　On the right bank where the Sumida River Terrace and Chuo-ohashi Bridge intersect.

Edo-higan cherry tree is in bloom.

There is finally a sign of spring in the Sumida River, where the very cold wind is still blowing.

　The bright pink color makes Izu Peninsula imagine the cherry blossoms in full bloom in Kawazu.

It is said that Yoshino cherry tree will bloom in late March this year.

In the wet season, we have 30 days of patience.

　A three-year-old grandson asks with a cute eye, saying, "I want a stuffed penguin!"

I was asked where it was sold, and went on a field survey that Hakuhinkan was okay.

I purchased the Tokyo Olympic goods on display at the entrance of the first floor.

There were many kinds of stuffed animals I wanted on the 2nd floor.

　There was also something made of vinyl, and it was quite realistic.

　In addition, hand puppets that could be used for puppet shows were also sold.

　My taste is different from my wife's taste, so I was delighted if my wife bought and gave it.

China's "Kaminobushi" is the origin of the current Hina Festival.
It's said. What was eaten at this time
"Mochi dumplings" was a green dumpling using mother and child grass.

This is introduced to Japan.

In the Edo period, white rice cakes containing rhoshi fruit were added.
It was mixed with Japanese customs and added red after the Meiji era.
It seems to have become a three-colored Hishimochi.

Each color means health, longevity, amulet, etc.
It is included.
China's exorcism events are as the times go down.
I started to decorate and appreciate the dolls, but it was
There will be no change in the event to pray for your child's growth.

Enjoy the auspicious Hishimochi with delicious tasty.
I want to reach spring.

　Passing in front of Ginza Greeneville in Ginza 7-chome, a lot of trees were planted with komono. There was a green plastic fence around it.

　At the same time, I realized that this was a replacement for a new street tree. (I didn't get a pin right away.)

　The new street tree on Ginza Street is a tree called "Katsura".　Until now, shrubs called "yew" were planted.

I remember my friend's daughter said that the leaves of this "wig" are heart-shaped.

　In this Ginza, I hope that there will be a pure encounter like "Ginza of Two", and that a lot of happiness will be born like "Ginza's Love Story".

On the website of the Ginza Street Federation, we confirmed that this tree is a "wig".　Please refer to the website. http://www.ginza.jp/

　The early blooming "Okanzakura" on the Sumida River Terrace on the south side of Eitai Bridge Westfill blooms.

Okanzakura is said to be a hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry. The tree height is about 5 to 10 meters, the canopy is wide, the light red petals are large circular, and there are many fine cuts at the tip.

It is one of the representative cherry blossoms in early spring, also known as "Angyo Kanzakura", because it spread throughout the country from the logs in Angyo in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture.

Shinkawa Park (Shinkawa 2) Along with "Kawazu Sakura" on the northeast side of Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge, you can feel the early spring.

It is "Yabaton Tokyo Ginza Store", a miso cutlet specialty store that originated in Nagoya, which I have introduced on this blog before.

It is located at the intersection where Ginza 2-chome, Ginza Yanagi-dori St. hits Showa-dori.

Business hours are from 11:00 to 22:00.

It's miso hirekatsudon.

It comes with fresh cabbage (large serving), miso soup and incense.

The clerk puts the miso sauce in front of you on the finished bowl.

Both miso hirekatsudon and cabbage are full of volume.

The rice with miso sauce is also really delicious.

In other set meal menus, straw tonkatsu () set meal is popular with volumemy, and tonkatsu curry and shrimp fried set meal are also popular.

Anyway, it's hard for those who like miso cutlet. I recommend it.
