Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The Nihonbashi Tax Office has been under construction for a long time, but now it looks like this! It is a building that is moderately modern and has a Japanese taste. It will be completed in August and will start operations on September 19. The first floor will be a parking lot for users. The shops in the building, which the local residents had expected little....There's nothing in particular! I'm sorry!

New commercial buildings are being built one after another in Ginza, and by the time autumn begins, the scenery of Ueno-Okachimachi neighborhood changes. The redevelopment of the city, such as the development of the subway station premises, will continue for the Olympics, but the residential areas in Chuo-ku have also changed accordingly. I would like to leave the scene of Chuo-ku in Heisei on this blog as much as possible.

 

 

It's rosemary sea, rock-on "Gift and Enjoy myself" and cover it.

　

This is the antenna shop in Toyama Prefecture, Nihonbashi Toyamakan, the last two articles and the previous article.

There is also a bar lounge at Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

This time, I would like to introduce everyone.

This time, we also talked to Mr. Asano, sub-manager of Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

Toyama is one of Japan's most famous water villages, blessed with high quality water.

Made from clear water and carefully selected rice, locally brewed sake is one of the most famous sakes in Japan.

Please use locally brewed sake, 17 breweries in the prefecture, tidbits unique to Toyama, and non-alcoholic soft drinks and amazake that boasts water, as well as places for relaxation and exchange.

　

Recommended drink comparison of 3 kinds of locally brewed sake (30ml each) and comparison of Toyama Kamaboko. If you like something, why don't you buy it at the shop corner?

　

The image on the right shows a comparison of three kinds of locally brewed sake drinking.

　

・・・ Another recommendation is the Toyama beef conbeef. This is an area of covetedness.

This bar lounge is one year since the opening of the Nihonbashi Toyamakan, so people who work for companies in the Nihonbashi area already know it. It seems that the number of people who can stop by at the end of work is increasing.

Nihonbashi Toyama-kan also has a Japanese restaurant.

Please enjoy Toyama Bay, which is a variety of fish species called "Natural Ikesu", and the delicious seafood of the four seasons.

From Kyobashi Station to the south, north from Takaracho Station, about a 3-minute walk from either side, there is the Tokyo Takara Lottery Dream Hall, where a huge mascot character, will welcome you. (Tokyo is because there are similar facilities in Osaka.)

　

　

In the hall, the history of lotteries and world lotteries (written as lottery tickets) are explained in panels and real exhibitions.

　

　

　

You can also experience the weight of a 100 million yen bill, or see the pile of 1 billion yen bill bundles. (It's a pity that it's not a real bill.)

　　

　

From Monday to Friday at 6:45 in the evening, Lotto and Bingo 5 raffle are open.

　

On the day I visited, Loto 6 lottery was held. The two people sitting in the chair are lawyers and Deputy Director of Mizuho Bank, who are checking the numbers that came out of the lottery machine as witnesses to confirm that the lottery is being performed correctly.

　

　

　

Following the lottery of Loto 6, the lottery of Numbers will be held. The lottery machine rotated like a stage around, and the lottery began in the same way.

　

　

(You can see this on the live broadcast of the lottery official website.)

One of the most interesting things about Tokyo Dumbo was the display of a booklet called "Books to Read from That Day", which is distributed only to high-priced winners. I wanted to be worried about how to hold and use the mind when I was elected, how to manage information, etc. someday.

　

　

In Chuo-ku, there are Nishi Ginza Chance Center, which is famous for selling high-priced lottery tickets, and Tomizuka of Sugimori Shrine, making it a district closely related to lotteries.

　　

　

　

　

Well, why don't you try to get a dream?

Nihonbashi Toyamakan, an antenna shop in Toyama Prefecture, this is the previous article.

⇒ /archive/2017/06/post-4419.html

Last time, we introduced two products, but this time we would like to introduce five products.

This time, we also talked to Mr. Asano, sub-manager of Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

Let's introduce the product. Toyama Prefecture is full of good products.

　

Okakura "Ecchu Toyama's Jobigashi"

It's an assortment of oysters.

However, it is a retro package of Toyama's medicine (preservative medicine) style.

It's quite unique to a regular snack that is not a regular medicine.

It has a good old paper balloon and a bookmark of Toyama dialect.

But the oysters themselves are genuine and authentic.

Rice: Using glutinous rice from Toyama

Water: Thaw water from the mountains of the Northern Japanese Alps = Uses very delicious water.

Skills and heart: Handing down techniques for over 80 years, baking with care

It seems that they are making delicious oysters that bring excitement with this commitment.

　

Confectionery Studio Fervel "Bamkuchen"

Baumkuchen is very famous for those from Toyama Prefecture. The best souvenir, like sold in front of Toyama Station, is the best souvenir.

In Tokyo, it is a limited sale of Nihonbashi Toyamakan. By the way, the left side is a cut of this Baumkuchen.

It is the so-called "Bamkuchen made by Tamagoya-san".

Seyagree healthy eggs, an egg produced by parent chickens that do not carry Salmonella bacteria raised on a clean farm in Toyama.

So, of course, it's a safe egg without Salmonella.

The egg producer, Seire Glee System, is the roots of Confectionery Studio Fervel.

The carefully selected fermented butter and the mellowness of the yolk of the green egg is well mixed and baked to a deep taste.

In addition, no additives such as shorting, baking powder or fragrance are used.

One of the charms is the beauty of natural baked colors unique to careful handling.

　

Tsukisekai Honpo "Tsukisekai"

It's a representative of Toyama. It is a classic famous confectionery that lives in modern times.

In Toyama, when you are called to your home, you often take this with you.

It seems that the other party can receive it like "Thank you for the moon world."

A sweet made by boiling fresh chicken eggs with Japanese Sanbon sugar, agar, and white twin sugar (shirozarato = salame) and dried together.

It has a unique flavor that is crispy and tasty. It's a very elegant snack.

It is said that it was named the Moon World, similar to the faint moon shadow floating in the dawn sky.

It goes well with black coffee as well as Japanese tea.

　

The thin ice Honpo Goro Maruya "T5 (Tigo)"

It is a thin dried sweet that melts when you put it in your mouth like thin ice. It's a great deal.

How about a tea confection?

Five TONE (color) and TASTE (taste) prepared with selected natural ingredients of Japanese.

5 colors of cherry blossoms (salt), matcha (bitter), yuzu (sour), sesame (nutritious), and Wasanbon (sweet).

The package with a beautiful design that beautifully expresses the world view of light ice is also popular.

The taste was originally good, but we worked with designers to change the package and move forward to overseas expansion.

　

Onoya "Takaoka Ramune"

Sweets selected by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's regional revitalization project "The Wonder 500".

Lamune is a combination of Koshihikari from Toyama Prefecture and domestic ginger, and is a mixture of the old and new Takaoka culture. They are all made of domestic products.

You can feel the tradition and commitment of a long-established Japanese confectionery shop that has been in business for over 170 years in Takaoka.

Artwork depicting Japanese stories, such as the ancient Kichijo pattern "Shell exhaustion", "Treasure exhaustion", which collects treasures that invite fortune such as sea bream, and "Flower exhaustion", which collects seasonal flowers.

Moreover, it is a ramune made by craftsmen one by one.

It is finished to have a gentle taste with the fragrance of the material after soft mouthfeeling.

　

・・・ Next time, I would like to introduce the bar lounge attached to the hotel. Please look forward to it.

The birthplace of Edo Kabuki, the site of the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Vegetable Market

　

This is 3-4 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku.

The two stone monuments are in the same place.

It was erected in 1957 as the birthplace of Kabuki.

　

It was in 1624 that Nakamuraza was allowed to play a drum tower in the southern part of Nakahashi. Since then, it has continued for 270 years until 1893. At that time, it was a very lively place with huts such as puppet manipulation and Joruri. After that, the industrial goods were removed for reasons close to Edo Castle and moved to Nihonbashi Horidome-cho.

　

The stone monument at the site of the Seimono Market was erected in 1959 in retrospective of the opening of the market for 280 years.

　

The market was located in Kitazume, Kyobashi River, which has good water transportation. The name of the radish is given because the large number of radishes arrived. It has nothing to do with the birthplace of Kabuki. I hope you'll be sure.

　

After that, it was merged with Tsukiji Central Wholesale Market in 1935 and moved to.

Please take a look while shopping in Ginza.

 

 

Ichiishibashi (1-11 Yaesu)

　

According to the explanation board of the local Chuo-ku Board of Education (Chuo inhabitant's cultural property, lower left photo), the name of the bridge is derived from Shosaburo Goto, who uses the shogunate Koza in Honryoka-cho north of the bridge, and Gofukumachi south of the bridge. There is a mansion of Goto Seidensuke, a kimono shop, and it is named Goto, Goto + Goto. If there is an objection to this, it is also introduced in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" as follows. It is derived from the fact that this bridge was replaced with one rice stone in accordance with the Eiraku Zen sentence, which was banned in use in the early Edo period.

　

In addition, Minami-Hashizume has a "Ichiishibashi Lost Shirase Stone Mark" (Designated Cultural Property, Tokyo), which seems to have been crowded with many people during the Edo period. When I got lost, my parents and children sometimes lived apart for a lifetime. This stone marker is the only one from the Edo period and is regarded as a valuable historical material.
In addition, the largest skyscraper in Japan has been planned on the west side since 2020, and the demolition of existing buildings is underway. I think it will become an area that attracts the attention of many people.

The highway passes through the upper part, and the lower part of Ichiishi Bridge is low from the water surface.

　

Ichiishibashi, whose name is Yamibashi, is also introduced in Edo famous places such as Edo famous places. It is said that he could see eight bridges, including himself, from this Hashigami. Now Dosanbori and outer moat are buried, and the remaining four are Jobanbashi (under demolition and renovation), Ichiishibashi, Edobashi, and Nihonbashi. Dosan Bridge, Zenbe Bridge, Kaji Bridge, and Gofuku Bridge have no actual bridge, but there are some places where explanation boards are installed.

　

The photo on the lower left, the north side of Jobanbashi. The old Joban Bridge, which is under renovation work, is hidden by Tokiwa Bridge and cannot be seen. The photo on the right shows the Nihonbashi direction, the bridge girder of the expressway, etc. Edobashi is not visible, but Nihonbashi seems to be a little bit like that.

　

The lower left is the site of Dosan Bridge, and the lower right photo shows the site of Gofuku Bridge.

　

The photo below shows the explanation board of the blacksmith bridge.
