Minami-Takahashi is an iron bridge that was built on the Kamejima River in 1932 (1932) as part of the reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake.
A part (central part) of the former Ryogoku Bridge, which was hung over the Sumida River in 1904 and was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, is used for this bridge.
It is said that it is the oldest road bridge in Tokyo where cars can pass.
It is designated as Tangible Cultural Property in Chuo-ku.

　　The stamp rally antenna shop in Chuo-ku started on October 3 this year, but Ginzo has been celebrating its fifth year.　

After all, "Dandan", which I learned several years ago, is probably selected for this year's buzzword award.

There is a warm atmosphere of each store you visit, and it's a bit "Oh! The antenna shop in Fukuoka Prefecture also opened in Ginza this year.

It's Chuo-ku, full of fun things.

 　Today, I went to "I brought Hakodate" in LAWSON stores in Kyobashi and "Iwate Ginga Plaza" in Higashiginza, which celebrated the 15th anniversary of its opening.

Hakodate is located in Hokkaido, and it is not necessary to say again, but in the words of the song, it is

　It is famous for the sub-chan's "Hakodate Woman", which begins with Chanchara LaLa LaLa LaLa LaLa LaLa La LaLa La La, but

Here in Lawson's shop in Kyobashi, "I brought Hakodate" means "even if I don't go all the way" or "I don't have to overcome the reverse waves."

You can easily buy Hakodate's specialty products 24 hours a day.　I'm really happy.

And "Iwate Ginga Plaza" in Higashiginza.

It is said that it will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year.

Today, I bought "Kuji no Mamebu Juice" from Iwate Prefecture, which became famous nationwide for NHK's morning drama program "Amachan".

Tomorrow, with the eldest couple and granddaughter, they wanted to taste plenty of the tastes of Hokkaido and Tohoku, and to bite the value and happiness of family bonds.

Ikameshi is famous, but "Ikajaga"!　I'm looking forward to seeing what it tastes. Click here for more information about "Iwate Ginga Plaza".　http://www.iwate-ginpla.net/

Please purchase the tastes from all over Japan at the antenna shop and enjoy it.　

The temperature in the morning and evening has dropped a lot, and it has finally become a taste autumn.

Speaking of a town with delicious food, it is Tsukiji, a food town.

The annual “Tsukiji Autumn Festival” was held on October 12 and 13 for two days, but this year it was “Economic support with deliciousness!”, The theme was “Food Bali's“ Food Banomics ”.

One of the highlights of the event is that you can rent seven wheels at a special venue and bake and eat the ingredients you bought at Tsukiji as they are! That's why the cover of the pamphlet is unique in which the word "food" is reminiscent of the seven wheels.

Even if you know it is delicious to bake with a net, you can't easily do it at home because of smoke.

At the venue where smoke can drop in under sweaty weather, in addition to limited-time premium beer, there are sales booths of delicious Tsukiji shops such as fried eggs of Shoro, Shumai of Koken, steak of Oomiya, etc. Everyone enjoyed the taste of autumn.

On the 13th, a large line was formed at a booth where saury sent directly from Choshi was baked on the spot.

And the other procession was a booth for the "bonito-bushi-shaving" experience.

Some of the children who touched them for the first time have missed them.

It was surprising that the men were also lined up.

The "shopping tickets" sold on the day can be used at member stores of Tsukiji Outer Market, but they have a ticket worth 1,100 yen for 1,000 yen and up to a lottery ticket of Dai raffle that wins Tsukiji's famous items.

Unfortunately, I didn't win the lottery, but the remaining tickets can be used until October 31st, so I'll come back to shopping soon.

 During the period from October 7 (Mon) to 12 (Sat) (10: 00-17: 00), Uogashi Meicha Tsukiji New Store “Chanomin Club” is the last tea party of this year <Autumn> It's the whole thing! It is being held.

"Shimbashi" That's because it is now a place name in Minato-ku, why Chuo-ku? I think there are some people who think about it.

However, Shimbashi used to be a bridge over the Shiodome River in front of Ginza, and during the Edo period it was called Shibakuchi Bridge.

The Shiodome River was gradually reclaimed after the end of the war, but in the photo immediately after the war in my home, you can see the main pillar and a little balustrade at the right end.

(← Click to increase it.)

This main pillar still remains, and you can still see it diagonally in front of the Hakuhinkan in Ginza 8-chome, under the high speed in front of the entrance of the supermarket Hanamasa.

Near the place where Shimbashi was located, on the back street of Hakuhinkan, there was a Noh Kinharu-ryu mansion in the Edo period, so it is still called Kinharu-dori.

A popular female master from Jobanzu, who lived here at the end of the Tokugawa period, is often called for banquets, etc., and receives the end of the Shogunate's approval of "Kentori Gomen".

This is the beginning of the so-called "Shimbashi Geisha".

Restaurants and waiting areas are also located around Kibiki-cho (now the east side of Ginza) and around Tsukiji from this area.

Therefore, "Shimbashi Hanayagikai" is not located in Shimbashi in Minato-ku, but around the Chuo-ku side of the bridge called "Shimbashi".

And despite the fact that Shimbashi Enbujo built in 1925 is quite far from Shimbashi Station, Shimbashi is called Shimbashi because it was built to improve the arts of Shimbashi Geisha. People involved in Shimbashi Hanayagikai, such as restaurants, shops, and geisha.

From 1940, he signed a performance contract with Shochiku and became a subsidiary, but even now, the owner of the restaurant is lined up in the management team.

"East Odori", which is held for four days in May every year by Shimbashi Geisha, was once held twice a year in spring and autumn, and Yasunari Kawabata, Junichirou Tanizaki, Eiji Yoshikawa and others wrote plays, and the dance master "Mari Chiyo" seems to have been sold and a row of female students fans.

The reason for the development of Shimbashi Hanayagikai was that the people of late Tokugawa shogunate, such as Satsuma and Choshu, who became key figures of the Meiji government at the time, were still young and seemed to be innocent in the western country, and were not welcomed by Yanagibashi, which was first-class in the Edo period.

The Japanese restaurant "Shinkiraku" (Ito Hirobumi was called "Kiraku" at the time of the first landlady), which is still the venue for the famous literary prize, the Akutagawa Prize and Naoki Prize, was very pleased to send a Chinese poem to the proprietress while serving as governor of Korea.

When was that heat? It's the speed of the change of the season that makes you think, but when it gets cooler, it's still a warm ramen, so today I'll introduce a friend who had an office in Tsukiji, a few minutes from Tsukiji Honganji It's "Chika Koken".

The inside of the store is a so-called Chinese soba shop in the city with 5 or 6 tables. It's full of familiar people in your neighborhood. I recommended "Chicken soba" (750 yen), and my friend asked "Gomoku soba" (800 yen) and Shumai (5 pieces, 500 yen).

"Chicken soba" is a salty chicken soup that has been firmly taken and chicken is luxuriously contained. The taste is solid, but the texture is smooth and not persistent, and the balance with medium-sized noodles is exquisite. My friend's Gomoku soba also looks delicious. The next time, I thought that the "cold Chinese Chinese" that the neighbor had was also good, but I was badlyhaved to do that next time. Shmai is satisfied and satisfied with the large size. According to the shop, there are quite a few customers who sometimes drop in with nostalgia even when the office moves. It is a shop where you can feel "Showa" somewhere where you can understand such people's feelings well. Is it "Ramen" next time?
