Leonidas chocolate ★Belgian royal family

[Mapo ★] Nov. 23, 2011 08:30

Currently, there are 6 manufacturers of chocolates for the Belgian royal family, one of which is Leonidas.
Leonidas is also said to be the most famous luxury chocolate in Belgium.

In Ginza, there is a shop along Yanagidori, 2-chome.
When I went there for the first time, I bought an unusual amount of chocolate.
Choose your favorite chocolate and buy it. It's 945 yen for 6 children.
Each one is large enough to eat and is so cheap!
This price is groundbreaking with Belgian chocolate.

I really like praline in the shape of a shell.
There are two kinds of chocolates, milk and bitter.
Or I'm glad that there are three types of white.
 
Bush Prarine, Fluid Mail in the shape of a shell, Marron, Casanova,
6 pieces of Louise, Alexander Lugran, with caramel cream.

By the way, this box without partition is called barotan,
The most commonly used chocolate shops in Belgium.
It seems to be a take-out box exclusively for chocolate.


 
 
I also bought a puzzle-like chocolate with 9 kinds of plate chocolates.


I went to the second time around September of this year.
I bought such a cute fruit jelly.
It's big and three-dimensional, though
It was easy to eat because it was broken in half.
It's 300 yen per car.★
It's big and looks good, so it's definitely a great gift.
Strawberry, peach, orange and pineapple!


 


Also, there was such a charity chocolate!
300 yen (* ^^ *) for three things costs about 450 yen.
It seems that some of them will be donated to support reconstruction.


 


The chocolate here is the chocolate you want to eat personally sometimes.
I think there is also a good cost performance.★
 



 

 

Beckoning cat chocolate from a good Ginza Engi shop

[Mapo ★] Nov. 22, 2011 08:30

On the 1st floor of the Ginza Core Building, there is a narrow alley between the Ennoteca wine shop and Adidas.
It's the shop I found while walking there.

"Good luck shop" is a very auspicious name (* ^^ *)
A lot of lucky items goods are lined up.

I found this kind of chocolate of a mimicry cat!
There is also Omikuji, chocolate is also delicious.
I'm glad that it doesn't melt even in summer because it's coated!

 

 

A nice staff member who responded at that time.
It seems that blogs are also being done, and there are also product information and photos!

Ginza Engi Good House Blog


I was in a hurry that day, so I heard about Kabuki goods that I was interested in.
If I bothered you again later, the shutter was half open on the holiday.
I was able to hear the story from the owner!

And I also took pictures of Kabuki goods.♪

It seems that everything is made entirely of original, and now Kabukiza is also being renovated.
It seems that they are also sold to other theaters.

Socks, handkerchiefs, Tenugui, clear files, etc.
I think foreign people will be pleased!
It's interesting that the socks look like tabi (laughs).

By the way, here it seems that it is named GINZA ALLEY Street.

It's a shop I happened to find, but there are still many fun shops in Ginza.♪

The sad event of Eitai Bridge 

[kimitaku] Nov. 18, 2011 08:30

 The Eitai Bridge over the Sumida River was bridged in Genroku 6 (1693) 150M upstream from its current location.

The exterior is solid, and it feels like a man.

 There was a sad event on this bridge a long time ago.

 At that time, it took enormous money to repair and maintain the bridge, and there was a danger of flooding and burning, and the Shogunate left Ryogoku Bridge.

The Eitai Bridge has been abolished. The townspeople left the bridge by maintaining them on their own.

I couldn't repair it.

 On August 19, 1807, Eitai Bridge was broken at the festival (Note) of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine.

It was very busy with the revival of the festival for the first time in 34 years, and the festival on the 15th was extended by rain, and it was the 19th.

Until the Hitotsubashi family passed under the bridge, the bridge was closed, and as soon as it was lifted, the townspeople stopped the bridge all at once.

As I crossed, the middle was broken down. Unknown crowds ran out, the bridge was broken, and many were throwing.

I was drowned out and drowned. That number is 440.

 I can't remember now, but recently I've heard interesting stories from old men.

In the 1930s, he climbed and descended the arch of that bridge and played instead of a slide.

He said he was looking down at the cars coming and going from above. It seems that neither adult nor policeman was angry at anything.

 When I looked at the bridge, I somehow wanted to go up and see it. But let's stop because it's dangerous.

 

The shrine parishioner of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine is located not only in Koto-ku, but also in Shinkawa and Reigishima, Chuo-ku. For a festival

portable shrine walks across the Eitai Bridge. In the Edo period, there were many floats in addition to portable shrine, as well as stalls and dances.

The food stalls were also very busy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The retro building of Ginza Okuno Building

[Mumin] Nov. 18, 2011 08:30

The Okuno Building was built in Ginza 1-chome in 1932 (1932) as an ultra-modern apartment at that time. In addition to the office, the building at that time had a rental store on the first floor, an envoy room, a warehouse underground, a shared bathroom with gender distinction, a lounge and a laundry room on the floor, and the 2nd to 6th floors were living. Was. The elevator was also installed because it was a six-story building. After that, the 7th floor was expanded. The exterior of the building was made of scratch tiles (jagged tiles) that are common in buildings at the time of completion. The entrance on the first floor also has a unique round window of the time.

With the opening of "Gallery Streetbo" in 1992, the current number of galleries is more than 30, and it is an antique building with a scent of art.
