[SUB] 도쿄 도심 속 시간여행⏳ | 에도시대 감성을 간직한 몬젠나카초 | 후카가와 후도당, 도미오카하치만궁, 돈카츠 마루시치

Hey everyone! Today I’m at Monzen-Nakacho Station. This area still retains the charm of the Edo period and is a popular weekend spot for locals. This area still retains the charm of the Edo period and is a popular weekend spot for locals. I’m here to check out the beautiful scenery with the cherry blossoms. Let’s go! When you exit Monzen-Nakacho Station from Exit 1,
you’ll see a gate that says “Naritasan.” This street is called Ninjo Fukagawa Koryaku-dori, and if you keep walking,
you’ll reach Fukagawa Fudo-do Temple. I’m going to enjoy the street view while heading to the temple. So glad the weather cleared up! There are so many sights here that give off an Edo-period vibe. There are cozy cafes and traditional Japanese confectionery shops, making it such a fun street to explore.😊 Monzenmachi refers to a town that developed around shrines and temples. Right near the station, you’ll find both Fukagawa Fudo-do Temple and Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine. With these spiritual sites so close by,
the name of the area fits perfectly. Monzen-Nakacho is actually right next to Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, and you’ll notice the area is filled with canals and rivers. Back in the Edo period, the waterways were so well-developed that some even referred to it as the “Venice of Italy” in Japan. Back in the Edo period, the waterways were so well-developed that some even referred to it as the “Venice of Italy” in Japan. And here we have already arrived at Fukagawa Fudo-do! This temple is actually a branch of the famous Naritasan Temple in Chiba Prefecture. Fukagawa Fudo-do was built so people could receive the same spiritual benefits as visiting Naritasan in Chiba, without having to leave Tokyo. It’s especially famous for its Goma ritual, a sacred fire ceremony held daily. The large Sanskrit character boldly displayed here is striking. To put it simply, it means something like
“Please grant my wish!” Seeing the wall completely filled with these sacred characters really makes you feel like your wishes could come true. I should make a wish too, while I’m here! And right next door literally is Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine. I’m heading over to Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine now…
Can’t believe it’s this close! Since it’s right next door, let’s take a look around this shrine too. 📍Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine One unfortunate thing today is that a major part of the shrine is under construction. It’s actually a much larger shrine, but I could only explore about half of it, which is a bit disappointing. There were two things I was looking for but couldn’t find, so I asked someone and they pointed me in this direction. I probably wouldn’t have walked this way if I hadn’t asked… looks like they’re over here! Found it! You can see a sumo wrestler drawn on it. Remember when I mentioned during the chanko nabe episode that Ryogoku is like the holy ground for sumo wrestlers? Back in the day, there was a time when sumo was actually banned. But in 1684, during the Edo period, They finally got official permission for matches to be held and this shrine was the very place where one of those early sumo tournaments took place! It really shows how important it is to do a bit of research before visiting a place. I had no idea this all happened right here if I hadn’t looked it up,
I would’ve totally missed it. And just outside Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine,
there’s a bridge called Hachiman-bashi. Hachiman-bashi was built in the 1920s and is Japan’s oldest remaining iron bridge. In 1977, it was designated as an Important Cultural Property and is also one of Japan’s top 100 historic bridges. When you walk down below, there’s a peaceful riverside path, and you can still see an old bridge nearby that’s no longer in use. Since Monzen-Nakacho is surrounded by waterways, the area has a lot of bridges and I love how they’ve preserved them so well. Since Monzen-Nakacho is surrounded by waterways, the area has a lot of bridges and I love how they’ve preserved them so well. That nostalgic, peaceful atmosphere is probably why this neighborhood is often used in dramas and movies. And guys, When you see this town, as you walk around here,
you’ll notice signs for something called Fukagawa-meshi. There are even food stalls and shops inside Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine. This whole area including Monzen-Nakacho, Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, and Morishita used to be known collectively as Fukagawa. And Fukagawa-meshi is a traditional local dish that’s been loved here for generations. Remember when I filmed the Kiyosumi-Shirakawa episode? I had it just like this back then too! It’s kind of like a rice bowl with a savory soup made from clams poured over it. Since I’ve already had Fukagawa-meshi plenty of times, today I’m going to check out a different spot instead! Just a 3-minute walk from Fukagawa Fudo-do is Tonkatsu Marushichi! 📍Tonkatsu Maru Ichi It’s an open kitchen, so you can actually see the tonkatsu being fried and prepared in real time which made me even more curious about the taste. Thank you. Here it is.
The food’s out, and just look at that incredible presentation! (This is the regular size, 1,500 yen.)
It’s not your typical katsudon, so I’m even more excited to try it. Let’s see if the taste lives up to the visuals… mmm~ The light-colored sauce is drizzled on just right,
giving it perfect seasoning. The pork loin is 150g and just the right thickness and portion. I loved how tender it was! Because the cut is thick, it’s not the kind that melts in your mouth. Instead, you get a satisfying bite and a rich, meaty flavor. There’s also a bit of fat toward the end, which adds a nice sweetness as a finishing touch. And the batter is surprisingly light, so it doesn’t feel greasy at all. (Adding sauce) This is gari, thinly sliced ginger pickled in vinegar. It really helps you enjoy the tonkatsu all the way through without getting overwhelmed. Since tonkatsu can be a heavy dish, . pairing it with ginger helps cut through the richness and leaves a clean finish(Tonkatsu + gari = perfect combo.) It also seemed like they added just a little sauce at first so you could adjust the flavor to your liking. So if you feel like it needs more midway through, you can add as much as you want. Totally customizable. So if you feel like it needs more midway through, you can add as much as you want. Totally customizable. Even the miso soup was extra flavorful because it was packed with freshwater clams. When you’re eating such thick cuts of pork, it can get a little repetitive, but the clams in the miso soup and the pickled ginger balance things out with a clean, refreshing touch. Let me try the egg, too! It’s not seasoned, so it has this really soft and gentle flavor. Since there are various sauces and seasonings on the table, it feels like you can customize everything to your own taste. This spot is actually pretty popular with Western tourists,
so I saw a lot of Japanese and Western customers dining here. But I was kind of curious since pickled ginger (gari) isn’t something most Westerners usually eat,
I wonder how they feel about it here? But I was kind of curious since pickled ginger (gari) isn’t something most Westerners usually eat,
I wonder how they feel about it here? To all the Western mint crew out there, what do you think?
Personally, I loved it! I finished everything except for a bit of rice.
The portion was pretty big. But the tonkatsu? No way I’m leaving any of that behind. Let’s go in for that last satisfying bite! From the presentation alone, this place makes a big impact.
It’s the kind of dish you’ll definitely want to show off in photos. From the presentation alone, this place makes a big impact.
It’s the kind of dish you’ll definitely want to show off in photos. If I showed someone pictures from today and said, “I visited a temple and a shrine, but the best part was this amazing katsudon nearby,” I think they’d totally get it. The taste and visuals were both on point. Thanks for the meal! At Fukagawa Fudo-do, there’s a special event called ennichi held on the 1st, 15th, and 28th of every month. They set up food stalls, and it gets pretty lively with lots of people. I definitely want to come back on one of those festival days next time! Now I’m at a bridge called Kurofunebashi,
known for its beautiful cherry blossom views. Let me show you! There were posters all around the neighborhood, it turns out the Oedo Fukagawa Sakura Festival is happening right now. While Nakameguro is a famous cherry blossom spot in Tokyo, this area is actually way less crowded, so it’s a great place to enjoy the blossoms in peace. One of the highlights of this festival is that you can ride a boat and view the cherry blossoms from underneath! There’s even a boatman,
so you can just sit back and enjoy the ride. This year’s cherry blossom season in Japan was tricky… They started blooming all of a sudden,
but then there was rain in the forecast right after. I was worried they wouldn’t last, but thankfully, they held on really well! The Kawazu-zakura I saw a while ago were a much deeper pink, but the Somei-yoshino here are closer to white,
still they’re absolutely beautiful. Of course, I won’t touch them,
but I’ll admire them up close as much as I can! 📍irie When you think of anmitsu, there’s usually a classic image that comes to mind but I had no idea there were this many variations on the menu! When you think of anmitsu, there’s usually a classic image that comes to mind but I had no idea there were this many variations on the menu! Since I love shiratama (those chewy white mochi balls),
I went with the Shiratama Cream Anmitsu. Anmitsu is a traditional Japanese dessert that’s been around for ages, and agar jelly is the key ingredient. I heard it’s not very common in Korea, is that true? Anmitsu is a Japanese-style dessert made with kanten jelly (derived from seaweed), and it’s usually topped with fruit,
red bean paste, mochi, and sometimes dango. It’s finished off with a pour of rich brown sugar syrup. At first glance, it looks a bit like shaved ice,
but the star of the show is definitely the kanten. I poured the brown sugar syrup over my anmitsu,
which came served on the side. Since I had a pretty heavy lunch today, a cool, light dessert like this was exactly what I needed! In summer, anmitsu is perfect as a refreshing treat, and in winter, you can enjoy something warmer like zenzai (sweet red bean soup). That way, you get to enjoy traditional sweets all year round! Looking around, I saw people of all ages here, which made me think this place must be a beloved neighborhood favorite.😊 One thing that really impressed me, that brown sugar syrup has a strong, distinct flavor, and not everyone likes it. But here, they actually let you choose between brown sugar and white sugar syrup! and not everyone likes it. But here, they actually let you choose between brown sugar and white sugar syrup! It’s great to be able to pick what suits your taste.☺ Paired with a warm cup of tea,
this dessert was absolutely perfect. To wrap up today’s experience I loved how I could enjoy so much in a relatively compact area. When I film for YouTube, I usually end up walking around 20,000 steps in a day, but today, I only walked about 8,000 steps so I’d say this is the perfect spot for a light, easy outing! Even though it’s a small neighborhood,
the stories behind each place are so rich and meaningful. Those kinds of things were fun. Tokyo really is huge there are still so many areas I’ve never explored! 📍Tatsumi Shindo I originally came during the day, but I was curious about how the streets looked at night, so I decided to come back for a second round. Tatsumi Shindo is a retro-style alley that preserves its original Showa-era buildings. Along this 50-meter stretch, there are more than 30 small izakayas and eateries. It has that nostalgic charm, definitely a place you’ll want to experience at least once.😊 Since Monzen-Nakacho is full of temples and shrines, it’s perfect to explore during the day. But now I’ve seen that the nighttime vibe is completely different, so you could easily spend the whole day enjoying everything this area has to offer. So, how was Monzen-Nakacho today? Personally, it’s a place I had really wanted to visit, and I’m so glad I finally got to explore it in person. It’s a neighborhood full of history and fascinating stories you really feel like you’re learning while walking through it. Rather than a touristy spot, it’s a cozy area where you can feel the daily life and atmosphere of the people who live here. If that sounds interesting to you, why not come visit sometime? That’s it for today’s video❤️ I’ll see you in the next one!❤️
