Chuo-ku, a circular water city

[Asunaro] July 31, 2017 16:00


August 1 is Water Day. August 1-7 is a week of water.

 

Since the Edo period, rivers and waterways have played a central role in transportation.
We have formed the bustle of the city from a logistics base by boat.

In recent years, Chuo-ku, blessed with waterside space, has taken advantage of its location.
We are promoting community development.

In the past, not only as a means of transportation, but also as a means of living
At the waterside, which was used while enjoying fun and atmosphere.
As it was.

Green roads, terraces, and water buses are maintained, and breaks, walks and walks.
You can enjoy cruising. While imagining the scenery of the time
Why don't you think about the benefits of water?

When you go out, take thorough measures against sunlight and hydration.
Please keep in mind.

 

 

 

[Showa Doritanken Record] #10: For stiff shoulders and swelling, etc...."Ginza Kiboricho Osteopath" (Ginza 1-chome)

[Dye] July 31, 2017 09:00

It's summer performance, isn't it?
Perhaps because of the climate, I was sick for about a month, so I went to the osteopath after a long absence.
It is "Ginza Kiboricho Osteopath" that has often saved pinch.

I personally trust you.

    

s44_01.jpg s44_02.jpg

It is located on the 5th floor of a building near the post office along Showa-dori between Takaracho Station and Higashi-Ginza Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.

   


At "Ginza Kiboricho Osteopath", you can deal with pain and unpleasant symptoms with a kind interview and reliable treatment.

     

     

When I hugged my child and fell into my hip...
When I fell asleep and I couldn't get pain in my neck for about 3 weeks...
When I did intense exercise and felt so painful that I thought, "Absolutely broke."...
Thank you for your sure pain in 1 to several treatments.

     


Sometimes I use models and illustrations to explain what's going on, so it's easy to imagine.

      

s44_03.jpg

It's very easy to understand if it's like this.

     

           
This mukumi was treated on the mukumi improvement course.
Of course, I was refreshed that day, but I noticed that my feet were warm the next day, and I was impressed by one at the workplace of cooling gungan, saying, "Teacher!"

     

       
I had quite strong stiff shoulders and went to various places, but both stiff shoulders and swelling were usually good immediately after the treatment, but after a week (the earliest the next day), frustration came back and go again...It's easy to do.
However, thanks to this teacher, for the first time, I felt "I have fundamentally improved !!", and recently I have been released from manipulative commuting \ (^ o ^) /

       

    
Also, the teacher's personality is warm.
He is warm and healthy enough to think, "Is there a hocaron?", But he casually relaxes his luggage that fits in his heart in a conversation.
The mind and body are connected.

    

    
Not only in Ginza, but the city is full of osteopaths, and where to go?..."Ginza Kiboricho Osteopath" is a reliable and good osteopath.
There is no doubt because I say that I have moved here and there (' ▽ `*) !

    

If you have a pain or upset☆

There are still many Nagasaki specialties-Nihonbashi Nagasakikan-

[rosemary sea] July 30, 2017 09:00

It's rosemary sea, which listens to "gifts and enjoy yourself."

 

The antenna shop Nihonbashi Nagasakikan in Nagasaki Prefecture, here is the previous introduction.

⇒ /archive/2017/07/post-4512.html

This time, Mr. Khara and Mr. Rko of Rosmali's workplace also offered a product introduction.

At the same time, I also took care of Mr. Kobayashi, Deputy Manager of Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

 

Let me introduce you.

DSC02643a.jpg

Nagasaki Kadoni Manju Iwasaki Honpo

DSC02642a.jpgKakuni, which is made by boiling pork roses slowly, and its melting taste is sandwiched in a dough that is soft.

Nagasaki Kakuni Manju was born with the wish of Nagasaki's unique Takufuku cuisine and a dish of Tonporou, one of them easier.

We are also particular about the materials.

From the dedicated pig farm, "Chili's Andes Kogen Pork" suitable for horny boiled, hygienic and safe pork.

In addition, no chemical seasonings are used for dashi, which is firmly soaked.

Very popular at product exhibitions. But only Nihonbashi Nagasakikan is the only place in stores outside of Kyushu.

In addition, Kojima-san's Kadoni Man (upper right of the image) is also available.

Kankoromochi Ovalan Sokaya

Kankoromochi Oval Purple Potato Sokaya

Goto Islands's regional cuisine Japanese sweets.

"Kankoro" is a sweet potato dried in the sun.

It was an important staple food for the people of Goto Islands.

"Kankoromochi" is the combination of this and glutinous rice. "The taste of hometown" of Nagasaki citizens.

It is an old-fashioned rustic mochi confectionery made by grandma.

When you search the internet ...

Masaharu Fukuyama is very acclaimed. When I was a kid, I baked it on the stove and ate it.

I'm a favorite of Naka Risa. Introducing exquisite sweets that calm down when you eat, as well as beauty and diet effects.

Haruna Kawaguchi is from Goto Islands with a pinpoint. It is a nostalgic taste that reminds me of my hometown.

 


DSC02644a.jpg DSC02648a.jpg

I tried to cook a little bit of Kusakaya's "Kankoro Mochi Vacuum Pack".

"The gentle natural sweetness of sweet potatoes and the firm texture of the mochi make you smile unintentionally." Rosmali family.

Karasumi

It's salted in the ovaries of bola.

Masashi Sada, a singer from Nagasaki Prefecture who believes Rosmari, also sang.

It's a mustard of "My favorite thing, Karasuma ..." It's an old song.

There are various theories in Japan's three major delicacies: "Nagasaki's Karasumi, Echizen's Sea, Mikawa's Wata", but it seems that Nagasaki's Karasumi is always included.

The origin of the name of Karasumi ... There are also various theories.

In the past, the color was black, so it resembled Tang ink, or because it was in the form of Tang ink, or the lord of Nabeshima explained to Hideyoshi Toyotomi as "Tang ink".

Mr. K Hara: "Cut, sandwich the green onions between them. I'm eating it locally."

Rko "Simiple as it is. Cut it thinly into sake tidbits."

 


DSC02633a.jpg

Hasami ware

DSC02630a.jpgHasami-cho, Higashisonogi-gun, Nagasaki. The pottery produced in this area is "Hasami ware".

About 400 years ago, three staircase-shaped climbing kilns were built in Muraki, Hasami-cho, and pottery making began.

Gradually shifted from glazed pottery to porcelain centered on dyeing and celadon, and with the assistance of the Omura clan, dyeing in particular became the largest production in Japan.

In the Edo period, it was a popular dish of ordinary people with thick and rustic arabesque pattern that was durable and hard to break.

Even now, this tradition is definitely alive.

The image is the "cat dish series". It's very popular.

Champon's ingredients

When making Champon at home, how about when you think "I want to make the ingredients full-fledged" or "I want to add a little bit of ingredients"?

You can make authentic champon with bright red and green.

A blissful moment is waiting for you to have a satisfying Champon at home.

It seems that Mr. Khara always uses this.

Dejima in Edo-Nihonbashi Nagasakikan-

[rosemary sea] July 26, 2017 18:00

This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" as an archive.

 

DSC02607a.jpgThe correspondents also studied. The explanation board at Exit 4 of Shin-Nihonbashi Station, "Nagasakiya Ruins".

In the Edo period, there was a medicinal wholesaler in Nihonbashi, which is said to have stayed by Mr. Dutch trading post and Mr. Siebold of Dejima, Nagasaki.

It was called "Izushima in Edo" and was a place for exchange with Western civilization under isolation.

Gennai Hiraga, Ryotaku Maeno and Genpaku Sugita are visiting to meet the Dutch.

In fiction, Megumi Hatanaka's "Shabake" series is also set in Nagasakiya.

 

DSC02612a.jpgNihonbashi Nagasakikan, an antenna shop in Nagasaki Prefecture, opened in March last year in Nihonbashi, which has a deep connection, and plays the role of "a base for transmitting information on Nagasaki culture".

It's the modern "Izushima of Edo".

There are four zones in the store: tourist information, merchandise sales, events, and light food and drink.

 

Mr. Khara (first appearance) and Mr. Rko (second appearance from the Audley article for the first time in a year), both are from Nagasaki Prefecture and are users of Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

We spoke with Mr. Kobayashi, Deputy Manager of Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

This time, I would like to introduce some products in the product sales zone.

DSC02620a.jpg DSC02629a.jpg

The corner of Champon. And the corner of the dish udon.

 

What is your recommendation here?

DSC02618a.jpg DSC02619a.jpg

Nagasaki-chanpon Mirokuya

It is said that the richness of the noodles and the original soup is exquisite.

Both Mr. Khara and Mr. Rko are pushing "Mirokuya".

There are many souvenirs from Nagasaki, most of them, and it seems that they are generally open at Nagasaki and Kyushu exhibitions.

 

DSC02622a.jpg

Udon's corner. What is your recommendation here?

DSC02595a.jpg
Nagasaki Goto Tenobu Udon

Nagasaki Goto Udon Co., Ltd.


Thin but firm, strong body and smooth throat.

It is the result of the careful hand-rolling work.

Goto Islands, the western end of Kyushu. Goto Tenobu Udon, which is handed down to this nature-rich island, is a traditional udon with a millennium history that uses camellia oil squeezed from camellia fruits from Goto and salt obtained from clear seawater.

We use only domestic wheat.

The food lipo of the Rosmari family. "It's thin but stiff. The "slipping feeling" is wonderful with camellia oil."

DSC02621a.jpg

Corners such as somen. What is your recommendation here?

DSC02592a.jpg
Noodles from Shimabara Tenobu

Tenobu Noodle Kofusayama Sho


Hand-rolling technique that has been handed down to the Shimabara region since ancient times. New noodles made based on this.

By adding "more" to the whole noodles, the sauce soup is often entangled.

Made from domestic wheat, it has a sticky texture.

"The impact is great. It has elasticity. Soy sauce is often entangled." Rosmali family.



・・And I had the above two dishes with shrimp soup.

DSC02596a.jpg
Shrimp soup

Choko Shoyu Co., Ltd.


Moderate sweetness and subtle scent of shrimp dashi.

Based on honjozo Marudai bean light soy sauce, it is made with shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and kelp. It's twice concentrated.

"I feel the sweetness of shrimp. The aroma and flavor are also exquisite. I think it goes well with any kind of noodles." Rosmali family.


・・And I also bought flying fish (chin) soup. I'm going to have it here next time.

DSC02600a.jpgJaw soup
Choko Shoyu Co., Ltd.


Light flavor of Nagasaki's famous flying fish (chin) dashi.

This is also based on honjozo Marudai bean light soy sauce, and the balance of shami of flying fish, shiitake mushrooms and kelp is exquisite.

This is also twice concentrated.

By the way, Choko Shoyu has developed additive-free soy sauce for the first time in the industry. It was 1968.

It is said that safety and security are of course pursued health and deliciousness.

In Nagasaki, soy sauce is said to be Choko Shoyu.

DSC02623a.jpg

Motegi Biwa Jelly "Biwa no Suzu"

A loquat jelly made by a producer processing group in the Motegi district of Nagasaki City, Japan's largest loquat production area.

It is a gem that is wrapped in jelly together with a whole loquat fruit and seeds with boiled beans flavor.

I never thought that loquat seeds could be processed and eaten. 。 It's a culture shock.

Moreover, it is said that the seeds themselves are full of nutrients.

DSC02624a.jpg

Also, hydrangea Kabo's (from left) Jelly of Nagasaki Zabon, Igi Riki Mikan, and Nagasaki Motegi Biwa are also recommended.

 

The corner of Nagasaki Castella. What is your recommendation here?

DSC02625a.jpgFifty-three-burning (right)

Fifty-three-yaki kasutera (middle)

Wasanbon sugar kasutera craftsman hand-ware (left) Suzakiya

Gozanyaki does not use all eggs and uses egg white 3 for 5 yolks.

That's why it's called Gosanyaki. It tastes rich.

Suzaki-ya is a shop that has been going on for generations in Nagasaki, but recently it has become energetically available.

It seems to have been put out in the Castella Castle in Huis Ten Bosch.

However, since we refrain from advertising, it seems that the reputation is spreading by word of mouth.

And it seems that only Nihonbashi Nagasakikan is the only one that has items in the Tokyo area.

 

DSC02626a.jpg

Another recommendation ...

Wasanbon Castella Nagasaki Honpo Sugaan (Toan)

This is also a popular castella.

 

Mr. Nihonbashi Nagasakikan, there are still many products to introduce. I'm looking forward to it.

[This is] July 25, 2017 09:00

Я работаю оператором в турфирме. Хочу познакомить Вас с гостиницами в нашем районе Чуо-ку.

Начинаем с единственного пятизвёздочного отеля в Чуо-ку « Mandarin Oriental Tokyo »

 

We will introduce hotels in Chuo-ku in a series by taking advantage of our occupation (working for a travel agency).

Chuo-ku is actually a ward with few hotels despite the high interest of tourists.

 

 

The first is currently the only 5-star hotel in the city, Mandarin Oriental Tokyo.

DSC_0138s.jpg

IMG_5076s.jpg

Отель стоит на большом праспекте в центре квартала Нихонбаси. Да,это хорошее расположение. Но когда компания Мандарин решила открыть свой отель в Токио, ситуация была другая. Кв.Нихонбаси был не известен заграницей, и японцы считали его городом любителей классических вещей. Т.е. его любили почти только старые.

Многие других международных сетей отеля выбрали квартал, который уже был известным в мире, или, в котором много фирм и большой вокзал, или, в котором стоят лучшие японские отели. А Нихонбаси был совсем не таким.

 

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo stands in a good location next to Nihonbashi Mitsui Main Building, opposite Coled Muromachi. However, among the foreign-affiliated hotels that have expanded around 2000, Nihonbashi is quite unique. The selection of construction sites for other luxury hotels is divided into three categories as a trend.

①Areas that are world-famous and have many foreigners (Roppongi, Ginza, etc.)

②Around stations (Tokyo, Shinjuku, Shinagawa, etc.) where office buildings are lined up and multiple routes enter.

③A land near a Japanese luxury hotel where you can pick up customers overflowing from there

 

Nihonbashi at that time did not apply to any of them. Nowadays, after the Japanese history boom, the number of repeat visitors has increased, and the trend of "Real Japan" has been born, spotlighting Japanese history and tradition, Nihonbashi, one of Edo's best economic bases, has gained attention, and redevelopment has regained its vitality, but Nihonbashi town when Mandarin Oriental decided to enter Tokyo was a reluctant image of "like old things."

 

 

Почему построили отель здесь? Я задавала этот вопрос менеджеру отеля. Он ответил сразу.

« Sense of Place » - это основная идея компании.

Компания в основе идея « Sense of Place » выбирают место. Ей важно, как хорошо можно знать историю и чувствовать душу местных, когда определить расположение. По такому мнению, сразу решили открыть отель именно в Нихонбаси, где можно познакомиться с душой Токио и Эдо(старое название г. Токио) , не боясь риска. Не так много людей верили тому, что кв.Нихонбаси опять получит большую популярность как на эпохе Эдо и будет таким прекрасным местом, где одновременно живы и мода и традиция.

 

Why was it Nihonbashi in that? Suddenly I was worried and asked the person in charge of the International Sales Department, who was taking care of me at work. The answer came back surprisingly quickly.

―"Sense of Place." This is our basic philosophy.

 

In Mandarin Oriental, based on the philosophy of "Sense of Place", "a place where you can feel the sensitivity and heart of the land and snuggle up to them" is the most important thing when deciding on a location. It was the opinion of the management team that Tokyo = Edo can only be considered as the place to live the most, except Nihonbashi. There must have been a risk. At that time, how many people were convinced that Nihonbashi would be so lively?

 

 

Компания не слышала вмешательство, а сама глубоко изучала о Токио. Она была уверена в своим решение и сделала большую инвестицию. Такой путь на гэмблинге любили люди в Эдо во время сёгуната. Вот это интересно. В Нихонбаси живет душа Эдо даже в отеле иностранной сети. После прогулка в энергичным кв. Нихобаси отдыхаете в самом отеле или кофе внутри отеля, тагда чувствуете местное сердце.

 

Even if he was not swept away by information, dig deeper, even if he lost temporary momentum, he believed in the history and self that he had accumulated and went to the game-I thought it was smart. It is perfect for Nihonbashi, a place where the style still lives. In Nihonbashi, you can also meet "Iki" at foreign hotels.

 

There is only a first-class hotel that keeps 5 stars in Forbes magazine, the price is high, but it is worth paying. Located in a skyscraper, with an exotic atmosphere, it has a calm and comfortable atmosphere like the porch at dusk. Why don't you take a break after enjoying the vibrancy of Edo?
