 　The Hamarikyu Garden has been renewed in spring, and canola flower has begun to bloom and yellow carpets are spreading.

　The plum blossoms are in full bloom and the introduction of ubiquitous, etc. ...

　The garden is crowded with customers every day.　　

　　　　It is colored with plum blossoms and canola flower on the back of the Shiodome buildings.

　　　　From the 46th floor of the Dentsu Building, you can see the colors of the Hamarikyu Garden.

　　A few birds came and sucked canola flower's nectar and flew off.

　　It has the name of a plum called "Full Moon Weeping".

　　Hamarikyu has three types of weeping plums, and there are also "Shirataki Weeping" and "Fuji Peony Weeping".

　　In addition, there are nearly 20 kinds of plums.

　　If you escape from the hustle and bustle and look at the large sky in the garden, you can immerse yourself in a relaxed feeling.

This is an introduction of Ginza's new spot, Meza marche.

At the product hall produced by Mezamashi TV, which was built in Ginza 4-chome
This building is a collection of products from 47 prefectures, consisting of 1st to 13th floors.

I waited a little to get on the elevator (^^;
It's a good person at two p.m. on weekdays.

The 11th floor and above are alcohol and restaurants, so today I went to two floors.

★The 10th floor is the Okinawa/Kyushu area.

The most popular is Miyazaki meat-rolled rice balls, and the second is curry sprinkle.
I wanted to eat, but I was embarrassed by myself, so I gave up (>_<)
The grapefruit-flavored gummi called Hakata Diet was also delicious.
It seems that there is Hakata's specialty kyuto.

　

Urashima Nori from Kumamoto is a company sprinkler. Curry in Kumamoto? (^^;
That area is a mystery, but it was delicious ◎ (laughs)

★The 6th floor is the Kansai and Tokai areas

I bought an aunt's mandarin candy from Osaka.
It seems to be a specialty of Kishiwada, but Kishiwada is close to Wakayama and I think so.
It was delicious, and this was 105 yen (*^^*)

Awaji Island is an onion, but it is an onion soup from Awaji.
Since it is granules, you can easily eat delicious onion soup (*^^*)

Oh, there's a full moon pong like this!
Everybody in Osaka knows, everyone loves full moon pong!
You can buy it at convenience stores in Kansai, but it's not easy to sell it in Tokyo.
I've seen it at a candy-yoko confectionery wholesaler.
But from now on, I can buy a full moon pong in Ginza~ (* ^^*)

Next time, I would like to go to the Hokkaido / Tohoku area and the Kanto / Shizuoka area!

At the entrance on the first floor, there is a huge 3m Mezamashi-kun!
There was also a panel of casters and announcers.

Target marche's website

Earlier, we picked up the bridge that remained as the name of the intersection, but this time we would like to introduce the former bridge name written on the bus stop and parking lot name.

By the way, now How many bridges are there in Chuo-ku? According to the Chuo-ku website (homepage), 75 bridges are listed. However, this includes highways, overpasses, and attachments, so it is not necessarily a bridge that spans rivers.

Bridges play an important role in connecting towns and towns, as well as a landmark of traffic. There is a place where the name of the bridge that is gone now remains in some way. Walking around Tokyo, you can see old town names and place names used at bus stops. It has been popular with the residents for a long time, and it can be seen that there was a life in the town. This is essential to convey history. When you explore the origin, you can see the depth of history even more.

Recently, the name of katakana is noticeable in the name of the building and public facilities. There are several such cases in the ward. In the future of urban development, coexistence with "history" as well as "environment" and "nature" must be a keyword. When giving a name, it is important to consider that it will be passed down to the later date.

So, where is the location of the photo?　You can see history when you compare it with old maps.

Where's the cold until last week, it's been warm and cheerful for the last few days.

When I thought that the buds of the cherry blossoms were about to begin to bloom, I found a quick cherry tree that had already begun to bloom.

The location is at the foot of the northwestern side of Chuo-ohashi Bridge (Sumida River Terrace).

If you want to enjoy cherry-blossom viewing in advance, please do so.

Speaking of cherry blossoms, the Sumida River. The promenade will be dyed in cherry blossoms soon. I'm looking forward to it.

This time, I would like to introduce the Chinese noodle ladder (Ginza 8-10-7 Higashinari Building 1F).

This specialty, "Dandan Noodle", is a taste that is made with a soup that matches sesame flavor and chili, and a smooth texture noodles are often intertwined.

By the way, I like "Darou Dandanmen" with char shoe.

I'm always very satisfied with the free half rice (compatible with yellow pickles). 

The other day, I visited Chuo FM's special program "Tsukiji Mandala" ...

Special number "Tsukiji Mandala" BY84.0 Mhz RadioCity

In fact, for the special program, a few days before the actual performance, a meeting was held, staff members, personality Akiko Inoue, and guest performers said, "Let's walk Tsukiji first!" I strolled around the Tsukiji Outer Market and shopped.

At that time, I would like to introduce the "Tokyo Marathon Use Ume" (dried plum dried) discovered.

This is Kimchi and pickles "Nakagawa Foods".

From the official website of Tsukiji Outer Market:

http://www.tsukiji.or.jp/modules/shoplist/shop_detail.php?shop_id=277

When I visit the shop ... Everything seems to be an order from Tokyo to provide runners at the "Tokyo Marathon"

Do you mean "Tokyo purveyors"?

I tasted it, but it was sweet and seasoned (of course, the seeds are removed!) It was sweet and sour and delicious! I believe that children and foreigners can enjoy it deliciously. It is good for the body, and it is very recommended as a tea bowl.

　Of course, I purchased it.

Finally, this weekend, the "Tokyo Marathon" will support runners so that they can enjoy this "Tokyo Marathon Ume" and finish without hesitation.
