 Since 2012, Takashi Tanaka Metal Jewelry http://pn.blog.jp/archives/1013975573.html has produced a pure gold Disney tree.

We boldly express Disney characters loved all over the world with pure gold trees and exhibited them at the store of GINZA TANAKA Ginza Main Store, but this year we made platinum with the motif of the big hit movie "Ana and the Snow Queen" It is "Disney Platinum Christmas Tree-Anna and the Queen of Snow"!

 It seems that it took about six months from planning to completion, but 31 kg of pure platinum and the price was 300 million yen (tax included)! 
GINZA TANAKA Ginza Main Store 1F until December 25th.

 There is also a silver tabletop mini tree "Disney Silver Christmas Tree - Ana and the Snow Queen" for those who can't get out of hand. Is the price reasonable? It is said that it is custom-made for 450,000 yen (tax included). (Release until March 31, 2015)

 The platinum tree is 2.6 meters high and is an octagonal cone using 31 kg of pure platinum, depicting the highlights of the movie on each side.
The tree top is decorated with the crowns of Anna and Elsa, platinum is used for snow crystals, and the background is a platinum foil art amount in blue color.

 The octagonal cone with the illustration is rotary, soaking in the silver world of the beautiful "Ana and the Snow Queen" woven by platinum.

 

 The silver tree is almost the same shape and is about 28 cm tall. This is in a glass case with a height of 46 cm.
Each side of the octagonal cone also shows the famous scenes of the movie, but it seems that this printing requires great technology.

In addition, pendants and piercings designed with snow crystals, platinum art amount, hand mirrors of platinum foil, and pure platinum calendars are also available.

■I was worried about the uneven height of the surrounding buildings due to the scenery of the city. In addition, for disaster prevention, in the case of buildings with large glass surfaces, I was worried about the danger of glass fragments falling when there was an earthquake more than expected.

I would like to expect the continuation of close exchange of opinions between businesses and the government, such as unified urban landscapes and urban disaster prevention.

                                                                               The above

 

 

[Showa-doriritankenroku] #01: Creative Japanese restaurant with a heart of hospitality (Ginza 1-chome)

[Dye] 09:00 on November 22, 2014

When it comes to Nihonbashi and Ginza, many people think of Chuo-dori, but there are also many wonderful hidden spots in Showa-dori, which runs parallel to the east of Chuo-dori, and its surroundings.

At this time, I often walk around Showa-dori, and I am absorbed in that charm. So I made a series again. :)

 

The first is a creative Japanese restaurant "Hotomeki" that feels the spirit of hospitality.

The taste and beauty of the dish (*^^ *), and the cospa surprised w (゚O ゚) w

The atmosphere of the shop and clerk is warm and fashionable, and it is really comfortable.

s09_01.jpg s09_02.jpg

Located along Showa-dori between Takaracho Station and Higashi-Ginza Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, next to Ginza Ichi Post Office.

The Gin Toichi Pedestrian Bridge is also a landmark. It is a 4-minute walk from Ginza 1-chome Station on the Yurakucho Line.

 

I visited him several times at lunch, but I'm worried about what to eat deliciously. (If your stomach is bigger. 。 。)

Lunch boxes were also sold at noon, and it was crowded with many customers.

It is full of attractive menus at night, and it seems that it is often reserved.

s09_03.jpg s09_04.jpg

Juicy cod Saikyo yaki and scallop cream croquette. Hamburger with a refreshing taste

 

Among them, the best is "Ginza seafood bowl"

The amount of rice is enough, but no matter how you eat, there are so many more stories on board.

And it was fat, and when I ate it for the first time, my cheeks fell! I thought (^ ;)

It seems that fresh seafood is purchased from Tsukiji, which has been cultivated for more than 30 years and unique routes in various places.

s09_05.jpg

Tamagoyaki is from Tsukiji Marutake, which is also known at Terry Ito's parents' home.

Sushi vinegar is "Shobun vinegar" from Okawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which has a history of 300 years.

I've been in line for a long time in Tsukiji hall several times to eat, but Hotomeki's seafood bowl is more delicious! I think personally.

 

In addition, seafood bowl is served as a service, and you can enjoy a meal of tuna or dessert, but the quality of this dessert is very high.

I don't have an eye on sweets that I'm talking about, but this dessert has exquisite sweetness and sourness, and it may be No. 1 among me.

And it looks so beautiful, I watched it for a while.

s09_06.jpg s09_07.jpg

On the left is an apple dessert. The candy work is beautiful. On the right is a compote of pumpkin pudding and persimmons on another day.

The persimmon was so delicious (≧▽≦) The bubble made of lemon juice is refreshing.

It is said that a chef from a French star restaurant is thinking and making it. The content will change every 10 days.

 

At lunchtime, the above seafood bowl + dessert is ¥1,090, so it is a surprise price.

 

The friendly owner was raised in Chuo-ku, and his parents had been a lunch box shop here for more than 30 years, but it was opened two years ago as the current "Hotomeki".

The store name "Hotomeki" means "hospitality" in the dialect of the Chikugo region centered on Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and it is a shop where you can actually feel wonderful hospitality.

 

As expected, Ginza! But it's a secret!

It's been a long time since I wrote it with excitement, but I want everyone to go and check it out.

 

☆Tuesday, November 25 11:45-It seems that it will be featured on the broadcast "Lunch Trip" (TV Tokyo).☆

Oedo wholesaler festival

[Tachibana] 14:00 on November 21, 2014

 This year, the one-day Oedo wholesaler festival will be held from 9:00 to 16:00 on December 7 (Sun).

poster_H26_12_07.jpgAs I introduced last year, this sale was held by a wholesaler in Bakurocho wholesaler district in Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho.

Because it is a sale that opens the shop, we sell wholesale products at wholesale prices.

You can buy it with confidence.

Shindo-dori is the center, but besides Shindo-dori, there are many wholesalers who open shops only on this day and sell at wholesale prices, so it is fun just to look around in various ways, but Shindo-dori Street is a bit difficult to walk depending on time because the crowd is so crowded.
The nearest stations are Asakusabashi, Bakurocho, Bakuroyokoyama, Higashinihombashi and Kodemmacho.

In addition, although the location is a little away from the Oedo wholesaler festival, "Horikoshi tie", which manufactures and wholesales ties and mufflers, is a little away.
We are doing a family sale for the following period. Unfortunately, the day of the Oedo wholesaler festival is Sunday.
I can't look around with you.

November 24 is "Japanese Food Day" - Lunch Kaiseki Bento of Tsukiji 'Kaiseki Fujiki'

[Desire purple] 09:00 on November 21, 2014

Last year, "Japanese food" was registered in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Property, and combined with health consciousness, it is a global "Japanese food" boom. November is said to be "Japanese food month" recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, "Konbu Day" on the 15th and "Inihonshoku" on November 24th is a Japanese food day. That's why (that's hard ...) I visited Fujiki in Kaiseki cuisine. It's right next to Mr. Honganji. I was guided to a private room with a duggotatsu style. Is it okay for lunch lunch? This style of stretching legs is nice for the body that has become a little difficult. I'm happy to have a beer with my friend. The first thing that came out was the sashimi assortment. Rich that doesn't seem to be sashimi for lunch lunch. Did you get the wrong course? I'm a little worried. (Because I'm small)

Arken Tore ★Italian in Ginza

[Map★] 14:00 on November 20, 2014

I went to Italian Restaurant Week this year too!

It is located on the top floor of the Nitta Building adjacent to Ginza Corido Street.

 

Wellness Italian with plenty of vegetables seems to be the concept,

At lunchtime, an antipast buffet costs 1080 yen!

The shop also felt very good, and on the way home, my companions got a card that gave me free drinks.

 

This time, it is a special menu of Italian Restaurant Week,

There is a bottle of mineral water in the campaign.

 

The appetizers and pasta were delicious, so you can expect a buffet as well★

The store was full of girls (* ^^*)
