The HARIO Lampwork Factory on the first floor is made of glass handmade by craftsmen one by one.

This is a shop that displays and sells accessories.

 
The 2nd and 3rd floors are HARIO CAFE.
 
HARIO driped by the V60 Dripper, one of the main products of HARIO.

I've got some coffee. The creamer is a very small glass beaker.

The history and technology of HARIO, which began with the manufacture of glass for physics and chemistry, is here.

It's an interior unique to HARIO CAFE.

Ginza Sakura-dori St. is located in Ginza 1-chome and is a literal row of cherry blossom trees extending east and west along the Metropolitan Expressway.

This street is not as crowded as the main street in Ginza, but it is a fun street with antenna shops in Ibaraki and Fukui prefectures, as well as delicious bread shops.

gins201806.JPG

Yoshino cherry tree is now in full bloom on this street.

gins201807.JPG

However, what is often planted on this street is a variety called "Kanzan" of Yaezakura, which blooms later than Yoshino cherry tree.

gins201802.JPG

Kanzan is Yaezakura, which blooms from mid-April to early May, and the colors of flowers and buds are darker than Yoshino cherry tree.

gins201804.JPG

It seems that if there are many petals, it will exceed 50.

gins201803.JPG

It seems that the flower has a long period of time, so you can enjoy it for a long time.

gins201808.JPG

From Sotobori-dori St. side, walk along this Ginza Sakura-dori St. and reach Chuo-dori Street, you will reach the intersection of Ginza Street Exit right next to Kyobashi.

gins201812.JPG

At the main pillar of Kyobashi, "Yaebenishidarezakura" is planted, and this is also currently blooming.

gins201813.JPG

This is a little darker pink yaezakura than Yoshino cherry tree, and it is very beautiful with yellow green leaves of young leaves.

Genpei peach flowering

[Sam] March 28, 2018 16:00

DSC02199ELS'.jpgDSC02166RS''G.jpg This year, the kind of Hana peach "Genpei Momo", which has been improved for ornamental use, has been planted in the plaza in front of Aioi Bridge Minamizume, a complex at the southern end of Ishikawajima Park, blooms wonderfully.

The origin of the naming is that red and white (in addition, light red, spots / squeezing) blooms on a single tree, and the color of the Heike flag "Red" and the color of the Genji flag "White" fought in a mixed battle. It is said to have been parable in the Battle of Genpei.

It is said that the proportion of red, white, light red, spot and aperture flowers bloom in different aspects every year, and it is a natural phenomenon rich in mystery. Genpei peach with a glossy flower shape that shines in the deep blue sky and is a bit different from cherry blossoms. The season is full of spring.

 

 

Red sprouts [Benikanamochi]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 28, 2018 14:00

It is a season when the red color of the sprout of Benikamochi is beautiful.

beni201802.JPG

Every year, in the same season as the flowering of Yoshino cherry tree in spring, beautiful red color flutters in the wind.

beni201804.JPG

Benikanamochi is a variant of Kanamemochi, and the sprout of Kanamemochi itself is red, so it seems that it is easy to get confused, but among Kanamemochi, those with a particularly strong red sprout are distinguished as Benikanamochi.

beni201801.JPG

The photo was taken behind the Chuo-ku government office, or on the fence surrounding the front yard of the Kyobashi Library.

beni201803.JPG

This is also planted on the opposite side of the Metropolitan Expressway, which runs beside the Chuo-ku government office (Ginza Blossom side).

Yoshino cherry tree is in full bloom at once.

The background is the Yoshino cherry tree of Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park.
