A store specializing in globes

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 31, 2015 09:00

Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, a 2-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Mitsukoshimae Station, and a little from Muromachi Koji, I saw the word "Earth globe" in my eyes with a bright yellow neon tube.

It seems that it is the only shop in Japan that specializes in () globes.

Inside the store, large to small, old-fashioned learning to heavy wooden frames, various colors, various materials (including gemstones) are on display.

There was a preconception about globes for learning to be used in world geography, but if you look at the globe on display at this shop, it seems that it will respond to all kinds of requests according to the application.

In particular, there are some wonderful things that you want to keep in the room as interiors (from large ones that are placed directly on the floor to small ones that are placed on a desk), and in fact, there are many purchases as gifts. It seems that you can attach plates etc. according to your wishes.

According to the shop, the president who loves the globe launched a shop specializing in globes 20 years ago on the Internet and opened a shop specializing in globes, and there was a strong demand from customers who wanted to see the real thing, so it was said that this shop was opened 10 years ago.

It is very thankful that you can see and see the globe, such as the globe that is automatically turning slowly with sunlight, and awareness of the globe may change when you come to this shop.

If you are interested, please stop by.

In addition, we received special consent for the prohibition of photography in the store.

The phantom name "Oedo-ku"

[CAM] May 30, 2015 09:00

  

 The current Chuo-ku was formed in 1947 by the integration of the former Nihonbashi Ward and the former Kyobashi Ward, but the Nihonbashi Ward and Kyobashi Ward were established in 1878. It seems that the planner at that time considered the names "Beijiang To-ku" and "Minamiedo-ku". In other words, it seems that the idea was to consider the area of both Nihonbashi and Kyobashi wards as "Edo" and divide it into north and south into two wards. At the time of the establishment of Chuo-ku in 1947 (the integration of both wards), it seems that there was a plan to name "Edo-ku" or "Oedo-ku".

 

 This reminds me of the background that the name of the subway and Toei "Oedo Line" was decided. At the end of November 2000, as a result of the public offering, "Tokyo Loop Line" was nominated as the first candidate, but at that time, Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara said, "The ring line will return to the same place no matter how many times it turns," and "The majority of the votes confusing with the Yamanote Line (JR East) or the Osaka Loop Line (JR West Japan) was selected. Initially, the committee argued that Shinjuku was not appropriate because it was outside the area of Edo, but the Transportation Bureau said that it was geographical and economical by running around the route and adding a "large" It persuaded the committee to express the cultural spread and came to the decision.

 

 From now on, I feel that the name of this ward may have been better around Oedo Ward than inorganic and monthly names such as "Chuo-ku".

 

 "Chuo-ku" seems to be located in Osaka, Kobe, Sapporo, Niigata, Fukuoka, Chiba, Kumamoto and Sagamihara in addition to Tokyo.

The lights of Tokyo, the lights of Chuo-ku

[Koedo Itabashi] May 29, 2015 14:00

"The plane came over Boso peninsula."

The captain's crisp announcement will reach your ears.

It was so fast.

I returned to reality from a nap and looked down at the night view of Tokyo Bay.

A clear night sky after a long time. A seat by the right window. We've got a good condition.

The gate bridge with a white light line shows up.

What is the direction of Chuo-ku?

If you use the Sky Tree as a landmark, you can see the outline of the Sumida River.

The Chuo-ku floating in the light from the sky is also remembered.

 

This time it was the way back to thank you to Izumo Taisha Shrine.

Taking advantage of the 1300th anniversary of Kojiki, compiled in 712, a trip to San-in, Izumo Taisha Shrine

I continue to worship.

Last year, the marriage ceremony of Kunimaro Senke and Noriko provided a lively topic.

The story of marriage by a guide with the mark of Yuru-chara "Shimanekko" is

There was a lot of trivia that I wanted to talk right away.

 

I took the inn to Matsue, but the TV news of that day and the local newspaper "Nihonkai Shimbun"

An article on "Matsue Castle Tower, National Treasure" was dancing on one side.

A celebration banner is posted on the ruins of the armor tower.

It was the first ride after the report to be designated as a national treasure.

There are 12 castle towers nationwide, among which it is the fifth national treasure.

The castle was built in Keicho 16 (1611).

The statue of Yoshiharu Horio, who is said to have laid the foundation for the present Matsue City, is in charge of the castle construction.

It was built in Otemae Square two years ago.

 

Before the trip, I visited the Nihonbashi Shimanekan.

Information on Izumo and Iwami is packed at an antenna shop in Shimane Prefecture.

1-5-3, Nihonbashimuromachi, Chuo-ku

From the A4 exit of Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro (Ginza Line, Hanzomon Line) to the ground, you can see it in front of you.

That's right.

 

 

 

On the first midsummer day, shaved ice [Tsuruya Yoshinobu Tokyo store]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 28, 2015 14:00

In the afternoon of this year's first midsummer day in Tokyo, we had the first shaved ice this year at the tea room at the Tsuruya Yoshinobu Tokyo store on the first floor of 1-chome COREDO Muromachi, Nihonbashi Muromachi.

Yoshinobu Tsuruya is a long-established Kyoto confectionery founded in 1803 in the Edo period (1803).

Uji Shigure Matcha, condensed milk, shiratama, vanilla ice, and azuki on fine shaved ice melts in your mouth and makes you happy.

The tea served is also said to be Ippodo Saho's Iribancha in Kyoto, and this also really enhances the sweetness.

tsuruy40.JPG

It is a matcha parfait vanilla ice cream, matcha ice cream, fresh cream, matcha jelly, azuki, middle skin and all-star footsteps

Azuki is very elegant, and the compatibility with ice cream is exquisite.

Tsuruya Yoshinobu seems to have a family lesson that has been handed down from generation to generation, and one of them is said to be "Yakimonotsukuru ni material, time and effort".

This family lesson (philosophy) has been protecting Tsuruya Yoshinobu's "Noren" for more than 200 years, so I thought while eating too delicious shaved ice.

I'll come again.

The photo shows a view of COREDO Muromachi 3 Building from Edo Sakura-dori St., which has become a beautiful row of cherry trees.
