Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

We went to a shop called "New Castle" in Ginza 2-chome for lunch. Although it is a curry shop, the name of the menu is the name of JR station, so I knew the existence for a long time, but it was my first visit.

 

The exterior is like a Futou coffee shop. But there is a mysterious blackboard in front of the store, and the JR station name is certainly written.

 

 

Looking at the letters on the blackboard, "I see, is this a menu?..."I opened the door of the store. Welcome You will be greeted by a cheerful woman's voice. It would be nice to have a restaurant where the first voice of the clerk is pleasant. The shop seems to be lined up by men and women one by one. It looks like a couple.

When he sat at the counter and was wondering what to do, his wife said, "I recommend" Omori "for men." "Well, then,"..."I asked. I'll bring you a sports newspaper with water. I feel a lot of attention.

  The curry was served soon.

 

   

  There is a fried egg on the curry. Immediately, when I got it, it was a mild taste that felt even a faint sweetness at first, but the more spicy stimulation spread in my mouth.

In this shop, curry is called spicy rice (Karai rice). When I asked the master Miyata about the reason, he said, "I expressed the pain that came later." I'm convinced when I eat it! That's the reason. It is said that the secret of deliciousness is to boil the vegetable-based curry slowly the day before and serve it to customers the next day.

 

Founded in 1946. It's a very friendly shop that doesn't seem to be in Ginza, but the taste is authentic. Please add it to your Ginza lunch option. I'm also happy with the detailed customer service of Mrs. Miyata.

 

 

 

Ginza is one of the most famous downtown areas in Japan. There are long-established stores that have been around since the Edo period and trendy luxury brand shops, and even in the bustle, it is an adult town where you can feel a unique dignity.

　4-chome intersection

By the way, have you ever lost your way in Ginza? Ginza is a grid-like city where most streets cross at right angles. Every intersection looks the same in terms of four corners, and I think there are times when you don't know where you are before you get used to Ginza.

So why did Ginza become such a grid-like city? The reason goes back about 400 years ago when Ieyasu built a city called Edo. Ginza was developed by Ieyasu as a "town area" in 1612 in the early Edo period. Ieyasu landed the land, which had hardly lived, in a grid pattern and gave it to the townspeople. The relationship between the Tokaido (= current Ginza Street) and its back streets (= current Namiki-dori St.), and the street that crosses them at right angles (at that time it was called Yokocho), Ginza Yanagi-dori St., Marronnier Street, Harumi-dori St., etc., is almost the same as 400 years ago. By the way, the current main street of Ginza, Ginza Street (I think there are surprisingly many people who do not know that this street corresponds to the old Tokaido....About 16 meters wide of the roadway is almost the same as the road width of the Edo period. During the Edo period, it was the path of the daimyo of sankin kotai who climbed Edo Castle and the Korean correspondents who were known for their gorgeous gorgeousness. At the time of a pedestrian paradise, I think it's fun to try silver brushing while thinking about 400 years ago. Ginza, where the cutting edge of modern fashion and the weight of 400 years of history blend in a very natural way. There may be a secret that this city attracts people in such a place.

In Ginza, luxury brand buildings opened one after another around two years ago.
In order to protect the scenery of the Ginza district, there is a Ginza rule that the height is up to 56 meters.
In any case, there are many buildings of the same height, probably because everyone will build at the last minute.
And recently, there are many buildings with cafes and restaurants.

It was my birthday the other day, so I had a celebration at Almanilist Rante.

The Armani Ginza Tower, located on Harumi-dori St., is a building characterized by a pattern of scattered leaves.

By the window, you can see Gucci and a 4°C building across the street.

　

The special anniversary course, the menu of 15,000 yen per person, was like this.

And after blowing out the candle, it reappears like this (left)
It's an anniversary dinner, so I took a picture.★

　  

The structure of the building and the entrance are like a brand restaurant.
It was a feeling of care, but the staff was very friendly and at home.

"How about the taste? I'll replace it if it's dark and thin."
And they come to ask each dish.
When I happened to be bread, I was not good at nuts, so I was told that I was not good at nuts.
Today's special cake is pistachio, so I'll change it.
I changed it to this chocolate mousse.

"Please don't hesitate to ask for your likes and dislikes and use it conveniently."
I was told that it was easy to go next time.

Here are some of the cafes in Ginza.

１．Cafe Paulista
First of all, this shop is located in Ginza 8-chome.
"A silver bra is a walk along Ginza Street to Cafe Paulista.
"Going to drink Brazilian coffee."
That is the origin of the original silver bra.
If you go here, you will find a silver bra certificate (laughs).

John Lennon and Onoyoko came to the shop here.
It seems that they also went to Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Kan Kikuchi.
The inside of the store was also a retro atmosphere.

３．Eleven-bo Coffee Shop Cafe Bechet
There is a fragrant scent of coffee in the store.
It's like a coffee specialty store that has been around for a long time.
Even though it is along Nishi-Ginza Street, it has a calm atmosphere that makes you forget the hustle and bustle outside.

Coffee beans are sold by weight and can be consulted on the taste.
Take it home is Crystal Mountain.
You can buy it as it is, or you can have it ground on the spot.

　

４．Cafe de lumble

I'm drinking Crystal Mountain now.
It's close to it and doesn't have much sourness ...
If you like it, you can get a lot of advice.

There are a lot of coffee equipment, too.

I found that a long line lasts every day at the confectionery department store in Ginza.

Each store continues until the line of people who started to line up at the same time as the store opened is out of stock.

At least 10 people, at least 30 people are waiting side by side to buy the goods you want.

For those who have never seen the real thing yet.
"Ginza's proud representative landmark, a nationally registered cultural property of Showa.
It's worth a look."

Who is tired of it? 
"I'll see you in less than a year."


 
The classical performing arts, Kabuki Hall of Fame, and Kabukiza, will close in about 11 months, and will start dismantling and remodeling work.
In this building, the famous actors of Showa and Heisei were applauded on the flower path and turned around, attracting the audience again.
 With this rebuilding, the design is new, and the exterior seems to be simple and novel designing in anticipation of the advanced use of the surrounding area.

Many fans who have been accustomed to the removal of the formal appearance of the Momoyama style, which features a gable roof, have been spared for many years.
However, the city always demands a building suitable for that era. And with that energy, the city will continue to regenerate for the future.
The Kabukiza Theater as a building has fully fulfilled its mission.
Let's leave the future development of this area to the new theater.
 
A year later, even if you visit here again, the building will be covered with soundproof boards for demolition.
You will not show him.
Press and hold the shutter.
