Let's explore Shintomiza sake called "Nitomiza"

Let's explore Shintomiza sake called "Nitomiza" The Shintomiza Kyobashi Tax Office has completed its rebuilding work to the new government building on December 14, 2020 (Monday).

　If you look at the explanation board about Shintomiza, you can see that

Shintomiza was a Kabuki theater that took over the Morita-za, which was founded in 1660 in Kibikicho 5-chome (currently Ginza 6-chome, west of Showa-dori).　

"Morita-za," Kanya Morita was the seat for generations, moved to Asakusa Saruwaka-cho (currently Asakusa, Taito-ku) in 1843, and changed it to "Morita-za" in 1858. In 1872, Kanya Moritaza, the 12th generation of Kanya moved to Shintomi-cho, and was renamed Shintomi-za in 1875.

　Shintomiza gathered famous actors such as Danjuro Ichikawa, Kikugoro Onoe, and Sadanji Ichikawa and performed aggressively. .　The theater is a large-scale building that asked for modern styles and was called "Tokyo's first theater", and there were many Kabuki officials living in the surrounding area, and the whole area was a play town.　Until the Kabukiza opened in Meiji 22 (1889), it was a central player in theater performances, but was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.

 　Nishiki-e from the Meiji era, where famous actors are drawn in the background of Shintomiza, shows the prosperity of the past.

　Earlier, I found a four-go bottle of sake called "Shintomiza" at a nearby liquor store. I'd be happy if it's still sold.

 

The origin of the name of Shintomi-cho

About the origin of the name of Shintomi-cho

If you refer to the origin and introduction of the name of Chuo-ku, "There is a theory that the origin of the place name was given to Otomicho from the old days, and that Shin-Shimabara and Otomicho took one character each. "

　I learned such a thing.

　The Edo period was a samurai area. In 1868 (Keio 4.1868), Shin-Shimabara Yukaku was set up for a foreign settlement in Tsukiji. However, he was unable to attract the customers as expected, and was ordered to be removed in June 1871 (1871), and Hanamachi moved to Shin-Yoshihara.　It is written that Shintomi-cho was established on the site.
