There are a lot of work done, and I want to go inside.
"Nishikitamakan Lemon" 216 yen contains fine lemon skin.
The sourness and moderate bitterness of the skin make you feel very refreshing, summery, and cool.

It looks watermelon, but the taste is just watermelon!

Nippon Maru Kaiomaru at Harumi Wharf

[kimitaku] July 27, 2016 12:00

Take a walk at Toyoumi Wharf on a hot day in July.

Looking at Harumi Wharf on the opposite shore, a big sailing ship was found.

I was anchored against the background of Rainbow Bridge.

Compared to the pier observation deck, you can feel the size of the ship.

When I approached the hull toward Harumi Wharf. There is a golden emblem on the bow.

It was shining brightly in the morning sun.

It is a pity that Kaiomaru II (pictured in the center above) cannot be seen near the anchorage near Shin-Toyomi Bridge at Harumi Wharf.

Nippon Maru Kaiomaru is sometimes anchored at Harumi Pier. It's unusual for both to be anchored.

"Spain Club Ginza" dolo Simpática

[Silver] July 26, 2016 18:00

I came to "Spain Club Ginza" for the first time.

Located in Ginza 7-chome 10-5, it is behind the Ginza Lion 7-chome store and Nicholas G-Hi Eck Center.

Today, I feel the best feeling of "Tomo is coming from a distant place again without having fun."

There is a carpet in front of the shop and a shop. I felt like I came to Spain all the way.

The first floor is the Spanish product hall of wine and gourmet, and is named "Bodegaspain Club Ginza". Here, like a wine cellar, we sell Spanish wines and other items. Bodega means wine cellar, isn't it?

 

The back of the first floor is a bar and the name is "Balspaine Club Ginza". This is good to sit alone at the counter, or when there are many friends, I think it is good to stand and chat.

1469104109979 (360x203). jpg

 

When you go up to the second floor, it is an elegant and quiet restaurant.

The lovely Amigo and Miss B, who came from mainland Spain (also speaking Portuguese)

Take care not to enter too much, and make your friends smile.

And first of all, Spanish beer (called Serbessa).

1469104018881 (360x203). jpg

 

My favorite little dry white wine. Here, you will serve olives as the first stick until you can cook it.

Salute! A votre sante! Saude! And Italy touched the tip of the wine glass, and as the sound suggests, "Chin Chin" became a hot topic.

 

Soon, I ordered the first carefully decorated pinchoss.

It was a very sophisticated taste, such as Spanish Iberico pork ham and goat cheese.

Don't you bring the next hot dish until you finish eating appetizer? I thought it was a quiet and great consideration.

 In my case, I haven't eaten so much recently, but I've come to want to enjoy a meal slowly because a little bit of delicious food is fine.

Familiar, Spain Omelette and Paerilla, don't complain. Olive oil is also modest, and it does not cause stomach leaning or heartburn. Please enjoy wonderful and authentic Spanish cuisine at "Spanish Club Ginza".

With my friend, I was able to promise a reunion with a smile, "Let's come again!"

 

By the way, the word "Tomo comes from a distant place and does not enjoy it" is a word in the "Rongo" that describes Confucius's words and ideas. One of the best pleasures of life is to enjoy drinking and chat with good friends. I agree with you.

 

PS. The Spanish Club in Tsukishima has been there about 10 times, both day and night.

The Tsukishima store has a flamenco show every Monday, which is very popular. Please go out here as well.

A little more about eel

[CAM] July 26, 2016 16:00

 "Doyo Ox Day" is also close, and I want to continue talking about eel a little more.

 

 When I happened to see a site called "8 eel shops I want to go to this summer", the name "Takebatei (Ginza)" is listed, and "If you say eel in Ginza, it is a famous restaurant that has the best name. The main store near Tsukiji has a quaint appearance and is also known as a shop loved by many literary writers such as Kafu Nagai. The Ginza store in front of Mitsukoshi can be eaten casually at a relatively affordable price for a prime location in Ginza."

http://news.infoseek.co.jp/article/zuuonline_112773/?p=2

 

 However, I don't think Kafu frequently went to Takebatei. When I read the Shokutei Nijo, I immediately think of Ginza Shokudo in Ginza and Kinbei in Shimbashi as the names of the shops where the wind passed, but as far as I know, the name of Takebatei has not appeared.

 

 Ginza Shokudo in Ginza and Shimbashi restaurant Kinbei is not a luxury restaurant, but in Nijo, "Go out to Ginza and eat at the Ginza Shokudo, Ginkanari, a clam soup taste Jinkanari" (January 10, 1929), "Ginza Shokudo in Ginza 1929", "Ginza 1929", "Ginza 9th", "Gin 9th", "Gin Ginza 9th", "Gin Ginza Shoku", "Gin 19th", "Gin Ginza Shoku", "Gin Ginza Shoku", "Ginzakeshi", "Gin Ginza Shokuin 9th", "Gin Ginza Shokuin Ginza Shokuin Ginza Shokuin Ginza Shokuin Ginza Shokuin Ginza Shokuin 1", "Gin Ginza Shokuin Ginza Shokuin Ainame's illuminated taste is good (April 14, 1935), "Eating evening meals at Shibakuchi Tsukuda Shigeru (Kinbei). It feels like "I'm really good for the earth" (July 31, 1937), and the food that is eaten by the wind is common people.

 

In the first place, Kafu had little obsession with food to gastronomy Junichirou Tanizaki.

 

Tanizaki also has an eel shop called "Oguro-ya" on Konnyaku Island in "Hosonoyuki".

>・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ I hung up saying that I would like my sister to have lunch here and have come early, but Etsuko decided to leave it in spring and thought about where to eat slowly after a long time, and I remembered that she liked eel. In the past, I often went to an eel shop called Oguro-ya, a place called Konnyaku Island with my father, so when I asked if there is still a house, I wonder, Komanzu I've heard that, but the landlady gave me a telephone book, but I'm sure I've got it in the Oguroya, so I'm leaving it in the room.

(The current Shinkawa area was called Reigishima (Rei Itsukushima) during the Edo period, and the contracted site for the Reigishi Bridge was reclaimed during the Kyoho period, and Tomijimamachi 1-2-chome was 1845 (1845) It was established by land reclamation on the west side of the island, but the coastal area of Kamejima River was bad because the land was not well shoreclaimed.)

 

 Kitaoji Rosanjin said that in 1935, Komantsu, Takebatei, and Oguro-ya were listed as leading eel shops.
