West is a Western confectionery shop located at 6-chome on Nishi Ginza Street.
It's also in Mitsukoshi in Ginza.

The main store of the tea room is Ginza, but it seems to have been made in the new building in Mitsukoshi.
I told the head office today.

In addition to the cake sample, "There are Mont Blanc, shortcakes and cream puffs."
That's why I went to Mont Blanc and Half & Half Shoo.

 

　

Mont Blanc is marron paste on top of the roll cake.
It feels like a traditional Mont Blanc, and it's a little smaller.
It may have been nice to have this size because it is quite sweet.♪
It was Mont Blanc with a nostalgic taste.

The cream puff is also delicious, but it's sweet (laughs).
This is half with my husband ... For those who are not good at sweets, about half may be good!

 

 

In a store with an atmosphere that feels like a time slipped back a little ago.
It feels like time is flowing slowly.

 

　

 

I bought leaf pie and cheese baton a long time ago, but the pie dough sweets are also delicious. 

By the way, there is also a factory-operated store in Isawacho, Yamanashi.★

　"Hatsune" in Ningyocho is a sweet shop founded in Tenpo 8 (1837).　

Speaking of the Tenpo era, I have learned about the history of social studies, such as famine, reform of Tempo, etc., but since it was founded more than 170 years ago, it is hot today, so I came here to get cold things here I came. 

 

On the first floor, in addition to soup powder, Isobe roll, fruit anmitsu, matcha ice cream, Kokura cream, honey beans, kuzuri, etc., shaved ice in summer. I remembered that Ginzo also came on a date, such as returning from TCAT. Cheer

 

The second floor starts at 17:00, and you can enjoy okonomiyaki, monja, teppanyaki, etc.

　According to the landlady, the name Hatsune was named from a Kabuki performance, or in the Edo period, sugar was expensive and could not be used for sweetness, and sweet potatoes focused on the sweetness of sweet potatoes. He made and sold sweet potatoes. It seems that "Hatsune" began to sell soup flour after the Meiji era when sugar became popular.

　I thought that this shop has been going on for a long time because it is particular about red beans, the raw material, hospitality to customers, and integrity.　

The business card I received is Hatsune, since 1837 Japanese Traditional Sweets, whose address is 1-15-6 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, access is 100m from Ningyocho Station A2 Exit on the Hibiya Line toward Suitengu Shrine, about 30m from Suitengu Station on the Subway Hanzomon Line. It's very near from TCAT and Royal Park Hotel . Enjoy Japanese Traditional Sweets at Hatsune. Phone: 03-3666-3082

 

 

Please enjoy the traditional sweetness of the downtown area.　Don't miss it !　

 

 

 

On July 20, Typhoon No. 6, which caused record heavy rainfall in various places at the same speed as a bicycle, is approaching the Kanto region.

I tilted my umbrella and headed to the meeting place while trying to see if it could be held.

 

We have been helping with the “Town Walking Tour” industrial course sponsored by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

This course is a tour of the Tsukiji Outer Market.

Tsukiji Market is the world's largest wholesale market in Tsukiji, Chuo-ku.

In the on-site market, stores based on the premise of selling wholesale, middle wholesale, and related businesses are gathered.

In the out-of-office market located in the outskirts, there are many shops for the general public and tourists.

 

Now, let's bounce back the typhoon rain clouds with the enthusiasm of the participants.

 

In this course, "Tsukiji original" of kitchen knives and knives. "Tsukipo Matsuro" of high-grade egg-yaki.

"Kibun Food Sohonten" of kneaded products. I visited Suita Shoten, a kelp and dried food.

It is a popular long-established store.

 

A craftsman who uses several types of whetstones to give sharpness to the knife.

The heat of the in-store workshop where a large amount of egg-yaki is baked by hand.

The manager who explained the diversity and potential of kneaded products with tastings.

A young husband who talked about the unexpected ecology of kelp and their commitment to quality.

 

I think about food that I eat every day.

Reliable skills to keep seeking good things and trained eye strength.

The credibility that we have built up in food was reflected in the wonderful expression of the store people.

 

After Great East Japan Earthquake, we were able to overcome the period when the flow of people declined sharply, mainly from foreign customers.

"The customer has come back again," said the owner.

Through the business in Tsukiji, you can clearly see the trends in the Japanese economy.

Everyone who took the time to explain while I was busy, thank you.

We were able to make delicious shopping.

 

Tsukiji feels a little difficult for the general public to go from the impression of a "professional workplace".

Because it is an area where professionals gather, you can meet polished topics.

 

The repair of the facilities that hurt during the earthquake has progressed, and the tour of the tuna auction in the hall will resume on the 26th.

It's early in the morning, but I'm looking forward to it.

After a typhoon, the heat has come back again. By the way, did you know that July 25 is "Shaved Ice Day"?

It is said that it was set by the Japan Shaved Ice Association as a day suitable for eating shaved ice in 1933, following the record of Japan's highest record of 40.8 degrees C at that time in Yamagata City. In addition, shaved ice is also called "summer ice" (Natsugoori), so it is said that it also talks with "7" and "25". After that, on August 16, 2007, it was 40.9 degrees C in Kumagaya City and Tajimi City, and the record was broken for the first time in 74 years.

That's why today we went to Matsuzaki Senmochi for shaved ice. According to the store's guidance, Matsuzaki Senmochi is a long-established store that has been relocated from Uoranzaka to Ginza in the first year of Keio (1865) for more than 200 years. On the first floor along Namiki-dori St., there are a lot of familiar rice crackers. The tea ceremony is located on the 2nd floor and is a favorite place for wives on the way home from shopping. I entered after 16:00 on weekdays, but it was almost full. Looking at the next kuzu mochi set sideways, don't hesitate today to enjoy "Uji Kintoki" (1050 yen). You can also topped with white balls and milk (+100 yen each).

I'm here. I'm here. This shaved ice is served on a pottery plate with a smooth ice so that you can see the thin and thin traces of it. The feel of melting in your mouth makes you feel "summer". Last week, I had a lot of ice at a shop in Osaka, and I felt sorry for me who love shaved ice.

Come on to the core of your head with shaved ice!

There's something that attracts your eyes in front of the cashier. Small white conchs and marbles are in the glass. The appearance that brings a little coolness is wonderful. I took a picture and received a discount ticket valid until the end of September.

I found the perfect phrase for this time in my chronology.

"One day of youth has passed and ice water" (Ueda 5,000 stones)

 

 

 

From 15:30 on July 23 (Saturday), a joint cool-down festival of the Yomachikai (Karagaracho 1-chome northern, Koamicho, Ningyocho 1-chome, Ningyocho Yoshitochokai) was held at Nihonbashi Elementary School.　We had a game corner for the children, and at the eating and drinking corner, we enjoyed curry rice, fried noodles, shaved ice, Frankfurt, etc. Bon Odori began at 18:00 and it was a great success and fun day.

 

 

 

 

Among Chuo-ku, the Kachidoki, Toyomi, and Harumi districts face the sea, so you can see the deepest view of Tokyo Bay.

 

Large foreign ships and Japanese ships that dive down the Rainbow Bridge to reach Harumi Wharf ...

You can also enjoy the ferry arriving at Takeshiba Wharf, Hinode Wharf, Shibaura Wharf, and various ships coming from far away Japan.

The radiance of the rising sun and the beauty of the sunset are impressive.

On the left side of the Rainbow Bridge is the Shinagawa container yard. 

　　　　　　　　　

 　　　　When the whole is dyed red, coffee enriches your heart.

　　　　　　  In the foreground is Toyomi's warehouse.　　

I think that the reflection of glass is that the surface of the sea glows white, but when the sun begins to rise, it spreads to the vicinity of Toyomi's warehouse and disappears as the sun rises.　　　

　　

In fact, it is very difficult to shoot the sunset for more beautiful.

"Sunset" in summer is said to be the most beautiful of the year and is also the "Summer Seasonal" in Haiku.

On the day when the wind blows strongly, the color change of the sky after the sun sinks is exceptional.

I feel tired while drinking beer and reflect on the day.
