Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Kochi's antenna shop, Marugoto Kochi, is a base for transmitting people, goods, and things in Kochi.

Earlier, I introduced salad dressings in Maji Village, but this time I would like to introduce a restaurant.

On the second floor 　of Ginza 1-chome antenna shop "Marugoto Kochi", there is a restaurant "Okuyaku". In Shikoku, entertaining visitors is called "customer." Speaking of Kochi, fresh fish dishes such as "bonito notaki" are famous.

Today, for lunch, I had 1400 yen for "Tosa Akaushi no Sukiyaki Gozen". The rice and miso soup were free.

Next time, I would like to eat "Straw-yaki Shimanto Chicken Oyakodon" 1000 yen. Prices include consumption tax. After meal, "Tosa Bincho charcoal Roasted Coffee" was fragrant and delicious.　

In addition, the store is called "Ryoma, Edo swordsmanship training path", and is decorated with illustrations of Ryoma, Sadakichi Chiba's daughter, Sana.

After all, the fact that the Tokyo Forum was the upper residence of the Tosa clan, the Chuo-ku government office was the Nakayashiki of the Tosa clan, and the historical fact that the dojo of Sadakichi Chiba was in Okemachi, recalling the description of `` Ryoma Goes '' It seems fun to exchange sake.

The second house in my series is Sobaya.

　
It's a soba shop in Ginza Five.
There are about half-seat seats and standing seats.

I was lucky because I had a seat to sit down.

　

　

I'd like to order at the cashier at the entrance.
There were people in the back, and I was impatient to decide quickly.
It's hard to see the menu, so I made it by my meat.
I found a big menu in the store later,
There's "My Wagyu Beef Soba"
I thought I should have done that.

　

　

It was so large that I couldn't eat a little more. 。 。
The woman sitting on the other side has one soba with two people.
I was sharing it.
It's a nice amount for men!

　

In addition to soba, meat and fish dishes.
There were a lot of things that looked delicious.
I couldn't relax because it was Saturday lunch.

　

Next time, Foiegra truffle Sirloin
I'd like to try a Rossini style.

　

Soba I'm GINZA5

The 11th "EDO ART EXPO" will be held from September 21 (Fri) to October 9 (Tue), 2018.

I heard that the relocation of Tsukiji Market to Toyosu is in a hurry for the implementation on October 11.

After the relocation of Toyosu, a road connecting the Olympic athlete village and the main competition venue will be improved.

The success of Japanese players will be conveyed at the Asian Games and tennis grand slams that have made Japan hot, and when recruiting volunteers begins, the mood will be uplifted toward 2020.

　

As the schedule for the Tokyo Olympics progresses, there are things that are a little worrisome.

It is the "only railroad crossing traffic signal left in Ginza" on the site of "Hamarikyu Mae Railroad Crossing".

A freight branch line on the Tokaido Main Line to branch off from Shiodome Station and draw cargo into Tokyo Ichiba Station.

1.1km long. It's a remnant of the railroad crossing set up there.

Although it is far from Loop Route 2, I wonder if it has been removed during a series of development and work processes.

I went to Ginza 8-chome 21-1.

The entrance of Ginza Post Office.

As of September 19, 2018, we were able to confirm its existence properly.

　

Shimbashi Station, located in Minato-ku, is the birthplace of the railway, as listed in the No. 1 of the railway song Tokaido, saying, "I'm away from the whistle Ichi voice Shimbashi." In the vicinity, various railway-related facilities have been left or restored.

In the past, I wrote on my blog in April 2010, "Everybody in Chuo-ku is underground", but the railway facilities remaining on the ground surface in Chuo-ku are surprisingly rare and valuable.

　

In Tsukiji Market, you can see the remnants of various goods being collected and shipped by boat from the banks of the Sumida River by freight train, by land using trucks.

The building facing the Sumida River in Tsukiji Market is tightly fan-shaped, indicating that the railway freight service line had entered the back of the hall.

At its peak, 150 wagons passed a day.

A number of freight trains loaded luggage and shipped nationwide.

When I was young, I lived in a local city, and I was attracted to freight trains connecting various forms of wagons and counted the number of connected wagons.

The freight train I saw would have crossed the Hamarikyu crossing from Tsukiji, assembled and transported at the Tokyo Freight Terminal in Shiodome.

From the explanation, you can see that this railroad crossing was used until January 31, 1987.

　

This traffic light is actually standing on the sidewalk, and it's a bit lonely.

If you lend me to me, yes, I would like to breathe in as if the signal was turned on and maintain it so that the button could be used to produce a signal sound, but what about?

Are you surprised by the people walking?

No, it was one proposal for leaving a monument, so please listen to it.

※　All images can be enlarged by clicks.

Thank you for waiting. This is a craft confectionery work on the 2nd floor venue.

Here, Mr. Kimiko Gion, General Manager of Crafts Office, Genkichichoan Holdings Co., Ltd., gave an explanation.

He seems to have been involved in the production of this craft confectionery for about 16 years.

From here, the word "" is the story of Mr. Gion.

　

"These were made and brought in Okayama."

"It's a flower called Plumeria in Hawaii. And I'm a bird in Ray, hibiscus.

In Hawaii, a bird was playing like a sparrow (Japanese).

It seems that there are many birds that have become wild.

I would like to introduce this by all means.

Such craft confectionery has a lot of parts, so it takes a lot of time.

Benihawai Mitsusui and Ohiarephia

"It's a famous Hawaiian bird, Benihawai Mitsusui, an extinct bird.

It is a bird that feathers were used for decorations such as Hawaiian king cloaks, Ray, and turnips.

(Don't kill) He takes about three feathers from one bird.

Benihawai Mitsusui likes to suck the nectar of this (blooming on the Ohia tree) refore flower, and always comes out with this composition, so I tried to make it.

hibiscus, of course, is a flower."

・・'The Legend of Hawaii - Ohiarepha

The young lovers who love each other, Ohia and Lefah.

Even if the handsome Ohia is liked by the goddess Pele, Ohia's feelings for refore remain unchanged.

The angry goddess Pele turned Ohia into a tree.

Refore sat on the Ohia tree, and continued to cry every day.

Pele noticed a mistake in his conduct, turned the refore into a flower, and put it on the Ohire tree.

In this way, the two will be connected forever.

Even now, the tree is called Ohire and the flower is refore.

In addition, there is a legend that picking refore flowers will rain.

It is said to be because he crys, thinking that he will be separated from Ohia again.

Benikoenko and Ruri Congouinko

"It's a beautiful bird in the world, so it's a congoinko."

Giant oak and kurihashi

"This is a giant oak. And it's a plant called Streritia.

Ohhashi went to Matsue Fogel Park in Shimane Prefecture to make it.

I saw the real thing, took a picture and made it.

Pigtailbird (weaving bird)

"Ethiopia's grouperbirds, we knit the nest well with grass.

I made it to introduce that there are such birds.

Roses are also often grown in Ethiopia, so I added them.'

The Four Seasons of Japan

"The tree on the left is a tree called a square. It's a square style.

It is a tree named after the neat typeface "square-style" because the leaves are lined up regularly.

The pheasant is also a national bird and a prefectural bird in Okayama Prefecture.

If you look closely at owl, Japanese bush warbler and common kingfisher, you can see beetles and cicadas inside.

Insects have been removed by the supporting role this time.'

・・Mr. Gion, thank you very much.

　　　Please enjoy the world of colored beauty made with sweets of craft confectionery.
