Isn't there such a shrine near your neighborhood or office, small but relaxing if you go there?
In the Edo period, "Inari" was also mentioned as a representative of many things.
This is the second time in a series of shrines that are familiar to such local people.

Near the ward border with Chiyoda-ku, in the valley of the building, there is Ieuchiki Inari Shrine, like a city garden.

It seems to be familiar to local town councils, and it is very beautiful and elegant.

[JRT Felt] June 12, 2017 09:00

This time, we will introduce the select shop "MUCCO" in Ningyocho.

_MG_1922-02.jpg

 

This is a select shop run by Miyagi Co., Ltd., which sells stationery and office supplies, and the concept is based on the concept.

"A little gift to that important person."

The logo mark seems to be designed with the image of "connecting people".

 

No question. Thumbnail image of png

The shop has a glass-filled cash register floor, the first basement floor and the second floor, and the interior of the shop is bright and clean.

It is a company with a history of more than 100 years, and there is a place called Ningyocho, which is full of downtown atmosphere.

There are lots of wonderful miscellaneous goods that combine Japanese and Western!

There is no burden on the gift side or the recipient side, so that you can convey your feelings with something you can use everyday.

It's also nice to have a lot of reasonable products.

The recommended number one is "Ningyocho Handkerchief". A long-established store, famous store, and motifs in Ningyocho are embroidered one point.

There are 8 kinds of original handkerchiefs.

There are also a variety of gift cards and a lineup of pear bags!

The ↑ in the shape of a kimono is made of two large and small "Furoshiki". I'm surprised!

 

There are also small items using braids, chopsticks, and miscellaneous goods with wrestler designs.

We have a lineup of products for "Father's Day" on Sunday, June 18 and products that are perfect for the coming season!

You want to choose a product slowly while thinking of the person you want to give.

It is a shop that values conversation with customers, so if you are unsure about choosing a product, please consult us!

In addition to standard products, there are products that can be replaced every season, so it is a shop that wants to repeat many times.

 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Ayabe, the manager of the Ningyocho store "MUCCO" who responded and cooperated during the interview.

Thank you very much.
