In 1810 (1810), please refer to the article by rosemary sea (Mr. Rosmari) for more information about the history of Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten, which originated in a restaurant opened on the shores of the Nihonbashi Fish River.

The History of Benmatsu-san - Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten-(March 2019)

"Chuo-ku First Story Map" issued by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association has been reborn as a pop design. Currently, it is temporarily closed, but it can usually be obtained at the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center.

The top image is an up of the original Tenugui sold the other day. I am gathering Tenugui, and this is my first time to have such a delicious towel. The model of the design is the white rice lunch box of the signature folding "Namiroku" at Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten.

The details of the lunch box are also summarized in Mr. Rosmali's article. There are a lot of cute and well-organized lunch boxes!

This original Tenugui sold 50 copies of a special collection to commemorate the 170th anniversary of its founding. There was a response from all over the country, and it sold out at a speed of seconds. Due to its popularity, it will be re-selled in May without limiting quantity. Mail-order sales by bank transfer are also possible. It seems that it was distributed to your favorites, so maybe you have a match with that Kabuki actor.

Tenugui's production is "Todaya Shoten" of Nashien dyeing. Mr. Rosmari is now close-up about this shop as well. I was curious about reading the blog, so when I found out that the original Tenugui from Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten belonged to Todaya, my joy doubled.

At Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten, we are planning a version of "Akahan Bento" as the second installment of the original Tenugui. Depending on the sales, the third and fourth bullets are also available. I'm looking forward to it.

In addition, we have decided to sell original toothpicks in collaboration with Japan's only toothpick specialty store, Nihonbashi Saruya. Original toothpicks are sold in full order, and reservations are currently being accepted at Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten. Please apply until April 30.

I think many people have purchased Benmatsu lunch boxes under Depa, but there is also a sales floor that is temporarily closed in response to the recent declaration of a state of emergency. Therefore, during this period, we specially sell lunch boxes and side dishes directly at the head office in Nihonbashi and the factory in Eiyo, Koto-ku. I'm jealous of people living nearby and working. For now, it is sold at the head office on weekdays and at the factory on weekends and holidays, but the sales date, time, and number of sales are fluid, so it is certain to check the latest tweet on the official account. Information on original goods such as resale of Tenugui will also be announced on this occasion.

On June 16 (Tuesday), the Japan Post will issue a special stamp based on small items, food, and buildings in the Nihonbashi area. That "Nanroku" is on a stamp this time! I'm looking forward to this too.

I can't go out freely now, but I'm very happy to be able to enjoy the city of Nihonbashi while staying at home in this way.
