 Haven't you eaten meat recently decreased?

 We also recommend this one-selling No.1, Jumbo Steak 300g ¥1,280 (Inclus consumption tax).

Even small students whose gums are slightly weakened can be chewed and eaten, and the medium rare baking, salt and pepper taste, and the sauce of grated radish are exquisite and increase appetite.

Before ordering, I thought I could eat 300g, but it was delicious.

One of the women was also casually entering and eating.

The shop is located on the 1st basement floor of the same building as the LIXIL Book Gallery. Click here for more information.

Today (April 29), I watched "Emperor Meiji and Russo-Japanese War" (113 minutes, 35mm, color).

meiji201805.JPG

This movie is said to be a masterpiece made by Shin Toho by betting company luck. Kanjuro Arashi, a great star of historical drama, was selected as the role of Emperor Meiji and became a big topic.

It was almost full on the day, and it was no wonder that Emperor Meiji's products, general Nogi's Chinese poems, and songs from the time, which were inserted at key points of the movie, made me feel the times and became an unprecedented hit.

In addition to this, there are plenty of works scheduled to be screened, ranging from valuable recorded images from the Meiji period to those dealing with Sakamoto Ryoma, Kurama Tengu, Kanichi and Miya, Tsuta and Shuetsu Hayase.

Kyohashi Tsugane

[Silver] May 3, 2018 12:00

 "Kyohashiman Tsugane" is selling something called "Shifuku's Surimono".

DSCN0732 (400x300). jpg

 The contents of Shifuku are Ichifuku's red seal book / delivery book, Nifuku's print business card / copper plate business card, Sanpuku's Edo tool, and Shifuku's Edomachi fire extinguisher Nishiki-e.

I also saw a red stamp book for Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods. (The upper one is before use, the lower one is after the seal of vermilion seal stamp)

DSCN0733 (400x300). jpg

 It seems that the fire extinguishing in the Kyobashi district is "Segumi". I've heard a lot of stories about fire extinguishing.

On the fire extinguisher, there is a mark drawn with the meaning of "turn off".

DSCN0737.JPG

 I also heard such a story.

In the symbol on the map, the seal of the bank is weights. It seems that it was determined from the design of the weight (: weight) used in the scale, which was the mark of the exchange merchant (Ryo Gaesho), which was the old bank. Weights are a good symbol because they represent fairness and accuracy.

 For the story of Edogu and Edo, visit the shop and hear a fun story. For more information, please visit our website.

[Chuo-ku to enjoy with children] #20: Washroom for Infants (Nihonbashi Sanzen Echizen)

[Dye] May 3, 2018 09:00

It's a good season with the day of going out.

    

I want my children to have a lot of fun experiences, but when I think about breastfeeding and restrooms on the go, my waist may become heavy....(^^;)
However, Chuo-ku has a nursing room somewhere, such as department stores, and I think it is a city that is friendly to children.

    

Chibi in my home has become a little older brother, so I haven't taken care of the nursing room, but there is a new problem....

   

It's a toilet.

   

Because the infant is small, I can't sit in the adult toilet.
It's hard because I don't have enough feet....(´・ω・`)

   

If I thought it was, I found such a restroom in the underground passage in front of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi! ! !

     

It's a washroom for infants! !

   

s51_01.jpg s51_02.jpg

A cute small size ^^

    

s51_03.jpg

Mr. Chibi can wash his hands easily.

     

It is difficult to explain the location, but when you exit the ticket gate of Tokyo Metro "Mitsukoshi-mae", the underground passage spreads out, and it is on the way to JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station.
It's in front of the underground entrance of "YUITO".

If you don't have such a type depending on your child, please refer to it.☆

       

 

 

Walk along the ruins of Higashiboriru River!

[Hikoharu Co., Ltd.] May 1, 2018 14:00

I think everyone knows the Higashiboriru River, but it seems that it was originally the mouth of the Shakujii River.

"The former Shakujii estuary, which lost the flow from the upstream, will play a central role in boating as a riverbank connecting to the Nihonbashi River, once again maintaining Isecho moat (Nishiborirugawa) and Horiecho Iribori (Higashiborirugawa). It will be. " "From Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library Local Room Newsletter No. 156"

I thought it was a moat that had been drilled from the Nihonbashi River as a cargo listing in Edo.

This time, I'm planning to walk along the ruins of Higashibori Tsurukawa.

IMG_1257.JPG

This information board is the information board at the site of Nishibori Rugawa at 1-chome Kobunamachi. The Higashiboriru River is the river on the right of the information board. There were three bridges on the Higashiboriru River, from the Nihonbashi River to Shisha Bridge, Father Bridge, and Manbashi. Unfortunately, it was reclaimed in 1949, and now you cannot see these bridges. Speaking of Shishibashi, it is said that it came to be called Shishibashi because I wondered whether to go to Yukaku or the theater in the early Edo period. The photo below is a photo of Shizuka Bridge in the early Taisho era.

IMG_1228.JPG IMG_1229.JPG

There was still a sluice gate at the connection point of the Nihonbashi River. This part is Koamicho Children's Amusement Park, and there is a public toilet in this park, but this area is the place where the thought bridge was located. The bend condition of the alley in the photo on the right matches the bending condition of the Higashiboriru River on the map above.

 

In the building facing this alley, you can still see "warehouse architecture" arranged in a modern style.

IMG_1292.JPG IMG_1303.JPG

When the Higashiboriru River used to be, there would have been many warehouses near this area.

Personally, the "Horidome" exhibition of "Edo Famous Zoukai" came to my mind.

IMG_1277.JPG

And it's near my father. The Higashiboriru River stretched from the front of the photo to the direction of the red light at the intersection. And this photo is also a photo of Father's Bridge in the early Taisho era. Of course, you can only see a two-story building.

"-Jinemon Shoji Jinemon, Jinemon, was called to the town of magistrate's office, and everyone in the rows, including Sadamori Honda, were all called their fathers and fathers, so people also heard and called them their fathers, and in November 1628, when Jinemon's initiative built a bridge that crossed Yoshiwara from the Edo area to Yoshiwara, he called him. "

The name of the bridge was related to Motoyoshihara, both Shishi Bridge and Father Bridge. Even today, people can be seen as Nihonbashi in Chuo-ku, but it would have been a bridge where many people came and went in the early Edo period.

Then, going straight at the intersection of the red light leads to Horidome Children's Park.

It is said that the river width of the Higashiboriru River was almost the same as this park.

IMG_1238.JPG IMG_1244.JPG

IMG_1239.JPG IMG_1247.JPG

At present, it seems that an emergency water tank for disaster countermeasures is buried underground in this park. And at the end of the park is the Nihonbashi Health Center. The Nihonbashi Health Center was built on the ruins of the Higashiboriru River, but a part of the building was piloti, and it was structured as if it were a river flow. In addition, there were three tile mural paintings on the wall of Piloti.

IMG_1285.JPG IMG_1286.JPG IMG_1287.JPG

I thought this was probably the thought bridge, father bridge, and Manbashi in Higashiborirugawa, so I searched at the library or called the Nihonbashi Health Center to visit, but I didn't know what was clear after all. did. (Thank you to the staff of Nihonbashi Health Center for various research during your work.)

I think it's probably a mural from Nihonbashi this past and present. If you know the details, I would appreciate it if you could give me a professor.

IMG_1283.JPG IMG_1284.JPG

And there is a hotel called Super Hotel next to the Nihonbashi Health Center. At the entrance of the hotel, there was a part of the pierced stone masonry found during the construction of the hotel. It's my personal opinion, but I really felt that I wanted a bigger sign to be a little more prominent. If you walk normally, there will be no one to notice. The area in front of this hotel and Nihonbashi Health Center is where Manbashi was located. And it will be "Horidome" in front of the Nihonbashi Fire Station Horidome Station. Of course, the address will be Nihonbashi Horidomecho, Chuo-ku.

IMG_1264.JPG IMG_1265.JPG

From Koami Children's Amusement Park to the Nihonbashi Fire Station Horidome Branch is the site of the Higashiboridome River.

Although it was a short distance in a flash, it was a town walk that made me feel that there was definitely a river there at the site of the former Higashiboriru River.
