I think I come here every time, but even if there is such a quiet and relaxing space in Chuo-ku, it is very close to Tokyo Bay.

New Year's dishes, nighttime bells, Chinowa gourgle...It's Tsukiji at the end of the year!

[Hanes] December 31, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This year was the end of the year in no time, but how are you all going?
I think you may be busy preparing for New Year's Day.
When it comes to buying Datemaki, Kazunoko, Kurikinton, etc., which are indispensable for New Year's cuisine, it's time to buy
"At the end of the year! It's Tsuiji.

So, on New Year's Eve, I greeted Tsukiji Honganji, where you can hit the bell of nighttime, and then gave a greeting.
(* Bell bell towers will distribute 350 numbered tickets (one shot per ticket) from 22:00 on New Year's Eve. Click here for more information.

Even after the relocation of Toyosu, I went to Tsukiji Outer Market, where the bustle did not decline.
You can try to line up in a large line of more than 50 people in front of a long-established egg-yaki shop.
In another famous egg-yaki shop, I saw many clerks busy packing boxes for shipping.
There were more crowds than usual, and I was able to enjoy the lively Tsukiji.

After that, we headed for Tsukiji Namishi Inari Shrine!
During the Manji period (1658-1661), landfill work in the Tsukiji area was not easy due to the waves, but as a result of worshiping the statue of Inari Myojin, which came out of the sea, the waves subsided.
This shrine was founded because it was able to proceed with construction.

The New Year's great exorcism ceremony is held until the 31st.

IMG_3679.JPG

You can go through Chinowa.
Why don't you pray for sound health and others for the new year?

IMG_3673.JPG

You can also visit the protection against misfortune ceiling large lion (wish skewers).

IMG_3675.JPG

IMG_3676.JPG

Put the wish skewer that wrote wish in the basket on the tongue of this large lion, and remember,
It is said that a large lion will swallow wish and fulfill it.

IMG_3677.JPG

The large ceiling lion is male and has a corner at the top of the head, and the black lion is female and has a giboshi.
This shrine has cultural properties that we want to keep as a measure against the Chuo-ku sightseeing certification.
If you have a chance to come to visit, check the large lion and the water bowl.

IMG_3669.JPG

And the Chinese zodiac sign in 2019 is also near the ceiling large lion.
Why don't you take a look at this as well?

IMG_3684.JPG

Recently, I heard that there are towns in the Kanto region that have suddenly cooled down and recorded 60 cm of snow.
When you go out, wear it like a calf sparrow and warm it out!

Looking at Tsukiji Inner Market

[HK] December 30, 2018 14:00

 

Last week I saw the market in Tsukiji from the high floor of the building.

Two months after the market moved to Toyosu, I was watching the precious figure with regret. 

 

Looked at Tsukiji Inner Market from a building. 

It has been almost two months after Toyosu relocation, and just took a long look appreciating its precious appearance.

[Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Measures] Haiku and Kawayanagi

[Hanes] December 28, 2018 18:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The date of the Chuo-ku Tourism Examination Examination is approaching, but is your study progressing smoothly?
This time, I will introduce you to visiting historical sites in Chuo-ku, which also serves as a measure against Haiku and Kawayanagi.

■Mrs. Takeko Kujo, poetry monument
She was born in Kyoto as the second daughter of the gatekeeper of Nishi Honganji Temple and married Baron Yoshiyuki Kujo at the age of 21.
My husband has been living separately for nearly 10 years due to studying and working in the UK.
During that time, I studied Waka (Nobutsuna Sasaki), Painting (Shoen Uemura), and Ikebana (Nishikawa Ikusatei) and refined my talents.

IMG_3622.JPG

The songbooks she left include "Kinsuzu" and "Kaosen" and the essay "Muyuka".
I would like to keep in mind the "Overy Things I'm going to be drawn from the great things" engraved on poetry monument in Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

IMG_3621.JPG

■Kawayanagi, Mizutani Ryotei stone monument
His phrase, worried about the customs of Tsukuda Island and talked about Setsuyoshi Tadataka at home, can be seen on the grounds of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.
"I'm a gentle and hard man,"

■Bronze bell at the time of Kokumachi
This bell was installed in Honishi-cho during the time of the second shogun Hidetada Tokugawa, informing the people of Edo Castle of the time.
Because there was Nagasakiya (Dutch trading post's post office) nearby, Kawayanagi was written....
"I can hear the bell of Kokumachi to the Netherlands."

■poetry monument Takuboku Ishikawa
He joined the Asahi Shimbun in Takiyamamachi, Kyobashi-ku (currently Ginza 6-chome).
For about three years until he died at the age of 26 due to pulmonary tuberculosis, etc., he worked as a proofreader while working as a proofreader.
"Iss of the time when I became a newspaper light in Takiyamamachi in Kyobashi"

IMG_3635.JPG

In addition, his first songbook, "A handful of Sand," begins with "Crying up by the white sand of the shores of Kojima in Tokai and hitting crabs."

■Echigo-ya
Enomoto (Takarai), one of the Juetsu Shomon and a representative of a group called Edoza (which features a flashy phrase that reflects the Edo kid's temperament), wrote such a phrase about Echigoya. .
"Echigo-ya's sound and clothespin,"
The scene seems to suddenly come to my eyes.

IMG_3647.JPG

It's a great deal, so let's remember the other phrases at the corner together.
(We will not explain in detail here, but we recommend that you also check the background where each phrase is written!)

"The path of the crane is as expected in the spring of the sun."
"There is no day when one bell can't be sold, spring in Edo"
"I wonder if this number of boats will be cool."

■Site of Kaikaikan
Kaikaikan, which opened in 1905, is a two-story wooden ryokan in Kappo cuisine, which was relocated from Sendai City.
At that time, this area was a scenic and quiet place with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay, so famous cultural figures stayed there.
The following is a summary of the Kaikaikan:
"Let's see the winter sea and make the New Tsukuda Sea Water Museum wabi live."
(From Isamu Yoshii's songbook "Poison Utsugi")

■19 tombs
On the left side of his tomb (Shinenzan Toyo-in), the creator of Tokaido Naka-Kurige, is located.
The phrase of a famous dictionary is engraved.
"Goodbye to ashes with the smoke of incense stick in your spare time."

■The end of Shoin Yoshida
Despite being an excellent man who raised many of the late Tokugawa shogunate soldiers, his resignation phrase, executed in the Kodemmacho prison, is set up in Kodemmacho.
"The body is kept in the Nobe of Musashi even if it does not decay,"

■Sushi
Such a phrase was written because the hand of the craftsman holding the sushi resembles a spell of ninjutsu.
"Vinegar rice held by the body of magic" (Kawayanagi haiku collection "Shufu Yanagi Taru")

I've picked up Haiku and Kawayanagi so far.
All of them are impressive things that are memorable.
If you have a phrase you don't know, why not check it before the test?

※In this article, we will introduce some of the reasons for this.
 If you learn the contents written here, you will not be able to pass it.
 Please include it in advance.

 

 

Get lost in the number of lunch menus [Tratria detask]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 27, 2018 12:00

This is the Italian "Tratria detask" of Shintomi 2-chome, which I have introduced several times in this blog.

There are plenty of lunch pasta menus and I get lost every time.

task2018001.JPG

The location is just a 0-minute walk from Exit 2 of Shintomicho Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line.

On weekdays, lunchtime starts at 11:30, and this is also a popular store, so we recommend that you enter early after opening.

There are 30 kinds of sets of raw pasta and salad, so I get lost every time.

Today, select "Japanese clam Bianco" from the genre of garlic (peperonchino)

Normally, it's 150g, but you can get it to 200g of large size for free.

task2018002.JPG

The salad has a solid amount.

task2018003.JPG

This is the main pasta.

The raw pasta is smooth. The throat is good and the throat is good.

Sweepings

It's a blissful time

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 26, 2018 12:00

"Saposen Tudiaki" is a delicious Italian and pasta lunch at Tsukiji 1-chome.

I've been introduced on this blog before.

The handwritten board in front of the shop and the state flag of Sardina Autonomous Region are landmarks.

Monday is a regular holiday.

Italians based on regional cuisine in Sardina Island are served.

This is also a popular shop, and it's open at 11:30, so we recommend that you enter before 12:00.

Order "Oyster and Spinach Spaghetti"
