Hatchobori's Italian [OTTO]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 16, 2018 12:00

This shop is close to Hatchobori 2-chome, Hatchobori Station, just off the alley from Shin-ohashi-dori St.

The red sign and red door, red window frame, and inside of the store are cute shops that use red effectively.

I'm sorry to bother you at lunch

The shop has the first and second floors, and since I was alone on the day, I sat down at the counter seats on the first floor.

I ordered a set A.

You can choose a drink or salad for the A set, and the B set has both a drink and a salad.

From 3 types of pasta, choose the bongole pasta of peeled clams.

Raw pasta is thick, chewy, and smooth

The seasoning of Bongore, the flavor of garlic and black pepper is moderate, and there are quite a lot of clams, and it is very delicious.

After 12 o'clock, customers will come in one after another, so it is desirable to enter this shop as soon as possible.

The shop says "pizza & wine, cheese", so I would like to come next night and taste pizza, wine, and cheese.

The lunch time on weekdays is from 11:00 to 14:00, and the dinner time is from 17:00.

Regular holidays are Sunday and public holidays.

Walking in river’s edge in autumn with a dog (first half)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 14, 2018 09:00

The season became better, and it was the best time for a walk.

In the morning, we took a walk along the red dashed line river’s edge on the map below with two dogs.

I walked counterclockwise from A to B, C ...

In the first half, we will introduce A to D.

tukuda201800.jpg

Area A

At the base of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, the remnant of Tsukuda-no-Hari, which remains on the Minato side, is the site of the Tsukuda Island Ferry Terminal.

tukuda201801.JPG

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is a bridge with a simple design that was built in 1964 instead of Tsukuda's ferry.

tukuda201802.JPG

I remember hearing or reading that 1964 was a simple design in time for the last Tokyo Olympics, but it's a bit vague.

The high-rise apartments over Tsukuda Island seen from the sidewalk on the north side seem to see Tokyo and Edo together, and it is a favorite view.

tukuda201811.JPG

Area B

Tsukuda Island was built in 1644 by a fisherman who entered Edo from Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni, reclaimed the mouth of the Sumida River.

It is said that the origin of Tsukudani was that fishermen on Tsukuda Island boiled small fish and shellfish with salt and soy sauce for their preservation food.

tukuda201803.JPG

The remnants of "Tsukuda's ferry" are the ruins of Tsukuda Island ferryboat (Tsukuda side).

tukuda201804.JPG

Next to this monument, there is also stone monument of Hideji Hojo, a playwright who loved Tsukuda Island.

"If it snows, Tsukuda is an old island of Edo."

tukuda201805.JPG

Tsukuda Kobashi, a monument of Tsukuda Island

It spans the Tsukuda River tributary, and the vermilion balustrade is impressive.

tukuda201806.JPG

Area C

It is the site of Ishikawajima Lighthouse

tukuda201807.JPG

The beginning of the Ishikawajima Lighthouse was a nightlight built in 1866 by Ishikawajima Hitoshishoroba magistrate for ships sailing on the Sumida River by human feet.

The Ishikawajimajin Ashojo was made by that "Kihei" Heizo Hasegawa proposed to Sadanobu Matsudaira.

This area is the site of the former Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, where ultra-high-rise apartments stand in the forest.

tukuda201808.JPG

The water bus "Hotaluna" went up the Sumida River.

This is the design of Reiji Matsumoto.

Indeed, a spacecraft on the water

The 13th Antenna Shop stamp rally in Chuo-ku until October 23

[Silver] October 11, 2018 14:00

 The 13th antenna shop stamp rally in Chuo-ku started on October 4th. stamp rally mounts are available at each antenna shop. There are 25 participating stores in each prefecture this year.

If you get stamps from 17 different stores from all 25 stores, you can apply for this booklet with a postcard that fits in. Those who collect stamps from all 25 stores will be automatically entered in the "Complete Award" assortment of prizes provided by all W Chance stores.

 Read the explanation on the stamp rally antenna shop guide and make the most of the use of coupons and coupon benefits.

"For the first 200 people, ..." can only be received as soon as possible during the event. "For the first 20 people every day ..." It must arrive early in the store opening. Today, it was a start from noon, so I visited a shop called "For the first 200 people ..." and the shops around it.

Thank you very much for a shop called "5% discount from shopping price". Don't panic, let's use it within the period.

This time, we are also thinking of exploring sweets in each prefecture.

For example, at one of the shops I visited today, "Food Kuni Fukuikan", I purchased it because Hafuju mochi is popular.

A little New York Times - a town walk with a public bath―

[Ino-chan] 12:00 on October 8, 2018

NYT.jpg

October 10 is the day of the public bath.

You can easily find the official website of the Tokyo Bath Association just by searching for "1010".

 

_DSC1368.jpg

 

On October 7, a "Sento Certification" was also conducted.

This test was once performed around November 26 (a good bath day).

It's a little trivia.

 

There are currently 9 public baths in Chuo Ward.

In this correspondent blog, sometimes the topic of public baths appears.

 

_DSC1377.jpg

 

As a bath lover, I went around more than 100 public baths in Tokyo alone.

It is a real pleasure to enjoy the feeling of traveling while staying in Tokyo in combination with walking around the town.

 

Some of the public baths are no longer available, and the modern building on the site is built.

I don't feel lonely when I look at it, but it's created by the city with the times.

Evidence that has changed. It's a nostalgic memory now.

 

By the way, those who have taken the "Sento Test" have just waited for the results, but

We have just started applying for the Chuo-ku Tourism Test this month.

 

Autumn deepens and the holiday weather continues.

Take the "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" in one hand and walk around the town and go to Onsen tour.

Please go out.
