It is a new bridge at the mouth of the Sumida River, but I have also seen the bridge. It was a masterpiece to see a large crane ship appearing around 6:30 am on May 8 (Thursday) with a 120m long bridge center hanging around.

The Sumida River has a large number of ships operating, so it seems that a bridge girder was made in another place to shorten the operation suspension period and brought to this place and installed it.

No, the figure after the bridge is also quite good.

In parallel with this bridge work, the name of the bridge is also being recruited.

Application forms are distributed at Chuo-ku government offices, etc., and can also be downloaded from the following Chuo-ku URL.
The application qualification is those who are related to Chuo-ku (resident, working, attending school), but if you can apply, please give a good name. It is until May 20 (Tuesday).

This year, I wanted to eat wild vegetables as tempura.
I looked for a supermarket in the neighborhood, but it wasn't easy to put it, and when I looked back, I don't remember seeing it very much.
According to various research, Kachidoki is doing a "market" called "marche of the Sun" once a month, and on the 10th and 11th of this month, a wild vegetable trader will also participate.

Blessed with the weather, the venue was crowded with many people.

The wild vegetable shop I was looking for was very kind and taught me a lot about how to eat it.
It was quite reasonable.

There are many special stalls, and we decided to buy kebab and tof burger here for lunch and eat it in Harumi Triton.

I didn't have an eat space.

But......

When we arrive at Harumi Triton, there is also a stall here.
If you look closely, thinking about something, the "Harumi Haruki Call Festival" is being held, and this is also quite busy.

Mr. Pepo was also very excited about the festival.
It was very hot, so I thought it was hard.

I've seen Mr. Pepo's hard work last year.

　
I had the wild vegetable tempura at home, but it was truly exquisite, such as taranome, kogomi, and Ezo Japanese knotweed.
I was surprised that wild plants are so delicious.

 On May 10 and 11, "marche of the Sun" was held at Tsukishima Daini Children's Park.

At the Aozora Market, which started in September 2013, about 100 stores from all over Japan open each time with the theme of local vegetables and seasonal ingredients according to the season, and is crowded with nearly 20,000 visitors, making it one of the largest urban marche in Japan.

The theme this time is "Koshu Wine and Japanese Food".

"Koshu Wine" is gaining worldwide reputation, including the registration of "Koshu" as a grape variety in the international wine screening organization OIV in 2010, receiving numerous awards at international wine competitions, and starting exports to Europe.

On the other hand, Japanese food was registered in UNESCO Intangible Cultural Property last year.

Various combinations of "Koshu wine" and "Japanese food" and how to enjoy it are proposed.

The wineries that participated this time were 1 Sadya in Yamanashi Prefecture, 2 Yamanashi Ryohin, 3 East Chen Yoshu, 4 Central Wine, 5 Maruki Wine, 6 Katsunuma Wine, 7 Grape Shop kofu, 8 Tsuruya Brewery 9 Sanyo Brewery 10 Yamanashi Fermentation.

Yamanashi Prefecture's wine culture includes "Isho bottle wine", "Wine drink in teacup", and "Wine drink with Japanese food".

According to the history, in Yamanashi, wine was encouraged and produced as part of a policy of breeding and industry in the early Meiji era. Yamanashi's wine culture is said to have started with Issho bottles, and gradually penetrates from ceremonial occasions to daily dinners. At one time, it was shipped outside the prefecture, but with 720/750ml becoming mainstream, most of it now is said to be for local people.

In addition, it is common to drink wine with a glass, but it is said that many people drink wine in the familiar "teacup" because of the flow of sake.

(A cup of tea bowl is also attached to the side of the display of the one sho bottle in the booth.)

The roots of "appetizers" in the local area are said to be "boiled" or "pickles", but the characteristic of the taste of "Koshu wine" is "delicacy", "decreased" and "cooperation". In other words, it seems that it is easy to match with any dish.

"Issho bottle wine to drink in teacup with Japanese food" "Koshu wine style" is also fun to interact with different cultures.

There is a shop in Tsukishima, Chuo-ku that makes local Hawaiian food dishes.

The name of the shop is "MAIKAI KITCHEN".

In this shop, we make Hawaiian local foods such as "poki" (fried seafood seasoned with onions and other vegetables), "garlic shrimp", and "spammusubi".

In addition, there are more than 10 kinds of lunch boxes such as Lokomoko and Mahimahi fly.

All lunch boxes are free of charge!

It seems good to enjoy a picnic while having a lunch box at Ishikawajima Park and Tsukuda Park in Tsukuda right next to the terrace along the Sumida River and Tsukishima.♪

Sweets include the hot topic "Asai Bowl", "Asai Smoothie" and "Malasada".

Hawaiian miscellaneous goods are also on sale.

Kachidoki is the southernmost part of the Sumida River Terrace, but from this Kachidoki terrace, you can see Tokyo Tower.
You can see the Tokyo Sky Tree from various places, but there are surprisingly few places where you can see Tokyo Tower, so it is rare? ？ It's a place.

It is also introduced in the smartphone app "Tokyo Chuo-ku Town Walking Map".

I can see the vast space of the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, but I really like the view from here because you can see Roppongi Hills beside the tower and Tsukiji Market in front of you. In particular, the night view is too luxurious.

We are now building a new bridge here, and the construction of a bridge girder from both banks was completed before Golden Week. It seems that the middle part will finally be installed at the end of Golden Week.

After this installation work is completed, the scenery of Tokyo Tower, which had been seen until now, will change, and the scenery of the bridge will be added to create a new landscape. It's a bit lonely that it's fun and at the same time loses the scenery so far. Conversely, this Golden Week is the last chance to see the scenery without a bridge.
If you're coming close to this Golden Week, why don't you go to Kachidoki and see the scenery of Tokyo Tower and the bridge?
