Limited product of Ginza Mitsukoshi of Juchheim D Meister
The Ginza Fruit Pudding Roll is affordable and very delicious!

　
The outside is made of crepe fabric, and the sponge is fluffy.
Because it's a pudding, it's not too sweet and not persistent.
If you're two, you'll really eat it.

　

　

It seems that it is limited to 10 on weekdays and 15 on Saturdays and Sundays.
It's weak for limited items (laughs).

"Residential Chuo-dori" is the border between "Irifune" and "Minato" in Chuo-ku, and also the street that passes through the center of "Akashicho".

"Residential land" refers to Tsukiji foreign settlement that was established around here at the beginning of the Meiji era.

The intersection where "Idomechi Chuo-dori" and "Idomechi-dori" intersect is the "Akashi Elementary School Intersection", and this intersection is composed of Akashi Elementary School, Catholic Tsukiji Church, St. Luke International Hospital, and St. Luke International Hospital Old Building.

Vivid pink, orange, and yellow flowers are blooming at the base of the street tree along Chuo-dori, a settlement north of the intersection in front of Akashi Elementary School (map above, pink b).

By the way, on both sides of this street, there are many monuments indicating that they are the birthplace of so-called mission schools.

The photo above is the monument of the birthplace of Xiaosei Gakuen.

The flower that blooms is Lantana. The Japanese name is Shichihenge (seven change).

It is an evergreen small shrub belonging to the genus Cychigenge, native to Central and South America.

It is said that the seven changes in the Japanese name are derived from the gradual change in the color of the flower.

The flowering time is long from May to November, and it continues to bloom.

By the end of this flower, it's almost winter.

 

 

Do you know the program called "Sabo Lehman Amatarou" broadcast late at night? It is a hot topic among sweets lovers now, and the original is a comic, Kabuki actor Matsuya Onoe dresses as a salesman, and works perfectly, but he likes sweets, so when he goes out for business, "Sabott" Sweets Shop, and the shops we pick up every time are real shops, regardless of Japanese and Western. The first one was "Hatsune". I knew it for the first time after a DVD was sent from Kabukimate living in Nara.

　

"Hatsune" is a long-established sweet shop that you don't need to introduce it anymore. It was founded in 1837 in the late Edo period (1837), the name of the shop "Hatsune" was taken from the "Hatsune drum" that appeared in "Yoshitsune Senbonzakura". I've been there several times in front of the store, but this is the first time I've bothered you. Expedition from Roppongi for dessert after lunch with friends of self-proclaimed "Anmitsu critic"! ? I did it. The inside of the store will be relieved in a Showa atmosphere. I found "Hiji Uji Azuki", which was at the beginning of the menu that planned to be "Anmitsu". "Is it the last year of this year?"

　

The shaved ice glass vessels are all felt in the early Showa era, and the Shiratama is in a separate small glass plate. The combination of dark matcha and the sweetness of azuki is exquisite and quickly in the sky. While talking, when I asked, "Is it white honey or black honey?" I was eating It seems that black honey is made from brown sugar from the Yaeyama Islands in Okinawa. We can't do two kinds of driftwood, so we have one piece with black honey. Even though I don't say anything, I was impressed by the fact that a small bowl and a spoon were attached. Customers are coming in one after another. Everyone seems to be familiar with the face, and I wonder if we've been watching TV dramas.

The travel style that has become a secret boom now is "a day trip around the local assembly on foot to dissolve the local assembly."

A professional guide and an exclusive lecturer will accompany you to tell you special stories and back stories from historic sites to the latest spots.

A variety of courses are set according to the theme, such as city walks, building tours, social studies tours, and history walks.

The ease of participation by hand is preferred, and major travel agencies are also planning many courses.

　

Chuo-ku is a convenient area for local gatherings because of its wide transportation network.

There are many shopping areas representing Tokyo, buildings designated as important cultural properties, and places that tell historical events within walking distance.

It is also attractive that there are long-established stores and famous stores that convey the taste of Edo.

It will satisfy the eyes and mouth of the participants, so you can have a fun tour.

　

The other day, I participated in the Nihonbashi Ningyocho course tour set up by a travel agency.

The main street walk is the local specialty meal and the story of a professional guide.

You're walking a good distance.

"Well, do you see such a view from this position?"

"Is the explanation board that I couldn't find easily here?"

Veteran guides will spotlight places where you usually pass by from a unique perspective.

He showed interesting views, from the cityscape, buildings, behind alleys, the activities of the residents, and blueprints of future development.

The next day, there's a lot of topics that I want to talk to someone.

If you know that some of the participants are interested in the old building, they will show you exquisite shooting points.

Since it was a tour of more than a dozen people, I was paying attention to the progress of all the participants and guided while choosing a place where the talk could pass.

　

When you become a sightseeing correspondent, you will also have the opportunity to guide you in Chuo-ku.

At that time, we will collect information in advance and conduct a preliminary survey of the site, and provide guidance on the actual production.

Seeing a professional guide right near is also an effective preparation.

If there is a method that you can use in professional technology, let's get it.

Thank you very much.

　

 

 

Chuo-ku has an area of about 10.1 square kilometers, which is called "a town full of charm that shines even if it is small."

　

Ota-ku, the largest of the 23 wards of Tokyo, is about 60.4 square kilometers, Setagaya-ku, the second place is about 58 square kilometers, and Adachi-ku, the third place is about 53.2 square kilometers, and the average of the 23 wards is about 26.9 square kilometers. Even in comparison, Chuo-ku is certainly small. (It is said that it is the 22nd smallest after Taito Ward. Is it me who think it would have been the smallest one to come here?)

　

It is often said that Tokyo Dome is ○ in comparison of size, but what happens when you compare this with Chuo-ku? The area of Tokyo Dome is 46,755 square meters, including the building area. In other words, Chuo-ku is equivalent to about 216 Tokyo Dome.

By the way, the largest municipality is Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, with a size of 2,177 square kilometers. This is about 216 pieces from Chuo-ku. Tokyo Dome x 216 = Chuo-ku x 216 = Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. It's just a coincidence, but it's a bit interesting.

　

Don't worry. Various festivals and sponsorship events will be held in Chuo-ku as October approaches when autumn is coming soon.

One of the things that surprised me to live in Chuo-ku is that there are many festivals and events anyway, for me who moved to several municipalities due to moving or relocating. For example, when I was a child who lived in Saitama, when I was a child, I only remember the summer festival at the end of July, so it's surprising that there are so many festivals with stalls.

I lived in Osaka City, the home of the Tenjin Festival, one of Japan's three major festivals, but there were not many festival events as one ward.

　

If you have a lot of effort or access to such an environment, I would like to go out every day and enjoy it to the fullest!

・・・ ・ While there are various indicators, if you say "the number of festivals per unit area", I think Chuo-ku is the best in Japan in local governments, but what about?
