RIMG2233S.JPGKawazu cherry blossoms on the Sumida River Terrace in the northeastern part of Chuo-ohashi Bridge. If you look closely, you can see that several branches are beginning to bloom.

It is said that the flowering time of Kawazu cherry blossoms depends on the weather of the year, but in Kawazu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture, buds begin to bloom in late January every year, bloom in early February, and the flowering time is said to be almost one month. I have.

It is said to be a hybrid of cold scarlet cherry blossoms and early blooming Oshima cherry blossoms. The color is dark red when the buds are buds, but after flowering, it becomes light red.

I feel the arrival of spring a little earlier.

bean-throwing ceremony in Setsubun

[North Yujin] February 4, 2011 08:30

February third, today is Setsubun.

I heard bean-throwing ceremony in Setsubun, and when it gets dark at night, "Fuku is inside, demon is outside", but I haven't heard it recently.

The weather is nice, so I went to Suitengu.

It was said that it started at 2:00 pm, and everyone was gathering in front of the special stage.

This is the whole view of the venue.

 February third, today is Setsubun. By the way, what does Setsubun mean? I thought

If I look at the dictionary, it's a part of the season. Looking at the calendar, February 4 is Ritsuharu.

According to what I heard, Kawazu cherry blossoms are blooming on the riverbank west of Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

 Good men and women, old men scatter beans very well.

"Fuku is inside," everyone came home with a smile.

◎Correspondent Visit to Shopping Street (14th)◎

Entrance to Ginza Minami / Ginza Nine Stores Association

 

 I am glad that I can become a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and know the stores I did not know before, and I can introduce them to everyone. .

"Ginza Nine Stores Association" is a shopping street that faces Ginza 8-chome Gomon Street as the gateway to Ginza Minami and consists of tenants of Ginza Nine SC.

It is located in the middle of a delta consisting of Shimbashi, a popular commercial area, Ginza, which dominates the brand, and a huge complex city, Shiodome.

When it opened, it was called "Shimbashi Center".

It opened 50 years ago on November 3, 1961.

A highway was built in the place where it was a river, and it seems that it began with landowners and new tenants operating on the riverside by land readjustment.

Its length is under the highway, extending from Sotobori-dori St. to Showa-dori.

It is divided into Building No. 1, Building No. 2, and Building No. 3, and walking inside will delight your eyes.

Mr. Aritodo is a calligraphy shop.

[Silver] February 3, 2011 09:00

 From Yamamoto-noriten, pass the next Niigata Nihonbashi NICO Plaza and enter "Muromachi Koji" on the right.

Right away, the shop where you buy Christmas cards every year is Yutodo.

 As I passed by today, my feet stopped on the colored paper of Hina doll.

CIMG7450.jpg

 

And when you go inside, that's right! A wonderful colored paper wall hanging and paintbrusheye!

CIMG7452.jpg

 When I looked around the store in various ways, I noticed a bottle with wonderful colored powder.

I asked her husband that they originally sold Japanese painting art materials and paints.

And until the end of February this year, Japanese painting has been selling rock paint at a discount of 2% to spread it.

CIMG7458.jpg

 Aritodo's kanji could not be read unless the Roman characters were read.

By the way, the Christmas card I bought was left wrapped in a wrapping paper with a plum pattern.

Eitaro Sohonho, "Pesen Long-established Tour" Asakusa edition

[Satsuki Yanagi] February 2, 2011 17:36

I introduced it on this blog last year.

"Eitarou Sohonho"'s "Pesen Long-established Tour" (this blog: Nihonbashi Long-established collaboration)

pisen2.jpg

 

I told you that there are two types of "Nihonbashi" and "Asakusa".

However, on the day, there was no "Asakusa edition" at the store.

Finally, "Eitaro Sohonho" appeared in the storefront of Nihonbashi Main Store. pisen3.jpgpisen4.jpg  

"Asakusa Edition"

Mr. Yagen Digging: Chimi pepper pepper

"Oimoyasan Koshin," Mr. University potato peisen

"Eitarou Sohonpo" Mr. Pisen

¥893 (tax included) in 3 bags each of 3 types

pisen6.jpg

Just like "Nihonbashi", I enjoyed the flavors of each long-established store!

 

On this day, I purchased other seasonal items.

(I'm sorry, I wanted to eat quickly, so I forgot to take a picture before I got it at home ...)

pisen8.jpg pisen9.jpg

pisen10.jpg

 

 

It is "Kinkan Honey Manju", "Kusamochi", "Goma Daifuku".

"Kinkan Honey Manju" was a refreshing aftertaste (Joyo) bun with a refreshing aftertaste, with kankan-flavored honey overflowing from the kankan-flavored white bean paste.

"Kusamochi" But "Goma Daifuku" was also a taste that did not disappoint expectations!

 

And the book is also published.

pisen13.jpg

 From the explanation at the store ...

"tidbits Story of Edokko Confectionery"

Eitaro was founded in Ansei 4 (1857).

"Cultural history of sweets" talks about the history of 150 years from trading to life itself.

The background of the times from the end of the Tokugawa period to the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras, the way of life of merchants, the annual events of merchants, and the desire for the revival of the landscape of Nihonbashi are drawn lively. That's right.

Speaking of Nihonbashi, this year marks the 100th anniversary of the bridge.

It seems that events will be held around Nihonbashi, and it will be a year when you can't keep an eye on it!
