チズルママの日記

2023年07月13日
職場が東京西部のため、仕事で都心に出ると夕方必ずチズルさんの顔が浮かぶ。コロナ禍で暫く閑散としていた渋谷も、今や外国人も含めすっかり元通り、いや、それ以上の賑わいかもしれない。
今では渡り慣れていたはずのスクランブル交差点も日本人でさえ右往左往する始末だ。
渋谷のんべい横丁。その名の通り約40店舗がひしめき合う様に軒を並べる。本物ののんべい達が心から愛する聖地感。
渋谷を訪れる観光の外国人は必ず、スクランブル交差点とのんべい横丁を訪れ、大都会の醍醐味と古き良き横丁居酒屋文化を体験していくようだ。
私は、いわゆる常連の友人に連れられて訪問してまだ十数年の新参者。
今でも洗礼のように強烈だった初回訪問を忘れられない。いや、決して悪い意味ではない。チズルさんと常連さん達との会話の洪水と、またそれを受け止める別の常連さん達に圧倒され続けてそれ以降、お邪魔する度にその場を和ませるオヤジギャグ担当として友人と私は席を空けて頂いた。いや、言い過ぎた。ずいぶんスベッていたと思う。
先日、数人の常連さんと意見がまとまった。
1.えのきは礼儀をわきまえないと入れてもらえない。
2.えのきは毎回いろんな意味で凄い偶然が起きる。
3.えのきは何故か常連来訪者が皆、出世する。
4.えのきは叱られたい大人が集まる。
5.チズルさんはきっと余裕で100歳を迎える。（そうだ、きっとそうだ笑）
そのお祝いをするべき側の方が多分お先に失礼するであろうから先に伝えておきたい。
いつも真剣に向き合ってくれ、叱ってくれるチズルさん。
知らず知らず背中を押されて元気にしてくれるチズルさん。
（関西弁風に）「あんたはエライッ！」・・・「ありがとう」

"Enoki and me"
I work in western Tokyo, so I rarely go to Shibuya.
When I occasionally go to the city centre on business, Chizuru-san's face always comes to mind in the evening.
Shibuya, which was deserted for a while due to Covid-19, is now completely back to normal, including foreign tourists.
In fact, it is probably even busier than it was before the pandemic.
Even Japanese people are turning left and right at the scramble crossing.
Shibuya Nobei Yokocho.
As the name suggests, about 40 izakaya restaurants are lined up in a row.
This place, which is loved by real alchol lovers with all their hearts, seems to be a sacred place.
Foreign tourists visiting Shibuya always seem to go to Scramble Crossing and Nonbei Yokocho to experience the real thrill of the big city and the good old izakaya culture of Yokocho.
I am a newcomer, having only been visiting for more than a decade, having been taken there by a so-called regular friend.
I still can't forget my first visit which was intense.
Not in a bad way by any means.
The momentum of the conversation between Chizuru-san and the regulars was incredible.
And I was overwhelmed by another group of regulars who took in the conversation.
From that day onwards, every time we visited, my friend and I were given a seat to be in charge of the old man style gags that made the place more relaxed.
(I suppose we overestimated ourselves)
We have made the regulars fake smile at us a lot.
The other day, I reached a consensus with a few of the regulars.
1. Enoki won't let you in unless you are polite.
2.Enoki is a great coincidence in many ways.
3.All regular customers get promoted.
4.Enoki attracts adults who want to be scolded by Chizuru-san.
5.Chisuru-san will surely reach 100 years of age in plenty of time. (Yes, I'm sure she will. Lol)
I would like to tell you first, because the person who should be celebrating that will probably excuse me first.
Chizuru-san always takes each and every one of us seriously and scolds us.
Chizuru-san, who unknowingly pushes my back and cheers me up.
(In Kansai dialect) "You're great!" Thank you!
