Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

　

Actually, my friend from middle and high school was working in my neighbourhood.

So when she's not busy with her work, she sometimes has lunch together.

That's why I've had lunch with her today as well.

The location is on the first floor of the Royal Park Hotel.

It's "Chef's Dining Symphony"!

Actually, the coffee shop was renewed this March, right?

At that time, I was looking at a flyer and thinking I wanted to go someday.

I'm looking for a lunch buffet! (3,564 yen (including tax and service charges))

It's exciting for some reason to have a buffet.

I can't eat as much as I was a student because I'm not young anymore.

It's fun to have a lot of things.

That's why I came to the hotel lobby.

This atmosphere is gorgeous, isn't it?

But... just today

Dango rather than flowers!

Rather, meat!

It's the flower of the lunch buffet.

It was a soft and delicious steak.

The sauce on the sauce is exactly the taste of the hotel.

And this is the dish of the 1-year-old daughter, Azuki.

The good thing about the buffet is before the rice comes out.

I don't have to wait for time.

It is safe to give a small child a meal right away.

(If you wait too much when you are too hungry ... it will be a riot.)

What's your favorite of Azuki?

・Sandwich (Ham Cheese & Potato Salada)

・Spanish-style omelet

I did it.

The sandwich is large enough for small children to hold.

I think it was very easy to eat.

Azuki, who is just practicing fork, has Spanish style omelet

Great size and hardness to eat with a fork yourself.

I was flattened at a faster speed than usual.

In addition, the white fish seemed to be moist and soft and easy to eat.

Vegetables are also tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

There was something that was easy for even small children to eat, so I ate it.

・・・ I was surprised that my friend said, "Azuki-chan, I eat well!" (laughs).

And speaking of a buffet ...

Delicious cake!

I'm happy to be able to eat a lot little by little! That's right.

In addition, fruit jelly, mousse, etc.

There were a lot of things.

That's right. The banana caramelize was delicious!

Simple, warm bananas and apples are made of caramel ...

It was a gentle sweetness that made me happy.

(And forget to take a picture of it. 。 。）

I want to conquer all of them.

The limit of the stomach is

Let's go on again.

There's still a lot of talk with friends ...

It's a hotel right next to Suitengu Shrine, so it's very smooth and smart.

After all, it's safe.

By the way, this time, Azuki used a high chair (so-called children's chair).

You can leave it as a stroller.

There is also a hotel-made cake counter next to the checkout counter.

Among them, I was worried about it.

"Tsuboyaki Honey Pudding" (1620 yen)!

The bowl is cute and has an impact in size.

Someday, when I take my chase somewhere

I thought I wanted to use it.

The cherry blossoms have passed, and the cold season has finally ended.

And he said...It is the opening of the Edo boating tour season, "Touring around the water city, Tokyo by boat"!

Edo is a water city and a prosperous town based on logistics by waterways. Currently, there are many major roads in Tokyo that were originally waterways. And in Chuo-ku, there are a number of active waterways, led by the Sumida River and Nihonbashi River. Let's go around there by boat! That's a boating tour. It's not just a boat play, but a journey through the Balibari arterial road where trade boats come and go until a little more than 100 years ago, the waterway that was the gateway. In addition to the remnants of Edo, there are many remains where the gorgeous Meiji Taisho era remains. You can see Are and Chore, which can not be seen from the ground, along with the guide's explanation.

Is there anyone who knows where it is here?...！？ (The hint is the site of a certain subway.)

Of course, I also go around the hot places now.

In Tsukiji Market...

Toyosu planned site!

There are various types of tours, so you can choose what place, how much time, and how deep you want to see according to your preference. Each tour has a professional guide, so it's very interesting.

You can also see landfills under construction in Tokyo Bay.

The boating tour is not held in winter, so the next few months will be the on-season. At that time, a wide variety of tours are held. For more information, please visit our website.

→The Association for the Creation of Water City Tokyo

When you look at Tokyo in Heisei from a spacious waterway, you can see a completely different figure. I think you can also experience the people and things from Edo to the pre-war period, the flow of culture, and how to connect with neighboring areas such as Asakusa.

It is a very fulfilling event, so please come and visit Chuo-ku from the waterway in the coming warm season.

By the way...

This is for those who say, "I like bridges rather than rivers!"

"Bridge Pocket Map" edited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction. It is a wonderful book that covers major rivers and bridges in Tokyo.

It's like this when you open the inside.

Each one is pocket-sized, 5 books in total. The price of the box set that contains all is 800 yen. It is also sold at the Kachidokibashi Museum, located at the base of Kachidokibashi. I don't really recommend these maps.

 

 

This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as mode.

　

GINZA HAKKO Kinoka, the first time I introduced the shop.

The shop, 1st floor, handles various wooden crafts such as Russian folk art Matryoshka and woodwork miscellaneous goods.

The first basement floor, which runs from the store, is a space related to classrooms and exhibitions.

In the second time, we introduced Dr. Yuri Takeichi's "Matryoshka Classroom".

　

This time, I would like to introduce some other classrooms.

Mr. Kato, manager of GINZA HAKKO Kino, gave permission for articles and images.

Because it is photographed through the glass surface, it is not beautiful. The real thing is more delicate.

I explained it last time. The temperature setting is 10 levels, and the tip of the pen can be replaced with 4 patterns in thickness.

So you can make full use of the wood burning technique. Carving art is also as expected.

Was there a child, grandchild, or great-grandchild near me? Or I wonder if he was a grandson.

I've been sitting for a long time~ How long should I sit?

But I can't get old at all, how many have I become?

　

I'm a lion statue of Mitsukoshi.

　

The photo shows the front entrance of Ginza Mitsukoshi. The statue was born in 1914 when it was set up in front of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

The lion statue was ordered by U.K. when the manager of the time, Ousuke Hibi, visited Europe and the United States to open a department store.

It took 3 years to complete. It seems that there is a wish that Mitsukoshi will reign in the department store industry like the King Lion of Beasts.

The lion statue at the head office is 102 years old. This is a lion statue of Ginza Mitsukoshi. I was born in 1972 and is 45 years old. I think it's probably a child or a grandchild who is beside him.

　

I'll welcome you to Mitsukoshi.

Please come by all means. I'll be waiting for you.

 

 

Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park is located next to Kamei Bridge, which spans Tsukiji 1-chome, the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway.

Fuji of the wisteria trellis in this park is currently blooming mauve flowers.

Here, the flowers of perennial plant in Pele Near Garden will entertain us all year round, but after the cherry blossom season is over, the wisteria trellis in the same park will bloom.

By the way, there are two types of wisteria: a right winding (clockwise clockwise from the top) and a left winding. The standard Japanese name of Fuji in the right winding is "Fuji" or "Noda Fuji", and the standard Japanese name of the left winding is "Yamafuji" or "Nofuji".

Fuji in this park was labeled as Noda Fuji.

Fuji's Hanabusa sways in the refreshing breeze, and it's a really good season.

 

 

　The "Ginza willow Festival" is celebrating its 11th anniversary this year and will be held on May 5 at Nishi Ginza Street.

Walking around the city of Ginza, seeing the flag of the announcement, my heart is excited and I can't wait.

　It's one of the events I'm looking forward to every year.

Last year, 2016. It was very fun.
