Ginger syrup in Ginza improves metabolism!

[Map★] 18:00 on July 16, 2009

"Ginza's Ginger" by this word,
Ginger syrup sold in Ginza Matsuya (laughs)
Ginger syrup of configure provence.

When I drank something from a small paper cup that I received, it was a mango.

I don't like mango very much, but it's mellow and delicious.
And ginger does work well.
"There are many people who put ginger in tea these days, but there is a lot of effort to make ginger ..."
It was like that, so when I talked about drinking ginger tea every day for another year and a half.
I thought I liked ginger a lot, so I tried various things one after another (^ ^;

★Balsamic vinegar ... I'm drinking apple vinegar now, so maybe I'll replace it.
★Strawberry: It was broken by carbonic acid. It's easy to drink, but strawberries are bad.
★Plain...like a cold candy. It's delicious and can be put in tea.

When it gets hot, hot ginger tea before bath is also hard,
A cold mango ginger juice may be good.

By the way, after tasting 4 cups, I happened to go to try a slimming esthetic,
The amount of sweating was reduced by 500g (laughs)

I bought a mango that day. I tried a lot, but it is delicious to break it with milk.

And at a later date, I went to the main store in Ginza to buy souvenirs for returning home.
This day is a souvenir and a dry ginger for yourself and a seasonal peach ginger.

Dry ginger was perfect for tea!
Ginger is quite tight, and it will be addicted. If you drink before bathing, you will sweat abnormally★
By using this, the frozen ginger became unsatisfactory.

Peach is not so tight with ginger, and this is also delicious if you break it with milk!
And I found that it went better with milk tea than mango.
 
By the way, confiture is a French jam,
There are also Duckworths and Macaron sandwiched between configures,
Now I'm in Duckworth, so I bought two types!

Although the dough is crispy, it is not hard, and the meringue flavor is strong!
The flavor of eggs is good, and the jam matches perfectly.
I thought that fig jam would suit my coffee unexpectedly,
After all, chocolate and orange standard is recommended!

If you talk about correspondent blog, you will be happy to have permission to shoot inside the store,
Up to 2 types of Duckworths I haven't bought! Thank you very much (*^^*)
Let's go to the cafe next time!

A little bit of Kuyasubashi Park

[Kaishu] 18:00 on July 16, 2009

Not enough to enter a coffee shop, but if you want to take a break, here Kuyasu
A space like a bridge park is perfect.
 
Because it faces Yaesu Street, which has a lot of traffic, the noise is high.
People, pigeons and fountains are all taking a break.
 
While there are many non-smoking areas, an ashtray is also installed beside the bench.
 Not only smokers, but also women can smoke without hesitation.
 
The pigeon is a plaza filled with granite-like pavement tiles,
Relax.

The fountain that makes a pleasant sound of water drops the amount of water and takes a break.

 Silence in the hustle and bustle.
Kibanacosmos receives a full day of midsummer, and cheerfully yellow flowers
It blooms in full bloom.

Kinjiro right now?

[Meny Books Osa] 17:00 on July 15, 2009

If you were walking along the back road of Kyobashi/Meijiya (between Chuo-dori and Sotobori-dori St.) on Saturday during this time

"Kinjiro Ninomiya (?) The statue is a food shop (?) It was displayed in the storefront. On the table of "Yaesu Book Center", a golden "Kinjiro Ninomiya statue" is displayed, but it is not in front of an ordinary shop. 。 。

Is there anything else to look for? 。 Was it in Tsukiji Elementary School in front of Tsukiji Honganji? ?

It's not a statue of Kinjiro now, but I remember that it was in the elementary school where I used to go. 。 。 If you look for it in Chuo-ku, you may be left in various places.

Tsukishima Kusa City July 12, 13 and 14

[Yurikamome] July 15, 2009 09:30

I went to Tsukishima Kusa City, full of downtown atmosphere.

Stalls line up in the shopping street of Nishinaka-dori. In the past, it seems that they sold Obon products such as Houroku, Ogara, Hozuki, etc., but now they are shooting popcorn drawing rice cracker chocolate banana yakitori flash surfer

Takoyaki yakisoba hanger light shaved ice beer wine etc...

Hozuki was a florist, big ... I found it beautiful.

In the past, there used to be goldfish scooping, but now the children are scooping plastic things that change.

 

I was doing Bon Odori in a corner of the site of the Eye Mark Tower.

Elementary school students worked hard on the stage to hit the Gojin drum and it was a small circle, but it seemed fun. 

The girl's costume was also cool like a festival.

Bon Odori on Tsukuda Island July 13, 14 and 15

[Yurikamome] July 15, 2009 09:30

Tsukuda Buddhist prayer dance Muenbutsu. JPG

  Before dancing the Nenbutsu dance, the leader instructed him to pray to unrelated Buddhas.     

 

Around the beginning of July, when I went to buy Tsukudani, I asked, "The Bon Odori on Tsukuda Island is 13, 14, 15 ..." and I replied, "It's Buddhist prayer dance ...".

Children's dance from 6:00 to 8:00 in the evening.

It seems that adults dance from 8:00 to 9:30.

When Nishi Honganji Temple (Tsukiji Honganji) disappeared in the Great Fire of the Meiryaku era, fishermen in Tsukuda, who were disciples, reclaimed the land of Tsukiji and performed Bon Odori in 1680 when main hall was rebuilt (1680)

This is the beginning of Bon Odori.

First of all, we pray to the unrelated Buddha before each dance. In the past, fired bodies flowed to the beach on Tsukuda Island from the upstream in the Great Fire of the Meiryaku era, and fishermen (Tsukuda townspeople) buried it as unrelated Buddhas. I start dancing after giving thanks for protecting Tsukuda Island.

In the adult dance from 8 o'clock, a brilliant veteran sang with a microphone on his left hand, a bee on his right hand, and a taiko drum, and Buddhist prayer dance was progressing.

I realized that Bon Odori on Tsukuda Island was designated as an intangible folk cultural property of Tokyo.

Surprisingly, anyone could participate in this dance, and one in the circle invited me to say, "If you follow me later, you can dance ...."

A salaryman on the way home from work was dancing in a suit in a circle.

It was a fun night in downtown, blowing by the night breeze.
