At "Sony Imaging Gallery Ginza" on the 6th floor of the Sony Building in Ginza 5-chome, "Zenji Uehara Exhibition My Neighbor Cosmos Next Space" is currently being held.

At this exhibition, Uehara devised a photography system in 2009, photographs using Soratama, photographs using kaleidoscopes, and long lens food, and photographs of the "Marumado" method, which has the effect of looking into the garden from the window of the temple, are on display.

By using these systems and methods, what is close to us is regarded as a microcosmic, and it is a photograph that gives a very fresh impression.

Not only is the color beautiful, but there is a surprise that such things (rust manhole cover and traces of balls left on walls) can be regarded as space (stars).

This exhibition reflects the author's intention to "discover the small universe right next to me" very well.

The period is from Friday, December 18 to Thursday, January 14.

In addition, we received your understanding about the photography at the gallery.

Snow hanging [Ginza Shochiku Square]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 27, 2015 16:00

It is a state of hanging pine trees at Ginza Shochiku Square (1-13-1 Tsukiji), just shortly after crossing Mannen Bridge and crossing the Metropolitan Expressway from Kabukiza.

Snow hanging is to hold branches with ropes so that tree branches do not break due to the adhesion of snow in winter, but it is famous for those from Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, snowy country.

In the snowy country, it is both practical and decoration, but in Tokyo where there is little snow, it seems that it was adopted as a decoration to add a touch to the garden, and in Chuo-ku, the suspension of snow at the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is also held around mid-November as a winter tradition. Will be

I didn't notice until now, but there was also snow hanging in a familiar place.

There is also a bamboo planting area in this square, and one person convinced that it is "Shochiku" with pine and bamboo hanging from snow.

The red circle on the map above is Ginza Shochiku Square.

If you want to eat authentic sword-shaving noodles in Ginza ~ Xi'an cuisine XI'AN Ginza store ~

[Nojinya] December 27, 2015 09:00

When it comes to Shiwasu, there are many invitations for year-end parties, and I often spend drinking at night. The day after drinking, the body is sweating and wants to emit toxins in the body, or I miss the irritating food. In such a case, when I am not fine due to the summer heat, the cold winter, etc., I will bother you at "Xi'an cuisine XI'AN" at Ginza Yanagi-dori St.Xian1.jpg

This is too crowded to form a line after 12:00 at noon, so I will round up my morning work a little early and enter the shop around 11:50. I was relieved to be able to secure a seat somehow, and immediately I would like the standard menu "Mahler's sword cut noodles and incense (Pakuchi / Koreander)".

 

~~~The mini commentary here as usual. 。 。 "Sword shaved noodles" is originally a specialty of Shanxi Province, China. Standing in front of the pot and kneaded flour using a knife shaped knives into a noodle shape (see the photo in the kitchen below) Put it directly in a boiling pot and boil it.
In addition, "Mahler" means "raway"-the spicy spicy chili, and "maway"-the pepper represented by Sichuan cuisine. It is a taste that combines two types of spicy sauce that makes your tongue numb ~~

 

In the meantime, customers will arrive more and more. The vacant seats that had just arrived are quickly buried, and a line begins to form at the entrance. This area is close to offices such as Yaesu, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho, so there are many workers-like customers, but this shop has many Chinese and foreign customers, and today the seats on both sides of me were Chinese (like those working nearby). The floor staff is mostly from China except Mr. Takeuchi, the store manager, and Chinese flutters to interact with customers. Xian2.jpgThis shop is a chain store of Toyoso Foods, which has Yakitori Kushihachichin, etc. in a group, but both Cock and Chinese people living in Japan taste the taste of taiko. It seems that many Chinese people visit here in search of the taste of their hometown.Xian4.jpg

 

"I've been waiting a lot of Mahler noodles!" A clerk who is familiar with the face will bring you the food.Xian3.jpg

[A lot of sharp sword noodles and kana] ⇒750 yenya!

 

Be armed with a paper apron and start eating. 。 。

"Yeah, I've come back!" The spirit of the body is blown out and it is rejuvenated at once. Of course, the texture of the noodles and the savory flavor of peppers, peppers, and fragrant vegetables are always delicious.

"Well, do you work hard in the afternoon! 。 。 。 Thank you, stuttering! (Thank you very much.)'

There are quite a few shops that serve spicy dishes in Tokyo, but I just want to taste the authentic "hemp taste" of pepper, so I just go to this shop in Ginza. I'm going to come again next week. 。 。

 

Added: If you would like to re-examine your sharpness with a sweet one, there is a shop (Okinawa antenna shop) opposite the shop, so how about ice cream with blue seal?
