On Sunday, March 27, 2016 a cherry blossom festival was held at Hamacho Ryokudo (around Benkei statue) in Yokocho, amazake.

The cherry blossoms were still lonely, but the bustling flowers were in full bloom.

・

・

It's amazake that was distributed free of charge!

It was excellent because everyone could drink it without alcohol.

amazake seems to contain enough nutrients to be called infusions to drink.

It seems that Fukuhiki, a masterpiece of each store, was also being carried out, and a long line was formed.

 

 

It is "Ginza Kamo Soba 9th generation Keisuke Ginza Store" located in Ginza 6-chome.

 

Originally, duck soba is a delicious restaurant, but it is drawn by a combination of "sea bream", "clam", "bamboo shoot" and "rapeseed" of "seasonal salt soba", and today I ordered this one.

 

The fillet (2 pieces) of "sea bream" and "clam" are big.

Finished with salt soba that makes use of ingredients.

 

By the way, "Fugudashi Shio 8th generation Keisuke" will open at "Tokyu Plaza Ginza", which will open on March 31.

"Kiki & Lara Exhibition" is being held at Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza.

 

Sanrio's character "Little Twin Stars" (Kiki & Lara) was born in 1975. The two are sisters who came to the earth from a distant star country, and Kanenbo's younger brother Kiki has a large star on his back, and the gentle sister Lara has a star stick.

 

In this exhibition, rough sketches and design drawings at the time of the birth of the character by the first designer, original illustrations created by successive designers, original drawings newly drawn by the first designer and nostalgic goods are displayed.

 

The period is from Wednesday, March 16 to April 4 (Monday).

During the spring break season, Kiki Lara, it's nice timing.

 

On the same floor, "My Melody Exhibition" is also being held.

 

By the way, "My Melody", which is a trademark of Zukin, was "Akazuki-chan" with a motif of the story of a fairy tale red hood.

It is now a popular one alongside the global popular Hello Kitty.

At "REIJINSHA GALLERY" in Ginza 6-chome, an exhibition "On the Wild Night" by two three-dimensional modeling artists, Natsue Tomioka and Nozomi Ueno, has been held from March 18th.

 

Mr. Tomioka and Mr. Ueno are three-dimensional modeling artists who create works with animal motifs.

In this exhibition, works in the shape of various animals are displayed in a gallery divided into "daytime" and "night" by lighting, showing a scene like a zoo.

The texture of your work was completely different, and it was a good contrast in the gallery.

 

Mr. Tomioka exhibited 28 pottery works including 12 new works such as owlmomonga, Mitsuyubinamakemono, Kinshiko, black woodpecker and Hakuba.

 

In producing the work, Tomioka started by examining the ecology of animals, stacking clay "strings" to shape the work.

 

Mr. Ueno exhibited 23 works, including 16 new works, including 16 new works, including giant anteater who smokes at the window of the apartment, and two piglets that fly rubber bands outside, in addition to "Marmanzu Manulneko" and "Tsukuishi".

 

"I expressed the everyday life composed of small events that are supposed to be seen but not noticeable, through the figure of anthropomorphized animals. I hope that the viewer will be free to enjoy it with memories and thoughts." This is Mr. Ueno's words.

 

Opening hours are from 12:00 to 19:00, and Sunday and Monday are closed days.

The period is until April 1st.

 

Thank you for your understanding of the photography in the gallery.

　When I went to Yurakucho and looked at it suddenly, Sukiyabashi Park, which was surrounded by obstructions during renovation, was newly opened. (All photos taken from 15:30 to 16:30 on March 24)

 

　The monument of Sukiyabashi (45 pages of Monoshiri Encyclopedia) is also immediately noticeable.

 　

At the corner of Sotobori-dori St., "Tokyu Plaza", which was a week before opening, seemed to be in a hurry to finish the last.

 

　When I walked along Harumi-dori St. to Tsukiji, "Tsukiji Fish Bank" was removed from the enclosure for construction work, revealing its appearance.

 

　In addition, I saw the flowering of the cherry blossoms at Tsukuda Park, but it was hardly open yet. Yesterday, there was a business near Kudan Kaikan, and when I walked a little around Budokan, it felt like it was blooming for 2 to 3 minutes, but is the cherry blossoms in Tsukuda a little late?

 

　Furthermore, when I walked near River City and Chuo-ohashi Bridge, I felt like it was 1 to 2 minutes blooming here.

 

 

 

The Mie Terrace in Nihonbashi, which is always crowded with many people.

We visited the event "Outdoor & Organic Life in Inabe" held on March 19 and 20. 

Inabe City is located at the northernmost tip of Mie Prefecture.

If you look at the map, it looks like a city because it is close to Yokkaichi City, but it seems to be a place blessed with beautiful nature such as mountains and rivers.

 

We listened to a talk event between Yuki Moritomo (center) and Kaze Terazono (right) who are working on organic farming in that area. .

The moderator is Mr. JUMI of Central FM Personality.

 

Inabe City is blessed with nature, even though it has a "just right distance" from the city, one hour to Nagoya.

It has been transmitted that two young people are enjoying themselves and working on organic farming while trying various things.

 

They also sell organic vegetables at the venue.

It seems that overseas vegetables are also made, and some vegetables have never been seen, so it was very popular.

 

I went home with a pumpkin

When I decided to boil it and eat it with butter, it was so dark and mellow that I didn't need butter, and it was very delicious.

 
It seems that these seasonal vegetables can be purchased by courier in Tokyo.

In addition, farming experiences such as rice, soybeans, and soba owners are also being recruited.

"We have fun doing what we think is good in the pot."

The words in the talk event were impressive.

It seemed that the charm of Inabe City, which many young people chose as relocation destinations, was conveyed.

 

While living in Tokyo, it is unique to Chuo-ku, where there are many antenna shops, where you can learn about various places in Japan.

In addition to the shop on the first floor, there is also an event space on the second floor, and various events are held on the Mie Terrace of Nihonbashi YUITO.

If you are interested, please go out.
