Participate in the event of Ginza Familia!

[Pampon] March 5, 2018 16:00

Hello.

How are you all?Apple
 
In March, I would like to introduce a few of the events in Ginza Familia that I participated in.
In Familia, various events are held every month under the name of the 1000days program. It's a content that can be enjoyed both during pregnancy and during child care. ♪ Events are reserved from the website by reservation only. At the Ginza Main Store, I participated in events called "Making glass bottles that fill my memories" and "How to choose first shoes". In addition, I also enjoyed "first drawing" at other stores.
This photo is from the time I participated in "How to choose First Shoes".
IMG_6573.JPG
The clerk will explain carefully using the materials. It is also possible to measure the size and try on.
For those who have many opportunities to go to Ginza, we recommend the Familia event. It's also nice that it's held every month. I would like to participate in toilet training events in the future as my son grows up.
By the way, the event will be held on the second floor, but there is a photo booth on the first floor and you can take pictures with Fami-chan. The decoration changes every season, so you can enjoy shooting every season.

 Harumi Triton Plaza 2F, which was suspended during the cold season in January and February.

On March 1st, a mini-garden guided tour will take a walk around the park with the guidance of an exclusive gardener of "i green Pocket Plaza Hana, Water and Trees".

It was held for the first time in three months.

The maximum daytime temperature is 20.3 ° C, as warm as late April.

On the green terrace, you can see pheasant's eye and Setsubunsou suitable for this season. The small white flower sarcocococca, which is plain but fragrant on the flower terrace, is also impressive.

White flowers such as snowdrop, Christmas rose, habotan, and English daisy stand out. Kiltanthus is a humorous flower with an elongated tubular, slightly curved trumpet-shaped exotic feeling. In general, the number of flowers is still limited, but you can also enjoy Ginyo Acacia, Naniwazu, pansies, violas, stock, etc.

◆ The future seen from the Metropolitan Expressway Harumi Line

[Sumida Fireworks] March 5, 2018 12:00

The route between Toyosu and Harumi on the Metropolitan Expressway and Harumi Line will open on March 10 (Saturday). The other day, there was a walking event called "Harumi Line Skywalk" commemorating it, hosted by the Metropolitan Expressway, and I walked on the expressway before opening.

 

s_hanabi57-1.jpg 

The Metropolitan Expressway No. 10 Harumi Line. This road is a highway that branches off from Wangansen, and about nine years ago, the Shinonome Junction in Wangansen to Toyosu Entrance in Koto-ku was opened. With this opening, the road to Toyosu will be further extended, crossing the Harumi Canal, leading to Harumi Wharf in Chuo-ku.

 

s_hanabi57-2.jpg

(From the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway website)

 

On the Metropolitan Expressway, walking events are often held just before opening a new road. Once opened, you will not be able to walk, so I often participate in this event where you can experience valuable things.

 

 

From the new Harumi entrance, go out on a new road where the sun shines, and it is finally the start of a 1.8km round trip.

 

You go up the straight one-way, one-lane road, but on a very gentle uphill, you can walk slowly. Above all, there was a sense of liberation, and I had a feeling that I could walk very comfortably.

 

s_hanabi57-3.jpg 

As it is, we will cross the canal gently up toward Toyosu.

 

One reason why there is a sense of liberation is that tall streetlights are not made. The streetlights installed at intervals of several meters will illuminate the road from a low position.

 

s_hanabi57-4.jpg

 

As I proceeded, I gradually saw buildings in the direction of LaLaport in Toyosu, Koto-ku, on the left side of the bridge. It is a city that has been developed in recent years, but it feels like a very well-organized cityscape in terms of landscape.

 

s_hanabi57-5.jpg

 

Looking back a little, there was a retro bridge and a houseboat. If you look closely in the modern landscape, you can see that such a year-old landscape is embedded.

 

s_hanabi57-6.jpg 

I climbed a straight road, crossed the canal, and reached the sky above the Yurikamome line running over the overpass. The Metropolitan Taka Harumi Line has to overcome the elevated Yurikamome elevated road, so it is an even higher elevated road.

 

s_hanabi57-7.jpg

 

This "Yurikamome" is very popular with foreign tourists. It seems that this unmanned vehicle, which runs through modern buildings, overlaps with the vehicles of the future city that I have envisioned in my head.

 

 

By the way, the sky above Yurikamome is the turning point of today's walking.

 

Here, look back on the road that has just come and look at Harumi, Chuo-ku from a high place. Then a pleasant landscape spread out in front of me.

 

s_hanabi57-8.jpg 

This landscape is probably meaningful.

 

 

The Tokyo Olympics will begin two years later.

 

There is an athlete village at Harumi Wharf, and there are many competitions in this area. At that time, not only players, but also media from various countries and many tourists gathered in this Gulf region, and the city of the future city called "TOKYO" will be transmitted to the whole world.

 

You will probably use Wangansen to get from Haneda Airport or Narita Airport to Harumi's Athlete Village. Turn around the Shinonome Junction, climb up a gentle slope, and after Yurikamome, you can see your destination from a high place.

 

"A little more" to the athlete village. The future city of Harumi, Chuo-ku spreads out in front of you. 

 

s_hanabi57-9.jpg 

Tokyo welcomes people all over the world with this landscape of Harumi, Chuo-ku.

 

I think it's quite good, but I'm looking forward to seeing how foreign visitors can feel the city of "TOKYO" when they go down this slope.

 

s_hanabi57-10.jpg 

Freeway to Chuo-ku.

You can see the sky tree on the right.

The left is the Rainbow Bridge.

 

This road is a downhill like a runway that is as competitive as the scene of Yumin's song.

 

s_hanabi57-11.jpg 

After landing, turn left and right.

 

If you go straight, you will find the Japanese technology Kachidokibashi, Asian Tsukiji, the cultural architecture of Kabukiza, the luxury city of Ginza 4-chome. And it leads to the middle of Tokyo.

 

s_hanabi57-12.jpg 

The future of Tokyo, which will be built more and more in the neighborhood, including this road.

 

The Metropolitan Expressway Harumi Line is a road that will lead to Tokyo in the future.

 

Two years before the Tokyo Olympics.

I hope that it will be a wonderful future city that will be ready without delay and will be praised by the world.

 

 

 

[Yaesu] The hottest cheese takarbi Korean dish "Dokadoka"

[Ino-chan] March 5, 2018 09:00

 

Eat the Korean dish "Takkarubi" with sweet and spicy fried chicken and vegetables in hot cheese.

Cheese takarbi.

 

The popularity of the younger generation has been ignited, and it has become a trend award on the cooking recipe search site.

It is said to be the most popular dish in 2017.

 

This year, it appeared as a set menu of a major beef bowl chain and became a hot topic.

Recently, it has been seen at supermarkets and convenience stores, and it has become a major boom.

 

_DSC3089.JPG

One corner of Myondong, Seoul's largest downtown area, Seoul, the capital of Korea.

There are many shops in this neighborhood that offer cheese taccarbi now.

 

I want to eat the hot topic cheese takarbi in Chuo-ku!

 

So this time, I went to a Korean restaurant in Yaesu, Dokadoka.

The name of the shop is filled with the wish that customers will come somewhere.

I see.

 

3 minutes from Tokyo Station. It was located in a lively area where restaurants gather.

 

IMG_3284.JPG

 

All the tables on the second floor guided were dugout style. It is a space where you can relax with your friends.

 

IMG_3314.JPG

 

Then I would like to introduce cheese takarbi.

 

IMG_3302.JPG

Cheese tacalbi 1,380 yen per person (we can order from 2 people). The picture is for two people)

There are two colors of mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese from the foreground.

 

IMG_3310.JPG

The ingredients are cooked, so if the cheese looks like this, I'll go!

 

The spicy seasoning goes well with the thick and thick cheese.

The chopsticks did not stop at the appearance of today's leading role, and I quickly finished the meal.

 

On this day, the next table and the next table were ordered cheese tacalbi.

And I saw that everyone was eating deliciously

 

In addition to cheese taccarbi, I ordered kuppa for salad, namul and shime.

I enjoyed a lot of Korean food in the middle of Tokyo.

Night cherry blossoms at Sendai Bridge

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 4, 2018 18:00

yozak201801.JPG

It is a kawazu-zakura that blooms beside Sendai Bridge.

yozak201803.JPG

Usually, even in the daytime, Sakura, which blooms only one, is not so conscious of it, but kawazu-zakura, who saw it under the night sky completely unsettled, was so beautiful that I turned my camera unintentionally.

yozak201804.JPG

It is the red spot on the map below that blooms.

yuzak201800.jpg

Located near Tsukiji Market Station on the Toei Oedo Line, Chuo Market Street, which runs from Ginza to Tsukiji, is the base of Sendai Bridge, which crosses the Metropolitan Expressway.

yozak201806.jpg

Kawazuzakura is an early blooming cherry blossom that blooms around February. The flowers are pink or light red, and are characterized by their darker pink than Yoshino cherry tree.

The blooming period is also long.

It is said that the log was discovered in Kawazu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture, so it was named so.

yozak201805.JPG

The kawazu-zakura flowers blooming in the night sky, which left the blue, were very powerful and wonderful.
