Fun at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge

[ukiuki] April 29, 2011 08:30

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is located between Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Kachidokibashi.

 

The bridge itself is a design that emphasizes functionality.

The sidewalk on the north side (upstream of Sumida River, Chuo-ohashi Bridge side) is only pedestrians.

You can walk slowly while enjoying the scenery without worrying about your bicycle.

 

Every time I pass the bridge, I'm looking forward to it.

There is a point where you can see the Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower at the same time.

You can see Tokyo Tower from the twin towers of St. Luke's.

It is about 50 steps from the Tsukishima side.

Everyone, please try it.

 

 

 

Walk, Tsukiji Akashicho

[Many Books Osa] April 29, 2011 08:30

 April 26 I took a walk in Tsukiji Akashicho after a long absence.

Get off at Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line and start a walk. Akashi Elementary School (remodeling?) A "gas lamppost" was installed in front of the apartment near the house. From there, there was Catholic Tsukiji Church Cathedral across the road of Akashiko. The wisteria flowers and button cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

It may be difficult to see because it was a little backlight, but the button cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

From there, we toured Time Dome Akashi (the azalea flowers were blooming beautifully on the bulletin board) and walked to Nihonbashi while looking at the explanation board of the site of Shintomi-za in front of the building of the Kyobashi Tax Office. On the way, Showa (?) Post office building with atmosphere of atmosphere, old-fashioned Tabiya building with Tabiya building, ivy (?) It was a walk of about 10,000 steps while watching the interesting buildings and flowers while watching the eco-friendly buildings covered with them.

   

 

Tsukiji's "Takasei" brown sugar dorayaki

1. April 28, 2011 08:30

 
Do you like "Dorayaki"?

In addition to red bean paste, "Dorayaki", which has a wide variety of items ranging from white bean paste, Uguisu bean paste, chestnuts, fresh cream, and custard cream, is a classic snack for the common people.

The origin of the name "Dorayaki" seems to be various because "Benkei Musashibo was grateful for the treatment of injuries, drew the flour that was melted thinly in a heated gong and baked, wrapped the bean paste, and served it." It seems to be powerful because it resembles the shape of "gong".

"Funoyaki", which is said to be the prototype of dorayaki, has appeared in many tea ceremonies as Sen no Rikyu prefers, but this "Funoyaki" seems to be like the present crepe, and it became a specialty of the late Edo period. It is also known as "Kojimachi Sukeno Fukuzono" as "Edo specialty" in late Tokugawa shogunate's Edo customs record "Morisada ware manga".

This "Suso ware" is "baked in a hot pot that melts flour and wraps the bean paste in a square with this dough" ("The present and present of Japanese sweets" published by Tankosha"). It is said that the shape of sandwiching the bean paste with the dough "is said to be the idea of Ueno Rabbitya in 1914.

There are many favorite shops you like, but my favorite now is "Takasei"'s "Black Sugar Dorayaki" (@ 178 yen). The dough made with brown sugar from Okinawa is soft, moist and light. The disadvantage of the bean paste is that the taste of Dainagon red beans is firm and the sweetness is moderate, and the hand grows on the second hand. It does not last long because it does not use preservatives. Previously, it was open at Tsukiji 7-chome, but now the shop is 6-chome. It's a small shop with only your wife and two people. In addition to dorayaki, there are various types of Daifuku, seasonal cherry blossom mochi, Kashiwa mochi, and red rice.

The Yae-zakura and wisteria of Tsukiji Catholic Church are in full bloom

[Silver] April 28, 2011 08:30

 I enjoyed a lot of cherry blossoms in Yae-zakura from Yoshino cherry tree in April.

At the Tsukiji Catholic Church, there is a wisteria on the left side of the gate and a Yae-zakura on the right.

CIMG8381.jpg

 This was the first time I saw a wisteria flower here, and I was very impressed. 

And when I went out in the afternoon, I had coffee and rusk in Aladdin and remembered again.

Aladdin's coffee is ¥190, 5 rusks are ¥100, and confectionery bread is about ¥120.

For more information about Aladdin, I regretted last year's "cat on the hill" blog.

It is said that it will be closed on May 3, 4 and 5.

Akashicho is a town where history and literature live. In addition to a walk around Tsukiji River Park, St. Luke's.

Please drop in at the next stop at Tsukiji.

By the way, the Novelty Museum, which opened last October.

We will inform you that the museum will be closed.



Due to the influence of Great East Japan Earthquake on the 11th of last month, the novelty Museum

A part of the wall in the common area of the building where the building is located has come off.

Fortunately, there are no injuries.

There was no major damage to the products on display in the museum.



However, because the walls of the common area have been peeled off, for those who come to the museum in the future.

The Novelty Museum shouldn't hurt you.

We're closed now.



The building management company is currently preparing for the repair of damaged parts of the wall.

I think it will take some time, and I think it will take some time.
