[To Kachidoki! Kamitaman May 17, 2016 09:00

I've been to Tokyo Minato matsuri on May 14 and 15.

Around noon, we visited the water fire department pageant from Harumi 2-chome. About two weeks before the event, boats gathered on the Harumi Canal and practiced.

At the venue of Harumi 5-chome, with the aim of opening the rare ship to the public every year. This year, the fire boat "Miyakodori" was open to the public on the 15th. As usual, the Japan Coast Guard survey boat "Ocean", the Tokyo Port and Harbor Bureau dredging ship "Umiryu", the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology training boat "Umitaka Maru", and the minesweeper ship "Tsushima" are open to the public from the Marine Self-Defense Force. Was. This year, I toured the first Miyakodori for about 40 minutes. "Tsushima" is a tour of the appearance only.

In addition, various vehicles are on display from the Ministry of Defense Self-Defense Forces.

At the tip stage of Harumi Wharf, I saw the stage of the Tokyo Fire Music Band.

In addition, on the other side of Harumi Wharf, you can see the completed Toyosu Market. The planned site of Harumi's athlete village is still being leveled, and construction seems to be from now on. With the opening of Route 2, the opening of Toyosu Ohashi and Tsukiji Ohashi will be completed, and I look forward to the future development of Harumi.

This year, the test drive of the water taxi was also made by advance reservation, but the application has been missed. It seems that there will be more and more attempts ahead of the Olympics, and I am looking forward to next year.

[Inform the feeling of reconstruction support! ] Kumamon of Kabukiza and Kumamoto product store (Ginza 4-chome, limited time)

[Dye] May 16, 2016 14:00

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the recent Kumamoto earthquake.

I think that restless days continue, but I hope that you can regain a safe and secure life as soon as possible.

 

There are few things I can do when I am in Tokyo, but I think that even small things can lead to support.

This time, I would like to introduce the Kumamoto product store that is being held at Kibikicho Square in Kabukiza.

I'm going to Oita next time! m(_ _)m)

 

This is near Higashi-Ginza Station, you know! Kabukiza Theater!

s27_01.jpg

 

...Underground there is Kobikicho Hiroba, where souvenirs and restaurants are located.

s27_02.jpg s27_03.jpg

Directly connected to Higashi-Ginza Station on the Toei Asakusa Line and Hibiya Line. A lively atmosphere.

 

The Kumamoto product store is open here only until the end of June.

s27_04.jpg s27_05.jpg

Shimomachi Antenna Shop Kumamoto Amakusa Treasure Chest (seasonal food Nippon Treasure Islandkan)

It seems that he was on a business trip before the Minowabashi train stop on the Toden Arakawa Line.

 

The Kabukiza version Kumamon is cute, isn't it?

s27_06.jpg

I'm going to goemon Ishikawa.☆

 

When I asked about their recommendations, they told me about Amakusa's "Aosa", Aso Marukichi soy sauce "Takemai vinegar", and "Lemon cake".

I am grateful that this is delicious but I can't buy it easily.

s27_07.jpg s27_08.jpg

s27_09.jpg

As it gets hot from now on, vinegar will be especially useful (`・ω ・ ')!

 

Personally, the most hit was Koppamochi.

Sweet potatoes, rice cakes, sugar and water candy are kneaded, and it has a gentle sweetness and texture.

s27_10.jpg s27_11.jpg

 

I suddenly like dumplings, but koppamochi...!!

It's delicious, this should be wider (` ・ ω ・ ')! ! !

 

I was told by the shop.

・It is good to cut with thread when it is soft. (If you use a kitchen knife, it will stick to it.)

・It's rather delicious after it's hardened. (You can intentionally cool it in the refrigerator and cut it with a kitchen knife.)

→It's good to eat it because it's a microwave or a frying pan. Depending on the season, for example, if it is about 5mm thick, you can see it in about 5 to 8 seconds.◎

・You can also freeze it. (Oh, convenient!)

 

It's rather than baked sweet potatoes, rather than sweet potatoes (laughs)

It's easy to eat because it's not mossed at all, and it doesn't contain extra items, so it looks good for your body.

 

Even if you say that Kabukiza is a high threshold, you can easily drop in at Kibikicho Square and enjoy the feeling of Kabuki, and now you can also meet Goemon Kumamon.

 

It is limited to the end of June, but if you have time, please drop in.

Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park is a park built adjacent to the Shukubashi Bridge that spanned the Tsukiji River.

It was created when the Tsukiji River was reclaimed and became an expressway.

ROJI Nihonbashi-Kokubun Select Shop

[rosemary sea] May 16, 2016 09:00

The rosemary sea is committed to "gifts and I enjoy myself."

This time, it is ROJI Nihonbashi, a shop that is perfect for "gift ... fun".

You know the Kokubun Group Headquarters Co., Ltd.

Yes, it's a company famous for its "K&K" brand canned food.

ROJI Nihonbashi is a select shop operated by the Kokubun Group head office.

About Mr. Kokubu ...

Founded in 1712 (Shotoku 2), more than 100 years after the opening of the Edo Shogunate.

Since its founding, it has been set up in Nihonbashi, and its current location (1-1-1 Nihonbashi) has been around since 1756 (Hokkaido 6th year).

It has been a gem of 300 years since it took root in Nihonbashi.

A wholesaler of alcoholic beverages and food that has started its business from soy sauce brewing and has since been transformed into food in line with the new era.

Our management philosophy is "the ability to continue and innovate"-We will deliver a rich life through food-

With this spirit, ROJI Nihonbashi opened on the first floor of the head office building in August 2011.

It is said that this year will be the 5th anniversary.

roji 010a.jpgroji 011a.jpgROJI Nihonbashi Logo png

↑ Pay attention to the logo at the entrance! ROJI = alley, grid and theme color enji, light blue of Nihonbashi River, and the character of Nihonbashi Day is hexagonal turtle mark in the middle. Speaking of Kokubu, it is familiar with "K & K", but in the Edo period, soy sauce produced was sold with the "Kamekko Dai" mark written in "Kamekko" with the word "Large" in "Kamekko". This is exactly the logo of Mr. Kokubu, a symbol of Nihonbashi.

↓ It's full of recommended points, but first of all, from "Can Tsuma" ...

roji 004a.jpgroji 003a.jpgROJI Nihonbashi products 2.jpgROJI Nihonbashi products 4.jpgROJI Nihonbashi products 6.jpg

Can Tsuma = A masterpiece made of canned food, tidbits and tidbits.

A big hit product that sold 7.07 million cans annually by Kokubu. Currently 104 species.

ROJI Nihonbashi sells about 90 items that have been narrowed down.

You will surely find one you like. The 500 yen range is the mainstream. Would you like a gift? I've got it too.

↓ There was a special corner in the premium "Can Tsumago" series.

roji 005a.jpg

The center of the front row is 10,800 yen (tax included) sold in commemoration of the 100 items, "Can Tsumagoku Tabaga the first leg meat boiled gold leaf".

↓ Nihonbashi pickles have been handed down since 1917. It is a gem that has continued to preserve the tradition.

roji 002a.jpg

↓ Japanese fruit. Fruit canned with limited production area, sticking to domestic production. This item is also popular with foreigners.

roji 006a.jpg

↓ PUREMIUM series of fruits of Japan. It's in a box. Perfect for a gift!

ROJI Nihonbashi products 8.jpg

↓ "Yukari no" series (freeze-dried, local juice). It seems that they are aiming to win all prefectures. There were also foreign customers who bought large quantities.

roji 007b.jpg

↓ Kirin's Tsubasa Eitaro Nihonbashi. Co-developed with Eitaro Sohonpo Co., Ltd. The savory crisp texture with separate skin and bean paste. Will Eitaro, the collaboration partner, do you want to start it in the future?

roji 009a.jpg

In addition, wet oysters in collaboration with popular Ninben, rice crackers in collaboration with Yamamoto-noriten, etc. It seems that they are also sold at the collaboration destination.

In addition, instant noodles that stick to soup stock, wine imported by Kokubu ... I can't introduce it.

↓ Contains three cans of gifts. A very kind staff will come together to combine original gifts. For example, if it is a can that goes well with sake, it can be called "Can Tsuma Premium Biwako Ayu Picking (630 yen per can including tax)". ・I'm going to depend on it.

roji 008a.jpg

The customer segment is relatively old, office workers, etc. who are shopping in Nihonbashi. There are still few foreigners.

It is on the first floor of the Kokubun headquarters building, but it may be early if you look for it opposite Eitaro.

The Tokyo Minato Festival is a border and UNIQLO first buy.

[Silver] May 13, 2016 09:00

The Tokyo Minato Festival will be held on May 14th and 15th.

I went to UNIQLO in Ginza to buy a border shirt because it was a fashion suitable for the sea.

This is my first time shopping at UNIQLO. I've heard not only Chinese, but also English, Spanish, and French.

I would like to enjoy the festival with my hat, wearing it on Saint-Pierre et Miquelon Island, feeling like a sailor.

With the permission of a mannequin who always shoots from outside and the clerk, I shot from inside today.

I think it's good to explain to children the principle of rotation of mannequins.
