"Ningyocho Sasashin"
~ Crown and Azami's Tavern Wandering ~
In Saburo Kawamoto's essay "The Bliss of Izakaya"
"If you are told to list the best three izakayas in Tokyo, you will choose Y, U and S without hesitation."
Y in Morishita, U in Monzennakacho, S in Ningyocho
If you just know which izakaya is just with this initials
You are a good servant.
I think, "The style of drinking is the manners of the tea ceremony."
Tea ceremony is the aesthetic of "hospitality" and "preparation".
It is understood as the spirit of "Wakei Seijaku".
Izakaya, too.
Especially in Ningyocho Sasashin, its aesthetics pierce the forged soul of Shibabe.
In the first place, Shinkawaya Sasaki Liquor, which was founded in 1915 and continues the building, started in 1970.
It is the third generation now, but since the first generation served as a sake wholesaler in Shinkawa, he said.
The name of the liquor store is "Shinkawaya".
In addition, sake is "Chikuyo" derived from the fact of China.
It is a "bamboo leaf" in Japanese expression.
It served the palace since the Muromachi period.
In the wife's words that began to be used among women (wife Nyobo)
It was also called "sasa."
(Example: "Please bring your sas" in historical dramas, etc.)
In other words, "Sasa" in "Sasa Shin" represents sake.
Well, I'm going through a pinned noren.
If you look over, the preparation in the store is polished to every corner and clean.
I don't have any part-time job.
It has a history of more than 50 years and is no longer perfect as a set of movies.
Sit alone at the long counter with your posture correct and sit down
While waiting for the chef and Nakai to respond, examine the appetizer tag on the wall.
Seasonal items, today's recommendation, standard. It's never a "side dish of rice"
It is an appetizer of sake that would have been loved by the common people since the Edo period.
Seasonal items are different every time they come. Don't miss it.
"Pinegar of Matsumo and Mekabu", "canola flower and white fish egg binding", "Aoyagi Toshiki no Fukin Tomiso"
When I passed the order, I watched the cook's kitchen knife handling, and watched it.
While admiring the large but dexterous hand, tilt the sake of exactly the temperature every season.
The appetizers that are optimally measured by honoring the ingredients are often served in time.
Someone asks for "fried Suzuki and Shiroko". Then, "I'm here," and "I'm too."
It's now if you ride it. "I, too."
Then he was shy and everything was moderate, and the tasteful appetizers were tasted.
I speak with a once-in-a-lifetime encounter man sitting next to me about the weather.
Oh, I don't say this bliss, but what do you say?
