　We took a walk around Tsukuda 1-chome before noon in the fine autumn weather.　

　Cats also take a nap on the bench of a liquor store.

　Visit the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, head to the Sumida River, turn left at the torii gate and walk.

　　The whistle of the ship resonates. ・・・・・

Beyond the right bank is the Sumida River. ・・・・・・

　

　If you go shortly, the sound of a big ventilation fan turns.

And the pure white water vapor makes a "bo-bo" sound and comes out of the house.

　The whole area is filled with savory soy sauce.　My stomach has decreased, and in the direction of smelling.

　"Welcome" A full-fledged "Edoben" with a high tail.

　The source of the scent is goby Tsukudani. At the back of the store, it was in the middle of the store.

　　　

　

　When I asked the landlady, he said that he was always ready by this time.

 

　Here Tsukuda is the birthplace of Tsukudani.

　In 1590, Ieyasu Tokugawa was relocated to the Kanto region, and then the residents of Tsukuda moved here from Osaka to Ieyasu. It is said that he started making Tsukishima and Tsukudani in 1645.

　

It seems that this shop has been making Tsukudani for generations since the first generation Genemon.

　With the scent of Tsukudani that goes to the store and the story of the history ... a time slip to Edo immediately.

　All of Tsukudani is sold by weight. Clams, shirasu, and leaf peppers are all cooked.

The color is different. I'm curious. Good soy sauce so that you can buy it right away and open the bag.

Scent.

　・・・ It was a full-fledged Edo-mae Tsukudani that goes well with beer and sake.

Finally, let me know. The patrol bus goes around a route where public transportation such as the metropolitan bus does not pass much, so it is a chance to discover a new Chuo-ku from the train window. In addition, a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association will guide you on the bus, so you may be able to hear special tourist information. 。 。

Please look forward to it!

 This year, October 25 is September 13 in old calendar, thirteen nights.

Also known as "Kurinamezuki" and "Mamenamezuki".

The fifteenth night (mid-autumn moon) is called the "previous moon", the thirteenth night is called the "later moon", and the two moons are collectively called the "two nights (Futayo)". A moon-viewing custom that has long been popular with Japanese people as a feature of autumn.

The lack of moon viewing on one side of the fifteenth and thirteenth nights is called "Kata Mizuki", and it is said that he hates.

Around September 13 in old calendar is generally climatically fresh and can be compared to "no cloudy on the thirteenth night."

The northern wind strengthened nationwide from the night of the 24th, and the first tree withering was observed in the city center, and the fine weather was clear on the 25th.

A beautiful moon shines beside the window lights of the lit-up condominiums of Chuo-ohashi Bridge River City.

The phases of the moon serve as a calendar for the people of agricultural culture and have a history of being valued.

It is imagined that worshiping the moon and offering gratitude was more integrated into people's lives than ever.

The thirteenth night is one step before the full moon.

It is also interesting to love a slightly chipped shape.

It's a bit different from the fifteenth night.

 

 

On the day when the tree wilt No. 1 blows, I took a look at Happy Halloween on Tsukishima Monja Street.

 

Children dressed in various fashions carry large bags, go around each shop to get sweets and starters.

 

I was receiving a stamp from the poppy. Some adults and others were disguised.

 

Spiderman, princess, turtles, etc.

 

On the way back, a group of high-rise apartments looked up from the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge column towered in the sky without clouds.

 

The signboard of a long-established Tsukudaniya on Tsukuda Island was also reflected, and I felt the contrast between modern and history.

 

It's my favorite scenery.

 

　　　

 

　　

 

 

　

 

 

　Halloween parties in Japan have become quite familiar and are being held in various places.

In Chuo-ku, Halloween events on Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori are popular.

As I walked along the Nishinaka-dori shopping street today, I noticed a banner of the announcement.

　It seems that there is an event where children participate and get a sweets called "Trick or treaty" and go around the shop.

The date and time is from 13:00 to 16:00 on October twenty-fifth.

Reservation is required. It's a charge of ￥300. The telephone you are applying for is 03-3532-1990.

　It was 2009 that I went to Halloween for the first time.

Here is the article that reported the pattern at that time, but the photo of beautiful Tsukishima has disappeared, but you can see the photos of cute children and feel the atmosphere of a fun event.

There are also delicious monjayaki, too.　Please go out. Postscript: One of the 63rd Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival

"Happy Halloween Week" started on October 23.

According to a flyer obtained at Tokyo Metro Shintomicho Station this morning, there are many events in the shopping streets of each town, Nihonbashi Takashimaya, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, Ginza Mitsukoshi, Harumi Triton, etc.

 

 

　"I'm going to listen to it in the crowds of the station with an accent of my hometown."

 

 This song is famous because Takuboku Ishikawa wrote it, but recently there have been many antenna shops in Tokyo, and in conversations at each store, I can hear nostalgic dialects and feel smiling.

Recently, at the storefront in Kochi, "Oh, it's been a long time! For the first time in 15 years. I also heard conversations like ".

Also, at Nihonbashi Fukushimakan MIDETTE, we were able to hear fun information from elderly female customers next to each other, such as "The announcer of the commercial TV station is the daughter of sake brewing."

　Among the people who visit antenna shops in each prefecture, not only people in Tokyo, but also people in Tokyo.

Many people come out in search of their hometown dialects and tastes they are accustomed to since childhood.

As I walked while thinking about such things, I encountered a cheerful "Urikamome-san" at the intersection of Ginza 2-chome on Sotobori-dori St.

I heard that I had a friend I met at the antenna shop and enjoyed shopping and stamp rally again this year.

A tour of the antenna shop will make you healthy both physically and mentally. Let's continue to enjoy it. Silver
