Tsukishima B-class Gourmet (other than Monja)

[Chuo Kotaro] June 27, 2016 18:00

 Speaking of Tsukishima, it would be "Monja", but this time the B-class gourmet of Tsukishima hidden.

I've eaten "lever fry" and "simmered" together, so I'll report it.

  

■Lever fly
 
A correspondent's Bible? According to "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia,"

At the beginning of the Taisho era, "meat fry", which was sold at stalls on Nishinaka-dori, began, and then became lever fry.
I've always wanted to eat it once because it's a local gourmet of Tsukishima.

  

Only two stores that offer lever fry in Tsukishima, "Aji no royal road" and "Hisagoya Abe" were confirmed.

 

The royal road of taste is an izakaya style, so you can enjoy it with beer in the store.
In the story of my husband, in addition to the two stores, "Gen (? I'm going to do a shop called ""
I heard that there was, but I couldn't find it (although I heard about most places).
For some reason, I couldn't find it on the net (something is wrong).
The locals bought a lever fly at a supermarket for dinner, and the landlady of "Genki" mentioned later said.

In the past, there were more lever fly shops, but with the aging of the shop owners, most of them were knocked down. I'm sorry. If you don't take it home, you don't know if there are restaurants that can be ordered as side menus at other restaurants, but we haven't confirmed it.

 

This time, I tried lever fry on both the royal road of taste and the Hisago family Abe.

 

The royal road of taste uses cow lever, and what is cooked like a cutlet is served as lever fly. I'm not on the skewer. According to my husband, it was first sold at "Lever Katsu", but in Tsukishima, it was better to use lever fly, so I decided here. Corridor type that leaves the streak and do not leave the streak (croquette?) You can enjoy two types, type.

I ordered "Lebareba" where you can enjoy both in one dish. This time, we enjoyed it with beer in the store.
※I've eaten a piece of food. I'm sorry. 。 。

Hisagoya Abe is a long-established store for over 50 years and preserves the traditional taste.
We specialize in take-out, use pork liver, and stick it on a skewer.
Although it is specialized in take-out, there is a bench at the front of the store, so you can sit and eat there.

I ordered only one, enjoyed it with the provided pungent, and wrapped 4 bottles for take-out.
Hisago Abe used to be on Tsukishima in the past, but now he has moved to Tsukuda, so please note that his current address will be Tsukuda.

■Stewed

I heard from the owner of the royal road of taste that if you look for something other than "Monja" in Tsukishima, there is "simmered".

It is said that "Genki" with stewed motsu is good.
Also, it seems that the Tsukishima style is skewered and boiled.

 

I went to "Genki" too.

From Nishinaka-dori to the road on the side of Kiyosumi-dori, it is a small shop facing a certain alley, with only round chairs lined up on a small counter, giving the best atmosphere.

If you ask "Can I order" without knowing that it is preparing before opening the store?
"I haven't yet, but I've come all the way," I ate only three bottles.
The three are "cow motsu (small intestine)", "cow fuwa (lung)" and "cow nankotsu".
It was also delicious. It's rare, isn't it?
(I thought it would be great if it was with beer, but I refrained from it because it was before opening. 。)

In addition, it is basic to bring drinks in Genki, and the style is to order dishes (simmered on skewers) at the restaurant. (If you don't have enough drinks, you should order highball and sake.)

※Excuse me. Genki-san forgot to take pictures of both the dishes and the shops. 。 。
 Please imagine from the sentence

 

Both lever fried and stewed are the best companions of sake (especially beer?) 。
The Tsukishima area (also in Tsukuda) still has many old Showa townscapes, narrow alleys and trees at the eaves.
There's a lot of signboard architecture.

In addition to monja, they eat lever fry and stew in a Showa atmosphere.
Why don't you enjoy it?

 

 

 

Think about the bridge

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] June 23, 2016 09:00

Kachidokibashi Kachidokibashi, Eitai Bridge Eitaibashi, Kiyosubashi Kiyoshibashi are pronounced as "~bashi", but the nameplates of the bridge are "Kachidokihashi", "Eitaihashi", "Kiyoshihashi". It is written.

For a long time, the pronunciation of "~bashi" is usually cloudy, but I was wondering why the nameplate is written as "~hashi".

This means that the turbid pronunciation of "~bashi" does not mean that the turbidity of the river leads to the turbidity (from a commentary on a TV program).

So, I saw the nameplates of some bridges in Chuo-ku whether they were "~bashi" or "~hashi".

I thought there were many things that wrote "~hashi", but as far as I checked it, it was about the same.

 

 

Child care on the street corner, oriental greenfinch parent and child

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] June 20, 2016 18:00

It was in late May last month

On the way to Tsukishima Subway Station, I was waiting for a traffic light at the pedestrian crossing of Tsukuda Nikita.

On the other side, there is an uncle who is going to get off the bicycle and look up.

You can hear a very loud voice like Peppy, too.

Then, when I searched for that voice immediately, when planting condominiums,

oriental greenfinch's chicks cling to the thin branches that are likely to reach if they reach out!

Correspondent blog oriental greenfinch 2.jpgMy parents are busy with two birds.

Correspondent blog oriental greenfinch. jpgCorrespondent blog oriental greenfinch 1.jpgBoth cars and buses come and go, leading to the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station.

It's quite a bit of an urban child-raising.

Mr. oriental greenfinch's child-rearing period is as fast as two weeks.

I want you to grow up with peace of mind.

This year's Tsukishima Kusa City is Saturday, July 9 and 10 (Sun)!            Tsukishima Kusaichi Market - Coming this July 9th and 10th!

[HK] June 20, 2016 14:00

In the past, when the tray approached, there was a market that sold tray products such as roasting, saws, and brooms, which was the beginning of the city. Today, more than 100 stores have been opened by member stores in the local shopping district, and local products have also been gathered on Tsukishima, making it a grass market that can be enjoyed by children and adults.

 

In the old days, when people began to prepare for a three day Obon Holiday (Buddhist holiday which is told that the soul of the ancestors return to their family), quipments to decorate and greet the souls at home were sold at the temporary Kusaichi Market.  Now, Tsukishima Kusaichi Market has become a festive event which does not only sell ritual goods. Over a hundred of delightful booths selling varieties of goods are prepared by the member stores during the period, and everyone from adults to children enjoy the event.

This year's event will be held from 14:00 to 20:30 on Saturday, July 9 and 10 (Sun), and from 13:00 on the 9th of the first day, there will be an opening event by Tsukuda Junior High School Tsukishima Taiko Club.

In addition, preparations are being made in the local shopping street for various briefings, workshops, and dealing with lost children on the day for Kusaichi.

Last year, there will be about 32,000 visitors, and there will surely be many this year. I'm looking forward to it.

 

This year, Tsukishima Kusaichi Market is scheduled on July 9th and 10th from 2:00pm to 8:30pm. On the first day of July 9th, there will be a drum performance by Tsukuda Junior High School students from 1pm.  Currently, the booth arrangers are preparing and training for the safety and organized operation during the event including lost child care.

Last year, nearly 32,000 people visited the event and maybe this year more.

So, why don't you come and join!

That voice, Mr. Onaga

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] June 20, 2016 12:00

The beginning of today's awakening to the singing of the birds

It's a time when the cute and slightly livelyness and the river surface of the Sumida River sparkle.

 

That's a big one, sir.

The owner of a wild voice that blows drowsiness is ... Onaga.

Correspondent blog Onaga June. jpgThe black cap and the white accent of the long light blue tail feather is wonderful!

It is a bird that can be seen all year round, and he likes near human life and does not live in a real natural forest.

That's why they come to our parks in Tokyo.

Correspondent blog June Onaga 3.jpgAnd strangely, since 1980, I can't see it here in West Japan.

For birdwatchers in Kansai, it's one of the birds you'd like to see!

You can see such a precious Onaga around us~.

Correspondent blog June Onaga 2.jpgIf you hear it's guyy,

Why don't you look for Mr. Onaga?

 

 

Cat-loving paradise "Nekoya"                           Cat Lovers' Paradise, "Nekoya"

[HK] June 15, 2016 09:00

Tsukishima is famous for its banonja, but did you know that there is a specialty store for cat goods?

It may not be famous for enthusiasts, but this shop is basically open only on Saturdays and Sundays, so many people don't know it yet?

Nishinaka Shopping Street is located in a narrow alley, and on weekends cat lovers gather regardless of men and women of all ages.

  

Tsukishima is famous for "Monja (Japanse soul food)", but did you know that there practically is a very special select shop for cat goods collectors? If you are a maniac, you might already be aware of, but since this shop only opens on Saturdays and Sundays, a lot of people might not know.

CIMG1432.JPGCIMG1438.JPG

 

 

If you step into the cat shop, you will be absorbed in tasteful cat goods. Products are available in Japan and overseas.

 

If you step into the shop, you will be taken away with the irrisitible cats/goods surrounding you. The goods are supplyed worldwide.

There are also cat shop original products, some of which can only be purchased at this store.

 

There are some original products that you can only buy at "Nekoya".

Personally, I like the system, so my eyes stopped like this.

 

I have a weakness for lazy cats.

CIMG1489.JPG

 

 

Why only open on Saturdays and Sundays is that the owner, Onikubo's main job is a dentist, so he is busy with his main business on weekdays. 

 

The reason why this shop only opens on weekends, is because Ms. Onikubo is busy during weekdays. She is a dentist by profession. CIMG1465.JPG

 

 

When you come to Tsukishima on weekends, if you like cats, why don't you stop by? It is also open during the grass market in July (9th and 10th in 2016). 

 

If you have a time to visit Tsukishima on weekends and if you are a cat lover, why don't you stop over? The shop will be opened during Kusaichi festival (July 9-10, 2016), so come on over.
