A little celebrity "locally grown and consumed" in Ginza

Do you know "Ginza Honey"?

 

"Which shop do you want to eat sweets today?" I was playing with a personal computer as usual, but I found something interesting in the beautiful menu of Ginza Shiseido Parlour!

 

"French toast to taste with honey picked in Ginzashine"

 

Honey in Ginza? Isn't honey something that can be done in a place like the "Nantoka Bee Farm"? ? ? If you are interested, check it immediately!

 

Everything is an organization launched by an NPO called the "Ginza Bee Project", and it seems that honeybees are actually bred on the roof of the paper pulp hall in Ginza.                               Click here for the hp of the Ginza Bee Project http://www.gin-pachi.jp/0/topics/1.

Over the past few years, the movement of greening has been rapidly increasing in Ginza, in the middle of the city. I immediately visited the rooftop of Ginza Mitsukoshi, which appeared on hp.


 

"Ginza Terrace" on the 9th floor does not have a so-called "rooftop amusement park" like our childhood, but it is a very pleasant space full of greenery. It was full of moms with children and men in suits around.

In addition, various herbs were planted in the garden area, and lavender was blooming. I was invited by this good scent, and bees were flying.

I see. Even in the middle of Ginza, such a steady effort has been fruitful ... and after "study", the expectation for French toast is at its peak! To Shiseido Parlour while holding down the feeling of doing it.


 

This is "French toast to taste with honey picked in Ginza" (1,480 yen) The presence of honey attached to the baked toast! It shines golden.

Needless to say, in an elegant and celebrity interior cafe, I literally tasted "like the dish"!

 

Even if we live in a city, we humans have to get along with nature even more. Thank you for the bee!
