[Showa Doritanken Record] #09: vegetarian sweets "AIN SOPH" (Ginza 4-chome)

[Dye] May 31, 2017 16:00

Last November, there was a shop with a nice atmosphere very close to Kabukiza.

     
This is "Ain Soph (AIN SOPH)".

    

s42_01.JPG

It is located along Showa-dori in the same block as Kabukiza Theater.

    

     

It is said that Ain Soph means "infinity". I wonder if the tree of life comes from.

We offer a complete vegan meal and sweets.

      

The Ginza store opened in 2009 and was reopened last November at the current store along Showa-dori. Sweets such as pudding, tiramisu, raisin sandwich are sold on the first floor, and meals are available on the second and fourth floors.

      

s42_02.JPG s42_03.JPG

There are also puddings and tiramisu ♡ Natural Granora.

      

      

       

I've been worried about it for half a year...
I finally got pudding and tiramisu.

It's cute because it's in a bottle. It seems that pudding uses kudzu.

      

      

I love sweets very much, but they usually have plenty of animal protein and sugar, such as fresh cream, and if you eat too much, you will also swallow a little guilty. 。 。 (´・ω・`)
...Yes! !Ain Soph's sweets are made from animal protein-free and made from domestic and pesticide-free ingredients, so it feels like incorporating the power of nature into the body.

      

     
And it's really delicious.

When you pass your throat, you can think of a high-quality kuzumochi for a moment....But surely vanilla fragrant pudding and rich and fragrant caramel are exquisite match. Well, I can't tell you well in words, so please eat it (laughs).


Don't you think it's unsatisfactory if it's not something animal?...The concern was completely unfounded.
Children can say "Eat Tanto ^^" with peace of mind! ! I can't do it often (^^;
In fact, my home Taro Masanao ate with Pakpaku in an instant.

     

       
Everybody has the power of infinite (Ain Soph), but natural ingredients may bring out it.
There is also a sense of luxury, and I think you will be pleased with souvenirs (` ・ ω ・ ')!
I recommend it.

Ginza Retro Gallery MUSEE "When weave the Time of Kenji Nonaka Exhibition"

[Mill] May 31, 2017 12:00

The event was held at Ginza Retro Gallery MUSEE in Ginza 1-chome from May 10 to 14.

We visited "When weave the time of Kenji Nonaka exhibition".


DSC_5751.JPG


Mr. Nonaka is a dyeing designer and creator.

Founder of Hata-Ryusha, Nishijin Misobo in Kyoto.


This was the first large-scale solo exhibition.


As a culmination of yourself, it seems that you have been preparing for a few years ago.

Unfortunately, in March this year, when the venue composition and work were finished, he died suddenly.

The exhibition was held in a way that took over Mr. Nonaka's will.

Even if the person's appearance is not present at the venue

From a number of beautiful works on display

Nonaka's personality, dyeing, weaving, and passion in the material seems to be transmitted.

I felt as if I was at the venue.




DSC_5761.JPG


The words of the theme of the exhibition were impressive.


 The beginning is a drop of drop


 It was a murmuring,

 Eventually, it will become a river.


 Create the earth, pour it into the ocean, and

 If you climb the sky, it will be a rain of grace.

 Return to the earth


 It begins to flow as a brighter new life


In line with words that hear the sound of Smetana's "Moldau" can be heard, Nonaka's world was developed throughout the first to third floors of Ginza Retro Gallery MUSEE.



DSC_5765.JPG

The color of Nishijin weaving, which is woven with pre-dyed yarn, is said to be life.


In order to create beautiful colors, the goodness of water is important, and Mr. Nonaka's feelings for thanking the existence of the water seemed to be transmitted.


The works born from the aesthetic sense cultivated in history and tradition had a very innocent and fresh impression.


The pure and mellow happiness filled the venue, and I felt again that something really beautiful was always mellow.





DSC_5741.JPG

An exhibition that combines kimono and obi with breathtaking beauty.


The exhibition method like an installation of contemporary art was very fresh, and I enjoyed the unique color matching unique to kimono.


While focusing on traditional manufacturing, Mr. Nonaka has been boldly innovating and continuing to play an active part in challenging completely new things.


I felt as if the entire exhibition taught me that it was possible to preserve tradition and pass it on to the next generation because it was constantly challenging and changing.



DSC_5747.JPG

During the exhibition, there were also events related to traditional Japanese culture by Gensho Umewaka, a Noh performer and an important intangible cultural property holder, Takaho Sasaoka of the former Sasaoka family, and Munei Kanazawa of the tea ceremony Urasenke body.


I participated for two days and was able to hear a lot of interesting stories.


Gensho Umewaka's lecture entitled "Nohmen and Tradition" includes talks about challenges to new things, such as performances overseas and co-starring with different cultures such as ballet, and valuable Noh masks brought. I was able to ask interesting stories.


At the talk show between Takaho Sasaoka and Munei Kanazawa, we were able to have a good time at the venue for the two people who spoke genuinely about the specialty fields of flower arrangement and tea ceremony without decorating.


At a workshop held by Mr. Sasaoka to live flowers in a small coffee cup, Mr. Sasaoka was impressed with the appearance of Mr. Sasaoka, who is using flowers to snuggle up with the feelings of the flowers.


In addition, Mr. Kanazawa's point, which was held on a different day, was also very popular with everyone.


A truly luxurious event by leading Japanese culture experts.

It was a very meaningful moment to feel the attitude of facing beauty with the obedientness like the flow of water, which is similar to Mr. Nonaka's work.

"Chirimen Crepe", which is said to have been named after the 11th Shogun Ienari Tokugawa, is known as the finest textile material.


Nonaka-san's Hata-ryusha brand, "Yuzuki", Nishijin's call, and fashionable denim kimono "Denimudosu" are also available at Ginza Mitsukoshi.

Correspondent-only tour "Brother Tokyo Showroom Visit Meeting"

[Edamame] May 31, 2017 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


But this time it's not an article with children.

With the cooperation of family members, it will be held on weekdays morning.

We have participated in a tour limited to correspondents of the tourist association.

Click here for the destination.

DSC_1186-1.jpg

Thank you for visiting the Brother Tokyo Showroom.

IMG_2729-1.jpg

The location is very close to Kyobashi.

It's next to Tokyo Square Garden.


First of all, I would like to talk about the history of the company.

(Because the head office is Nagoya, he came all the way from there. Thank you very much. 

IMG_2704-1.jpg

Brother, a sewing machine! It's an image.

The birth of a domestic sewing machine is from here.

However, the current company's mainstay is digital office equipment.

IMG_2707-1.jpg

It is necessary to make molds necessary for sewing machines.

What is it because I was able to use it to create detailed prints for typewriters.

Furthermore, the business development of the karaoke “JOYSOUND” developed from network technology.

IMG_2720-1.jpg

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be connected, but in fact, the roots of technology are the same.

I am looking forward to seeing how our business development will progress in the future.


What surprised me in the story was the color of Brother's printer.

It seems that they only make white or black.

The reason is "consideration for the environment."

The reason is that adding other colors = the hassle of painting = also leads to environmental impact.

IMG_2714-1.jpg

Certainly, our printer (made by Brother) is also white!

I thought it was simple and good.

For the first time, I learned that there was a reason.

Well, from here, the experience corner!

1: Embroidered with a sewing machine on the hand towel.

http://www.brother.co.jp/product/hsm/embropc/index.htm

・・・ This is a challenge for Edamame who has not used a sewing machine since home economics class in the first year of high school.

I thought it would be okay, but what is the current sewing machine?

It's all written on the machine with a number on where to put the thread ...

At the same time, the machine also does the needle through the thread ... ! !

In fact, the so-called "garden goods" when my daughter Azuki goes to kindergarten.

I heard rumors that they are often required to be handmade.

I was so clumsy that I was afraid two years away.

I think I can still do this! It's excellent enough to think for a moment.

It was fun to choose various patterns of embroidery.

(I would like to post a photo, but I made it with the "real name" of Azuki ... I'm sorry ((+_+)))

No. 2: Making a craft card.

Put a group photo of today's participants on a postcard.

Let's decorate it.

First of all, it's the appearance of label sealing equipment.

IMG_2716-01.jpg

http://www.brother.co.jp/product/labelwriter/index.htm

I think label stickers also have a strong image of "office supplies".

There's also a Disney mount.

There are a lot of things that are cute and want to use.

It is designed to print a lot of cute patterns even on the machine.

Recently, transparent bottles and storage cases sold at 100 yen shops have been sold.

It is said that the number of people who enjoy decoration and enjoy it is also increasing.

With the correspondents sitting on the same table

I was having fun working with you.


And here's what I was most surprised.

It's a machine called "Scan Cut".

IMG_2728-1.jpg

http://www.brother.co.jp/product/hsm/cm/product/index.htm

When I was a company employee, I wanted one in the office! !I thought it was a clumsy edamame.

(I was a clumsy person who was always having trouble decorating at the event.)

It is a cutting machine that allows you to cut paper and cloth into your favorite shape without using scissors or cutters.

There are many patterns built into machines.

If you specify "this shape in this size", it will cut it neatly.

Of course, you can also take in the illustrations and photos you wrote yourself with a scanner and cut them out.

Even if I'm clumsy ...

IMG_2730-1.jpg

It was so beautiful!

It was a really fun experience.

It was also a good opportunity to chat with other correspondents.

I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

Bried curry bread using Semorina wheat. Products limited to Kyobashi. It's a self-confidence bread.

Bread with crisp surface. Among them is butter chicken curry.

I'd like you to add the attached curry sauce to this, but this is a vegetable curry sauce that uses plenty of onions.

Please enjoy synergistic effect of different flavors of curry.

Bread with only soy milk

It is made only with soy milk and flour without using any water.

Since it is only soy milk, it is a very rich bread.

The interview date was May 19, but it was a product released from this day.

IMG_0399 (3). JPG

GINZA SIX has been bustling since its opening, but on the nearby Hanatsubaki-dori street, it is located nearby.

A statue of a ponytail girl with camellia "Hana" is quietly placed.

The origin of Hanatsubaki-dori is Izumo Tsubaki (Japanese camellia), which was contributed by Izumo in the early Showa era.

It was named because it was planted as a street tree.

IMG_0403.JPGIMG_0402 (1). JPGIMG_0401 (1). JPG

On the side and back of the girl statue, "Hana", donated by Masao Saito, Hiroyuki Mogi,

The plate of the origin of the installation is embedded.

In commemoration of the completion of the environmental improvement project promoted by the Ginza Hanatsubaki-dori Shopping Street Promotion Association with Chuo-ku, Tokyo

It is said that this statue was installed in March 1993 after the road nickname "Hanatsubaki-dori".

It is on the left side of the intersection of Chuo-dori and Hanatsubaki-dori toward Showa-dori.
