away from the neon-lit skyscrapers and frenzied pace of central Tokyo the Fukagawa Edo Museum offers a portal to a bygone era It costs only a few hundred yen to explore this carefully reconstructed neighborhood from the late Edo period (1603-1867) — a time when samurai strolled the streets and merchants sold rice and vegetables out of wooden storefronts Unlike a typical museum filled with mannequins and glass cases Visitors are encouraged to wander its narrow alleyways invite themselves inside a merchant’s home or gaze up at the towering fire watchtower The tableau is completed by a boathouse and other period-accurate structures each built using traditional methods to capture the atmosphere of shitamachi — Tokyo’s historic downtown — in the 1840s The experience is made even more realistic by sound and lighting effects that signal the changing time of day brightening the markets in the morning and casting long shadows in the evening It’s easy to imagine Edo-era residents haggling over fresh fish or gathering for a neighborhood event volunteer guides — some of whom speak English — are on hand to offer deeper insights into daily life during the 1840s For those looking to dive into Tokyo’s past Fukagawa Edo is a great substitute for the much larger Edo-Tokyo Museum which is undergoing extensive renovations and won’t reopen until next year In a city where the past and future frequently collide Fukagawa Edo Museum offers a chance to go back in time Directions: A short walk from the A3 exit of Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station accessible by the Toei Oedo and Hanzomon metro lines Closed on the second and fourth Mondays of each month or the following day if a public holiday falls on those dates Costs: 400 yen for adults; 50 yen for ages 6-18 Food: The surrounding neighborhood hosts a variety of small Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions. Tokyo With the 2025 sakura season now here, this is the time to visit one of Tokyo’s many cherry blossom festivals To get a feel of what hanami (the culture of cherry blossom viewing) was like back during the Edo period (1603-1867) you can visit the annual Oedo Fukagawa Sakura Festival that takes place along the banks of the Oyokogawa River near Monzen-nakacho Station.  The festival grounds are home to 270 somei-yoshino trees we recommend hopping aboard an old school river boat to appreciate the gorgeous this special boat ride will be steered by a boatman with an oar An accompanying boat will be trailing nearby carrying musicians playing the shamisen (traditional Japanese three-stringed instrument) larger engine-powered boats are also available.  Along with the boat rides, the festival will also have street entertainment and food stalls on March 30 at Fukagawabasho street near Kiyosumi-shirakawa station, selling local snacks like grilled clam skewers. Come evening, the blossoms along the Oyokogawa River will be lit up from 5pm to 10pm from Higashitomi Bridge and Etchujima Bridge. facebooktwitterpinterestinstagramAbout us Los Angeles Rams star receiver Puka Nacua stopped by local Gardena Fukagawa to learn about its long history and try some special dishes Tune in for a surprise made Better with Pepsi The Rams will be making their picks from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Air Operations Headquarters officially the Home of the Rams Draft for 2025 Tune in for a sneak peek at which location the Los Angeles Rams will officially call Home of the Rams Draft Los Angeles Rams defensive end Kobie Turner and Think Watts gave Watts Rams members a unique look into the music industry by teaching them the process behind making a song Australia will become the Rams House when the Los Angeles Rams come to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for the first ever regular season NFL game in Australia Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse and defensive end Braden Fiske go head-to-head to be named Defensive Rookie of the Year From Training Camp to the Divisional Round of the playoffs Thank you for filling up SoFi Stadium & cheering on the Los Angeles Rams throughout the 2024 season Los Angeles Rams had a Season Ticket Members Watch Party at COSM to watch the Week 16 matchup against the New York Jets with special appearances by Rampage and Rams Cheerleaders Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua stopped by Yo-Way Eatery to try a delicious pastrami sandwich and gift the owner with a surprise made better with Pepsi Mientras los Rams de Los Ángeles se preparan para su partido divisional este sábado contra los Cardinals de Arizona y Minnie Mouse celebran la última edición de Viernes de datos con algunos datos divertidos sobre los Rams y Disneyland As the Los Angeles Rams prepare for their Saturday night divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals Ricky Hollywood and Minnie Mouse celebrate the last edition of Fact Friday with some fun Rams and Disneyland Resort facts Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and more players test their slicing skills on Choppin' It Up delivered by Little Caesars As the Los Angeles Rams wrap up their Thursday Night Football matchup Camryn Irwin & Minnie Mouse take a trip down memory lane with some 1988 fun facts Mientras los Rams de Los Ángeles cierran su partido del la Semana 15 y Minnie Mouse hacen un viaje al pasado con algunos datos curiosos de 1988 Gary Young is your Los Angeles Rams \"Fan of the Year\" As the Los Angeles Rams prepare for their matchup against the New Orleans Saints this week's Fact Friday gets us ready for the Holiday season with Ricky Hollywood and Mickey Mouse Mientras que los Rams de Los Ángeles se preparan para su partido contra los Saints New Orleans Saints el Viernes de datos de esta semana nos prepara para las fiestas navideñas con animador de los Rams The Mitchell & Ness Legacy Collection celebrates Kenny Washington and the 1946 Los Angeles Rams.

matsuri at Fukagawa’s Tomioka Hachimangu shrine takes place annually but is celebrated in its full glory only once every three years is well known for its unique water-splashing tradition People enthusiastically throw water at the mikoshi (portable shrines) as an act of purification thus creating a playful and cooling experience As the full version of the festival was celebrated just last year this year you can expect a scaled-down – but still impressive nonetheless – version of the festivities which is the mikoshi parade performed by children Featuring an impressive total of 52

there’s a ballad concert at 3pm plus an energetic Iwami Kagura dance performance at 6pm with notable highlights include the jazz performance on August 13 (3pm) and the koto and shamisen performance on August 14 (2pm).  For more information including the festival schedule, check the shrine website. and we welcomed the morning of the third day!On the first and second days we were energetically having breakfast from the morning.For breakfast I had French specialties like bread and flakes which provided the energy for today's activities.In the morning we used the facilities utilized by the top team and academy of the prestigious French club Stade de Reims for training.In training confirming what we have built up and organizing our defense I believe we were able to train in a very good atmosphere I observed the top team's training at Stade de France.I was constantly amazed by the play of players representing Japan and those active in the French league I believe it was a very stimulating time for the players.And took a group photo and provided individual autographs and photo opportunities The time spent interacting with players representing Japan was very precious we had lunch at the restaurant inside the Stade de Reims facility We are recharging our energy for the afternoon training match We also had a brief tour of the facilities and took a cool commemorative photo in the meeting room used by the top team players we held a practice match with the Stade Reims academy which will also participate in the tournament consisting of 20 minutes x 3 periods.I think this is a match that tests how much we can challenge ourselves against a really good opponent and whether we can showcase our play without fearing failure.At the start they tried to connect the ball from the goalkeeper and advance but they struggled with the opponent's intense press and spent a lot of time being pushed back centered around the DF line and the goalkeeper without allowing easy shots.From the middle of the match we gradually started to break through the opponent's press and increased our ability to advance the ball but we still struggled to enter the penalty area and could not take a shot.In defense we applied high pressure from the front to win the ball in coordination we also challenged ourselves to win individually and the first half ended.From the second match and everyone participated.While continuing the good things from the first half we entered the opponent's court with the ball we approached the second half by being conscious of having a vertical option from the start.The options for vertical selection have increased and there have been more passes to the back as well as vertical passes from the midfield and sides.However I am overwhelmed by the speed and power that I have never felt in Japan the way they come to take the ball with their long legs we concede two goals.In the third instance there were scenes where the team moved the ball and took shots increasing the moments of challenge both as a team and as individuals.However and we conceded 1 point,[First Half]0-1[2nd Half]0-2[3rd Match]0-1I think it was a good match that had many good parts and challenges and being able to play against a physically superior opponent before the tournament will be beneficial for the next time.Since we haven't scored a single point We held a meeting after dinner in the evening.We reflected on the football aspects and mainly discussed our daily lives and meals While confirming the team's rules once again we reconsidered our behavior during the expedition We organized what it means to make decisions and take action on our own I want to do my best on the fourth day as well ◇Details for Day 1 and Day 2 are here Departed Narita Airport on April 14 (Monday) and arrived in Paris on the morning of the second day The approximately 20-hour long journey was challenging both mentally and physically we will travel by bus to tour the city of Paris and we enjoyed the sightseeing very much.First take a photo at the Eiffel Tower.The players showed such happy smiles that you wouldn't believe they had just traveled for 20 hours we boarded a cruise ship and had lunch while crossing the Seine River We enjoyed croissants and baguettes sourced locally Before taking free time on the Champs-Élysées at the end of the sightseeing everyone will take a commemorative photo in front of the Arc de Triomphe we split into four groups and acted separately and took photos with each other.I hope that by challenging ourselves to "think and act on our own" in a foreign land the unique experiences will lead to the growth of the players One of the themes of this expedition is whether we can think and act for ourselves we will feel something in the time and space and we look forward to seeing how the players will take action from the third day We will continue to do our best from tomorrow Metrics details The realisation of a cathode with various work functions (WFs) is required to maximise the potential of organic semiconductors that have various electron affinities the barrier-free contact for electrons could only be achieved by using reactive materials which significantly reduce the environmental stability of organic devices We show that a stable electrode with various WFs can be produced by utilising the coordination reaction between several phenanthroline derivatives and the electrode Although the low WF of the electrode realised by using reactive materials is specific to the material the WF of the phenanthroline-modified electrode is tunable depending on the amount of electron transfer associated with the coordination reaction A phenanthroline-modified electrode that has a higher electron injection efficiency than lithium fluoride has been demonstrated The observation of various WFs induced by the coordination reaction affords strategic perspectives on the development of stable cathodes unique to organic electronics flexible optoelectronic devices using reactive materials require stringent encapsulation which hinders the widespread proliferation of flexible devices we report a universal method of producing a stable electrode with various WFs by utilising the coordination reaction between five Phen derivatives and the electrode The surface WF of the electrode can be tuned in the range of 3.29–2.43 eV by forming thin films of a Phen derivative on ITO/ZnO although the WF of the ITO/ZnO electrode is 4.10 eV It was found from density functional theory (DFT) calculation that the change in the WF (ΔWF) has a strong correlation with the amount of ET associated with the coordination reaction The electron-injection efficiency of the electrode basically corresponds to its WF Although the electron-injection efficiency of the electrode modified with p-MeO–Phen is lower than that of lithium fluoride (LiF) the Phen-modified electrode having the lowest WF shows higher electron-injection efficiency than LiF the air stability of the Phen-modified electrode is about ten times higher than that of LiF and the operational stability of the OLED using the Phen-modified electrode is comparable to that of the OLED using LiF a Chemical structure of the Phen derivatives used in this study b Schematic illustration of coordination reaction between p-Pyrrd-Phen and Zn c HeI UPS spectra

ITO/ZnO in the valence band region f Summary of the correlation between ΔWF (vertical axis) and three calculated parameters (horizontal axis) that likely correlate with ΔWF The fact that the amount of ET shows the strongest correlation with ΔWF suggests that ET has the most effect on ΔWF It was found that the calculated amount of ET of a two-molecule system could be a good indicator of ΔWF caused by a coordination reaction a Multilayer structure of an inverted OLED and chemical structure of the materials used in the emitting layer. b Energy-level diagram of inverted OLEDs. c Luminance

I have always loved Otsuji's pale so I was very happy to have my wish come true this time deep riverFuji is a bit far away from where I lived in Iwata City and it takes about an hour to get out to Shizuoka City and even though I would like to do so someday but I was not able to be a member of the group I wanted to ask you about an episode related to the keyword "water." Speaking of water in Nogizaka46's activities I was impressed by your visit to a waterfall in Okinawa for the hit prayer for your 7th single "Baretta but it was really hard work because there was so much water that I couldn't breathe on my back (laughs) water is probably more indispensable for me than for other people and I try to soak myself in the bath every day Fukagawa that fans are attracted to lies in her everyday You are currently starring in the drama series "Nihon Boro Yado Kiko" ("Japan Boro Yado Travels") Mamuang-chan (a character drawn by illustrator Wisut Ponnimit) has a store in Thailand Are there any other places you would like to go alone deep riverI've been told that it is better to challenge yourself from a safe place and I have heard that people from various ethnic backgrounds are friendly even if they are not fluent in English I would also like to visit India alone in the future although it is a hurdle for me at the moment It is said that some people's view of life changes when they visit India deep riverI would like to visit there at least once in my life I had the opportunity to visit France on business before and the way the people living there use their time is completely different from the Japanese they sit on the Seine and talk with their friends and loved ones I was moved by the difference in sensibilities from the Japanese and by the world full of things I didn't know What are you doing on your days off these days I often wandered around the streets of Osaka I have a technician who knows some good restaurants so I would ask him about them and go out to eat I see that you also go to the movies by yourself deep riverI like to make small things that I can do without thinking I am also thinking of learning a new Japanese dance this year but I have always said that I want to do period dramas so I hope that the gestures and the way I look when wearing a kimono will eventually come in handy for my work I would also like to try a different kind of dance than the one I did during my time in Nogizaka It is true that period dramas seem to suit you Have you wanted to be an actress since you were in Nogizaka deep riverI found the process of making music videos and individual music videos and the stage work I fell in love with video work because of the group's music videos and you had many opportunities to work with visual images deep riverIt is easy to reach the eyes of everyone who supports me and I thought it would be a job that I could continue no matter how old I get There is also the fun of expressing something that is unique to you at that time so I thought I would like to actively continue working as an actress deep riverSome of them were in variety shows I had the opportunity to experience many different things and the Second Time Hatsukoi (Pan Bus)," and now you are starring in "Boro Yado (Rags to Riches)," as well as appearing in the morning TV series "Manpuku," and there is another movie coming out in the spring It seems that things have been going very well since your graduation from Nogizaka46 deep riverIt's good that things seem to be going so well Fans are happy when they see active activities deep riverSuch voices are my encouragement In "Pan Bus" you played an indifferent role but in this "Rags to Riches" you have quite a lot of emotional ups and downs and in "Manpuku" you speak with a Kansai dialect and your wide range of acting really shines through I think you have a watery charm that allows you to be anything you want to be Pan Bus" is a film that seems to be a slice of everyday life and director Imaizumi directed it in such a way as to "hold back a bit" and "be strong here there are five directors for "Rags to Riches" in the 12 episodes Each director had a different directional style but they were able to bring out various aspects of the story It was the first time for me to play a role that had such ups and downs the yelling scene in the first episode was shocking and a new aspect for fans which of your characters are you closer to in "Panbus," "Rags to Riches," or "Manpuku" who is well known as the "Holy Mother," doesn't usually yell at people That's why I had a hard time with the final scene in the first episode of "Rags to Riches" It was probably the most time-consuming scene in all 12 episodes I'm sure many of you will make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land deep riverSome of the inns are going out of business next year.. do you have a message for your fans and the readers of HOUYHNHNM's my activities will be conveyed to my fans and many other people and that I will be able to influence them in some small way This eastern Tokyo area combines history and some of the capital's best walking routes with oodles of appeal for everyone the vast shitamachi neighborhood of Koto Ward’s Fukagawa all enveloped in an unpretentious atmosphere The Fukagawa Edo Museum is a good place to familiarize yourself with the area’s extensive history there’s still plenty here to get a firsthand feel of life in the Edo Era (1603–1867) including a life-size reconstruction of part of the old neighborhood which features a day to night light cycle for extra ambience it will reopen with new and improved exhibits at the end of July 2022 The museum is located along Fukagawa Shiryokan-dori Shopping Street home to many old traditional mom-and-pop stores selling goods such as kimono you’ll find the street lined with wacky-looking scarecrows dressed up for the annual kakashi contest Other shopping districts worth checking out are the pedestrian-only Ninjo Fukagawa Goriyaku-dori which leads up to Fukagawa Fudo-do which has a more overtly Edo Era aesthetic the black and white cat character created by legendary manga artist Suiho Tagawa who spent the early years of his life in the neighborhood The street is also vehicle-free on Sundays With a lot of ground to cover it’s a good idea to consume a hearty lunch to keep you going Take a leaf out of an old Fukagawa fisherman’s book and opt for the local delicacy a hearty clam and rice dish known as Fukagawa-meshi at a branch of Fukagawajuku The area’s growth in popularity over the years has fueled plenty of new hangouts in which to enjoy craft beers many establishments have chosen to renovate rather than rebuild their properties which helps retain the neighborhood’s shitamachi vibe Exemplifying this approach are places such as the small second-floor gallery Ondo Stay & Exhibition and comfy coffee house Fukadaso Café with its irregular seating and antique-laden interior adding extra authenticity Even established chains have followed suit Popular Oakland-based roasters Blue Bottle Coffee has made good use of a spacious old factory for its flagship store that houses a roastery kitchen and even the company’s offices Alternatively, head over to Kiyosumi Gardens and be inspired by even more impressive scenery. Opened in 1880, the strolling-style garden is well worthy of its official designation as a Prefectural Place of Scenic Beauty.

with guitarist Nobukata Kawai and vocalist Tetsuya FukagawaBy Ben Sailer Few bands with roots in hardcore are fortunate enough to release more than a handful of records before calling it a day Even fewer overcome the kinds of lineup shifts that Envy experienced shortly after touring on their 2015 album when vocalist Tetsuya Fukagawa departed in early 2016 post-everything screamo band’s nearly-three-decade career was coming to an end it looked that way to the remaining members and it almost seems like a miracle that Envy are not only still together but able to take time to discuss their new record The Fallen Crimson (out now via Temporary Residence) With Fukagawa rejoining in 2018—and new members yOshi (guitar) and Hiroki Watanabe (drums) replacing founding guitarist Masahiro Tobita and drummer Dairoku Seti—the album marks a triumphant return for one of heavy music’s most innovative and forward-thinking acts New Noise caught up with Fukagawa and guitarist Nobukata Kawai via email to talk about how a night at the bar brought the band back from the brink of implosion how they approached writing The Fallen Crimson with their revamped lineup Despite this being your first full-length album in five years it sounds as though you’ve gone through considerable changes since the release of Atheist’s Cornea Can you elaborate on the personal and creative challenges your band collectively faced in that time which led to some members choosing to move on would you prefer to keep those stories private Nobukata Kawai (guitar): When Tetsu [Fukagawa I was thinking whether to continue Envy or not But I already had a music festival called After Hours and Envy can’t play.” Taka responded “Never quit; there is no future of Japan without Envy.” I decided to continue Envy with the remaining four We invited guest vocals to our shows to have them sing Tetsu’s part and at the same time continued writing music my voice totally didn’t match Envy’s music and I encountered the vocoder effects pedal When I was about to get the feeling of how to sort out a new style of Envy with this vocoder pedal two members decided to leave the band for multiple reasons and I guess the loss of interest in the music was one of the reasons it was me and the bass player Naka [Manabu Nakagawa] left and it was the first time for me to call him out since we formed the band “It might be the time to end the whole thing,” and he replied “Leave if you wish; I will keep Envy continuing.” If I didn’t hear those words and I suffered not to be able to play music Each member had their own reason for leaving the band and I shouldn’t talk about other people’s reasons I have a stronger trust and relationship with Tetsu How did you come to add new members Yoshimitsu Taki I decided everything by my instinct and gave a phone call to each of the new members the main news was about members leaving the band so I didn’t want to make mistakes in selecting the new members so it was an easy decision for us and him to join the band I didn’t have a close relationship with him and I remember they were surprised about being asked to join Envy and I instantly decided this was going to be the new lineup The new three members and the three original members have a ten-year age gap but our feelings toward music are at the same level yOshi is a man who has a wide view and a clear vision toward everything His participation has brought a lot of smoothness in production and communication he is in charge of the backing guitar but is an essential I asked Taki to join the band because he is an amazing guitar player he has a perfect ear pitch and can play multiple instruments: drums He was definitely playing the main role of editing and mixing the album Rocky is a guy who is always honest and fully pitching towards music all the time and he dedicates all his time to get prepared This is the first album Envy have released with your new lineup and how did it feel to be in the studio together It sounds immediately familiar as an Envy album which is impressive given that much change among members Kawai: The song-composing process hasn’t changed for 25 years I come up with the ideas and give it a simple shape or tell the members the image of the song by playing the riff at the studio it will be incomplete when it is submitted to the members I believe it’s easier for the members to speak up if the song is incomplete Envy is not a band just to make songs I like Most of the riffs are made to be impressive so it doesn’t take too much time to complete The role and responsibility among the new lineup is very explicit so the song process is literally three times faster than before I let each member decide what riffs to play after I convey the scene I see especially when the image is totally different from what I expect There are various riffs that exceeded my imagination and I even changed my riffs or song structure to align with those riffs The three new members give me a lot of ideas while I am struggling to come up with an idea and they have contributed a lot to [writing] this album within a tight schedule Taki composed “Marginalized Thread,” “Eternal Memories and Reincarnation,” and “Memories and the Limit.” yOshi can also compose songs so we are thinking of writing new songs from his riffs as well I am willing to be challenged more than ever to keep up Envy so people won’t call us a legacy band was there a particular sound or direction you were consciously attempting to achieve A lot of people say that this album has a lot of variations it makes me feel like they are telling me there is no other band in the world who has such a big swing and needs to calm down The word “genre” does not mean anything to us hardcore—as long as it is good and has passion All we wanted to do is to write a damn beautiful album There’s a triumphant and almost upbeat feel throughout much of this album Is this indicative of a desire to push past difficulties and produce something that reflected having overcome adversity Kawai: I’m glad to hear that you felt that way Each song has a different emotion toward it but “Dawn and Gaze,” which is the first song we wrote with the new line-up and “HIKARI,” which has a riff that was created during the previous line-up Can you tell me the inspiration behind the title The Fallen Crimson Tetsu Fukagawa (vocals): The title The Fallen Crimson was decided when all lyrics were written and vocals were finished recording It actually came from a lyric which I wrote previously and a translator I really trust translated it from Japanese to English which I really liked and decided to use it as the title The theme of the title is about living and eventually returning to nature Were there any particular lyrical themes that emerged while writing this record Fukagawa: The theme as a whole was about death (including life and living) when I was writing the lyrics and all of it comes from my internal world and feelings Few hardcore bands last for nearly 30 years What keeps you interested in creating music with Envy Kawai: It’s a difficult question to answer to make difference among songs and discover new expression I try not to listen to other people’s music those musical inspirations begin to disturb me while I write songs I intentionally avoided listening to other music Most of the inspiration comes from our daily life which turns into a motivation to change these emotions into songs no one will pick us up when we are compared to other bands around the world I can confidently say that The Fallen Crimson is our music How much touring for this record should fans around the world expect Kawai: Scheduling arrangements are really difficult but we are starting to organize domestic and overseas tours but there are lot of points that we need to cover that are not easy at all law is a huge barrier for a Japanese band that can’t tour very long Is there anything else about the record you’d like listeners to know Kawai: I am confident to tell everyone that this album kicks ass I will be delighted if you can listen to it The Fallen Crimson is out now via Temporary Residence and available on Envy’s

this one is through the Fukagawa neighborhood on the left bank of the Sumida River Although the neighborhood’s roots go back to the early 17th century the ravages of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and the 1945 American fire bombing have left few old structures there are a number of interesting spots to visit on this walk of about 4.5 kilometers Note that even though you’ll be outdoors most of the time the shrines and temples ask all visitors to wear masks and practice other good hygiene measures The official pilgrimage should be completed between Jan 1 and Jan 7 there are a couple of options to commemorate your visits a square of white cardboard that you can have inscribed at each stop (100 each) The other is a plastic bamboo branch (1,000 yen) to which you can attach ceramic bells representing each of the seven lucky gods These are available at all of the sites between 9 a.m The walk is between Monzennaka-cho subway station and Morishita subway station It doesn’t matter which end you start from; this article starts from Monzen Nakacho Follow the map at the bottom of the article just a couple of minutes from Monzennaka-cho station Exit 1 is your first stop it is regarded as the home of sumo wrestling and is also famous for its summer water festival and is likely to be the most crowded destination on this course the waterfront was very near here (landfill has changed things) making it logical that Ebisu is found here He resides in the middle of three small shrines just west of the main Tomioka Shrine A small booth nearby offers inscriptions and ceramic bells in the shape of Ebisu Departing from the west torii of the shrine Not far along you’ll find two granite pillars once the anchors of a bridge across the Aburabori river The second stop on the pilgrimage is Fuyuki Bentendo a small temple founded in 1705 and associated with Benten The small temple itself is a postwar reconstruction wealth and longevity” (just about everything you’d want for 2021) The temple has been at this location since 1633 another 17th century Buddhist temple and home to a splendid statue of Enma the fearsome red god of hell who judges good and evil Shortly after crossing the Sendaibori River you’ll see a curious bronze marker in the shape of a stack of Japanese books with old-style binding This marks the birthplace of Takizawa Bakin (1767-1848) well-known and prolific author of historical novels The temple was founded in 1730 and contains a number of wooden and stone statues of Daikoku standing atop rice barrels This section of Fukagawa is what is known as a tera-machi or temple district; it feels like every third building is a temple take a shortcut through the grounds of Joshinji a Nichiren Buddhist temple already busy preparing for the 800th anniversary of Nichiren’s birth in 2022 One interesting feature of these temple grounds is the multi-layered stone pagoda a battered relic held together by baling wire It’s nearly a kilometer to the Fukugawa Inari Shrine to visit the sixth god consider stopping at the Fukagawa Edo Museum with its excellent reproduction of 18th century Edo city streets The museum is open 9:30-17:00;

1-1Second Half 0-1Total 1-2[Scorer]Yuha TSUMURAYA[First Half]In the beginning we were pushed by the opponent's momentum and couldn't keep up with their speed resulting in a continuous struggle to take the ball.Conceded a goal from the opponent's corner kick in the first minute It was a goal conceded by being caught off guard at the start.Afterwards we gradually regained our composure and were able to hold onto the ball without fear of the opponent's pressure!In the 13th minute Yuha TSUMURAYA broke through the opponent's defense by connecting passes from the center and right side from the DF line and then made a direct shot into the goal from the overlap of the left side back We caught up to a tie in the first half.After that the FW continued to gather the ball and chances increased in front of the goal but they were unable to finish and the first half ended.【Second Half】Both teams tried to control the ball from the start of the first half and the battle in the midfield continued.As the game progresses the team gradually becomes able to take the ball but then struggles to connect passes and cannot dominate the game.During the middle of the game we will have more possession of the ball and try to connect it from the DF line to the goal area.I have been unable to move forward as I wanted without being able to release the pressure.Gradually the opponent began to push us back and our defense held strong we gave away a foul and from the resulting free kick the opponent used the side and crossed the ball into the middle resulting in a goal.It became a goal during the most important time period right after the start and towards the end of the game that we had to be careful about.For the players we will do our best to prepare for the top stage with the mindset of "everything for the win"!Thank you for your continued support By Yuka Kumakura / Japan News Staff Writer Wine made from grapes harvested this year is beginning to hit the shelves and there are two places I have in mind to celebrate young wine produced in the heart of Tokyo They are the vineyard on a supermarket rooftop located about 3 kilometers from Tokyo Station and Fukagawa Winery Tokyo in a nearby residential area in Koto Ward opened this urban winery in 2016 in the traditional commercial and working-class neighborhood hoping to get people to enjoy wine more casually The winery began growing wine grapes two years later on the supermarket rooftop aiming to allow people to see how grapes grow while drinking wine at their rooftop bar picturesque vineyards of the Katsunuma district of Koshu which is one of Japan’s leading wine production areas this rooftop vineyard is in an area busy with traffic and shoppers day and night about 100 grape plants yielded about 10 kilograms of grapes to be used as yeast for the wine made at the winery this year Given their first harvest was 2 kilograms in 2020 and the fact that about 1 kilogram of grapes make a 750-milliliter bottle of wine this year’s yield is a big step toward making wine from locally grown grapes in the heart of Tokyo some day in the future my husband and I walked to the winery near our house to taste the young wine that has just been released The about 60-square-meter winery produces nearly 20,000 bottles per year In the small tasting room next to the winery 15 labels of dry wine were on offer for tasting 20 milliliters for ¥200 and 50 milliliters for ¥300 “Tokyo is a place where people gather from various places We’re making wine that is like this big city by using grapes harvested in various parts of Japan and yeast from locally grown grapes,” vintner Kosuke Ueno said The newly produced white and orange wines made of Delaware grapes harvested in Yamagata Prefecture ―with the yeast from the grapes produced on the supermarket rooftop ― were quite refreshing “We produce dry wine that pairs particularly well with Japanese cuisine such as fish-based dishes and soy sauce-based food like yakitori grilled chicken and sukiyaki,” Ueno said The winery allows visitors to see its production area on Sunday afternoons after making a reservation via Instagram or Messenger or by phone We joined a couple living near the winery and a woman who came all the way from Nagano Prefecture to see it Ueno explained the process of winemaking by holding up laminated photos and showing some of the equipment The winery sometimes recruits volunteers through social media to get people involved in winemaking harvesting and preparing grapes and even sinking bottled wine into Tokyo Bay as a joint project to experiment with underwater wine aging with the local Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology Such opportunities help winemaking – but also sometimes unexpectedly turn into matchmaking “Two volunteers who participated in our winemaking got married and they gave their families and friends our wine as a gift at their wedding,” Ueno said This winery seems to be bringing joy and happiness to people in various ways For more information about the winery, visit their website at https://www.fukagawine.tokyo/en  Our weekly ePaper presents the most noteworthy recent topics in an exciting,

Print I love morning foods of all kinds and I worked through college scrambling eggs and cranking out waffles at a bed-and-breakfast in Boston I rarely wake up wanting more than a few spoonfuls of yogurt or a handful of peanuts a small Japanese-French restaurant in Little Tokyo that opened a few months ago Chef-owner Akira Hirose serves bento boxes and soba for lunch — and also veers into duck confit and boeuf Bourguignon — but his asa gohan (breakfast) menu centers around a traditional combination of dishes sits in the center of a black lacquered tray surrounded by modest portions of miso soup tofu topped with bonito and tsukemono (salt pickles It’s everything I want in a workday breakfast: fortifying Azay is one of the few Los Angeles restaurants I know of that serves a traditional Japanese breakfast set — a variation on ichiju sansai rice and several side dishes — but the meal has been slowly making more appearances across the city Hotel breakfasts in Japan can become elaborate feasts; the teishoku (set meal) breakfasts available in restaurants in L.A tend to be more attuned to median appetites presenting five to seven savory dishes direct in their seasoning and appeal Their broadening presence is another expression of our profound and ever-evolving Japanese dining culture Fukagawa, hidden down a walkway in the center of Gardena’s rambling Pacific Square Shopping Center, has long been one of the region’s only reliable sources for Japanese breakfast sets. The restaurant has four combinations featuring eggs (dashimaki tamago grilled fish (salmon or mackerel) or steak Combo D brings you some of everything; it’s my standard order The portions are more generous than at Azay; the restaurant serves breakfast into early afternoon I’m more likely to eat this spread for lunch Akira Akuto and Nick Montgomery hijacked Instagram late in 2008 with their tributes to Japanese convenience-store sandwiches at Konbi in Echo Park The cooking reaches well past photogenic egg salad sandos: exquisite austere vegetable dishes; chocolate croissants served hot; deeply caramelized canelés; and a custardy date tart from pastry chef Jen Yee Last year Akuto and Montgomery added gorgeously composed Japanese-style breakfasts: One meal in July included broiled black cod perfumed with yuzu broccolini with sesame and almond dressing Konbi has 10 seats and Akuto and Montgomery recently decided that the full breakfasts were too taxing on their tiny kitchen to execute consistently They’re working on some rice-based dishes riffing on their sets I’m still hoping they might consider bringing back the traditional breakfast as a special now and then Echo Park hasn’t quite lost its Japanese-style breakfasts yet In November chefs Todd Chang and Johnny Lee began collaborating on Gatsu Gatsu Their first two menus came with either salmon shioyaki (in which the fish is salt-cured and grilled) or gindara nitsuke (black cod simmered in shoyu) along with the classics: rice Their approach to produce can lean slightly more intricate: agebitashi eggplant sweet potato and bell pepper (flash-fried and then marinated in dashi) turnips and their greens in miso-citrus sauce teishoku just made sense as a response to the everyday hustle experienced by your average Angeleno,” Chang said via email Chang and Lee are considering either Jan. 19 or Jan. 26 for their next installment. Check their Instagram for updates I can walk to their pop-up space from my apartment; I’ll likely see you there The great late chef John Santi once told me that the presentation and look of the food accounted for half the taste Aesthetics and the idea of “we feast first with our eyes” has never been more important to a larger swath of people But if this is about whether I feel that spectacular visuals account for how I register flavors Appearance can affect my mood: sedating or rousing or depressing or intriguing I can’t wait to put that in my mouth.” But the taste buds don’t lie An architecturally riveting plate of food can have the texture of Styrofoam and taste like nothing A murky brown stew layered with vegetables and meats and spice often delivers way more satisfaction than edible sculptures You can put the stew in a beautiful ceramic bowl to add an element of beauty — and that’s fine — but I care much more about how the stew tastes than how it looks A formless brown stew doesn’t taste half as delicious to me And of course it’s wonderful if something tastes as spectacular as it looks. I’d say 97% of the things on my Instagram account fall in this category — in other words I don’t post pretty pics of food that doesn’t also taste great to me There have been concerns that traditional foods of many heritages might disappear in a culture that puts so much value on the phone pics they snap; I honestly don’t believe that’s happening yet on levels high enough to cause serious concern (at least I’ll start loading up my Insta feed with foods that strike me as important and deeply satisfying Email us. — Patricia Escárcega goes brilliantly deep on the subject of moles this week.
