda Festival, a lively Hale festival comes after the end of Golden Week, and I am not an Edo kid, but I look back once again.

　

Kanda Myojin was founded about 1300 years ago in Tenpyo 2 (730), near Masakadozuka, Otemachi near the present Imperial Palace. Later, in 1616, the year of Ieyasu Tokugawa's death, he was transferred to Sotokanda, the current location of the castle's Omote unlucky direction, to expand Edo Castle.

　

Kanda Myojin is now famous as the guardian god of the 108 town associations in Chuo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, and Kanda Festival is one of Japan's three major festivals.

　

It is said that during the Edo period, the festival was allowed to enter Edo Castle (Imperial Palace).

　

This 5/13 is called the Shinko Festival, with a portable shrine (Daikoku-sama, Ebisu-sama, Masakado-sama) and a procession of era picture scrolls depart from Kanda-jinja Shrine, Ochanomizu, Otemachi, Akihabara, Higashinihombashi (lunch break), and go back to Kanda-jingu, Mitsukoshi-mae, My-dori.
→May 13 In the evening of Chuo-dori, there is no doubt that a towing called "Otsuki Matsuri" will join together (a large catfish, a large upholstery of Hanasaki-san in 2015) to further delight the eyes.

　

The Kanda Festival, which is displayed on the first floor of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, is also dancing for some reason.
Passing by spring, it's like summer, everyone, please stay in good condition.

 

 

This is a rosemary sea, which designs and covers "gifts and enjoy yourself."

　

We asked HIDEMI SUGINO, a patisserie in Kyobashi, today.

　

The shop is only Kyobashi. We don't have any other stores. It seems that the chef prepares himself within the reach of his eyes.

　

I asked you when I received an offer from JUMI of Central FM Personality (request for coverage of this shop).

Mr. JUMI, I think you enjoyed it.

　

Owner-chef patissier Hidemi Sugino and La Coupe du Monde de la Ptisserie (La Coupe du Monde de la Ptisserie), the world competition of patissier, has successfully led the Japanese team to the first victory as a leader of the Japanese team.

It is also a magnificent crown of defeating France.

Two years later, he served as the jury chair at the 3rd meeting.

　　

In 2000, he was the first Oriental to be allowed to join the Lele Desser International, the world's leading patissier Chocolatier association.

　

After working at a store in Kobe, he opened HIDEMI SUGINO here in Kyobashi in 2002, and is one of the world-famous Japanese patissiers.

　

If the reading is "idemisugino", the first "H" is not pronounced in French, so it will be "idemi ...".

　

Almost all of the original sweets offered here are Chef Sugino.

I'm good at chocolate raw sweets. The cake when the world championship won the cake is also a chocolate snack named "Amployage (the gods eat)".

This is the amplifier loisy.

　

This is a showcase of raw sweets served in eat-in.

Not only the taste, but also the color and shape are wonderful even if you look at it.

It's so beautiful that you don't think it's a thing of this world.

Can you sympathize with Rosmali who would like to receive all of this?

Today, the amplifier is placed seventh from the left.

　

※　All photography, including sweets, is prohibited inside the store.

　　I visited before the store opened and received special permission for shooting.

　

Today, along with Rosmari's synonymous "Gift", I will introduce you to the main baked confectionery that can be taken home. If you have no eyes on sweets, please come to the store and enjoy raw sweets with eat-in.

It is expected that Saturday and public holidays will be crowded all day.

You may have to line up in the line.

　　

Then...

Assorted baked sweets

It contains something that feels like the season.

It starts at about 2900 yen for eight points.

It is said that many gifts are about 3,500 yen for 10 points.

It seems that many gifts are used in company relations.

If you wish, you can combine the types of baked sweets.

　

Assorted fruit cake (foreground) and strawberry cake (back)

The production changes depending on the season.

Nowadays, pound cakes using citrus (citrus) and sweets using coconuts and pineapples in summer.

Most of the sweets change depending on the material.

The trophy and photos are displayed in the back of the store.

This is the trophy of "Asia's best pastry chef" given to the best pastry chef in Asia at "Asia's best restaurant 50 (Asia's best restaurants 50) 2015" and the winning scene. Chef Sugino is on the left side. It was March two years ago.

　

It is a very popular store, but it seems that overseas recognition is higher than recognition in Japan.

Those who lined up before the opening of the store today are all foreigners.

However, there are some culinary researchers who have been highly awarded this cake for a long time.

The other day, Rosmari, I saw this person at the store.

In addition, there is a high level of recognition in rural areas. Customers from the Kobe era.

In addition, a chef's story is included in a textbook in the Japanese language of the sixth grade of elementary school.

　

While valuing the basics, model changes and minor changes have been made according to the times, so they are still accepted today.

It is said that both raw and baked confectionery continue to evolve from any sweets and jam.

・・Thank you very much for giving me the secret.

　Under the theme of "Haiku," we will introduce Kikaku Enomoto (later Kikaku Takarai), a poet who gained popularity during the Edo period, and spots related to the corner. We hope that you will feel familiar with the phrases written by the corner, the time and city where the corner spent.

　

　Also, I heard the news that a promotion council was established to make Haiku UNESCO Intangible Cultural Property. If approved, Haiku will get more attention.

　Matsuo Basho, a poet from the Edo period, established haikai in the literary arts. "Sokaku" is the disciple of Basho, which is counted as Shomonjittsu.

　In contrast to Basho who wrote tranquility, the corner wrote many stylish phrases based on Edo. After Basho's death, the corner caused "Edoza" and gained even more popularity with a stylish phrase reflecting the Edo kid's temperament.

Я начинаю писать о нашим администационным районе Чуо-ку (центральный район) в Токио.В Чуо-ку находятся известные в мире квартал Гиндза и рынок Цукидзи. Но остальные ,к сожалению, не так известны заграницей, хотя много интересных...Я хочу познакомить историю и достопримечательности в нашим районе. Надеюсь ,чтобы мое сочнение помогало Вам придумать хороший план по туру в Японию

　

In Chuo-ku, Tokyo, there are world-famous Ginza and Tsukiji Market. There are many other nice places, but unfortunately it is not well known overseas. We will introduce the history and sightseeing spots of Chuo-ku, so we hope that you can refer to sightseeing planning.

　

　

Давайте начинаем с моста Нихонбаси ,который является началом всех дорог в Японии. В самом начале шёгната Эдо (в 1603 г.) постороили мост и 5 главных дорог по Японии - Токайдо ,Накасандо, Никкодочу, Оушудочу и Кошудочу, по которым до сих пор находятся многие из самых больших городов .Т.е. стороительство этих дорог и моста имеет большое историческое и географическое значение в Японии.

　

Let's visit for the first time from Nihonbashi, which is the beginning of all the paths. Nihonbashi was built in the early Edo period (1603). At the same time, Gokaido (Tokaido, Nakasendo, Nikko Dochu, Oshu Dochu, Koshu Dochu) was created, and many of Japan's major cities are still located along these roads. In other words, the construction of the five highways and Nihonbashi has significant historical and geographical significance in Japan.

　

Все дороги начинаются с этой точки ,одновременно и заканчиваются все дороги. Хорошие дороги постороены - значит создана логистическая системы. Нихонбаси являлся торговым центром в эпохе Эдо. Торговцы из всех городов собирались в Нихонбаси с разных вещами. Продукты, ремесла, материалы и т.п. И в настаящее время кв.Нихонбаси извесен среди японцев как место для покупки дорогих товаров или традиционых вещей.Среди иносторанцев, наверное, извесен Гиндза универмагами . Но самый первый универмаг в Японии построен в Нихонбаси.

　

The beginning of all roads, it is also the end station of all roads. The improvement of the highway means that a logistics system has been built. Nihonbashi is the commercial center of the Edo period. Merchants aimed for Nihonbashi by bringing various things from all over Japan to Nihonbashi. Food, crafts, building materials, etc. Even today, Nihonbashi is still famous as a shopping spot where you can buy luxury and Japanese products. Overseas, I think the department store is the image of Ginza, but the first department store in Japan was Nihonbashi.

　

　

Так что много исторических храмов , святилищ и разные магазины , часто проводят мероприяцию. В каждый раз при посещении Нихонбаси Вы можете познакомить что-то новое. Сегодня я купила в временным стенде в книжном магидине MARUZEN коробка из кипариса с солью для ванны. Она дает аромат как ванна из кипариса. Ванна из кипариса считается самым лоскошным в Японии . Стенд работает до 9 мая.

　

There are frequent events in Nihonbashi, where many historical shrines and temples and various shops are lined up. It's a place where you can meet something new every time you go. I bought a cypress basin with bath salts at a limited-time event within Yoshinichimaru. If you sink the basin into the bath as it is, you can enjoy the feeling of Japanese cypress wood bath with bath salt. By the way, Japanese cypress wood bath is said to be the most luxurious bath in Japan. The event is until May 9th.
