Tokyo Tower Diamond Vere <Aqua Blue>

[Sam] June 5, 2017 18:00

R0035098RS'G.jpg The Tokyo Tower Diamond Vere is lit for a limited time on Saturday, where you can change the production every month and enjoy seasonal coloring.

On June 3rd, a clear blue diamond veil "Aqua Blue", which tells early summer, lights up.

Lighting time: 20:00~22:00 

From the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, you can see a fantastic glow of one blue color over the Tsukiji Market.

Aqua Blue also contains the message of "water and life."

On the first floor of the observatory, Milky Way Illumination, a fantastic summer tradition event that expresses "the night view of summer when Milky Way flows," will be lit on June 1st.

I hear that the upper and lower stairs connecting the Great observation deck and the earth are also "outer stairs of blue stars" and are open at night until 22:00.

 

 

Hakuza Nihonbashi Golden Sky HAKUZA NIHONBASHI

[Silver] June 5, 2017 14:00

 Hakuza is a gold leaf manufacturer with a head office in Kanazawa. There is a Tokyo store in Coredo Muromachi 1 in Nihonbashi, where I saw a number of products using gold leaf and purchased small gold leaf bottles.

 At the Nihonbashi store, there is a large "Kamakura-style" dome that is likely to be about 3 meters, using about 16,000 gold leaf.

Its name is "Golden Sky", and you can experience the glow of golden when you enter it. It seems that he was invited to the "golden tea room" that Hideyoshi built.

 In the shop's [Limited Time Items]
"Kin no Coffee Jelly", a collaboration between "Hakuza" and the long-established "Mikado Coffee" founded in Nihonbashi, is also sold at reasonable prices.

Please experience the original brilliance of gold leaf at the store.

The birthday cake is also wonderful! Hamacho "Snack Koboku"

[Edamame] June 5, 2017 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


June. That's the birth month of my daughter Azuki!

My mother twists her head to prepare to celebrate her two-year-old birthday.

Among them, I've always been pending ... cake!

There was a suspicion of tooth decay at a time (fortunately it was said that it was okay now)

I've shut out a sweet snack.

I'm 2 years old and I'm going to be okay. While thinking

But would that be better if you don't have to show something sweet? I was worried about it.


Meanwhile, during the other day's "Brother Tokyo Showroom correspondent-only visit party"

/archive/2017/05/post-4360.html

From a correspondent who is also a senior mom

"2 years old begins to remember.

It's better if you have a big cake and have a feeling of "congratulating me!"

That's right.

I decided to go to the cake shop.


Here's the destination.

DSC_1217-1.jpg

A delicious sweets shop close to my home

"Snack spill."

Like the owner's personality, it's small but warm.

It is a shop with a gentle atmosphere.

DSC_1219-1.jpg

Cakes such as banana tart, Gato Chocolat and baked cheesecake are also available.

There are also baked confectionery such as castella, financier, and cookies.

DSC_1218-1.jpg

All of them are delicious.

There are only things that seem to be okay to give small children a snack without extra mixing.

If you want Azuki to make a cake debut, here is it

I had been in my heart for a long time.

Moreover, if you were looking at the photos on HP

https://coboku.wixsite.com/coboku/oyatsu

It's not a cake full of fresh cream

There is also a birthday cake decorated with cookies on baked cheesecakes.

Is it okay to use "the first cake of a 2-year-old child"? I thought it was.


By the way, the birthday cake of baked cheesecake is 2000 yen.

Reservation order is available at the store at least 2 days in advance.

After all, it is a shop where the owner is alone.

You may not be able to order if it becomes "I can't get a reservation anymore".

If you know the schedule, we recommend early action!


Well, on the day.

When I went to pick up the cake I had booked after 5 o'clock in the evening,

All the sweets were sold out.

"I'm making more on Saturday than usual," he said.

After all, it's a popular restaurant.

And I received the finished product.

Birthday cake decorated with cherry and cookies on baked cheesecake.

I processed the photo a little (because it contains the real name of Azuki),

The cat's cookie in the middle has a name with chocolate.

It's cute! !


IMG_2733-1.jpg
The candles (two besides) that were attached at the shop

Set up a candle in the shape of "2" of the number you prepared yourself.

It was still difficult to blow it out by myself,

(For now, it's my own! I did it.

Parents and children will turn off the candlelight together and have it!

Cheese cake is not too sweet and you can feel the richness of the cheese.

The first cake, Azuki, was also eating Morimorimori.

And I also liked the decoration cookies.

I want to eat this! And he was always holding his finger.

The shape of the fish and cats is also cute.


I'd like you to make a wonderful birthday cake next year.

Is fresh cream a little ant next year?

From now on, I was looking forward to my 3rd birthday.

Hydrangea Garden in early summer 2017

[Sam] June 4, 2017 16:00

DSC00187ELS'.jpg 

DSC00175RS'G.jpg On June 2nd, "Early Summer Hydrangea Garden" started at "Royal Room" with terrace on the 10th floor of FANCL Ginza Square (Ginza 5).

Date: June 2-9 11:30-18:30

Hydrangea with various expressions.

Two years ago, "Dream Color Hydrangea", last year's unique "Autumn Hydrangea", this year's Japan Flower Selection "2012 Flower of the Year", and the original hydrangea "Kaleidoscope" bred by Shimane Agricultural Center appeared.

A variety named for Temari blooming, with a white cover on the edge of the petals (ornamental flower), emitting a glittering flower color like a kaleidoscope.

From June 4th to 7th, a gardening mini lesson "hydrangea and rose flower dome" is also scheduled to be held twice from 14:00 to 15:00.

In the garden of the sky in Ginza, you can meet the colors of soft and gentle colors.

 

 

The loquat that grows on Ginza Yanagi-dori St.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 4, 2017 14:00

I'm a little surprised when what I ate at my house the day before was "live" on "Ginza Street".

biwabi02.JPG

Along with the willow street trees on Ginza Yanagi-dori St., a lot of loquat nuts were growing on the loquat tree.

The map below, marked with a mark

It was a rose family, wasn't it?

Once again, when I look it up, the fragmented knowledge is connected, and it is strangely convinced.

biwabi03.JPG

The place of origin is southwestern China, many are cultivated as fruit trees, and the height is about 10 meters.

biwabi04.JPG

In Japan, since the fruit grows during the rainy season (just now), "loquat" and "loquat fruit" are seasonal words from Nakatsu (from the Takumi [around June 6] to the day before the small summer [around July 6]). It seems to be

biwabi05.JPG

Since ancient times, loquat seeds and leaves have been used for private therapy.

Speaking of which, there is loquat tea.

By the way, the loquat tree is also located along Shin-ohashi-dori St. and at Tsukiji River Park.

 

 

Tsukiji Fish Market

[CAM] June 4, 2017 09:00

 Recently, I've been busy with my personal affairs, and I've never been posting blog posts. I received an e-mail from an American woman who took care of me last year, and at the end of May, I was invited to visit Tsukiji Market again this year.

 

 The meeting is at the entrance of Tsukiji Honganji. First of all, look at the auditorium and restroom time.

After that, we toured a little inside the newly built Tsukiji Uogashi building.

In addition, after a little bit of an out-of-market market, we will go to the in-market market.

IMG_3456.JPGThe party then went from Tsukiji Market Station to Ryogoku Station. After lunch in both countries, they will see the sumo wrestling. I had a goodbye after seeing me off to Ryogoku Station.
