[Silver] Nov. 24, 2018 18:00

I went to the nearest liquor store, Imada Shoten from grand shrine. "Shinkawa No. 1 Ship" was sold in Ichisho bottle.

I'm not confident that I could empty a bottle by myself, so when I looked for a sake of four bottles (720ml), I recommended a sake called "Sohana". In the Edo period, you can see the scenery where young sake arrived from above by barrel boat.

When I entered the precincts, a lot of sake barrels were dedicated to the left. This is the first time I see. A barrel of sake called Shinkawa No. 1 ship was also dedicated.

There was an explanation about Komono barrel.

The explanation is as follows.

"Consecration Sake Komono barrel

 During the Edo period, Shinkawa prospered as a wholesaler of "downhill sake", which was introduced to Edo from the upper part of sake (sake), a famous brewery. Founded here in Kanei 2 (1625), Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine has been revered as a guardian deity for sake wholesalers and sake brewers. At that time, sake was packed in wooden barrels to Edo and transported by a special barrel boat, but it is said that the beginning of Komokan (Komo barrel) was wrapped around Komono to prevent damage to the barrel. You. In order to distinguish it from other brands, Komono was designed to represent the characteristics of each brand. The Komo barrels (Nito barrel = 36L) piled up here were donated by Keijinkai members who have been connected to Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine for many years, as well as religious breweries from all over the country. is. I would like to thank the people who consecrated us and wish that the industries responsible for the traditional food culture of Japan, including the alcoholic beverage industry, will be more and more prosperous.

On the website of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, you can see the picture of "Shinshuban Funae To Shinkawa Iritsuzu". http://shinkawadaijingu.or.jp/gallery/gallery1/shinshubanwsen/

 Next time, I will go to find the sake that is dedicated.

The main dish is prepared bread with a sense of volume as a whole.

Rankings of sales that are stuck in stores and stores.

I purchased the number one tomato ball.


Prepared bread. jpg

The bread is solid and the taste is mayonnaise and cheese.

It's surprisingly easy to eat because of the sour taste of tomatoes.

It's a lot of volume, and the costpa is great.

I feel the spirit of a long-established bakery.

It's an early one. If you are interested, please.

Walk along the ruins of Echizen moat!

[Hikoharu Co., Ltd.] Nov. 11, 2018 14:00


Echizen moat was a moat surrounding the Matsudaira Echizen Mamoru Nakayashiki in the Fukui Domain, and was built with bridges such as Kaijo Bridge and Sakae Bridge. This time, we are planning to walk around the ruins of Echizen moat. At the current address, start from Shinkawa 1-chome along the Sumida River, cross the Echizenbori Children's Park, cross the Akimasa Elementary School diagonally, go along Yaesu-dori toward Tsukuda near Shinkawa 2-chome, and join the Sumida River again. It becomes.

It will be a start from the vicinity of the right bank of Shinkawa in the previous project. Even now, there was an apartment where the place name of Echizenbori was left. It seems that Echizen moat had passed through the premises of this apartment.

 

IMG_1718.JPG IMG_1720.JPG

And when you cross Kajibashi Street, you will see Echizenbori Children's Park on your left.

 

IMG_1727.JPG IMG_1721.JPG

Echizenbori changes the direction to the south in this park and heads to Akimasa Elementary School.

In Echizenbori Children's Park, there are information boards for the ruins of Echizen moat and stone walls that have actually been excavated.

And there are stone monuments of Rei Kishijima, explanation boards about the origin of Rei Kishijima.

IMG_1723.JPG IMG_1725.JPG

IMG_1734.JPG IMG_1735.JPG

Then, break diagonally in the school grounds of Akimasa Elementary School and proceed along Yaesu-dori toward Tsukuda.

 

IMG_1737.JPG IMG_1739.JPG

At the intersection of Shinkawa 2-chome, there was Echizenbori Pharmacy, which claims to be "Echizenbori".

This Echizenbori Pharmacy is a pharmacy with a history of starting a drugstore in 1923 (1923).

In the planting in front of the shop, there was an explanation board of "Echizenbori no Machiishi".

In front of you, you can see the apartments of Chuo-ohashi Bridge and River City 21.

Now, Tsukuda is in front of you.

IMG_1742.JPG IMG_1744.JPG

Like last time, traces of Echizen moat could not be found.

And now, the address display of "Echizenbori" has disappeared, but it was barely left with the park name, apartment name, and store name, and I was able to discover it.

Even so, the Daimyo residence in the Edo period was big! I felt like walking around the city.
