The sign of a cat behind the alley is a landmark.

The hideaway atmosphere of the gallery overlaps with the image of a cat, creating a good atmosphere.

A little long day of New American correspondent. ~ Chuo-ku Whole Museum 2017 Part 3 ~

[Edamame] Nov. 11, 2017 14:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

Two times before → /archive/2017/11/post-4725.html

Last time → /archive/2017/11/post-4730.html


By the way, we took a free tour bus guided by another correspondent to Nihonbashi.

Listening to other people's guidance also discovers the difference from yourself, so it's a study.

And the number of bus passengers was a little more than the morning flight I was on.

I realized that there were many people who enjoyed the event even in the rain.

We arrived at Nihonbashi.

I'm looking for ...

DSC_2193-1.jpg

Here you.

This is the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.

http://nihonbashi-info.tokyo/tourism/

It is a facility where a senior correspondent was introduced before.

/archive/2017/10/post-4644.html

Here's the event I was doing here.

DSC_2195-1.jpg

Events using smartphones and tablet devices

This is "The Mystery Solving Nihonbashi Tour".


・・That's why.

Originally, "People who solved the mystery and found the answer during the day will receive a gift by lottery ..."

However, due to bad weather, the lottery was canceled.

Instead, do you?

I hope you can enjoy the mystery itself until the end of November.

It seems that they will leave an "information terminal" for solving the mystery in the city.

So Edamame brought back the pamphlet to solve the mystery,

I decided to walk around the city on a sunny day later.

※The pamphlet is still being distributed at the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.



And then.

As a whole museum project

"Event stamp rally" was held.

DSC_2229-1.jpg

There are several places to install stamps in the event venue.

If you collect more than three, you can participate in a lottery without empty lottery.

Edamame until this time

Hamacho Disaster Prevention Pier

Asashio Canal Ship landing

Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center

I was getting stamps at three places.

DSC_2230-1.jpg

Head to the lottery venue on the 1st floor of Choredo Nihonbashi.

・・As a result ...

It was "C Award".

There is no gap, but the bottom prize.

What can I get? If you think

There was something like this.

DSC_2194-1.jpg

Friction-colored pencil!

I knew the friction ballpoint pen that would disappear when rubbed.

I guess it's a color pencil!

It's a PILOT product headquartered in Kyobashi, right?

To my daughter, Azuki (2 years old), who has been answering with my dad at home all the time

It's going to be a good souvenir.


It's getting worse, so I'm going home around here.

It was also a day I wished to be involved in a fun event next year and have fun.

・・I hope the weather will be nice next year! !

Cored Muromachi 2 B1F DELI FLOOR ~ by Today

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2017 16:00

On the first basement floor of COREDO Muromachi 2, there are many restaurants that call "DELI FLOOR ~ by Today ~".

1509684047935.jpg

Today it's alone, so I decided to be a shop with a reasonable price, "Jun Chicken Nagoya Cochin Chicken Miwa Choledo Muromachi Store".

1509684692840.jpg

 Of course, the order is "Nagoya Cochin's Oyakodon" and ¥1296 including consumption tax. As expected, it was a crunchy natural wrinkle and chicken texture. I'm very satisfied.

1509684701048.jpg

 The restaurant area on the 2nd floor is also recommended, but I think that "~ DELI FLOOR ~ by Today ~" on the first basement floor is good for you to eat alone.

 

 

"Nichimotohashi Shigenomi" - Restaurant in Shiga antenna shop "Koko Shiga"

1. Nov. 10, 2017 09:00

100_2556.JPG

As the 27th store of the antenna shop in Chuo-ku, Shiga Prefecture's information dissemination base "Koko Shiga" opened on October 29 at the corner of Nihonbashi intersection. It's a two-story building with a rooftop terrace. I came in the first week after a little calming down. We are looking for a restaurant "Shinomi" (Jinomi) on the second floor. It seems to have repeated the meaning of "nourishment" of Shiga Prefecture and nourishment.

 

The number of seats is 34, and the view is good just below the Nihonbashi intersection. There are four types of lunch menus, "Chicken Jun Jun Tamaki Tojidon" 1,000 yen "Delicious sour soup noodles" 1,000 yen, "Oomi Ichiju Sansai Set Meal" 1200 yen, "Oomi beef set meal" 2,800 yen. "Junjun" is said to be "Junjun" in Shiga Prefecture, a pot seasoned like sukiyaki is called Junjun. I was fascinated by this, but "Oomi" would be "Oomi beef"! That's why it's a luxurious lunch, but many people thought about the same thing, and I heard a voice saying "Oomi beef is the end." In the Edo era, meat was banned face-to-face, but the only beef production was allowed was the Hikone clan, dedicated beef pickled in miso to the general, and Yahee Horibe, the oldest 76-year-old when Oishi built-in assistant defeated, It is also famous that he gave miso pickles, "To nourish the body." Is it a big curing drug under the name of "Ari Honmaru" (Hempongan)? It seems that he was selling it. I have read a rare theory that Naosuke Ii refused to say, "I want the Mito clan to send it to us," which was the distant cause of "the change outside Sakuradamon." "It will take 20 minutes," he said. Around the sliced beef, grilled Oomi vegetables are lined up colorfully. It was my first time grilling red turnip and radish, but it's so delicious that I'll try it next time. The meat comes with horseradish, salt and gray beer sauce.

100_2558.JPG 100_2557.JPG

 

There are many seats, so if you avoid Saturdays and Sundays, you can enter without waiting too much. locally brewed sake bar is located near the entrance, so you can enjoy 33 different brands along with simple tidbits. There are also various opening commemorative events such as the "Oomi Rice Omusubi Contest" (held from November 12th to 25th), so please take a look when you go to Nihonbashi.
