Walking from Nihonbashi to Ginza Ins

[Catherine] February 29, 2012 08:30

Nadeshiko Japan's director Sasaki is advised by his wife and says that it is better to try to take care of nose hair for grooming.


I am also interested in that informationflair

The shop you have inquired.

Founded in 1792 

Mr. Kiya, Nihonbashi

KIYA Original Nosal Harvest Varican Rotary Cut (¥2,310)


Have you been calming down this year?

And a present to the other party on Valentine's Day

I'll try

On the day of Valentine's Day

When I went to Nihonbashi Kiya Honten, I had everything left and made a reservation. It's very popular.


Please make a reservation and contact us at a later date.
The shop carefully taught me how to care for it.
I realized again that care is important for tools. If you use it carefully, you can use it comfortably for a long time. I also purchased hand oil for care.

The other person who usually cuts his nose hair with scissors, convinced that he was able to cut it, and looked at the mirror.sweat01

KIYA's nose hair varican rotary cut!  I was delighted with the smooth cut.happy01


How about a gift for your husband or father?

Then, on the way to Ginza Inns, we passed Nihonbashi and went to Ginza.


The movie "Kirin's Tsubasa-Theatrical Version, Newcomers-" is popular.

The person taking the picture stands out.


We arrived at Ginza Inns near 3 o'clock and had a very late lunch.


Shops that have been crowded these days 

It is spaghetti & curry "Japone" on the 1st floor of Ginza Ins.

It is also famous as a shop with many lines.


Regular (Normal) and Jumbo (Omori) and on top of it are Yokozuna sign01and mastersign01

So, sign01even if you are a regular president, you can eat it, and how much is your master? I'd like to see it.


It was 3 o'clock, so I thought it would be a little okay, and I was still in line.

I was so hungry that I thought it was a great success today, but I had half the time to eat, so I'm a regular mentaiko! (¥550)

Put ¥550 in your pocket and go back to the line so that you can pay immediately. Most men are at first

I'm sorry, but now I don't mind it.

It's the taste of Japanese, "Spaghetti", because it's a nostalgic taste.

It's cheap, delicious and voluminous, so let's make it a big success this time!

There are other chocolate items, such as casual snack chocolate.

 

As expected, Provence, which is called the "land of scent"!

The confiture (jam), which is particular about the ingredients, is unique in using fresh herbs and spices.

For example,...

Pear + vanilla and olive

Framboise + mint

Nectalin (a type of orange) + clove

There were so many kinds of things that were difficult to choose.

The package is also a representative herb of Provence: It's lavender color!

Riejoa, a bitter chocolate parfait that adults from France and Belgium love.

At present, the temple at Tsukiji 3-chome was originally located in Yokoyamacho near Asakusa, but after burning in Edo's kimono fire (1657), it was not allowed to rebuild it to the old land, and it was lowered as a replacement site (wave) It was built bysign03 reclaiming the sea ()sign01 of Hatchobori, mainly by believers (1679).


main hall (1934), which was rebuilt after being burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake, has an ancient Indian style with stone appearance, but this temple has an unusual "pipe organ" in Buddhist temples.shine

On the last Friday of every month, a "lunchtime concert" is held by this pipe organ.

Admission is free and anyone can participate freely. The time is about 30 minutes from 12:20 to 50 minutes.flair


Today's performer was Tomoko Oyama.notes


There were three songs, including Bach and Mendels Zone, and many people listened.confident

At lunchtime before the weekend, the pipe organ I heard at the temple's main hall was glamorous and light, majestic and heavy, very comfortable and soothing.notes



The next concert will be held on March 30 (Fri), and the nearest station is a 1-minute walk from Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Linesubway.happy01

A tempura bowl for lunch at Ginza Tenkuni in 8-chome

[Mapo ★] February 29, 2012 08:30

Ginza Tenkuni is located opposite the Hakuhinkan in Ginza 8-chome.
It is a historical tempura shop founded in 1885.


Lunch tempura bowl can be eaten for 1100 yen on weekdays (* ^^ *)
2 shrimp, kisu, squid fried


Since this day was Sunday, a regular menu
I ate a bowl of 1575 yen.
2 shrimp, kiss, squid fried chicken, lotus root and eggplant.


 


There is also 893 yen for children's tempura bowl.♪


The window seat on the second floor is a large window glass.
You can eat while looking at the opposite Hakuhinkan, Burberry, and Ginza Street.


The freshly fried tempura is wrapped in a bowl sauce of Tengoku tradition.
At that moment, the oil goes out into the bowl sauce, and at the same time, there is a rich bowl sauce.
Soak in the tempura at once, and the tempura made with rice bowl sauce
By putting it on freshly cooked rice, the traditional Edomae Tendon is completed.


--Excerpt from the store's website--

This dark taste is Edomae Tendon.
I'm full with great satisfaction because it's rich!

There is also a booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association! Tokyo Marathon EXPO

[The cat on the slope] February 28, 2012 08:30

The day after tomorrow is the Tokyo Marathon. This is the 6th time of the event. I participated in the 1st and 2nd consecutive times, but since then I have lost to the high competition rate and have been dedicated to supporting Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge every year.

 

By the way, did you know that anyone can enter the Tokyo Marathon Expo held at Tokyo Big Sight free of charge without participating in the marathon as a runner? In fact, the Chuo-ku Tourism Association also exhibits at this Tokyo Marathon Expo every year. As I went earlier, souvenirs unique to Chuo-ku, such as seaweed from Yamamotoyama, candy from Eitaro, and Senshafuroshiki, were sold. Of course, you can also get useful information for sightseeing in Chuo-ku (I didn't have a camera, so I'm sorry that I couldn't introduce the booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association with photos ...).

 

After all, Chuo-ku occupies the longest distance of the Tokyo Marathon courses. This expo will be held tomorrow Saturday as well. If you don't participate in the marathon, please come and visit us. The booth number of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association is C-7.
