Shirosaki station

When asking Adachi-ku, Tokyo, what is it to associate?
Although I think that the impression of downtown after Showa era is also strong, around Nishiarai Daishi this time around, there are many shops that founded the Edo period and the Meiji era, history also old. In recent years, new topics are open too. The hybrid approach that unique nishi of Nishiarai Daishi has been formed.
This time we will introduce Nishiarai Daishi's nearest station "Taishi-ekima Station" around.

You can play for as long as 100 yen! Candy candy shop "Cosmo" that parents and children can pass by 2 generations

First of all, I introduce a candy store "Cosmo" which has been picked up in many media and magazines and boasts a nationwide popularity name from some of the good stuff.

"Cosmo" is about 10 minutes on foot from Tobu Daishin Line "Otsushimae Station" and about 1 km away. Turn into the main road New Road from Ring-7, go straight ahead.

Mainland Road, where the streets of Showa remains, are scattered with retro shops such as coffee shops, electric shops, sporting goods shops, sewing machine shops, and you should feel plenty of Showa nostalgia.
After a while, you can see a yellow sign written as "Daikokuya" on your right. Turning to the right side of the signboard, turn right and you will find the desired candy shop "Cosmo".

When entering the store, shelves are filled with nostalgic sweets.
Plum jam, cocoa cigarette, string drawer, chocolate butt, agar bow, Taro Karaki, vinegar san Taro ...... I grabbed a 100 yen coin in a jewelry sweet spreading in front of me and I was worried about what to buy I remember my childhood.
Perhaps the readers also thought that the use of 100 yen when it was small was a big decision to affect life.

"This shop started 35 years ago, I always thought that I wanted to make places that I could play with 100 yen for children, I made it to a candy store that can play games." (Owner: )

Within the shop, plush models, Famicom softs, toys such as beakumas, and the game enclosure (kyoto) are placed narrowly together with milk cakes. You can play any game with 10 yen on the cabinet at that time such as "Street Fighter II", "Final Fight", "Metal Slug" (tearful tears for men in their 30s and 40s!).

"Uchi was doing 35 games a year, 10 yen.When I put the latest games, I did it with a setting of 30 yen at the maximum.If other shops are 50 yen or 100 yen, if it is 10 cents for my place Since I can play, I made a queue of children to the outside of the store in the past. "

50 yen for children, 100 yen for big money. I grasp my pocket money after school and I can see the elementary school students gathering at Cosmo.

Every time the cabinet broke down, my husband bought parts for repair, but there are many things that I can not get any more, so I hear that games that I can not play are increasing little by little.
Of course, it can not be repaired at the moment even with the manufacturer.

"I bought parts at a wholesale town in Kuramae, but the wholesaler has gone quickly and it's getting older and parts can not be adjusted because I can not fix it.When I do it at 10 yen I will ask the manufacturer to repair Because I can not get the original, I fixed it myself from the time I bought it "

Is not it an episode that makes us feel the transition of the times even if it is not.
Cosmo, a miscellaneous shop that has been broken and repaired for 35 years, and has been offering for 10 yen for children.
Even elementary school students and families guests came to visit on the news gathering day.

"I just want you to play cheaply and fun anyway. Instead, I do not make any money at all (laugh), but it's okay for me to have fun because I am having fun!" (Ms. Umino)

It seems that there are many people who came to visit with two years old as parents who took their children. In one painting in Adachi-ku, the Showa is still firmly left.

Street address:Adachi Ward 2-22-20(MAP

Business hours:2 PM - 7 PM

There are more than 10 different types of vending machine and rare pokka vending machines as if they were time slipping from Showa.
This vodka machine of Pokka is about a rare age as a vending machine mania came to interview (rumors with only "Cosmo" in operation all over the country!).

Attraction around Mr. Oshosaka station attracts mix of old and new

The shopping area around Tobu Daishin Line "Oshirosee Station" is called "Nishiarai Daisykai Shokai Kai".
There are many sweets shops such as cafe which can enjoy sweets of new sensation from long-established store that lasts 3 to 4 at this business venue.

Taisei established in 1911. "Kadoya" to protect the unchanging taste for nearly 100 years in Taisyushi

"Kadoya" founded in Taisho 11 (1922) is a sweet and eating dish of a long-established store that cuts off at the 4th generation and the 5th generation.
Feet are invited unexpectedly to the retro shop style which imitated the image of the downtown as it is.

"Kadoya" specialty is "Imagawa Yaki" (100 yen) that keeps taste at the time of its establishment.
The fabric is fluffy and the sweetness of the bean paste is modest.
It is perfect for walking in Nishiarai stroll.
The meal menu is just like a set menu restaurant in downtown.
"Yakisoba small" (350 yen) and homemade noodles (350 yen), ramen (500 yen) are particularly popular, and ramen is traditional old-fashioned Chinese soba.
Simple yakisoba only with blue leaves, you can apply special sauce prepared in the table.
The atmosphere and price are precious shops that left the side of the early Showa era.

Bean specialty store! About 200 kinds of products are slurry!

まめ屋Adachi-ku Nishiarai 1-9-13 2nd Tachiguchi and Building 101(MAP

Bean specialty shop near the mountain gate of Doshisha Nishiarai "Mameya" is popular with traditional Japanese bean confections and modernly arranged bean products.
Amidst the most popular among about 200 kinds of items such as Amami, sweets, raw noodles, "Kinakomime" (390 yen).
Fruit-flavored large-sized flower beans are covered with kinako, excellent compatibility with tea.

Also popular with alcoholic snacks and a little sweets is "Furaijyozu" (280 yen ~).
A lot of goods are also perfect for lunch time snacks such as "black pepper flavor" "wasabi flavor" "mayonnaise flavor" etc!

All product tasting is possible, but this is very dangerous. When I start tasting with polypoly, this is Polypoly, it will not stop ... ....
This is exactly the taste that draws afterwards.

Senbei rice which preserves the taste of tradition. Individuality of each shop glows

You should notice that there is something when you walk down the approach of Daisuke Nishiarai with Imagawa Yaki, bean confectionery.

"Will it become fat if you keep on like this?"

It is a life or death problem for those who are also women or diet.
However, there are still plenty of delicious things in Taishi-sama!

"There are lots of rice crackers!"

That is right. Just around Nishiarai Daishi, there are four rice crackers as well.
Moreover, most of the shops boast a long history of the Meiji foundation and are baked carefully by hand-baked.
Muu ... ... It may be a good idea to forget your diet on such a day. The shops handling rice crackers in this shopping district will be the following 4 stores.

· Izumiya(1-7-12 Nishiarai, Adachi-ku)(MAP)
· Suzuki and
(1-5-10 Nishiarai, Adachi-ku)(MAP)
Asaka family
(1-7-15 Nishiarai, Adachi-ku)(MAP)
· Osawa Shop
(1-6-4 Nishiarai Adachi-ku(MAP)

Even if you say rice cracker in a bite, there are features.
"Izumiya" is also a long-established store of Meiji foundation, hand-made baked rice crackers carefully baked one by one using Bincho charcoal is excellent item.
Rich crackers such as rice cracker of 3 cm square which is considered as one sentence, rice cracker sauce of soy sauce taste, fried rice cracker salted with steamed baked crab are contained in a round and square glass case.
When it is expressed as a brand showcase, it is exaggerated, but if a common-rupe rice cracker is in a glass case, it will shine and appear (taste is also wonderful!).

izumiya

"Suzuki" sells "rice crackers" and "something" together.
What is it?

That is Dharma.
Why are Dharma and rice cracker? Although it is doubtful, considering the fact that it is a city developed originally with the worshiper of Nishiarai Daishi, it will come to a point of intersection.
Dharma has long been a popular luck for visitors.
And I liked the combination of what I can eat while walking (the road was not maintained as much as now, there were no buses or railroads).
Visit Nishiarai Daishi and buy auspicious Dharma and rice crackers for souvenirs.
It seems that there was demand for such worshipers, such as eating rice crackers on the way back home.

And "Asaka family" is a famous cracker called rice cracker called "Magome Yaki" (1 piece 200 yen).
Compared with other rice cracker, it is heavy heavily, you can see that the contents are packed.
And it is really hard.
However, the umami is also condensed, and excellent in eating is also excellent. Those who have healthy teeth, please try 'Magomeki.'

"Osawa Shoten" is a shop of rice cracker and candy. We sell colorful beautiful candies such as Kintaro candy and Shichigosan's Chitose candy and hand-grilled senbei.

By all means, when visiting Daisuke Nishiarai, we recommend eating rice crackers and eating.

Then you should notice something.

"Will it become fat if you keep on like this?"

But, if you come to Taisyou, I would like you to eat delicious food. Because the introduction still continues.

Grass dumplings, eat right or eat from the left

Many people associate with Daisuke Nishiarai will be famous grass dumplings.
From the approach to the mountain gate of Nishiarai Daijyo,

"Grass dumplings, how are you!"

And immediately before that we will be invited with loud voice from the left and right. It will definitely be done.

The voice heard from the right is "Nakadaya".
From the left you can hear "Shimizuya".

Both are traditional shops that are famous for exquisite grass dumpling. Both stores are famous shops that continue from the Edo period.

When a vigorous voice is applied from the left and right, many people taste first either.
And in my mind I intend to taste one more store, but I will bring out tea at a good timing.
It is a worrying feeling. Also, the combination of grass dumplings and tea is really exquisite.
While holding a breath, I never thought of a good smile and said "Please give me a box."
But no one will lose. It is a really delicious grass dumpling.

shimizuya2

Both stores are really delicious, but there are minor differences.
I think that you can check it by yourself.
Grass Dango, do you eat from the right? Or from the left? (The left and right are reversed as seen from the mountain gate!)

Grass dumplings are said to have been derived from the legend that Kobo Daishi decided to inflict mugwort, which is a raw material of grass dumplings, as a sick person and quickly healed when plague epidemic became popular.

Conclusion

大師前
This time, I introduced a wide range of shops as a theme of sweets as a way of enjoying around Taisharo.
Even just introducing it, Edo, Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, the founding year of the shop straddles the five era.
Although it is easy to clean up in a word that "old and new is mixed" in a word, it seems that we saw that the area around Shirosaki station had a very long history and it was an interesting city where various elements were mixed.

Well, next time I would like to touch on the charm of Daisuke Nishiarai!

>>Last time "Train full of rare elements in Japan!" Tobu Daishin Line "runs downtown today as well"
