This year, "Spring Rose Garden" has begun, with a special release of the terrace of the Royal Room on the 10th floor of "Fankel Ginza Square" (Ginza 5) near the Ginza 4-chome intersection.

Date: May 6 (Fri)-May 13 (Fri) 11:30-18:30

This spring, the ninth year, we decided to focus on yellow roses, which are said to be happy, as the leading role because we wanted to elaborate a different taste.

It is a garden production with bright yellow colors.

Furthermore, in order to create an event that leads to happiness, I have tied up with Bhutan, known as a country of happiness, and have been able to hold it as a "Project to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Bhutan."

Various events such as talk shows, mini-concerts, and rose arrangement demonstrations are also planned during the period to encourage visitors to spend a high-quality and happy Ginza time.

Why don't you enjoy a rich time for a while while feeling the seasonal wind?

Mori no Totasuke Nihonbashi Store Sendai beef tongue ware specialty store

[Silver] May 9, 2016 09:00

 In the Nihonbashi area, many new buildings have been built and many restaurants have been built there.

"Everywhere is full at lunch, waiting time is long," I will tell you a secret place.

A building completed about a year ago at the southeast corner of the Nihonbashi intersection.

Located on the first basement floor of Tokyo Nihonbashi Tower, Nihonbashi 2-7-1, the restaurant district is a secret place.

Among them, the “Sendai beef tongue ware specialty store Morino Totasuke Nihonbashi Store” was our third visit.

We arrived exactly at 12:00 on the holiday, but there was no waiting time, so we got to a seat right away.

"Six freshly baked thick beef tongues, oxtails with salty green onions, wheat toro rice, yam toro, beef tsukudani, light Chinese cabbage and eggplant pickles, ¥ 1,620!

It was very delicious. Considering walking around the city from noon (forget about diet), I replaced rice (free).

There are five table seats for 4 people and one for 2 people. At the counter, about 10 people were able to sit comfortably and enjoyed it.

Tasuke is recommended for those who want to eat delicious food with gutsuri.

 

 

Yakisoba [Nihonbashi Fukushimakan]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 8, 2016 18:00

Facing Nihonbashi Muromachi 4-chome, near JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station, Chuo-dori, there is an antenna shop "Nihonbashi Fukushimakan-MIDETTE" in Fukushima Prefecture.

At the eating and drinking corner in the shop, you can enjoy a menu related to Fukushima Prefecture.

It was yakisoba on the day.

Speaking of yakisoba in Fukushima Prefecture, it was the impression of local gourmet "Nami Eyakisoba", but this time it was yakisoba made of noodles from Asakawa-cho.

You can also drink local beer at the eating and drinking corner.

At the information corner, a video of a composer from Fukushima Prefecture, Yuji Koseki, was also played, introducing music festivals and bronze statues to commemorate him.

Galerie Tamenaga Aispiri Memorial Exhibition From April 13 to May 29

[Silver] May 8, 2016 09:00

 "Ginza Hundred Points" is an information magazine that informs you of the latest information on shops in Ginza.

In the April issue, I learned that a famous French painter Izpiri died.

And almost all of Aispiri's works that have been drawn in the past 50 years have been housed in museums and collectors through Galerie Tanaga.

For information on "Ginza 100 Points"

"I would like to continue to exhibit this great painter's masterpiece in the future, and we look forward to your visit."

I went to see Mr. Aispiri's work.

When I saw my work in Galerie, I was impressed by the fact that it was really nice blue and that the fine works were drawn in a friendly way to us and the children.

In the artist's work, I love the scenery of Le Grand Canal and yachts.

Also, in the work, I suddenly felt, "Isn't the boy in this picture depicting Mr. Izpiri himself?"

 With that in mind, "The work of the painter is loved by people all over the world even after his death." I thought, "If you draw a self-portrait or anthropomorphic object or person in your work, you can do it with the work after death."

 

I pray for the happiness of the great painter and express my deepest respect to Aispiri, who has created many wonderful works.

The exhibition will be held until May 29th.

Galerie Tamenaga's address is Ginza 7-5-4.

Welcome! A bird

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] May 7, 2016 18:00

 Today, May 6 was the middle tide, and the Sumida River terrace in the morning was quite tide.

 Well, an unfamiliar bird is having dinner with Ukishima resident Indian spot-billed duck.

 What a bird, Mr. ruddy turnstone!

 

 Travel birds are used to spend winter in Southeast Asia and Australia, and to build a family in summer.

 They go to Siberia and stop by spring and autumn for a break to Japan.

 

 Here in Tokyo, the bird garden in Kasai Rinkai Park is the observation point.

 

 But today I'm thrilled to meet six ruddy turnstones in front of you!

 I want you to fill your stomach with the delicious prey of the Sumida River and travel to Siberia well.

 

 The walk on the Sumida River Terrace is also attractive because you can see different scenery due to the tide.

The 10th Ginza willow Festival May 5th, 2016

[Silver] May 7, 2016 14:00

 This year, it was held grandly with many customers under sunny weather.

It seems that some foreign tourists came across by chance.

Looking at the crowds gathered on Nishi-Ginza Street, I asked, "What kind of event do you have?"

As I was told, I was very impressed by the marching band that started following the introduction of the guest.

 

Beginning with the marching band of the Metropolitan Police Department.

A car rided by Mayor Yata Chuo and the 34th Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador, Miss Chuo Natsumi Hirose of Miss Chuo advanced.

The Metropolitan Police Department bands, the imposter scam Eradication Campaign, the city of gang elimination declarations, and the courage to cut off drugs, followed by marches.

"I'm fine! It seems that the person who says "is the most susceptible to fraud.

Let's make the phone an answering machine or a recording. Even if you claim to be my son, "Who are you?" "It's also necessary to go out at least once.

If you receive such a phone call, "Let's call my son and check it."

 

Next is the route by Shimbashi Geishas of "East Odori". Oh, it's beautiful! This is the best of Edo, the beauty of Japan.

DSC00400 (360x202). jpg

We received a postcard to inform you that this year's "Higashi Odori" will be held at Shimbashi Enbujo for four days from May 19 (Thu) to 22 (Sun).

 

By the way, the marching band started with a band of students from Hachioji High School, and one of the leading universities in Tokyo participated.

DSC00408 (360x202). jpg

The general public of the Sen Osamu Brass Band was also participating. They play bagpipes and the costumes are also authentic.

DSC00435 (360x202). jpg

And from Chuo-ku, the members of the Nihonbashi Junior High School brass band, who are also active in supporting the Tokyo Marathon, were performing well and marching. .

DSC00444 (360x202). jpg

The marching band ends before 13 o'clock and lunch time until 14 o'clock. Everyone, I think they had a delicious food in Ginza.

 

From 14:00, traditional dances will be performed at 2-chome, and from 3-chome to 7-chome, hands-on events and performances by Heven Artists will be performed.

 Today is Children's Day, so a lot of children were coming.

People from Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture, experience rice planting for children.

Hachijojima Island also served as a tourist guide and gave the children the experience of Hachijo Taiko.

"Experience of a yellow patrol bike test drive" by the Metropolitan High Patrol Corps.

(We appreciate your understanding of this daughter's photo posting.)

 

There were also tourist information from various places such as Gunma and Ibaraki prefectures, and the children seemed to be very happy to shake hands with the stuffed animals of the character.

 

Heaven Archist's acting unintentionally, or (here there were many small fathers.)

"Why can you do that?" The expressions of the children who observed strangely were very cute, and the great performance was shouting loud.

I would like you to continue the Ginza Yanagi Festival for a long time. Thank you very much to all the organizers.
