LEARN 2019.02.15

「あれ?こんなお店あったっけ?」馴染みのエリアから少し足を伸ばせば、そこには私の知らないTOKYOがたくさん。そんなまだ見ぬTOKYOとの出会いを求めて、お散歩へ出かけました。

“Oh...I never knew there was a place like this!”
If I go a little farther from my favorite areas, there is so much more TOKYO that I haven’t yet found. So, I go out in search of new discoveries.

情緒あふれる東京の下町・清澄白河へ。清澄通りを歩いていたら、なにやら胸騒ぎが...。ひらりとマントを翻すスーパーマンかとおもいきや、マスクにチャンピオンベルト?

I went to Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, a traditional Japanese town. When I walked down Kiyosumi Street, I got a curious feeling. There is a masked man wearing a cape flowing in the wind and a championship belt.

ふと顔をあげると、反対側の通りにはジバニャン。そしてその奥で微笑むちょんまげのおじさまを発見。間違いない。スーパーマンに警備を依頼したのはこの人だ!

On the other side of the street, I found Jibanyan, a character from Yo-kai Watch. Behind it there is a middle-aged guy with a samurai top-knot. He is definitely the one who has asked the superman to protect the town.

お店の中へ入ると、わぁ〜お菓子がたくさん!所狭しと並ぶのは、昔懐かしい駄菓子たち。ほとんどは私が子供の頃と変わらないラインナップだ。

In the shop, there are a lot of nostalgic snacks over flowing on the shelf. Most of them are the same as when I had them growing up.

あ、このお菓子。よく食べてたなぁ、懐かしい。大きいんだけど口当たりが軽くてサクサクいけちゃうんだよね。

I grew up eating this snack. It's really big but also light and airy, so it's hard to stop eating.

駄菓子以外にも、おもちゃ、お土産、佃煮まで!?ありとあらゆる雑貨や食品を販売。カラフルでポップな昭和のおもちゃ、見ているだけでワクワクしちゃう。

There are also toys, souvenirs, Japanese food, and so on. Each and every item is for sale. The colorful Showa era toys make me really excited!

お店の壁にはお客さんの写真がびっしり。どの写真もみんないい表情!夕方になると近所の子供たちが集まってくるそう。今も昔も愛され続けているって素敵。

On the wall, I saw a lot of pictures of customers. Everyone looks happy in every photo. After school, kids flocked to the shop. From long ago and even now, the shop has been loved by the local people.
