I was excited at the regular meeting of the Tsukiji Reservation Study Group in November
-The story of coming to Perry~

During the Meiji Restoration, a foreign settlement (currently Akashicho area) was opened in Tsukiji.
With the arrival of Kurofune in 1853, Japan's isolation policy was lifted. Trade and settlements with foreign countries and foreign settlements were opened in Yokohama and Hakodate in 1858, bringing Western culture. Tokyo was supposed to open in Tsukiji, but the opening was the last in 1868 due to the history of the Meiji Restoration (in my understanding). The settlement system lasted until 1899.
The NPO Tsukiji Reservation Study Group is studying various things at that time and holding a briefing session. The regular debriefing session is a series of "Hey, was that so!"

The regular report meeting in November will be held at 14:00 on November 26 (Sat) at "Perry's arrival and opening underground field".
The venue is the Catholic Tsukiji Church.

In an unexpected place Admiral Perry

Unexpected Admiral Perry Tsukiji Reservation Study Group Exciting at the regular briefing in November-The Story of Perry's arrival-

I'm looking forward to this report more than usual because I came across Admiral Perry's name in unexpected places.
It was a winery from Long Island, New York that I visited last month.
Some people may think of "Great Gatsby" when they hear Long Island. When Toysler, the founder of St. Luke International Hospital, went to New York to raise funds for hospital construction (1923), I came to mind that I heard the shocking news of the Great Kanto Earthquake over a phone call from a daughter who was staying at an acquaintance's house in Long Island. Since Gatsby's story is set in 1922, is the atmosphere of the times almost the same?

Long Island was a place where you would never go for a lifetime, so be sure to know that there is a "Long Island Winery Tour" accompanied by a Japanese driver! I wished it. In addition, I learned that among some wineries, there is a winery related to Admiral Perry (managed by descendants named after Admiral Perry's brother), and here as a Japanese! Yeah.

Do you think Toysler's daughter stayed in a mansion like Gatsby's house? I arrived at The Old Field Vineyards, the desired winery, looking at the buildings of the 1920s from the train window.
Yes, red wine bearing Admiral Perry's name! (The picture is a bottle label from the leaflet.)
A man who brought the tasting wine set gave me a leaflet describing the connection between Admiral Perry and the winery, saying, "Perry is famous alongside George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in Japan!" Was. Certainly, all three are the names that are always listed in Japanese school textbooks (in my school days).

It was a moment when Perry learned whether he was Commodore, in a section of a vineyard where a fine physique chicken sways. I've always thought it was Admiral. And the first name was Matthew.
As a result of a family review, Admiral Perry's red wine produced in 2019 was omitted from the purchase choice. Maybe you're good. But the unanimous vote in favor of the amateur group is rose wine. I was a little relieved to hear from the driver that Rose was also recommended on the way home.

I've been to Shimoda and Hakodate, where Perry landed, drank wine at a winery related to it, and on November 26, I'm waiting for the regular briefing of the Tsukiji Retaining Study Group!
