Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

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.



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



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





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.



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.



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?



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!


Photographed in front of the Tsukiji Social Education Center.

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.　

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.



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.



■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"



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.



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.

 

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.

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.

The salad has a solid amount.

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

"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"

Salad and bread first

The salad has an appetizing dressing, with chicken and quiche next to it.

This is the main pasta.

Spaghetti full of teeth, round oysters

Coffee after meals

The clerk's reception was pleasant and we enjoyed a delicious lunch.

The oyster dishes at this time are good.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Christmas is over, and it is time to prepare for the New Year in earnest.
If you say what to do at this time, write New Year's cards, general cleaning, and sticking!
This time, I would like to introduce the mochi of Shintomi Town Association held on December 23 (Sun).



As shown in the flyer above, the venue was the street in front of Shintomi Kuminkan.
Many children gathered with the Tokyo Metro participating this year!



The opportunity to wear Tokyo Metro uniforms and take pictures with Metopon is valuable.
And looking at the panel of the train, the destination was "Shintomi Town Association Mochitsuki Tournament".
What a smart measure! I'm surprised to see this kind of device.



There was also a white bike ride experience and a VR earthquake experience corner.



And when it comes to the main mochi, it's very authentic.
A convenient mochi machine has spread, and it has become difficult to see it!
Even in my hometown, I've only seen it at a traditional bun shop, but I'm sure you'll see it on the streets of Tokyo!
There is no doubt that the rice cake made with seiro is delicious.



It's a rice cake that can be experienced regardless of men and women of all ages.
"Oh, it's good," said a vigorous shout.
There were also smiling scenes, such as veterans teaching young people tips on sticking.



There was also a mayor of Chuo from Shintomi-cho, and I was able to see a little bit of the vision of Chuo-ku after the Tokyo 2020 Games.
The mochi was served as zoni, grated radish, kinakomochi, and anmochi, and was crowded with many people.



Thank you to the women who prepared the mochi skillfully!



In the meantime, I had a zoni.
The soup stock was effective and the scent of yuzu was good.
Also, it's nice to have two large rice cakes.



In addition, the sake "Shintomiza" was also served by adults.
Currently, the Kyobashi Tax Office is under construction, so you cannot see the information board at the site of Shintomiza.
Shintomiza (Relocated from Asakusa Saruwakacho in 1872. At that time, it was still called Morita-za) was used as a symbol of Civilization and enlightenment by using gas lamps.
It is said that the ninth generation Danjuro Ichikawa worked on a new historical drama (live history) and contributed to the development of the theater world.
It is an indispensable theater for talking about theater in Chuo-ku.



9 months since I started a correspondent...
One of the attractions of Chuo-ku that I discovered this year is the bonds of the community.
I came to Tokyo with the image that people in Tokyo have no neighborhood relationship and are cold.
It was an amazing and happy discovery
Next year, I would like to participate in local events and touch on the goodness of Chuo-ku.

※About this event, we have permission of introduction from town council.
