[Mido] April 12, 2014 14:00

"Nihonbashi Fukushimakan MIDETTE" opened on April 12 (Sat).
It seems to be a base for transmitting information in the Tokyo metropolitan area in Fukushima Prefecture, which was born in Nihonbashi.
The nickname "MIDETTE" is "Look, come and see."
Expressing the dialect of Fukushima Prefecture, Fukushima's "now" and "attractiveness, energy, and vitality."
"Please look at it."


Seasonal sightseeing, including the appeal of specialty products such as sake, fruits, and crafts.
It seems that they will send information and event information.
The location of Nihonbashi Fukushimakan is 4-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku, and is familiar with this neighborhood.
If you don't know if you're next to Ginza Lion.
The area is about 454 square meters, established by the prefecture and the Federation of Prefectural Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and prefectural tourism products

Oxitanial, a French confectionery specialty store ★Suitengumae

[Mapo ★] April 12, 2014 09:00

Speaking of Club Harrier, it's a famous restaurant in Baumkuchen.

The French confectionery specialty store "Oxitanial" is located in front of Suitengu in front of the club Harrie.

 

 

There were a lot of customers who took it out.

There are various kinds of macaron, raw caramel, pound cake, etc.

The egg-shaped baked confectionery called Okushitaniarkokko seems to be popular.

 

It was after eating sushi on this day, so I ate cakes at the cafe.

It was a design that looked like a blog, so I chose this one (laughs).

Orange and mousse are refreshing and good for the coming season (* ^^ *)

This is macaron.

The exterior is also fashionable.

Love the cherry blossoms (?) Where you get to and from the public bath...

[Kenken] April 12, 2014 09:00

This is the first appearance. My name is Kenken, who loves walking around the city and eating and drinking. Thank you very much.

 

By the way, on the weekend just before the end of the cherry blossom season, I took a walk from around Muromachi.

BOJ.JPG

A new facility was opened, and the cherry blossoms around Coredo Muromachi, which had been crowded with shoppers and meals, had a lot of leaves, but it was still visible around the Bank of Japan, a little far away.

 

I went to Nihonbashi. I wonder if the leaves were a little noticeable here.

Akebono.JPGFrom there, take Chuo-dori to Ginza at once.

When you approach the Ginza 4-chome intersection, you will be attracted to the scent of sweet and good eggs and go to "Ginza Akebono" (Ginza 5-7-19).

 

 

 

At the store, "Ichigo Daifuku" called "Ginza Main Store Limited" was sold. If I noticed, I lined up in a line of about a few people and purchased four as souvenirs for my family. (The picture of Strawberry Daifuku, which is important, wasn't it?...

 Ichigo Daifuku.JPG


  

From here, enter one street and go to Suzuran Street. Actually, the real destination I've walked all the way from Muromachi is "Kinharuyu" (Ginza 8-7-5).

Wouldn't it be better to refresh yourself in a public bath in the middle of the town when you get a little tired and sweaty?

As expected, a public bath in the downtown area. The hot water is slightly hot, 43.6 degrees Celsius. By the time I was able to massage my back, waist, and calf moderately on the jet bus, it was completely cherry-colored below my neck. (Sakura connection)

 

 Well, the time went around 4 o'clock.

In addition to walking around the city, I feel a little hungry after taking a bath...And when I left Kinharuyu and returned a little toward Ginza 4-chome, Odenya's "Yasuyuki" (Ginza 7-8-14) has a good timing.Yasuko.JPG


Immediately pass through the counter in front of the pot and have a glass of draft beer. Oh, it's the perfect time. The shampooed hair was half-dried, and I received my favorite tofu and thread konjac.

It's almost transparent soup stock, but this is exquisite. The tofu tasted well and tasted good.

 

I drank two glasses of beer in good condition, so I feel quite good.

The town walk on this day was moderate and took a bus and hurried to the house.

Well, where should I go next?

 

 

 

 

April 13 is "Shintomi" Day

[Apricot peony] April 11, 2014 17:45

"Shintomi" is sandwiched between Tsukiji and Ginza.

In the past, "town" was attached to "Shintomicho".

The origin of the name is that it was given to Otomicho on the west side in 1871, and the "rich" of Shin-Shimabara's "new" and "Otomicho" were combined into "Shintomicho". There are two theories.

 

Speaking of Shin-Shimabara, at the beginning of the Meiji era, I guessed that a foreign settlement was created in Akashicho, just next to it, and eventually ended in a short period of time.

In such a relationship, Shintomi-cho had the Hanayanagi world until relatively recently, and at the time of the festival, "Shintomi-cho Geisha" was showing a glossy appearance.

 

And what should not be forgotten is Shintomiza.

Morita-za, one of Edo Sanza, moved from Saruwaka-cho to the current tax office in 1872, and was renamed Shintomi-za in 1875.

It became Japan's leading theater as a social venue for Civilization and enlightenment, but unfortunately it was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

It happened that there was a program from the Taisho era in my home, but a famous actor appeared, reminiscent of the situation at that time.

At present, Shintomi-za Children's Kabuki, which began to convey the tradition of such a "play town" to the present, has earned a reputation.

Such Shintomi-cho is often said to be a hideaway area for adults known to those in the know.

However, isn't it a hideaway, but to let more people know the goodness of this town? The event called "Shintomi Day" will be held.

 

 

This event, which is the third time after repeated, will be held on the 12th (Sat) from 15:00 to 19:00 as the eve of "Shintomicho Ladder Sake".

They buy tickets common to each store and ladder 14 famous local stores.

Some people get acquainted while walking, and it's okay alone at all.

 

On the 13th (Sun), there will be a lecture by Takahiro Ebisawa in Shochiku costumes in the morning, and a lecture by Kabuki sommelier Kentaro Okuda in the afternoon + meal "Kabuki de Utage" and a public practice of Shintomiza Children's Kabuki. There is.

 

Furthermore, on both the 12th and 13th, Kabuki props and costumes will be released at the Japan Printing Hall, and mini cafes will be prepared.

It's a rare opportunity, so why not come to "Shintomi"?

 

In addition, some events require advance reservations and admission tickets.

In addition, please check the website "Shintomi-san" for details, including the exhibition time zone.

Spring is full: The sight from the Sumida River Cruise

[wombat] April 11, 2014 16:00

 

 On April 5, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, we boarded from Nitenmon after noon. For two and a half hours, I went around Odaiba and returned to Nitenmon again. A group of 15 people talk about cherry blossom viewing.

 IMG_1205.JPG There were a lot of foreigners on board.

 I looked at Tsukishima from the boat. A family is invited by the weather, and,

 The weather was nice, so everyone went to see the cherry blossoms.

 

IMG_1199.JPG  IMG_1204.JPG

 I took a picture of St. Luke's Garden from a different direction.

It looked like one, twins, and the cherry blossoms along the coast were wonderful.

 

IMG_1201.JPG IMG_1217.JPG

    

 I took a picture of the Sky Tree in a distant view on a different bridge. You know what bridge is.

I'm happy if it's the right answer.

 

IMG_1231.JPG IMG_1230.JPG IMG_1233.JPG

 Finally, after disembarking, we stopped by Senso-ji Temple and went to the banquet.

weeping cherry tree? (Is it different from Kyoto?) It was a day to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

 I visited Wakamatsuya's gallery for the first time in a long time.

There is a wonderful painting in the gallery.

When you go inside a little, you will see a number of really fashionable paintings.

You can hear Jazz and it's the best atmosphere.

If you tilt your whiskey glass, you will have a blissful time.
