PREVIEW #2 – Chikuyo-tei
Next time, I will broadcast a Shinise restaurant, Chikuyo-tei（竹葉亭）.
Since its architecture and garden is very beautiful, you may have an illusion that you are in Kyoto. Wait and see.
#1 Bentenyama Miyako Sushi
Bentenyama Miyako Sushi is an old Sushi restaurant established about 150 years ago.
You can have traditional Sushi there. Because the chief cook put traditional special soy sauce on Sushi, it is even not necessary to put it for myself. You have no need to do anything except having delicious Sushi. It is a kind of Japanese hospitality, OMOTENASHI.
SUSHI COUNTERS
Because of chef cooks being able to provide us most fresh Sushi and we see, select and order what we want to eat easily, almost Sushi restaurants have counters. I will recommend taking a seat at counters in Sushi restaurants.
NOREN
This beautiful clothe is a kind of a traditional signboard called Noren(暖簾) in Japan.
When stores or restaurants open, Noren is hunged out before entrance.
If you want to enter a store, please pull Noren off on your hand.
welcome to SHINISE website !
In this site, I will produce a Shinise program and broadcast it every month. In addition I will also present interesting information about Japanese food culture at any time.
Ancestral shops or restaurants are called SHINISE（老舗）in Japan. I would like to tell you traditional culture in Japan. Because Shinise restaurants contain many cultural elements, such as construction, fine arts, and landscape gardening, you can find Japanese traditional culture easily by going there. Besides Shinise restaurants in Tokyo are not very formal and so expensive.
Crowd funding
Thanks to many supports of a crowd funding ReadyFor, I was able to take a step nearer to my dream starting a Shinise project. My goal is to tell charm of Shinie into the world. For that I will present you interesting information about Shinise in this site and Shinise channel on you tube from now.
Food sample
There are display windows in Japanese Restaurants and in which many food samples are displayed instead of menu. If you can not speak Japanese, you can select food easily. This is also Japanese hospitality. By the way only the tail of prawns is made with genuine article in this shinise restaurant.
