築地でお茶をしようと思い６丁目の交番付近を入った細い道を歩いていたら、突如不思議なマンションを発見？！
As walking through narrow street somewhere around Tsukiji 6-chome, all the sudden, very strange looking appartment appeared!
どこかで見たことがあるような・・・、ひょっとして築地本願寺のパクリ？
と、思ったら築地本願寺の半筒型屋根がマンションの後ろから顔を出していただけでした。
びっくりしたので１枚パチリ。
Although it looked very familiar, pretty much of partial mock-up of Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple. The mystery was easily solved. The appartment itself was built on the other side of the temple and the arch type roof of the temple just happened to show up. Took a snap shot since it was quite an encounter.
そして目的地の「築地茶房」に向かったのですが、なんと創業４５年目にして閉店に！なんでぇえ？嘘であって欲しい。
Headed to "Tsukiji Sabo", a local cafe, but eventually, had to find and admit a sad news on the door. The cafe closed down! This cafe has been serving locals since 1972 and god help us why now?
ここの珈琲ゼリーは絶品だったのに。料金も２００円と値頃感抜群で、更に土曜日は半額の１００円でお得だったのに！！
One of the best choices of this cafe was "coffee jelly with vanila ice cream on top" which only costed JPY200 and its high quality valued for money. On Saturdays, this masterpiece used to be discounted 50% and was served for JPY100. Assume that this tragedy shocked all the local sweet tooth.
週末の細やかな楽しみを失われ少し落胆しましたが、気を取り直して大通りに出て築地本願寺を正面に拝み次の目的地に向かいました。 でも未だに夢であって欲しいと思っています。
Who cannot be upset when one has lost one's weekend pleasure. Just unbelievable. Perhaps nothing sweet can last forever, poor me and my coffee jelly・・・
Walked to front side of Tsukiji Hogwanji Temple and took a good look to cheer oneself up and headed to the next destination.
