Shiseido Parlour Ginza Main Store Salon de Cafe, from June 1st (Friday), "Crown Melon" from Shizuoka Prefecture, and parfaits that use this luxuriously have appeared.

We are particular about cutting and combinations of ingredients so that you can enjoy the juicy and melting texture and rich aroma in various forms.

By cutting it round, it is tailored so that you can feel the mariage with traditional vanilla ice cream and matcha sauce as well as the original luxurious taste of Crown Melon.

The small melon made of thin baked cookies is also cute.

As expected, this is Shiseido Parlour Salon de Cafe.

　

This time, I would like to introduce 3 items.

　

This time, we also took care of Mr. Kotsugai, a public relations group of Shiseido Co., Ltd.

Then I would like to introduce some items.

※　The words in blue are explained at the bottom.

1,980 yen (tax included) of Crown Melon from the Fukuroi district of Shizuoka Prefecture

It is a gem parfait that luxuriously uses "crow melon", which is called the king of maskmelon, in styles such as fresh Sorbe Puree Jelly.

From the melting and fresh pulp, the rich aroma and rich sweetness spread abundantly, and the scent of melon spreads throughout the mouth.

In addition, if you apply a separate matcha sauce using Shizuoka Prefecture's "the sound of fog", it will give you a crisp astringency and become a parfait that you can enjoy twice with one.

The cute appearance also accentuates the sweetness.

Babaroa (with coffee or tea) of Yubari melon from Hokkaido 1,980 yen (tax included)

※　This item will be available from the beginning of June.

Yubari melon mousse is combined with refreshing yogurt palfe, and a cute melon is imagined.

It's a cute and cool dish.

The sweet and sour American cherry compote and sauce in the mousse accentuates the taste.

Please take this product with jelly of sauce made by boiling fruit and pleasant meringue with pleasant texture.

Ice cream soda of Crown Melon from the Fukuroi district of Shizuoka Prefecture 1,130 yen (tax included)

It is finished with the syrup of the crown melon in season.

The supreme cup with a rich sweetness is exquisite.

　

・・・ Please enjoy the refreshing and cute limited dessert unique to this season in Ginza.

　　　The taste and aroma are wonderful, but every item is Instagrammable.

Rosemari's Sweets Glossary　　　　　　

※　It depends on the interpretation of Rosmali.

　

Sorbe

（sorbet） French.

An ice confection made by adding liquor such as juice, syrup, liqueur and champagne. It is made soft.

On the other hand, English sherbet is made using not only juice and syrup but also milk, egg white and gelatin.

Originally Italian gelato is made from flesh, milk, sugar, coffee, mint, lemon, and other flavorful ingredients. It looks colorful.

French flappees are made of finely crushed ice and sprinkled with Western sake or syrup.

The French Granite means "roughly" and is close to the flappe.

Western sake such as liqueur, fruits, vegetables, etc. are also used.

　

Puree

（purēe） French.

Smoothed by grinding and lining.

The paste was made by grinding.

In some cases, tomato paste is boiled down and concentrated.

　

Palfe

(parfait) French. In English, perfect.

It means a "complete" sweet made of fresh cream and ice cream together.

By the way, the parfait is Japanese-style.

Sundae is a sweets born in the United States that can be eaten on the Sabbath Day.

　

Comport

(compote) French.

Fruits are boiled in syrup.

Jam is made by adding sugar to fruit and boiled so as not to burn. Preserved food. English.

Confiture is made by boiling the fruit with syrup so that it is not scorched. Preserved food. French. It's very close to jam.

Don't boil down the compote. It doesn't contain much sugar as jam or confiture, so it doesn't become a preserved food.

　

Meringue

(meringue) English. It's the same spelling in French, but reading is uneven.

It is made by adding sugar in the egg white.

It is also called meringue, which is dried and baked.

　

Syrup

（sirop） French. The reading is "Shiro." By the way, siroop in Dutch and syrup in English.

The sugar is dissolved in water and boiled down.

Or, it is added with flavor.

　

 

 

I would like to introduce a walk course that goes a little far from Harumi Kachidoki.

　

　From Kachidoki Station, go south on Harumi-dori St. From Harumi Triton Square, cross the Harumi Sanchome intersection and turn left. (This street that turns left is also Harumi-dori St..)

　　

If you proceed as it is, go to "Art Harumi" and turn right at the intersection. When you cross the Harumi Bridge, a large red and black bridge is on your right. This bridge is a bridge with a track that was used at the shipyard of the former Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries. If you look through the balustrade, the Rainbow Bridge is far ahead of the canal.

　　　

This is Harumibashi Park. When you walk while looking at the flower bed, the surface of the canal is on your right. The crane's monument is red and beautiful. This is the Urban Gate Bridge. It opens like the old Kachidokibashi when the ship enters and exits. It's full of runners and dog walkers early in the morning. I'm surprised that this is the city center.

　　　

There are many things to see. Next month.

Kachidoki Station → Harumi Triton Square → 3, Harumi Intersection → Art Harumi → Harumi Bridge → The Urban Gate Bridge continues.

　　　

Kachidoki Station → Harumi Triton Square → 3, Harumi Intersection → Harumi Ohashi → Shin-Toyosu Station → Turn left → Housing Exhibition Hall → Gas Science Museum

 

 

Hello!　Today, I would like to introduce some of the alleys that remain in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

　

Speaking of Nihonbashi Muromachi, I think the image of "Chuo-dori" is strong.

This is the main street representing Edo and Tokyo since the Edo period.
Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and Mitsui Main Building (both nationally designated important cultural properties), various long-established stores, etc.
Recently, many local antenna shops are also highlighting.

　

When you enter the east side from this "Chuo-dori"
There are many old alleys left from Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome to Nihonbashi Honmachi 1-chome.

(In preparing this map, with the approval of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, we used basic map information issued by the House. (Approval No. 30, No. 225)

The road colored red on the map above becomes the alley.

In many areas of Chuo-ku, reconstruction projects after the Great Kanto Earthquake have developed wide streets and plots, which are the basis of the current city.

If the inside of the block was made up of small houses, a narrow alley (private road) was drawn into the site and it seemed to be an access route to each.

It seems that the urban structure of Edo townspeople's land was in the form of entering an alley from the shops facing the main street and connecting to a back tenement house.

In a sense, the same structure may have been handed down during the modernization of reconstruction after the earthquake.

After that, despite changes in various situations such as war disasters, high economic growth, and recent urban regeneration, they still remain.

　

It is one of the alleys of Muromachi. Instead of Chuo-dori, it has a cityscape with a sense of life.

　

Where the main street is rebuilt into a building, it feels as if you were exploring in the dark.

　

There are many places where plants are placed at the eaves, which delights the eyes.

　

It's a little maniac point of view....

One of the characteristics of the alleys around Nihonbashi is that the drain is located in the middle of the road.

On general roads, drains are provided on both sides of the road, taking into account the passage of vehicles.

Here, the middle of the road becomes a hollow, and water gathers.

It is said that Edo had a sewerage system that drains rainwater and domestic wastewater from that time.

In the alley between the tenement houses, the waterway was flowing in the middle of the road.

Perhaps the drainage ditch in the alleys of Nihonbashi can be said to be a remnant of the sewerage system in the Edo period.

　

Along many alleys, there are various stores, mainly restaurants.
I'm looking forward to finding a hidden famous store.

　

Some of them are always lined up, such as "Kanenosuke Kaneko" in the photo.

　

In writing this article, I walked through the alleys of Muromachi 1-chome to Honmachi 1-chome.

It is also attractive that each alley has a different atmosphere.

I was able to enjoy Nihonbashi even more deeply.

　From June 6 (Wed) to 10 (Sun), 2018, the main festival of the Tsukiji Lion Festival will be held once every three years.

　We are looking forward to the tour of Miya portable shrine, male and female lions, but in 2018 we can see even more special events and it will be very exciting!

Male lion

Female lion

　What!　"Miya portable shrine's Ship imperial procession", which was held during the Edo period and has been discontinued until now, is restored! I do it.

Oh, imperial procession under Tsukiji Ohashi...I'd like to see it.....

　On the afternoon of June 8 (Fri.), imperial procession, carrying Miya portable shrine on board.

　Please note that the tour schedule and route are posted on the special website.

　It seems that a TV broadcast is also planned.

On a sunny day near the rainy season, tachiaoi is blooming in the planting space along Tepposu Street.

Tachiaoi (Tachiai) is a perennial plant of the Aoi family, and the Greek word "althaia", which is the etymology of the genus name, is related to "althaino" (treatment), and since ancient times, Tachiaoi has been used as a medicinal herb.

It is said that it has long been introduced to Japan as a medicinal product.

The pink and red flowers were blooming, especially the pink flowers were large.

It seems that various varieties have been improved for horticulture.

Just like the beginning of the rainy season and the end of the flowering season with the end of the rainy season, it seems that there is also another name called "Tsuyuaoi ( rainy season Aoi)".

It is said that it is called kokekokko flower in a part of Hokkaido and kokekko flower in a part of Aomori prefecture. This is due to the fact that you can play by imitating chicken by attaching a pulled petals to your face etc. ().

It's finally the rainy season.

 

 

This is the rosemary sea, covering "gifts and I enjoy myself" in ultra-modern.

Kokubun Group Headquarters Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chuo-ku, and Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. (hereinafter Nikkei) developed in cooperation with Mirai Shopping, a purchase-type crowdfunding site “Food and Sake Future Kansho (Miraitsubo) was opened on May 22 (Tuesday).

It is said that the project of food and alcoholic beverages will be published.

In other words, we plan projects such as carefully selected foods, alcoholic beverages, and hands-on services from all over the country and around the world, and seek support from Nikkei ID holders such as "Nikkei Electronic Version" and "NIKKEI STYLE" through "Future Shopping".

In the future, a project related to alcoholic beverage sales in "Future Shopping" will be drafted through the "Future Bank of Food and Sake".

This means that new market opportunities have been opened.

What is Crowdfunding?

The origin of the word is the crowd + funding.

A method in which a drafter with ideas or projects such as "I want to create or sell such things or services" or "I want to do something like this" calls through a dedicated Internet site and raises funds.

It was first launched by a private company in the United States in 2009, and it was launched in Japan in 2011.

However, in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake that happened that year, it spread rapidly in the form of financing for reconstruction projects in the affected areas.

The market is expected to expand further in the future.

　

In fact, even before the Kamakura period in Japan, there seems to have been a foundation for collecting donations from volunteers for the restoration and reconstruction of temples in the form of "Kanjin".

After the repair, the name of the donor is listed on the temple, is this one return?

　

There are two types of crowdfunding: "donation type", "investment type", "financing type", and "purchase type".

In particular, "purchase-type" has been growing rapidly.

This time, Mr. Kokubu's crowdfunding is "purchase type".

In addition, it is said that the project types are "goal achievement type (all-or-anashi type)" and "execution type (direct challenge type)".

　

What is the target achievement type?

It will be established when the funding reaches the target amount.

If the target amount is not reached, the project will not be established and the funding will be cancelled.

It's a good way to make it widely known to those who are interested.

　

The execution achievement type is ...

It is established when it is posted on this site.

In other words, even if the target amount is not reached, transactions made by the deadline are still established.

As a limited quantity product sales channel, I think it is the best means for both sellers and buyers.

　

“Future Shopping”...

A purchase-type crowdfunding site operated by Nikkei.

This service was launched on November 24, 2016.

We support a variety of projects that utilize test marketing of major companies, innovation of venture companies, excellent technologies scattered in rural areas, and traditional industrial technologies that should be passed on to the next generation.

③Introducing the fruit liqueur "Amule (Amule)".

In 1751, we launched four types of liqueurs jointly developed with Hakuro Sake Brewery in sake brewery, Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, and Genno Sake Co., Ltd. in Niigata City.

Ume, peach, white grape (shardonne), and yuzu. It looks beautiful. It looks great on Instagram.

It is said that "sake that loves sake" that both women and those who are not good at sake can enjoy and drink.

Regarding future drafts ...

He said he would like to come up with highly rare products such as limited items, targeting malt and wine locally brewed sake barrel sales, Western liquor seminars at restaurants in Tokyo, and developing products by Mr. Kokubu's Area Company.

　

・・・ In the future, attractive products and services will be lined up here. It's great.
