Do you know "Sashicho-san"? Marunaka Corporation

1. February 26, 2017 09:00

Recommended for those who say "the toes are long and ordinary tabi have tight fingers." It is not used in large quantities like those who do arts, so it is suitable for those who take a foot mold at a tabi specialty store and order it. It seems that "finger length tabi" has been around for a long time, but recently demand has increased rapidly for young people and foreigners. While walking around the wholesaler street in Yokoyamacho, I found a shop with lots of tabi. When asked, "Is it retailing also done?" I asked you with confidence with the answer "Of course!" I asked for a cute "Sashicho" immediately. It seems to be "making only the toe part 5mm longer with normal size". In addition, it's a wholesaler, so it's a bargain that surprises you than the usual selling price. It was a kimono shop, but there were plenty of accessories, and when I asked to pick up "Sashicho-san", I had this and smiled unintentionally. Of course, thanks to Mr. Sashicho, he was released from many years of pain in his fingers. It is a really recommended shop for those who are wearing kimonos.

Popular Italian from Tsukiji ★Paradizo

[Mapo ★] February 25, 2017 14:00

A popular Italian restaurant in Tsukiji, located in a corner outside Tsukiji Market!
When I called around 11 o'clock to make a reservation from 12:30.
It seems that today's reservation has been completed, and it will be put in the shop if they are arranged.
When I went to the shop around 12:30, I found myself on the paper on the outside.
A considerable number of names were written.

I'll write your phone number.
I think you can call me when I'm called.
The people who were there were more priority.
After all, I had to wait in front of the store. 。 。

 
And it was half past 1:30 to enter the shop!
You can choose from 4 types of pasta for lunch menu.
I ordered Kintoki and Agu sauce spaghetti.
There is also a volumey salad, so 980 yen is a great deal!

Spaghetti was also rich and delicious (*^^*)

Cold scarlet cherry blossoms bloom

[Sam] February 25, 2017 09:00

DSC03726RS'G.jpg "Kanhizakura (Kanhizakura)" planted on the "Sakura promenade" along Harumi Triton Square and the Asashio Canal is beginning to bloom.

Also known as "Hikanzakura (Hikanzakura)".

At once Japanese white-eye is coming to suck the nectar.

It is a warm-area cherry tree native to Taiwan and southern China. Along with its characteristic flower color and flower appearance, it is very noticeable because it blooms ahead of ordinary cherry blossoms in early spring, still cold.

The flower color is bright scarlet. The calyx tube and the sepals are the same color, do not open flat, and are bell-shaped, with a bird-like flower.

Even when scattered, the petals do not flutter like Yoshino cherry tree, and the flowers fall down.

The flower language of Kanhizakura, which blooms dignifiedly under the cold sky, is "Glossy Beauty".

I don't lose in terms of fancy, even if I give it one step to Yoshino cherry tree.

Estimated estimates show that if employees of major domestic companies and small and medium-sized enterprises finish their work at 3:00 pm and consume shopping, travel, entertainment, etc., consumption will be about 123 billion yen per day, It is estimated that the scale will be comparable to the size of the Halloween market.
