Meat bar Bistro Otokomae Nihonbashi San Echizen store

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 20, 2017 14:00

Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, Nihonbashi Kitazume Intersection is just a short walk from Nihonbashi Kitazume Intersection, but it is a meat restaurant located on the north side of Nishikawabashi on the west side of Nihonbashi.

I'm sorry to bother you at lunch time

There are shops from the first floor to the third floor, and on the second and third floors, you can take off your shoes in a digging tatami room.

The special hamburger set meal, which is limited to 5 meals a day, has already been over.

According to the store manager, lunchtime is from 11:00, so if you do not come by around 11:30, it will end (the next time it will come earlier).

This is the roast pork bowl I ordered.

It is a roast pork bowl of Iberico pork with the finest bejota.

It comes with garlic chips and wasabi, and roast pork matches well with wasabi.

It's soft and delicious

It tastes good.

All lunch comes with soup and salad.

This is the most popular roast beef bowl with a signboard menu.

It is said that they are using misges from rare parts.

This meat is also soft.

You can also respond to orders such as "Increase of meat ()"

otoko005.JPG

For other lunches, there are also appetizing menus such as "butcher meat sauce", "manzen grilled meat curry", "heavy roast beef meat sauce", etc.

Dinner time starts at 5 p.m.

The reputation as a "meat bar" at night is also high, and next time, it is a place where you are wondering whether to come early in the afternoon or at night.

Mr. Nakajima cooperated and agreed on this interview and photography.

Thank you very much

Mitsutsugane Kyobashi Congratulations on the 1st anniversary~

[Tokyo Dumbo] Nov. 20, 2017 09:00

In April of this year, Mr. Mitsugane Kyobashi ordered vermilion seal stamp-wari, but since it was already full, it was newly created. I don't have the back of the ink, and I like it a little large format.

This time it is a shark crest of Edo tradition. The shark small crest is a small crest dyed like a fine hail pattern, and it is a shark skin pattern in which a fine round pattern dyes the entire surface like a shark skin without gaps. It is said that the orderly side by side is a shark, and that it is a shark that is not a shark, Tokyo Dumbo becomes a shark.

About two weeks after asking for the production, I went to pick it up, and a Phalaenopsis orchid with "Congratulations on the first anniversary" was displayed. Although Mitsutsugane Kyobashi has been operating for one year, Kinyosha Printing Office has a history and tradition of nearly 90 years.

BUNGUBOX Kaoru Yamagishi, who sent the first anniversary commemoration, is a pen shop in Hamamatsu, and there is also a Tokyo store in Omotesando. In collaboration with Mr. Yamagishi, he designed and developed the Tokyo Metro coloring book attached to the appendix of the Tokyo Metro color. That's good!

In addition, the Seven Lucky Gods Goshuin Book of Mitsugane, which can store seven "Fuku" in one book. The Seven Lucky Gods depicted are based on Edomachi fire extinguisher Nishiki-e master Okada.

Keep an eye on a number of new developments that focus on Japanese traditions. 

 

I think it's wonderful that there is a shop in Kyobashi where you can feel Japan that I would definitely recommend to foreigners who come to Japan.

  

 

 My husband, Mitsutsugane Kyobashi, who has a wonderful smile.

Waiting Chaya: A turtle's tail

[yaz] Nov. 17, 2017 14:00

According to the gu ticket map (real estate registry) created in 1873, there was a house work called Gorobei Saishu at the corner of Chuo-dori Muromachi 3-chome and Honmachi 3-chome in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku. The size of the land is 187 tsubo. In the Edo period, the residence of the old town "Hikoemon Kitamura" was the house of my junior high school classmate. It seems that he ran a Machiaichaya "Kame no Obi" here. It seems that there is a "Kame no Obi" in the Kabuki performance, so it is imagined that it was a fun place for Nihonbashi Geisha (Hinohara Geisha) to come.

 

At the time of 1830, there was Kitamura Town Elderly Home, but in 1873 it was changed to the nearest home, so it is assumed that late Tokugawa shogunate brought about significant changes throughout the town.

The tail of the turtle jpg 

(Excerpt from the map of 1873)

 

 

In an interview with a rakugo artist about Machiaichaya in the Meiji era, there are still things related to "Kame-no-O".

 

"At that time, the turtle tail of Surugacho, Kotobuki in Nihonbashi, and Shiba were Chitose and Kono three houses. I don't know if I'm outside, but these three houses were the most famous. I called a woman to drink, but I don't sleep as it is now. In order to meet even the Jojin (Iro), there was a cheerful teahouse called Kashiwaya in Sankai, although there was no Yaomatsu or a half planting of Mukaijima Suijin. And in the neighborhood, I was told that I wasn't a fool."

 

The waiting as a rental business originated from the waiting teahouse in the Edo period. Machiai Chaya was a teahouse used for the original waiting, such as gathering merchants and picking up travelers, but since the first year of the Meiji era, it has grown rapidly as a place to play with geisha in Hanayanagi Street.

 

In the survey to date, there is no information about Kabuki's performance "Kame no Obi". We will listen to Mr. Kazuki and approach Kabukiza, so we will inform you as soon as we get the information. Please look forward to it.

 

 

 

Nihonbashi Toyamakan A wonderful handicraft-making sake

[Silver] Nov. 17, 2017 09:00

 Yes, the place is Nihonbashi. 

Nihonbashi Toyamakan is located very close to the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building and Daiei Fudosan, and close to the square on the road front.

On the first floor, a number of crafts and folk crafts that Toyama Prefecture is proud of are exhibited and sold.

Today, in the square of "Nihonbashi Road Mark" which came to Nihonbashi from Kanda.

"I'm a little thirsty. Would you like to drink sake? "A wonderful sister, Masaji, and the other four, who responded to my suggestion, went to Nihonbashi Toyamakan.

 

 I've visited several times, but this is my first time to drink sake here.

I felt like the "Sugitama" that young sake was made and informed that it had arrived.

 Delicious sake made from the clear stream water of the Kurobe River and delicious rice from Toyama are available.

My husbands (sorezore) look at the labels such as Ginme and daiginjo, and are wondering which one to drink.

This is the correct and (&) fun process of "handi sake". Everyone was convinced and impressed by the sake they ordered.

1510130650344.jpg

At the end of Nihonbashi, I stopped and took a break. Enjoy the sake of good sake and relax in Nihonbashi.

Hirodai Nihonbashi Festival

[saru] Nov. 16, 2017 14:00

From October 20 to November 7, the "Kidai Matsuri" was held around the choledo Muromachi and Fukutomi no Mori in Nihonbashi. This is the second time this year. By the way, it is difficult to write, but it is read as "Kidai Matsuri". I guess it was named from the picture scroll "Kidai Shoran" depicting the prosperity of Nihonbashi during the Edo period, which seems to be going to Tokyo Metro Mitsukoshimae Station. It seems that the meaning of "Kyodai Shoran" means "the scenery that is right away", and does it mean that the bustle has been reproduced in modern times?

At the venue, there are antenna shops in various places in Nihonbashi, comparing sake drinking, traditional performances such as Japanese musical instrument performances and kendama, blue sky classes of traditional techniques such as flower arrangement, water drawing, straw work, etc. I was happy to participate.

Under such circumstances, SARU has seen the rakugo "Hyakukawa" of Sanyutei Yuma teacher on a special stage. "Hyakukawa" is the name of a restaurant located in Nihonbashi Ukiyokoji, and is a classic rakugo that tells an interesting story about the turmoil that occurs when the customers of the fish shore misunderstood the national accent of the servant Hyakubei. The stage is in Nihonbashi and Ningyocho, but speaking of that, this is the revived Shin Ukiyokoji. It was a bit chilly and cheerful, but I had a good time to enjoy the arts and laughter.

DSC_1920.JPG

 

 

It's a bit of a serene foot, but along the Hyakukawa.

It is Sanko Shindo that Hyakubei goes to use. Even now, Sanko Inari Shrine in Ningyocho is famous for losing cats. (Photo below) It seems that the Edo period was the beginning of the pet era, and it was not a cat samurai, but there were many lost cats.

It was the place where we fought against Godzilla last year.

[Koedo Itabashi] Nov. 16, 2017 09:00

"What you can see on your left is the east exit of Tokyo Station.

In 2016, Godzilla, who landed from Yuigahama in Kamakura, stopped moving due to a freezing operation.

Due to the rain today, it is difficult to see the sky above the Grand Roof, but it is 118.5m long.

What a scary figure of Godzilla that evolved into the fourth form?"

 

On October 29, I was in charge of a tour bus guide for "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2017".

From the Ginza 6-chome bus stop, go north on Sotobori-dori St., turn right at the Gofuku Bridge intersection and head to Nihonbashi bus stop.

The currently running Sotobori-dori St. is the border with Chiyoda-ku.

On the west side of Tokyo Station, there is a red brick Marunouchi station building, which has been restored 100 years ago when it was designed by Dr. Kingo Tatsuno.

At the east side of Yaesu Exit, there is a large roof inspired by sailing ships, a Grand Roof, but the whole picture is hard to see clearly through the window of the bus that comes due to rain.

If you can't see it, let's talk that you can't see.

(Shin Godzilla has already been broadcast on terrestrial waves, but it is noteworthy.)

 

Godzilla has appeared from Tokyo Bay and has caused enormous damage to various places.

With the heat rays exhaled out of the mouth, the Wako Building in Ginza 4-chome was cut diagonally in an instant.

Godzilla, a devastating god that causes catastrophic damage to the Tokyo metropolitan area, becomes huge and violent.

Self-Defense Forces, police, fire departments, engineers, and various departments continue to take action to death.

Godzilla freezing operation. It's an operation. It will be a great deal.

The two trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen N700 series, which had been waiting in Shinagawa on the "Space War March", enter the foot of Godzilla. It's an unmanned bullet train bomb.

The first unit of special construction heavy equipment group attempted to approach from Yaesu Street or from Kajibashi Street.

Concrete pump trucks and tank trucks put blood coagulants into the mouth of Godzilla.

Trains on the Yamanote Line, Keihin Tohoku Line, Tokaido Main Line, and Chuo Line Rapid Trains that enter at full speed to suppress the rough Godzilla. It is an unmanned conventional line bomb consisting of the E231 series and E233 series.

Sir.

It is wrapped like a chain to control the movement of Godzilla.

Surely, in preparation for the next operation, the Sobu Line, Yokosuka Line, and Tokyo Metro vehicles running underground must have been prepared for attack.

Godzilla stopped its activities on a track near the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station.

 

"Now, I can't see Godzilla at Tokyo Station.

If you would like to see it, that's right. Please go to Shinjuku Kabukicho.

From the top of the Shinjuku Toho Building, your predecessor Godzilla is looking into your face.

By the way, Shinjuku-ku has issued a special resident's card and has been appointed as a special envoy of Shinjuku sightseeing.

It's amazing."

I was so excited to say this.
