曾さんの餃子/東京宝塚に酔って : Sousan No Gyouza

Yesterday was the first day off in a while that I didn't watch a movie, although I went to the barber. Perhaps that's why my desire for movies has reached its peak, and the only thing that can satisfy it is the "Ozu of the World," which is featured in the Tamagotchi movie theater in Jimbocho! <2024.1 .14> There's something strange about the town of Jimbocho (Is it correct to say "Jimbocho town"? I don't feel like I have a headache?) that I crawled out of the subway exit near Sabouru. After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that it was because there were so many people.The same can be said about Okachimachi every week, but what on earth is going on with so many people flocking to Jimbocho? That (lol). Well, if it's Ueno, there's a zoo and a science museum, so it's still understandable, but if you don't usually pick up a book and just wander around this area just looking for emotion, I don't think it would just ruin the atmosphere of the area. I want you to stop. No, even if I were to read a book, I would be in a town with such a high threshold that people like Keigo Higashino would be told not to come... ―― Well, if I had said that, now I would have said, ``Dera Beppin''. I only subscribe to a few famous books, such as ``SM Sniper.'' ♪ First, I entered the theater to get a ticket with a serial number, which I had no choice but to go to the counter, and the number for ``Ozu of the World'' was number 26. The fact that I had a little more time on my hands than usual speaks volumes about the immortality of Ozu's films. (I think I would have turned off number 15 normally.) Then I returned to the Jimbocho intersection and accelerated down Hakusan Dori towards Suidobashi Station in order to head to the restaurant I had been eyeing at Tabegro beforehand. From there, I veered into an alley, found a quiet shop, and looked inside. Although it was a popular and thriving shop, it didn't seem like it would be a problem for a guy to sneak in alone, so I decided to enter. I decided on ``Mr. Zeng's Gyoza / Dumpling.'' The person who invited me to a corner of the large island in the middle was a southern Mongoloid girl with a wonderful smile. There was a mother with a small boy across from me, and I was curious to see if she looked beautiful behind the mask, but all I could do was wait for the food to arrive for her. Well, my theory is that there is no place other than "Gyoza / Dumpling no Ousho" to have better Gyoza / Dumpling than the one at a restaurant with "Gyoza / Dumpling" in its name, but this one is one of those kinds of restaurants. It can be seen that it is different from the previous one, so I did not lose my expectations at the moment and went for the “Mapo Tofu Set Meal” @1,090ya. While saying that, I thought about what would happen if Gyoza / Dumpling were not good (hey!), and since the mapo tofu lunch came with Gyoza / Dumpling, I ordered it for Watari and Tetsuya! After ordering, I went to another table. I realized that the mapo tofu dish I was heading towards didn't look very appetizing, and I hope my selective eye isn't crazy (I hope the dish I saw wasn't mapo tofu) However, as expected, something with the same visuals descended upon me! First, I started making Gyoza / Dumpling, which had a shape similar to Xiaolongbao, according to the suggested way of eating them, but they were similar to white-haired green onions. The fact that it is served with chopped ginger seems to be similar to the way Xiaolongbao is eaten. In conclusion, I think that the generally delicious Gyoza / Dumpling and the spicy mapo tofu, although the grade of minced meat is not good enough for me, are different from the consulting style continental Chinese food, as is the atmosphere of the restaurant. . The rice was ok, and the mapo tofu alone would be sufficient as a side dish, so I was disappointed in my initial idea that Gyoza / Dumpling should be enjoyed on its own. As a result, I ended up using Gyoza / Dumpling as a side dish, but I was satisfied that it was enough to digest the white rice.Afterwards, in 1956, I watched a movie called ``Early Spring'' directed by Yasujiro Ozu. This work depicts commuting by train to Omiya starting from Kamata, interactions with coworkers at Tokyo Station, Marunouchi Building, and an affair (lol), but wait a minute! -- Could that train be my Keihin Tohoku Line? Why isn't he all blue? That's fine, but young Ryo Ikebe, Chikage Awashima, and Keiko Kishi! And Ozu's style of filling every corner of his co-workers with beautiful men and women, including the tea ceremony, is also present in this work. It's strange because even the style seems to be clearly the same as the Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, who also fills the screen with beautiful men and women. It is amazing to see that the beautiful actresses of the Showa era are never inferior to the tall and beautiful actresses on the silver screen, and it is not only this work that has contributed greatly to this. Without a doubt, it would be called "Takarazuka" -- not just dignifiedness, but also softness and stamina, even if the core is strong. These days, I want to believe that there are definitely actresses who meet these requirements in Takarazuka today (is that even called an actress?).
