 The 11th EDO ART EXPO, "The actors depicted in Ukiyo-e" and "Edo "Japanese calligraphy Exhibition" are being held simultaneously. The period is from September 21 to October 9. Please go out early so that you don't miss it.

 Today, I have seen 10 ukiyo-e paintings on display at the Senbikiya Sohonten on the second floor of Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower. There is a description below the picture.

 And it's "Ono Komachi" by Kiyocho Torii. In his heart, he shouted "Yamatoya!" in his heart, depicting the aesthetic sense from the Edo period and the behavior of a smart actor.

The organizers of this event are NPO Tokyo Net, sponsored by Tokyo, Chuo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Minato-ku, and Sumida-ku. It is a grand event supported by many companies and supported by their cooperation. It's around this time when there is a cool sign of autumn. We recommend "EDO ART EXPO Tour" for both health and gastronomy.

Mid-Autumn Moon (Fifteen Nights)

[Sam] September 25, 2018 18:00

DSC07227RELS'.jpgDSC01465LSBG.jpg This year, September 24 is August 15 in old calendar, and the mid-autumn moon (15 nights).

During this period, the moon rises in the clear night sky at an angle suitable to look up, making it the best season for moon viewing.

This day was cloudy all over the country.

Although it was a worrisome sky, the clouds were cut off in the city center and I was able to enjoy the moon viewing.

From the Sumida River Terrace of Shinkawa Park (Shinkawa 2) along the Sumida River, a fantastic circle "moon" is appearing in the night view corner of the Okawabata River City Condominiums.

By the way, since the phases of the moon are not perfect one month, the mid-autumn moon (15 nights) is not necessarily the full moon, and this year, September 25 is the full moon.

It will be the second store of the eel shop "Shirayuki" right next to it.

It is located on the second floor of the Hong Kong-en Hatchobori store, which I introduced the other day.

The nearest station is Hatchobori Station, which is about a 4-minute walk away.

This is an izakaya where you can enjoy authentic eel dishes with karaoke at night, but it is a restaurant where you can enjoy a relaxing meal during the day.

Because it is on the second floor, it is quiet and has a snack-like interior, so you can eat calmly.

As for the lineup of lunch, "Tsukimi Oyakodon", "Yaki Gyudon", "Sukiyaki Nabe", "Motsunabe", and "Unashige" are lined up. Today, I ordered "Unatamadon" is.

Lunch time is from Monday to Friday from 11:30 to 13:20 until the last order. In the evening, from 17:30 to 22:30 until the last order.

On Saturday, it will be open only at night.

Regular holidays are Sunday and public holidays.

Thank you for lunch with vegetable salad and soup.

"Unatamadon" has a very good match between eel and egg, and the sauce (dashi) soaked in rice is delicious.

The store's response is also pleasant

There are plenty of night banquet plans (e.g., karaoke singing all-you-can-eat karaoke, secondary party courses, etc.)

I'll come again.
