The season of new soba has come! Along with the history of Choju-an.
It is often said that "heat and cold to the equinoctial week", and when approaching in late September, the air changes at once and the sign of autumn begins to fill. Even if you are worried about the remaining heat in the daytime, investigating the wind in the morning and evening will surely make you feel the coming of autumn.
At that time, I like soba, and I'm excited about the word "I started making new soba" on the eaves of a soba shop in the town. When you make a mellow soba, your feelings are refreshed as if you smell the scent of satoyama. I'm looking forward to visiting the soba shop at this time.
There are many soba shops in Chuo Ward, where you can find not only famous places but also unique shops in each town. It can be said that one of the pleasures is to pass through the goodwill of your favorite soba shop.
The brands of soba shops such as "Sarashina", "Yabu", and "Sandbox" are famous, but "Chojuan" is also a familiar name that can be found here and there. The name "Chojuan" begins when a person named Sochichi from Mikawa opened a store in Edo (Kyobashi Gorobei-cho) in the Genroku era. After that, he moved to Ginza, furthermore Japanese shop curtain split, and the name spread throughout Edo.
[Kyobashi Gorobei-cho] later became a part of [Maki-cho] in the early Showa era, and is now a corner of [Yaesu 2-chome]. Just follow the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station toward Ginza, and turn around Kajibashi Street toward Kyobashi. The fact that the birthplace of the venerable Choju-an is located in Chuo-ku is why it seems to be a "food town".
By all means, please enjoy the flavorful "Shin Soba" at your favorite soba shop.
