Tsukiji Ebikin, famous for shrimp soba, is located diagonally opposite the Namiki Inari Shrine, at the end of Tsukiji 6-chome, at the end of Namiki-dori Street, and diagonally opposite Namiki Inari Shrine.

When you enter the shop, the scent of shrimp, which is not found in a normal ramen shop, makes you feel that you have come to shrimp gold.

Normally, I order "Shrimp soba", but today I order "Shrimp curry that is not limited in quantity"

When you eat it, you can feel the scent of shrimp toward your nose.

It was a very good menu to change the mood of the usual shrimp soba.

There is also a "mini" that can be ordered together with shrimp soba.

The shop usually runs from 10:00 to 15:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00, and ends on Saturday from 6:00 to 15:00.

Closed on Sunday and public holidays

The end of the year is from 8:00 to 13:00 on the 31st (Sat), and the beginning of the year is usually open from the 5th (Thu).

　The "Special Light Up" of Tokyo Tower is entertaining your eyes every day.

The 2019 Rugby World Cup is scheduled to be held in 12 regional cities in Japan.

On December 24, 1000 days before the opening, the countdown event was held by Tokyo, one of the host cities, in order to boost the spirit of the tournament.

This event was held at Tokyo Tower.

At the same time, on Christmas Eve, Tokyo Tower was colored with "special light-up" in three colors, blue, white and green, inspired by the host city mark of "Rugby World Cup 2019".

Lighting time From sunset to 19:30/20:00 to 23:00

By the way, "Christmas Light Down Story" is lit from 19:30 to 20:00, and "Landmark Light (Winter Version)" is lit from 23:00 to the dawn of the next day.

On this day, from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, over the Tsukiji Market, I could clearly see "Diamond Ver: Blue, White, Green" even in a distance.

　Tsukiji's Namishi Inari Shrine is crowded with worshipers who go through the "Chinowa" to remove the filth of the last year toward the end of the year.

The installation of pine decorations has also been completed.

　On December 26 (Monday), the Tsukiji Outer Market was crowded with many tourists, and ordinary customers seemed to buy it.　Your customers will not be interrupted until 30 days.

Tsukiji Fish Bank also welcomes many customers, and there is pine decorations at the entrance.　The way to cut this bamboo is "small body". It can be seen that there are no injuries to customers.

The pine decoration of this soba shop is like Japanese shop curtain, with bamboo grass on both sides and tied both ends.

The state of the Ginza Capital Hotel New Building is "cut the tip of bamboo diagonally cut from the side so that there is no injury to customers. I use bamboo that looks like laughing, leaving the section at the cut.

And it is a pine decoration of Tsukiji's restaurant "Jisaku".　Here too, "We cut bamboo diagonally and cut the tip from the side. "I'm making my mouth at the knot."　By the way, would you like to cook water tonight?

This bamboo cutting method is called "sogi", leaving the mouth part and making it look like laughing. "Good luck comes to the laughing gate." I hope that the coming 2017 will be a good year for you.

On the last Monday of this year, Namishi Inari Shrine, located at the end of Namishi Street, is already ready for the New Year.

Namiwa Inari Shrine is a shrine that has a deep reverence in the sacred virtues such as disaster elimination, exorcism, business prosperity, construction safety, etc. as Namiwa Inari, who survives the waves except for disasters.

There is also an annual great exorcism Chinowa on the grounds.

Nami-dori before New Year is crowded with Tsukiji Market officials, people who buy ingredients for New Year's preparations, and foreign tourists.

People who carry frozen tuna and those who ride turley pass along the street in front of the shrine.

It is a place where you can feel that the New Year is approaching at once after Christmas is over.
