Chapter 291: Dongjin Ginza

Zhang Zhonghua also came to Dongjin Ginza for the first time, but I learned from the video materials that Dongjin Ginza at that time was indeed very prosperous and very powerful.

Of course, the current Ginza is indeed extraordinarily prosperous, very powerful, and is the number one in the world.

Higashitsu Ginza, a major business district in Tokyo's Chuo Ward, is known as the "most expensive place in Asia", symbolizing Japan's prosperity and being known for its high-end shopping stores. It's a shopper's paradise with brand-name goods from all over the world, huge shopping malls lining the streets, and fashionable, statement clothing everywhere.

There are restaurants from Italy, France, and Arabia in the vicinity of the street, and people can taste delicious food from all over the world.

Ginza is divided into Ginza 1-chome (street) to Ginza 8-chome, and Ginza 4-chome and Ginza 5-chome are separated by Harumi Street, and all 8-chome is connected by Chuo-dori. At the beginning of the 17th century, the first store was opened here, and then a thriving commercial district was formed between Shimbashi and Kyobashi, which became one of the representative districts of Tokyo and one of the largest and most prosperous commercial districts in Japan.

Ginza, one of the three major attractions that symbolize Japan's nature, history, and modernity (Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Ginza), is one of the world's three most prosperous centers, along with the Champs-Élysées in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York.

The sidewalks on both sides of Ginza are wide, and on weekends they are closed to traffic, turning it into a crowded pedestrian shopping street.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the vicinity of Totsu Ginza was not land, but an ocean. 400 years ago, Tokugawa Ieyasu reclaimed land from the sea, and it evolved over the centuries until the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred on September 1, 1923, and Ginza was rebuilt. In 1966, the former Edo Castle Waibori to the west of Ginza, the Shiodome River to the south, and the Kyobashi River to the north were filled in to build the Tokyo Expressway Viaduct. A shopping street was built on the lower floor of the expressway, and since the administrative division was not determined, it was popularly known as Ginza 9-chome.

"Let's go, let's see Ginza in the 60s."

Zhang Zhonghua is also very interested in what is the difference between the current Dongjin Ginza and the Dongjin Ginza a few decades later.

As soon as they left the hotel gate, they saw that there were restaurants with special cuisines from all over the world gathered near the street, and people could taste delicious food from all over the world on this street.

"The night view here is so beautiful, so beautiful."

Xin Xiaoling exclaimed as she looked at the colorful neon lights on the street.

The night scene in Ginza is very interesting, and before four or five o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as the sky is dark, the colorful neon lights on both sides of the Ginza streets are lit up one after another, and the whole Ginza is like a sea of colorful neon lights.

Zhang Zhonghua and Xin Xiaoling walked along the street admiring the shops on both sides, many of the exquisite displays in the shop windows are quite Dongying, and of course, there are also specialty stores and luxury stores from all over the world.

There are also small shops with various souvenirs, snack bars, various restaurants, fine restaurants, izakayas, and more.

The world's well-known luxury brand stores such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, etc., are all available, and it is also a huge super flagship store, which is worthy of being the most expensive place in the world.

The area around the intersection is arguably the busiest and liveliest area in the entire Ginza district, and the contrast between the modern buildings and the old shops of the last century is a strong contrast between the two.

Across the intersection is the Mitsukoshi Department Store, a well-known department store in the Toei business community, which was the first "Echigoya kimono shop" in the Edo period to implement clear pricing of goods, thus changing the prevailing bargaining style at the time, and was praised by the people of Toei as "the pioneer of large department stores".

Compared with the products of the "Mitsukoshi Company", the old store of Wako is famous for its high-end and expensive clothing, and the clothing it handles is not only well-dressed and exquisitely made, but also has different styles, none of which is the same, and has become a representative of status and fame.

Ginza Street is lined with large department stores, souvenir shops, restaurants, and countless bars and dance halls, where specially trained geisha attract customers.

"Boss, there are too many bars here, and those geisha are too scary, like female ghosts."

Xin Xiaoling whispered to Zhang Zhonghua, for fear that others would hear it, she had heard of the geisha of the country Dongying Chicken before, and the classmates of the Dongying Chicken always said how good the geisha was, and the local students on Hong Kong Island who had come to the Dongying Chicken always looked strange at this time!

Now she finally understands why this is happening.

Zhang Zhonghua looked at the geisha not far away and his face was also strange, this is a man's paradise, everything here is extremely professional, but those buildings on Hong Kong Island are comparable.

"Boss, there's a sushi seller over there, how about we go over there and try it."

Xin Xiaoling suddenly pointed to a tavern in the distance and said.

"Okay, let's go inside."

The two walked into a pub with a lot of customers, all kinds of seafood, and the price was outrageous, compared to their CFC restaurant, it seemed to be cheap and not cheap.

Zhang Zhonghua ordered sushi, tempura and sashimi, which were really expensive, and he believed that ordering something would be close to a hundred dollars.

Sushi platter Sushi platter is a special dish of Dongying country, the main raw materials are rice, shrimp, kelp, crab sticks, mango, etc., this delicacy is exquisite, fragrant and delicious, nutritious, suitable for the public taste, can provide the nutrients needed by the human body.

Tempura is somewhat similar to the fried crispy vegetables in the north of the country, but today's tempura is made of sea bream, whitebait, prawns, cauliflower, cherry blossom leaves, fresh bamboo shoots, and onions, and it is very beautiful;

Sashimi refers to something like sashimi, which refers to a fish dish in which fresh fish and shellfish are cut into slices and dipped in seasonings and eaten directly.

Sashimi was also a common fish dish in ancient China. China has a record of eating fish as early as the Zhou Dynasty, and the earliest can be traced back to the inscription of the bronze "Xijia Pan" unearthed in the fifth year of King Xuan of Zhou. General Yin Jifu had a private banquet for Zhang Zhong and other friends, and the main dish was roasted soft-shelled turtle and raw carp fillet.

Later, the fish in the hot summer spread to the Dongying country and was carried forward by the Dongying chicken. At the earliest, after it was transmitted to the Toying Kingdom, the Toying chicken ate all kinds of fish, but it was not easy to identify the type of fish fillet after peeling, so it was often taken some fish skins and then pierced on the fish fillet with a bamboo skewer to facilitate everyone's identification, so it was called "sashimi", and although this method was not used later, the name "sashimi" was retained.

Today's sashimi platter includes tuna, cod, red scallops, salmon, green seaweed, red seaweed, cucumber, etc., and the preparation is also exceptionally exquisite.

I have to say that the Dongying chickens are still doing a good job in plating.

The two of them ate happily with wasabi and Japanese soy sauce, and some people had eaten sashimi at the buffet, and the place where sashimi was eaten was not comparable to the messy things in the buffet.

"Boss, when our CFC restaurant expands to Dongying Kingdom, we will also launch this kind of burger, which will definitely be a hot business."

Xin Xiaoling suggested to Zhang Zhonghua after eating.

"Definitely, adapt measures to local conditions and follow local customs."

The most expensive place in the world in Higashijin Ginza is really not blowing, the consumption here is really terrifying, if the CFC restaurant opens a store here, a hamburger set is not too much for five dollars, and it is very cheap.
