View from St. Luke's Tower 47F

[TAKK...] June 28, 2012 13:00

I went to the Sky Restaurant Luke in Akashicho.

While enjoying the view from 200m above the ground, we had a delicious "Tsukiji French".

Watching the sunset, you can get a beer poured into a beautifully polished cup, and slowly darken the area, and the lights of the city emerge in a large window.

All the dishes are delicious and satisfying.

After the meal, we enjoyed the night view in the observation room and photographed it.

I could see Kachidokibashi and Rainbow Bridge, and the boats passing through the Sumida River were very beautiful.

There is a delicious duck restaurant about 50m after entering the alley between Kyobashi Post Office and Togama. The name of the restaurant is "Kamotei".

Lunch is called Lunch Trio, and there are "Duck Mushroom Soba", "Duck Seiro Soba", and "Goshikidon". 980 yen each. I ordered Goshiki-don. Duck meat, eringi, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, eggplants, blue peppers, etc. are boiled in a sukiyaki style, and all-purpose green onions are placed in the corner to color them. This was really delicious.

From 6:00 in the evening, "Kamotei Specialty, famous sake and sake appetizers 1,280 yen", and dinner is a duck course dish of 4,000 yen and 6,000 yen. I enjoyed the “Kamotei Specialty, Meishu and Sake Appetizers 1,280 yen” on another day, so if you report it, please tell me

The drink of the set is Ok for beer and sake. The sashimi is made with silkworm beans and tanuta (this is an exquisite taste!) It's a potato salad of duck and Seri, and one bottle of duck skewers. It is recommended if you drink a substitute sake and don't stay for a total of ¥1,880happy01, or if you're hooking quickly. Of course, try the official course!

 

 

Hatchobori's “Nikomaru (250 yen) lunch box”

[Apricot peony] June 25, 2012 08:30

When I walk outside at noon, I see a lot of lunch boxes sold here and there.
The menu is full of ethnic styles in Japanese, Western and Chinese.
As for the price, a one coin (500 yen) lunch box came out a little ago, and if you thought it was terrible, a thank-you (390 yen) lunch box appeared immediately, and it was a reasonable content, so inflation bubble I'm sorry that it's really good for the generation who experienced it.


However, if I was surprised at the thank you (390 yen) lunch box, there was even more!

Near the Keika Square in Hatchobori, the name of the shop is "Nikomaru (250 yen) Bento" in Z Bali. What, more than 10 kinds of lunch boxes are all 250 yen! !

On this day, I bought an Italian hamburger lunch box.

Along with lettuce, a hamburger with tomato sauce, and the side dish is fried chicken, fried shrimp, fried egg, and pickles. There is also a solid amount of rice, and it is enough if it is not an extra gutsuri system.


ck1203_1206222.jpgIn addition, there are a wide variety of menus such as ginger grilled, vinegared pork, meat and potatoes, grilled fish, roast cutlet, chicken nanban, etc., so there are regulars, but I don't get tired of it every day.
At lunchtime, there must have been a lot of people at the cash register, and there must have been a lot, but it is convinced that it will be sold out in no time.



ck1203_1206221.jpg
The reason why it's delicious and so low is that the headquarters in Urayasu is a fresh supermarket, fresh ingredients are available cheaply, and rice is also self-milled, and efforts are made to cut down costs infinitely. That's right.

It's really a great friend for your wallet.


However, business hours are short from 11:00 to 13:00.

Please note that is absent on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.


 

 

Chinowa Kuguri Koami Shrine and Namishi Inari Shrine

1. June 22, 2012 08:30

From the 20th, Chinowa was set up at Koami Shrine. It is said that it will be set up until June 30, when the "Natsukoshi Great Exorcism" is held.

100_0624.JPGAs you can see, of the twice-year exorcism, New Year's Eve was called "Exorcism of New Year's Eve" and June in old calendar was literally a turning point in autumn, so it was calledNara period's Imperial Palace event. The "Chinowa" event, which is still held at many shrines, is customary to represent this "Natsukoshi Exorcism". It is said that a ring (diameter: 2-3m) that bundles "Chigaya" called "Chinowa" is displayed, and when passing through this ring, the body is cleaned and plagues and sins are exterminated. It is believed that Chinowa was the source of today's Chinowa's passing on, based on the story of "Somin Future" written in Bingo topographical record, "The fact that Somin who lent the overnight inn that Susanoo-no-Mikoto taught Chinowa to his waist will escape the plague."


In the late Edo period, "Toto Toshikiki" also "Kamimae, felicitation, and there is a Kagura box office. At the end of the gods, he overrides Chinowa, a pilgrimage. At the place that is separated by Kawabe, water is poured in a basin and compared to the Misogi River. On this day, ordinary people cut it into the form of clothing with paper, make it a stroke, and do not throw it into the river. " In addition, the answer of Mineyama territory of Tango-kuni in the "Country Customs Question Answer" during the cultural year is "Singing when purifying the ring, those who purify Natsukoshi in Minazuki are the home of a thousand years of life" "You can see the song of the right two necks and Chinowa. This is a song in the collection of books, but it is still said to sing around Chinowa.


In order to purify the filth of the body for half a year, write the date of birth and name on the "Katashiro" (Katashiro) at the shrine and stroke the body to the shrine. At the shrine, the "Katashiro" delivered is purified by the "Natsukoshi Grand Exorcism Ceremony" and flows it to rivers and the sea.

100_0632.JPGKoami Shrine's great exorcism is June 30. Also, at Namiwa Inari Shrine, Chinowa has already been set up since the festival in June, and the "large exorcism ceremony" is held on the first Saturday of July, this year after a large exorcism ceremony in the morning, and from the afternoon on the Sumida River wharf quay. Therefore, please pay the bill to the shrine by this "large exorcism ceremony". I want to purify the filth for half a year and welcome the next six months when I feel comfortable. Even though I'm not a pupil, I have received a fee from two companies. If the filth is too purified! What will happen?



The Japanese confectionery "Mizunazuki" is used to exorcise Natsukoshi. It is a confectionery made with red beans on a white gairo dough and a kitchen knife in a triangle. The red beans are exorcism, and the triangle shape represents ice that pays hot weather. In Kyoto, it is only available on June 30th. ・・ For some reason, this confectionery is often served in June, so I have already had it twice for my tea practice.
The photo is from "Tsukiji Takao" and seems to be making a cup of June. One is apricot pickles.

[ukiuki] June 15, 2012 08:30

The Tsukiji Lion Festival, a festival at Tsukiji's Namiwa Inari Shrine, was held from June 7 (Thu) to 10 (Sun).

This year marks the 350th anniversary of the Imperial Palace, which is a memorable year.

At the celebration festival on the 9th, three groups were held: portable shrine Senukigu Shrine, the protection against misfortune ceiling large lion, and the black lion (for women only).

It seems that all three are the first ever since the shrine was built.

Unfortunately, it was raining on this day, but a lot of people gathered along the road.

The next Sunday is fine, and there is also a child portable shrine.

In the hot weather, I was walking around the town of Tsukiji and Harumi-dori St., raising my voice to adults while receiving ice and ramune.


 

 

It's a large restaurant that is full of pine, so please feel free to come.

 Speaking of "Matsu Shiman," it's a restaurant in Shintomi-cho. 

When I was working at Minato 3-chome, I used to walk around here a lot, so I had passed several times before. Today, there was an errand at the Kyobashi Tax Office and the Central Metropolitan Tax Office, so I visited before 12 o'clock to enjoy lunch. When I talked to the person who came out in preparation for the opening of the store, he smiled and said, "If 30 years ago, I know the appearance of the restaurant."

CIMG0510Matsushima.jpg 

The location is the back of the Central Metropolitan Tax Office, 2-9-1 Shintomi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and the phone number is 03-3551-8000.

At 12:05, a man and woman who seemed to be working nearby rushed on a bicycle.

PS. At the time of the bill, my mother and two people sent me a smile. Also, it's the shop I wanted to go to. At night, 720ml bottle of shochu costs ¥3,500, so it is a friendly shop for your wallet.  Please look forward to the history edition at the restaurant.
