[Silver] July 14, 2016 14:00

Did you know that there is a bowl that grows lotus on the right hand side of main hall in Tsukiji Honganji?

On the afternoon of July 12, one of the many pots, "Seiryokuren" flowers were blooming.

This is the flower around 8 o'clock on July thirteenth. It seems that the flowers will end in two days.

There is also a lotus bowl on the right side of the restaurant "Shimizu", but this did not have any buds yet.

In this hot season, shaved ice. There are three types: "Berry fluffy shaved ice", "Mango fluffy shaved ice", and "matcha fluffy shaved ice". The price is 500 yen each, and it is Gassho.

Please enjoy lotus flowers and shaved ice when you visit in the future.

 (Actually, there was "Suifuyo" in Chozubachi on the right hand right after entering the gate, but before I saw it for a while, I went somewhere.)
