TV Tokyo's popular information variety show "Appearance! Ad Town Heaven" (Saturday 9pm). The December 14th broadcast will feature the area around Kamimachi Station (Setagaya Ward, Tokyo) on the Tokyu Setagaya Line. The guests will be actor Eri Watanabe and talent Chiaki.
The Boro Market, a seasonal winter event, begins around Kamimachi Station on December 15th. It originated as a "rakuichi" market in 1578, when free peddling was permitted, and since the Edo period it has been bustling as a "New Year's Market." Since the Meiji period, it has come to be known as the Boro Market, as it has become a place for selling used clothing and rags.
The program covers the town just before the Boroichi. It introduces the Boroichi-exclusive gourmet foods Daikanmochi (rice cakes) and Yaeyama soba. In addition, it features a bar's giant sushi gunkan and Kyoto-style omelet rice, a long-established Western restaurant's original signature dish "Bourbon Rice," and the exquisite meat buns and manju from the town's most popular restaurant.
In addition, guest Watanabe-san's Vietnamese-style coriander miso noodles will be introduced. Anju & Nico Dorayaki wrapped in gauze and Kyoto-style takoyaki with cheese will also be on display.
