Lunch at Omi-chanpon specialty store "Champontei Sohonke"!

[JRT felt] 12:00 on March 5, 2019

It has been raining for the first time in a long time in Tokyo, where Karakara has been dry all the time.
The temperature drops and I want to eat something warm!
Shall I have ramen? Yes, I want to think about my body and eat vegetables....
While thinking, I passed in front of the Inns along Sotobori-dori St. (Nishi-Ginza-dori), and a signboard jumped into my eyes.

Is it warm enough to eat vegetables and improve women's strength? I have to try this! So go straight to the shop!

This shop is a system where you can buy a meal ticket at a ticket vending machine after entering the store and then sit down.
This time, I ordered a few noodles of "Vegetable Plenty Champon". It's 830 yen.

When I went to the back of the store with a meal ticket, the clerk guided me to the seat, "Please come here."
The inside of the store seemed to be able to seat about 30 people, such as counters and table seats, and it was quite spacious and open.

This is an Omi-chanpon specialty store that originated in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture in 1963!
I would like you to eat carefully cooked golden soup and locally harvested vegetables.
It is the soul food of Shiga, born from the thought of it.

I have been transported a little while waiting!
There are plenty of vegetables (cabbage, green onions, carrots, sprouts) and meat. I ordered a small amount of noodles, but it was enough.

According to the information of the shop, the soup is based on "golden dashi", which is carefully boiled in six types of fishbushi and kelp in the Ohagama in the store, and uses not only vegetables but also domestic products such as Shiga Prefecture.
The specialty of the shop "Golden Dashi" is delicious with the umami of seafood!
I love to eat Champon with "Vinegar", and I had plenty of it this time.
The noodles are popular whole grains (wheat skin) from women who are sensitive to beauty and health.
It seems that it is blended, surely there is no falsehood on the sign for improving women's power (laughs)

In the store, various information about Omi Champon and the shop was posted.

I thought Champon was suitable for men like ramen, but I was convinced that there were many female customers.
I want to eat noodles! But ramen is perfect for women who are not good at it.

If you want to show me Ginza.

[Koedo Itabashi] 18:00 on March 4, 2019

"What's going on in Ginza now?"

"Yes, as always, there are many inbound people.

Brands from all over the world are gathering, and it looks like an international city."

"I have time, but I won't go."

"Hey, now Ginza.

It's hard for people who know many famous Ginza stores.

I didn't have a chance to come for a while.

 

Start from the 4-chome intersection.

This is a guts point where people who come to Tokyo renew their determination, "Okay, I'll do my best in Tokyo."

The 30-year land price announced by the NTA in July last year was 44.32 million yen per square meter of Ginza Chuo-dori. It is over 100 million yen in tsubo.

This is the highest ever, and this position of Hatoi Domae has been the highest in Japan for 33 consecutive years.

When arranged on the floor, the thickness of the 10,000 yen bill will be how many centimeters, I think about the difficulty of paying inheritance tax while each person.

 

Tokyo Hatoido Ginza Main Store. It's a long-established stationery store.

Fresh fragrance of incense and incense stick welcomes visitors.

Seasonal scent of plums and cherry blossoms, aroma of coffee.

The smell can be trapped once and taken out again.

Brushes, ink, and Japanese paper crafts. I am also interested and pleased with overseas people.

"I thought it was a cookie or a sable confectionery shop." There were some people.

 

GINZA SIX is one of the largest commercial facilities in the region, opened on April 20, 2017.

At the opening, the duet of Ringo Shiina and Tortoise Matsumoto performed a gorgeous "main street".

It's interesting to go around the shop, but let's go up to the rooftop.

The roof garden. While you are in the middle of Ginza, the large sky is spreading.

If you walk along the corridor, you will see Skytree in Tokyo Tower.

Above all, the Ginza 4-chome intersection. You can look down at the point where you were before.

Is that land a billion yen?

You can also visit Kakugo Inari Shrine from the Ginza Matsuzakaya period on the rooftop.

As a god of fire protection.

 

Walk along Chuo-dori toward Ginza 7-chome intersection.

Turn right west at the corner of Shiseido Building and enter Hanatsubaki-dori Street.

If you go along the northern sidewalk, you will see the stone pillar of "Fengiwa Inari Shrine" which is likely to be overlooked.

Yes, there is an alley where you can't see ahead.

Let's go into the alley.

There are places where your feet are leaning, so be careful.

On the left side of the crank, a small red painted shrine hall appears.

Fengiwa Inari Shrine is situated in the alley.

The dimness around you excites the atmosphere.

Kabuki's Hazaemon Ichikawa visited the shrine, and many people involved in performing arts came to visit.

It is a shrine that benefits from fire prevention and marriage.

Well, let's go down the alley ahead.

That's a dead end.

No, no, go straight ahead.

Let's go through the wonder zone of Ginza, which is sometimes featured on TV.

 

This course was well received by regulars of Ginza shopping.

This is probably because the sense of seeing Ginza three-dimensionally is linked to unexpected discoveries.

 

 

 

Hall cake in Dalloyau

[Map★] 18:00 on March 3, 2019

Last year, Dalloyau Ginza Main Store closed,
In Ginza, you can only buy it at Mitsukoshi.
 
Birthday cake in December 2018
I tried to call Dalloyau.

 
Speaking of hall cake in Dalloyau, the tent worm coxinel is famous,
What other hall cake is there for people at Ginza Mitsukoshi shop?
I asked him what a chessboard cake is.
When I looked it online, it was so cute, so I did this.
 
By the way, chessboard in French
It is called l'echiquier Recikier, and this is the name of the cake.
 
Milk, dark and white chocolate in the shape of a chess piece is also fashionable.

It's not too sweet, it's like a cake for adults!
That's Dalloyau.
Even though it is a whole cake, I am surprised at the price of 3240 yen!
 
Every year, various patissier Christmas cakes,
7,000 yen is not so delicious.
I thought it was very expensive.

Closed selling due to moving Ginza Tenshodo

[Ginzo] 14:00 on March 2, 2019

 The building of Tenshodo in Ginza 4-chome. At the corner, it seems that an angel with a balloon on the wings is watching something.

I was worried about why I was wearing a balloon, so I found a notice on the outer wall.

1550791252307.jpg

There is a notice of Finalsale. Please refer to it when choosing a gift such as a watch.

 I'm going to see the railway model as soon as possible.

1550791309289.jpg

If you look at HP again,

There was a message saying, "With the rebuilding of the Tenshodo Building, it will be relocated on March 17 ..."

Please see the website of the announcement here. http://www.tenshodo.co.jp/

Looking at the company's history, it opened in 1879. It is said that Koyo Ozaki and other literary artists, who published the first edition of "Gold Yasha" in the Yomiuri Shimbun, also went well. (The word "gold-colored yasha" written by Koyo Ozaki is blinded by diamonds. It's famous.

 

 

I encountered the first noon festival of Ko Inari Shrine!

[JRT felt] 12:00 on March 2, 2019

As I walked around Ginza 1-chome, I saw a flag set up.
20190214_141142.jpg

On February 14th, when I thought there was something, I came across the "Hatsuno Matsuri" held at Ko Inari Shrine in Ginza 1-chome, so I would like to introduce it.


Hatsuuma is the first day of the afternoon in February, and the first day festival dates back to the first day of February 711, when Inari Ogami was first enshrined at the three peaks of Mt. Inari. It is a festival that honors the vast deity of Ogami.

On the day of the event, he came to chief priest from Hie-jinja Shrine to give felicitation, so I was nervously looking at Shinto ritual, which I usually do not see in front of me.
After giving congratulations to chief priest, people who seemed to be local officials came one after another with Sakaki in hand.


20190214_144856.jpg

The general public also asked me to come freely, and I also visited.

20190214_141551.jpg

In the cold, it was worth seeing until the end.
It is said that if you visit Inari Shrine at the beginning of the day, it will be beneficial.

When you come to Ginza 1-chome, please come and visit "Ko Inari Shrine".

About Ko Inari-jinja Shrine
A shrine that has been enshrined in Ginza 1-chome since the Edo period. (1-5-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku)
enshrined deity is Ukanomitama no Kami. It is the Mikogami of Susano Ogami, the same god as Uminomitama no Mikoto.
The exact origin is unknown, but it is said that it was recommended by Fushimiinari in Kyoto and was enshrined here.
In the Edo period, there were swords and Wakizashi cities, so there was a time when it was called "Tachiuri Inari".
It is also known for its benefits for marriage, prosperity of business, and safety at home. It is a shrine that was rebuilt by the people living in the city even after the Great Fire of the Meiji era, the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the war.

 

 

It's almost spring.

[Gintanuki] 09:00 on March 2, 2019

At Ginza Sony Park

The tropical "cycad" is thriving, giving you a warm and warm atmosphere.

 

In the basement, a puppy robot "AIBO" with a length of about 30 cm will welcome you.

I am happy when I move in response to "Sitting" or "Hand" or stroke my head.

I don't know how much you understand human language.

It will evolve and reward you for healing.

 

By the way, it's almost spring.
