Ningyocho Course_2

Ningyocho Course_2_ Map. jpg

 

It's a continuation of the last January.  We leave Koami Shrine to amazake Yokocho. Ningyocho has a variety of long-established Western restaurants. On this street, Koharuken, Raifukutei, and tamahide, a bird dish, are lined up. Near the Ningyocho intersection, there are Kiraku, Yoshimitei, and Imahan, and many shops are introduced on the Internet. Please choose your budget according to your preference.

"Tamahide" near Ningyocho Station on the Hibiya Line. The red frame in the photo was covered with glass, and there used to be a military poultry.

 

I recommend it as a souvenir

"Kyokasuzuke Uokyu" Ningyocho Main Store. I sometimes buy kasuzuke and go home, but it was very popular with my family, and I brought it as a souvenir at my place of work, but it was very popular.

After about 50 meters past the amazake Yokocho intersection, you will find Taiyaki Yanagiya. There are times when there are few people lined up, but there are many customers who buy it, so please allow enough time when purchasing it.

Walk about 100 meters to Shin-ohashi-dori St. along a slightly narrow street in front of the amazake Yokocho intersection, and "Sandwich Parlor Matsumura" on the left side of the street. You can also eat it in the store.

At the Suitengu intersection, the well-known "Ningyo-yaki / Zeitaku Senbei Shigemori Eishindo" and "Mihara Domoto" are known. Mihara-do has a wide variety of salt rice crackers and Japanese confectionery Western confectionery.

 

At the Suitengu intersection, you can see Suitengu, who has just been transferred. If you walk about 200m toward the Sumida River, you will find Tokyo City Air Terminal (TCAT) on the left side under the Metropolitan Expressway. The 2nd floor "Chinese cuisine Ryu Otori" Tantan noodles are popular menu. A little after 12 o'clock, you can get a line, so it's better to remove noon.

If you take T-CAT further to the Sumida River, you will find the Sumida River Ohashi. This bridge is the only two-story structure on the Sumida River, and the upper part is a general road and sidewalk below the Metropolitan Expressway. If you walk to the middle here, the downstream side is Eitai Bridge with a powerful figure. On the upstream side, you can see Kiyosu Bridge and see the Tokyo Sky Tree superimposed in the middle of the suspension bridge shape.

The European Antique Postcard Collection (1900-1910, mainly in Germany)

This is a collection of very beautiful and valuable antique postcards owned by Hitoshi Takao, a New Year's card researcher and New Year's card marketing advisor.

I will introduce it on a monthly basis until March next year. The theme of May is small animals in spring. I'd like to introduce some pictures.

The many antique postcards selected according to the season are beautiful in color and very delicate and cute. If you are near, please take a leisurely look at the Ginza-dori Post Office on the 3rd floor of Eikuniya.

In addition, we present a handmade pamphlet by Mr. Takao with an exhibition postcard every month.

If you collect it for 12 months, it will be a wonderful antique postcard catalogue. Please look forward to it.

※By the way, it is not well known, so it is an announcement of the window side exhibition space of Ginza-dori Post Office.

It is a long and narrow space with a depth of 5.5 meters and a width of 1.3 meters. The white wall has a bulletin board and a bulletin hook. You can display about 10 pieces on the A2 panel.

The price is 10,000 yen per day (excluding consumption tax) in Ginza, so it seems that you can easily use photo exhibitions and children's exhibitions. For inquiries, please contact Ginza-dori Post Office (03-3562-2015) Mr. Takayama.

Tour of Koman Gallery

[Asunaro] May 24, 2016 09:00

Oman. When power begins to be full and relieved (small satisfaction).

 

May when the wind is fragrant. It's time to get used to the new environment and have plenty of time in my mind.
Why don't you visit the gallery during a pleasant season to do anything?

When you hear a gallery, the threshold is high and tend to be shunned, but it is a "free museum" that you can easily enjoy.
It's also interesting to see paintings between silver bras.

There are a lot of galleries in Chuo-ku.
For example, GALERY Ekoan

From the rooftop terrace, you can also see the city of Ginza.

 

 

The Kimura family's bread, karin and donuts bloom on the silver bra Namiki-dori St. in early summer.

On Saturday, May, I enjoyed the silver bra from Namiki-dori St. to Ginza-dori and Namiki-dori St. at 4-chome.

On the back of the building in Hermes, the flowers of "Western Japanese linden tree" were blooming.

It's my first time to see that it has bloomed so clearly. I'm happy to report it to everyone.

Looking at the scientific name, it is called Tilia europaea, and in another name it is Lindenbaum.

 

 Go out on Ginza Street, pass in front of the Kimuraya, and wraps <Tokachi grain bean paste and Hokkaido whipped butter, which are called "our most popular" in soft French bread dough.>I bought an an butter bread that explained. I tried this for breakfast and tried it.
