 Recently, there are many tours to explore the back alleys of Ginza, not limited to historical women. Today, I will show you around the back alley of Ginza. Well, let's go 

 
There are many antenna shops in each prefecture in Chuo Ward, from Ginza 1-chome to 4-chome. Enter the alley between "Ginza Okinawa Shop" in Okinawa Prefecture and "Marugoto Kochi" in Kochi Prefecture. There may be a slightly fashionable stand bar where you come out, right?　When you enter the alley of Sachi Inari, you will find Japanese food and Ichijoji in Kaiseki cuisine. Next door is Mr. Fukugi Sushi.

    

 

On the right side of the alley is Italytei, which was founded in 1953.　The corner shop is the antenna shop "tau" in Hiroshima Prefecture, which opened on August 17. Go back on Yanagi-dori St. toward outer moat, pass in front of Hatsuko Endo beauty salon and move to Ginza 2-chome.

When you enter the alley opposite, you will find Bldg., ALBORE GINZA. There are a lot of restaurants. Turn left at the end and it's Cafe Bar Bistro Restaurant "Le chat souriant". This is a sister store of Ginza Lecan L'e crin, which opened in October 2011, and you can enjoy lunch on Weekdays for around 1,000 yen.　Today, after a round, I ordered a holiday lunch course ￥2,300, and enjoyed a very reasonable dish.

The opposite store is Restaurant Spain Bar "Vinuls". When I see the sign saying "I'm doing ice," a summer woman! Ice ☆Señorita, summer man! There was ice senyol. The oyster ice of lemon, strawberry and melon was 300 yen to draw. I went there later, but TAPAS was also delicious. Follow the alley and Nelson's Bar.　I wonder if it was this shop or next to you that could eat game such as venison. A gas lamp street out of the alley. On the right side is Aux amis de vins. Proceed along the Gaslight Street toward Marronnier Street. At the corner of Marronnier Street, Bottega VENETA. 

 

Next time, let's walk on Namiki-dori St. Near Matsuya-dori, "Unohana, Natsuno" on your right. (Proceeding along the alley between TEPCO and marimekko just before that, there was a shop called Christian Constant Paris that sold chocolates with flowers and fragrances, but it was closed now.) Cross Matsuya Street and enter the alley of Ginza 4-chome. The corner shop is Boutique called "ADORE".

　If you proceed along this alley, you will see the sushi "Kitamura", the fish dish "Akishino", followed by the Japanese syllabary. It is Hodo Inari that is enshrined in the opposite direction. Visit and turn left at the end of the alley. Totei, famous for its eel dishes. Let's have tea on the second floor of Matsuzaki Senbei near Tenshodo.

 

 

The next one is 2.　Please look forward to it.

 

Postscript: After passing through the alley between Eikuniya and Tiffany's building on Ginza Street, you will find the Y's Wine Gallery. There may be free tastings of wine on weekends. The left hand is an Italian-style drinking bar. I often go here. You can also enjoy snacks at around 300 yen for drinks.　If you head to the left, you will see the Yoneivir (Note 1) and Okuno Building. The Suzuki Building (Note 2) is near Miyoshi Bridge. Why don't you go on a journey to see the buildings built in the early Showa era? (Notes 1 and 2 are selected as Tokyo Metropolitan Historic buildings)

When you go out, don't forget Ginza Times and 100 points of Ginza.

 

 

A Japanese restaurant that requires a reservation even during lunch on weekdays.
(I was disturbed last December)

There is a sticker at the entrance saying "I'm full of reservations today"!

The inside is not so large.

There are several types of lunch for 1500 yen only on weekdays.

From among them, we chose "Today's Seasonal Fish Lunch". The fish of the sea bream is boiled.
There was sashimi in the menu.
Today's sashimi was a raw fish that I was not good at, such as tuna.
When I consulted, I was able to change the menu.

First of all. This is a vegetable jelly. It's refreshing and delicious!
Tamagoyaki seems to be a service, but I'm so happy that it's so delicious!

And this shrimp sweet potato is a change menu of sashimi.
It was delicious.

And the main helmet boiled, Dawn Power! I'm scared of my face (laughs)
It was boiled to a good taste, and it was delicious with ginger.

Rice, soup and incense.

The dessert was pear and sweet boiled beans. Angen?

1500 yen is a great deal.

The 3rd floor of a non-conspicuous building on Ginza Gaslight Street.
It was a little hideaway lunch shop!

From September 13th (Thursday), the "Rose of Versailles" is being held at Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square.

It is said that Riyoko Ikeda started serializing in Shueisha's girl manga magazine Weekly Margaret in 1972 that it was called "40th Anniversary". In 1974, it was performed at Takarazuka Revue, and the "Bell Rose Boom" was ignited at once.

 

I went to the venue around 6:00 pm on the 13th, but it was a great success and I felt a strong popularity.

 

The items on display are manga manuscripts that were serialized, Takarazuka Revue costumes, posters and videos, original animation drawings, interviews with the original authors, etc. The event will be held until September 24 (Monday).

Every time I bothered you several times to look for a souvenir wine, I was worried about the "Tasteing Bar" written on the blackboard at the entrance. It seems to have been doing it since 15 o'clock on the weekend. I had no chance while thinking, "in the meantime," and looked at me before dinner with my friend.

He's a great person. When asked the clerk wearing a sommelier badge at the entrance, it seems that today is "special tasting of natural wine for the 2nd anniversary" and you can taste 36 kinds of wine from 9 wine importers. The membership fee is 3500 yen. It seems that it's a little late and it's another cup this time, but the early autumn (already late summer?) It's also nice to taste while looking at the sky. The person in charge of the importer will give you a detailed explanation of each wine.

"Carve Fujiki" was founded in Ginza in 1889 as "Fujiki liquor store". With the expansion of the Mitsukoshi Ginza store, the current shop opens on the 1st floor of the current Mitsukoshi New Building. It's the second anniversary.

"Tasteing bar" starts at 15:00 on weekends and weekends. According to the guidance of the shop, we started a "wine seminar" for wine beginners in September, so please feel free to participate. There are also plans such as "Cheese Seminar", so if you are interested, please visit HP www.ginzafujiki-wine.com.

We couldn't participate and purchased Sicily wine recommended by Sommelier (Somme Reyer). I brought it to the restaurant where I planned to eat. It was perfect for this season with light wine. Next time, let's check the time and participate in the seminar.

Restaurant Bonna Castra is a famous restaurant for cheese fondue and has been a Western restaurant for over 40 years since its establishment.　I used it once at the farewell party at my place of work, but I revisited that lunch could be cheap and delicious from 800 yen.　The information board at the entrance and the price include consumption tax.

Today, I ordered seafood spaghetti, but women from another group were ordering hamburgers.

The coffee after the meal is also dark and rich, yeah! It's delicious!　When you go to Higashiginza, please enter the alley between Higashi drama and Kyobashi Post Office.
