Chuo-ku x Spain (1)-Food and Architecture-

[Hanes] Nov. 5, 2018 18:00


Good evening. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
There are many shops in Chuo-ku that serve overseas dishes.
Do you have any favorite shops?
Personally, I miss the Spanish food that my host mother sometimes cooks.
I often go to a Spanish restaurant in search of Paerilla or Tapas.

The other day, I had a paerilla lunch at LA BODEGA on the 10th floor of Tokyu Plaza.

It was the decisive factor to choose this one among the many Spanish restaurants.
It means that you can enjoy "seafood and sea urchin, Iberico pork MIX Paerilla" limited to Ginza store!
There seems to be no luxury paella with sea urchins.

Because it is lunchtime on holidays, the stylish interior of the shop is almost full.
I'm glad that there are counter seats that are easy for one person to use.

In addition to tapas, there are plenty of Spanish wines, so you can enjoy an adult dinner.

The tapas we had at this lunch is a tortilla of vegetable terrine, lentil beans, and potatoes from the left.
All had a modest taste that complemented the main paella, and the quantity was just right.

And the paerilla, who came out with fullness, is the ultimate of luxury
There are so many kinds of seafood and Iberico pork generously.
With the addition of sea urchin, it has a very rich finish....
As you can see, there was a response to eating, and it was a very satisfying lunch.

Why don't you take a look when you want to eat Spanish food in Ginza?

On the other hand, "I wish I could easily enjoy the tastes of various Spanish restaurants in Ginza....It is possible to fulfill the wishes of those who think.
"Ginbar" is a project that is held regularly in Ginza and allows you to enjoy Spanish cuisine and sake at an affordable price.
The next event is as follows.

Silver Bar Vol.4 ~ Autumn Mushroom Festival ~ Spanish trip starting from Chuo-dori
Date and time: From 17:00 on November 12, 2018 (Mon) to 24:00 on 18th (Sun)

You can enjoy Spanish cuisine at a great price, and if you find your favorite restaurant, it's two birds with one stone.

And besides such Spanish cuisine, there is a relationship between Chuo-ku and Spain.
One of them is the brick-colored building with a presence that catches your eye while walking in Ginza.

Yes, it's the Shiseido Building where Shiseido Parlour is located.
I guess there are many people who are a little surprised at this.

This is designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofil, and was completed in 2001 as the Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building.
He is also designing buildings in Tokyo and its suburbs.

When it comes to design, the influence unique to Spain is not apparent, but it is not apparent.
Chuo-ku is home to many exchanges with countries around the world.Airplane
Interestingly, it also applies to a period of about 400 years back.
This will be introduced in "Chuo-ku x Spain (2)-Nihonbashi seen by Rodrigo-".
