へえ~

ハヤシライスの生みの親って丸善の初代社長『早矢仕有的』なんだ。

丸の内オアゾ4階、丸善の中にM&C Cafeがあります。

そこで買い物の途中ハヤシライスを頼んでみました。

まあ、普通の美味しいハヤシライスって感じかな。


Hayashi rice is a very popular "western food" in Japan.

What the Japanese call "western food" or "youshoku" is nothing

you can get in the west but a Japanese variation of western dishes

and or ingredients.

Hayashi rice is a stew containing beef, onions, and mushrooms,

in a thick demi-glace sauce with red wine and tomato sauce.

It is usually served over a place of steamed white rice.

Apparently the first president of Maruzen Corporation, Hayashi Yuuteki,

named this dish and during shopping the other day,

I had this dish at the M&C Cafe located on the 4th floor

of the Maruzen book store in the Marunouchi Oazo building.

It's a pretty good hearty dish.

千代田区散歩: 国会議事堂

ビルの高さは違うけど、形がすごくロスの市役所ビルに似てるんだよな~

ほぼ同じ時期に建てられたそうだけど。

後ろにゴジラが立っていたらなおすごいんだけど、、、


Walking around Chiyodaku: Japan Parliament Building

Although the hight is not as tall as the Los Angeles City Hall building,

the style and shape sure do have a lot of similarities.

I understand both buildings were build around the same era.

Now, wouldn't it be great to see the giant silhouette of Godzilla in the back!
