　As of November 19, we will deliver a wonderful view of the autumn leaves and yellow leaves around St. Luke's College of Nursing.

 Originally, this place was the place where Banshu-Ako Asano Yashiki was located, and it was the birthplace of Ryunosuke Akutagawa. There was also a U.S.　Nearby are monuments to the beginning of Dutch studies and monuments to a number of Mission Schools opened in the early Meiji era.

 

Recommended walking course: From Tokyo Metro Tsukiji Station or Yurakucho Station.

　Tsukiji River Park (Now, the kiwi behind the Ginza Capital Hotel is growing steadily.　In the park, pear fruits are colored yellow everywhere. )

　

　

It's fun to go out to St. Luke's Tower, Tsukiji Outer Market, and so on.

It is a slightly scenic view that "Hananoki" at Tsukiji River Park turns into autumn leaves.

In the courtyard of St. Luke's College of Nursing, there are cherry blossoms and yellow leaves in October.

　

When you walk around Tsukiji in Kinshu, you may encounter unexpected happenings.

Let's go to the Sumida River Terrace from Akatsuki Park and Hatoba Park. "Momijiba maple" on the roadside is very beautiful in three colors: green, yellow, and autumn leaves.

This morning, "Ai" was caught under Kachidokibashi.

Enjoy a walk in Tsukiji, and then enjoy delicious food at Tsukiji.

　

 

 

From October 19 to December 23, the Local Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi) will hold an original painting exhibition by Tamotsu Nagai, a painter from Chuo-ku, entitled "Children's Picture Book, Adult Manga". .

 

Tamotsu Nagai was born in Nihonbashi in 1915, and was widely active in picture books such as manga and Kinder Books in the early Showa era, as well as people and landscape sketches in "Monthly Nihonbashi" and "Ginza Hundred Points". He died at the age of 88 in 2004.

More than 4,000 works and favorite items were donated by the bereaved family, and this time the special exhibition was held.

 

In connection with the special exhibition, there were public lectures and lectures. On November 2, a symposium called "Tamotsu Nagai's View Landscape" was held as a Chuo Ward College Open College.

 

Moderators are Professor Hidenobu Jinnai, professor of Hosei University and director of the local astronomy, panelists are Fumie Ichikawa, president of Galli Puss, Taketo Kamibayashi, former editor-in-chief of "Monthly Nihonbashi", Koji Ogawa, Japanese painter, and Local Tenmonkan General Cultural Property Research Instructor Koichi Noguchi.

 

At the beginning, Dr. Noguchi introduced the footprints of Tamotsu Nagai, and Fumie Ichikawa, who had a personal friendship, showed his personality and various episodes.

Taketo Kamibayashi talked about Tamotsu Nagai and Nihonbashi, and Koji Ogawa was a painter and talked about how Chuo-ku was painted since the Edo period.

 

On the way, various episodes were also shown by the bereaved family who came to the audience and the owner of Taimeiken, who always asked for catering for the opening party of the solo exhibition.

 

The stylish atmosphere of Nihonbashi during the time when there was a fish shore, and the personality loved and respected by many people seemed to come to life in the story of the people of the edge.

 

From the audience, the paintings of the war era, which were not talked much much, are also depicted in detail with equipment that was not revealed as military secrets, and the viewpoint as a painter is truly wonderful and historically valuable. , And the panelists and their bereaved families were surprised.

 

The exhibition I saw after listening to everyone's fun story seemed to be a warm person of Tamotsu Nagai and the scenery of Nihonbashi and Ginza in the Taisho era and Showa era revived, so I was able to enjoy it very much.

 

The special exhibition "Children's Picture Book, Adult Manga-Tamotsu Nagai Original Painting Exhibition" will be held until December 23.

Admission is free.

If you have time, please come and visit us.

Unfortunately it was raining on this day, but there were 12 people, 9 people, 2 correspondents, and 1 staff member of the tourist association.
Today, we will visit 4 long-established stores on the Tsukiji Outer Market Course.

It was good because the walking distance was small and there were many places with roofs in the shopping street.

　

◆Well, the first store is Mr. Tsukiji's original. It's a kitchen knife shop.
It seems that the person who explained had been to the United States for work until this time, and now the sushi boom overseas, mainly in the United States.
It seems that there are quite a lot of foreign customers.

Certainly, most of the tour groups were foreigners in the store. From now on, kitchen knives will also need English!

Everyone was asked a lot of questions.
I'm not familiar with kitchen knives at all, but kitchen knives have one blade and two blades, and they use one blade for delicate dishes and sashimi.
It seems that it is useless to sharpen both when sharpening with a single-edge kitchen knife.

I also went to France during this time, but I was surprised that there were many sushi restaurants in Lyon.

Speaking of the original kitchen knife, most cooks seem to be used.

◆Next is Matsuro Tsukiji, the second tamagoyaki restaurant.

I've written an article here before, but it seems that the last time I went to was a branch.
It was the main store that bothered me this time. There was a place where they were actually baking eggs.

The president explained various things, and in fact, freshly made egg grilling is not the original taste, but rather the original taste.
Because we use a lot of soup stock, it seems that the original taste will not come out unless it cools down and soaks the soup stock.
So I'm going to cool the egg with a fan.

About 10 people are baking egg-yaki by division of labor, and it seems that every process is as difficult.

I was quite excited by the question whether everyone likes egg-yaki.

The egg-yaki that became a feast is also very delicious, and I bought four kinds of packs (525 yen) and went home.
I had Koshu wine at night! It's perfect for eggs and Japanese wine.

◆The next third store is Mr. Kibun Tsukiji.
I often buy chikuwa such as bamboo flutes and burdock rolls, and I bought Kitty's Kamaboko the other day.

But there was a head office here in Tsukiji! On the second floor, the store manager gave me various explanations and fried okonomiyaki.
This okonomiyaki fried, squid was freshly made and delicious.

We also received a 10% discount ticket that can be used until the end of November.

And your question is, after all, the relocation of Tsukiji. However, it seems that only the inside of the hall moves to Toyosu, and the outside remains as it is.
It's close to Ginza, and I think Tsukiji is easy to attract customers in terms of location.

It's time to go back to the shop. I think it's recommended because there are various kinds of variety packs.
Since I had an errand in the afternoon, my luggage became heavy and I bought a spicy burdock fried 500 yen.

By the way, this was also perfect with Koshu wine (laughs).
From now on, it is the season of oden, and it is likely that there will be more opportunities to use it.★

◆Kombuya-san, the last fourth store, Suita Shoten.

Speaking of kelp, it's Osaka. It seems that Suita Shoten also had a head office near Utsubo Park in Osaka.
However, this Suita is said to be from Fukui Prefecture, regardless of the place name in Osaka.

I was born in Osaka and lived for a long time, so Rishiri and Hidaka kelp are always in the freezer.
For oden, pot, or sushi rice, divide the kelp into a rice cooker.

Tokyo is more bonito than kelp, so I don't think it's sold much, so I often send soup kelp and salt kelp from my parents' home and relatives.

Actually, I didn't see much in Tokyo, but there is a delicious kelp in such a place! !
After all, there is something good to come to Tsukiji (* ^^ *)
I purchased the squirting kelp (630 yen) recommended by the president for the same quality as the famous kelp ya in Osaka.

By the way, salted kelp is quite expensive in Osaka, but it seems that it can't be sold if it's expensive in Tokyo. It seems that Tokyo is cheaper even for the same quality.
Ochazuke with this squirting kelp on the wine shime. It was really so delicious that I was surprised! With this quality, 630 yen is really cheap.

 

　  

 

 

Tsukiji / Suita Shoten Page

 

Despite the rain on this day, Tsukiji was quite busy in Nanikaichi.
Tsukiji has a lot of real and delicious things!

 

 

 

Located at the intersection of Harumi-dori St. and Shin-ohashi-dori St., Bon Marche, located on the second floor of the KY Building, is a popular restaurant in the Tsukiji Market.

 

You can easily enjoy a part of the menu of "Bon Marche" at a bar-style shop at "Bon Marche Deli & Bar" on the first floor.

From 17:00 to 21:00, it is the perfect bar time for drinking choi, but from 11:00 to 16:00, Delhi & sweets time centered on takeout.

In particular, takeout lunch at lunchtime is super recommended.

 

First of all, the chef's special daily lunch that you can't understand the contents until that day.

Initially, it was limited to 10 meals a day, but now it is limited to 15 meals due to its popularity.

 

There are many meats such as chicken and pork, but despite the price of 630 yen, there was also a day called "Wagyu Steak Bento" the other day.

I was really lucky when I hit this day.

 

And there are also pasta lunch and soup on a special daily menu.

The soup changes depending on the day, such as minestrone, pumpkin potage, and bird dumplings.

　

 

And my favorite is homemade focaccia sandwiches.

There are two kinds of dishes every day, but the contents are daily such as vegetable cheese, BLT and omelet.

At lunchtime, a set of 320 yen sandwiches and a 350 yen soup for a single item is 525 yen, which is super advantageous.

Both sandwiches and soups contain plenty of ingredients, so this alone is quite satisfactory.

The burdock and potato potage of this day was irresistible with the good scent of burdock all the way home.

 

What's more nice is that we also sell "Orimine Baker's" bread near St. Luke's.

Originally, "Orimine", which sells folding boxes in the out-of-market market, started this bakery with the desire to make delicious bread.

Nowadays, not only have a lot of fans in the neighborhood, but also has been featured in the media and it is a famous shop among bread lovers.

It's really helpful because you can buy it along the riverside without going to St. Luke's.

 

In addition, sweets also have various cakes besides the original chiffon cake named "HARUMI", and it is very valuable in Tsukiji, where there are surprisingly few cake shops.

　

 

This Delhi & Bar has been open for half a year since it opened, but the staff is very bright and friendly, including sommelier qualified Lin Taro, so there are many regulars, `` I'm requesting an egg foccia sandwich ~ "or "I didn't exist yesterday, but was it closed?" You can see the scenery where you can easily call out, such as "

The peaceful conversation between these staff and regulars is a very human-rich atmosphere of Tsukiji.

 

Speaking of Tsukiji, there are many people who think "sushi" as "seafood bowl", but there are also such stylish shops, so please come and visit us.

 

 

 

　The bus guide volunteer of "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2013" held on November 4, regretting that it was a poor guide, but I intend to do my best. It was finished safely without any accident, and bus stop number 1 `` Tsukiji '' was at the meeting dissolution place, and my shoulders were down and I was hungry, so I decided to stop by nearby `` Orimine Bakers '' and buy it home I did it.

　This is a bakery that is sometimes introduced in the media, but if you look up on the Internet, it is said that it is a shop produced by a long-established store that sells chopsticks, folding boxes, packaging items, etc. for restaurants called "Tsukiji Orimine" in the out-of-office market. Certainly, why is the design of the bag or box that puts the product cute? Also, those who came to the former Sinifian Sinifier are welcomed as advisors. That's why I'm convinced that it's delicious. By the way, "Sinifian Sinifier" has a store on the first basement floor of Takashimaya in Nihonbashi, and although the price may seem to be high, it is a bakery with a very tasteful baguette where you can feel the taste of wheat. Of course, the baguette of Orimine Bakers is also fluffy with air bubbles inside the outside!

 

　By the way, "Are" is "Iidako Focatcha", but unfortunately it was sold out on this day. But please take a look at this one you took before. It has an exquisite saltiness and a habitual taste. It's good to be like Tsukiji on the fish shore! There was also a shirasu version. On this day, I was attracted to Koshianpan and seasonal chestnuts and purchased a Danish like Mont Blanc. Koshianpan walked and eaten on the way home. Before taking a picture ... the bread dough was very moist, and the salted cherry blossoms on the top complemented the elegant sweetness of Koshian. Chestnut denish was a soft sweetness that felt the taste of the chestnut itself.

　The area is fixed, but it seems that they will also deliver home delivery. Anyway, there are many types, and I'm always wondering which one to choose. From this month, it seems that we are accepting reservations for the Christmas season confectionery "Stolen", which represents Dresden in Germany, until November 30. This looks delicious too.

 

　As an aside, when I was a student, I worked part-time for a waitress at a sushi restaurant near this bakery. I found this shop when I was looking for it while wondering if it was still there. I remember that there was a tenement house around here, but it changed a lot, so I couldn't find a sushi restaurant that worked part-time. However, the nearby children's house remained unchanged, and I felt very nostalgic.

 

　All of them are delicious bread, so why not stop by here and stroll around Tsukiji, Akashicho, and Sumida River Terrace with your favorite bread?

 On November 4th, at the site of the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden Yan Liao Hall, "I will show you! This technique-traditional skill "Pine Pruning" tour was held.

（10:30～11:30、13:30～14:30）

Among the annual pine management, the main ones are "green picking" in spring and "branching / pruning / old leaf removal (rubbing)" in autumn to winter.

In addition, there are “commo roll”, “snow hanging”, and “commo removal” mainly in winter.

In this "pruning", select the main branches, take into account the balance between the upper and lower branches, cut the standing branches, upside down branches, and entangled branches, and consider the shape two to three years later, It leaves about 3 to 5 buds in the size, adjusts the tree shape, improves the sunshine, rain, and winds necessary for growth, and observes the situation with commentary by garden staff.

In addition, Matsumari (Matsukasa) is a cause of weakening of the tree, so it is better to take it if found.

About 600 trees are planted in Japanese black pine alone, making it difficult to care for.
