Preserved flower specialty store ★Bell Fleur Ginza Main Store

[Map★] 12:00 on December 18, 2018

It is said that it is the first specialty store in Japan.
And Miss Chuo, organized by the Tourism Association in Chuo-ku
It seems that the flowers are also handled by this shop.

 

bf2.jpg

 

What I particularly noticed was the Buddha flower.
After my father died, I returned to my home where no one was there for the first time in a few months.
The Buddha flower is always dead and it is very dirty.
I once bought a flower of artificial flowers.

 

bf4.jpg

 

The Buddha flower is in a transparent condition.
It's getting fashionable.
This will remain beautiful for years,
I thought it would be good for Buddhist memorial service and offerings to loved ones.
It is likely that demand will increase from now on.

 

Another thing that bothers me is the watch!
Rose priza with slightly different colors around the clock
It's very nice to see it.

 

bf6.jpg

 

It looks good for wedding celebrations,
At a very big milestone on wedding anniversary
I thought I wanted it for myself.

 

bf5.jpg

 

And at this time, the interior of the store is very gorgeous with Christmas Priza.
The New Year's Priza was also elegant and very fashionable.
Schools and hands-on lessons are also held on the second floor.

I visited the shop twice to write this article,
I have had a male customer twice,
I was talking to the shop.
It's a gift (* ^^*)

The famous restaurant of Ningyocho and Edomae Western cuisine "Homitei" reopened on December 17 (Monday)!

[Edamame] 09:00 on December 18, 2018

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


Recently, I have been worried about every time I walk around Ningyocho and amazake Yokocho neighborhoods.

Yes. A red brick exterior building is located just outside the entrance of amazake Yokocho

I was finally seeing him coming out.

That's ...

Appearance - 1.jpg

Founded in 1933 in Ningyocho, it is a famous restaurant for 'Edomae Western cuisine'.

It was a new store of Hamitei.

I used to enter amazake Yokocho a little while ago

This time, the store has been relocated and reopened.

The official opening will be on December 17th (Monday).

I had the opportunity to invite you to the "Interview" held before that.

And...Is it okay to have children?

Please accept it.

I went out to amazake Yokocho in the evening with my daughter Azuki (3 years old).
15520-1.jpg

 

The new store is on the 1st to 3rd floors, but this time we visited the seats on the 2nd floor.

15525-1.jpg

The retro atmosphere is very nice!

15524-1.jpg

And what is displayed on the wall is "the scenery of the old Ningyocho".

It is described as "Ningyocho Museum" on the store website.

There are some things that convey the atmosphere of Ningyocho, which was a flower district.

It's all the pictures I want to enjoy.

Looking out of the window

15527-1.jpg

In front of you is amazake Yokocho.

"Morinoen" famous for hoji tea and "Futaba" famous for tofu are in front of you.


 

Also, Edamame, a child with a child, was relieved.

15522-1.jpg

There is a proper chair for children.

It is also a type with a fastener for guards.

It's okay if a child smaller than a 3-year-old azuki was together.

And

15526-1.jpg

Along with adult dishes (although this is also a nice cutlery)

15523-1.jpg

Spoons and forks for children were also available.

If you prepare this enough, it is safe to eat with children.

 

In the meantime,

A number of dishes boasted by Hamitei came to the table.

First of all, this big classic menu, "Beef Stu"

Beef Stew -1.jpg

(This is an image taken by the public relations officer.

 I couldn't express the taste on my smartphone.)

Delicious demiglass sauce and hot beef ...!

My daughter Azuki, who hates hard meat and never eats, was also pakpaku-perori.

It's really delicious.

And my mother Edamame was secretly impressed.

The vegetables are also delicious! That's right.

The carrots are very sweet and delicious.

It was very clear that the details were attentive.

 

Click here for the next one

15529-1.jpg

The bales on the right are crab cream croquettes.

On the left is "Shrimp Cream Croquette"

This was the first thing that showed interest in the croquette-loving star, in fact.

Mother Edamame, to feed the azuki

I broke the shrimp cream croquette in half...

15532-1.jpg

I've never seen a shrimp cream croquette with so many shrimps!

When I try it, the shrimp extract is full!

Of course (?) But the same goes for crab cream croquettes.

When I ate it, the taste of crabs spread abundantly in my mouth.

How happy you are!
 

And this is

15531-1.jpg

It is "Edomae Builer Base".

What you can see on the table is shrimp and clams, but

There is also a lot of white fish and octopus under it.

More than anything, the soup! The soup stock of the shrimp was tightly concentrated.

Azuki's words, "A lot of sea!" That's right.
 
 

Here, about the "Edomae Western Food" that I mentioned the title.

I happened to be able to talk to Vice President Takaoka of Ningyocho this half of the time ...

When Vice President Takaoka was the manager of the Ningyocho main store in the half of Ningyocho,

It seems that the previous owner of Hamitei was close to the association when he was the chairman of the Neighborhood Association. At that time, the predecessor said, "We're Edo-mae Western food."

'Edomae Western food.'

After all, there was a fish shore in Nihonbashi, and the word "Edomae" follows the flow.

He said that he wanted to value the meaning of the word.

Certainly, the materials are carefully examined in the market,

I did a polite job that inherits the first-generation technology that gained experience at a long-established hotel,

It is very well understood that the dishes were served in that way.

It's not just a Western-style meal in downtown, it's a Western-style meal in front of Edo.

So, the feeling of the previous generation, I received it properly.
 

And the connection with the city of Ningyocho and amazake Yokocho.

He wants to be a shop and dish that can take care of the emotions and atmosphere of the city of Ningyocho, which has a deep connection with the Hanayanagi world, and has a history of playhouses.

In fact, as a history of the shop, Western food eaten with chopsticks is in the parlor of Sukiya style.

It has been loved by geisha people in downtown, actors and writers ...

In addition, from the head of "Futaba" of the opposite tofu who came to the store at lunchtime.

"You made a wonderful shop," he said.

It is the wish of all the people of this city that the city will live in this way.

I want to value the value of a good store being protected in this way.

I would like to thank Vice President Takaoka for his valuable talk.

 

Well, there's another nice menu.

Western-style lunch box - 1.jpg

We continue to offer the specialty menu "Western-style lunch box" that has existed since the old store.

Also, dinner time.

Dinner Course - 1.jpg

There is also a wonderful course like this, so I think it is perfect for a special meal.

In addition, when eating with important people.

Private room - 1.jpg

There is a private room on the third floor.

(1 room for 4 people, 2 rooms for 6 people. Up to 10 people)

It's nice to use you too.

At home ... for example, is it a celebration of the admission of Azuki next spring? ?

(I’ll be able to go to kindergarten next year. Hmm.

 

That's why I was totally obsessed with the charm of Hamitei and went home.

He was an admirable parent and child.

"This time I'm going to be with my dad." "Yes!"

From the 17th (Mon) of the official opening, I would like to visit again soon!

"Hibiya" in Hatchobori?

[yaz] 18:00 on December 17, 2018

"What are you talking about?" I feel like I hear a voice. Hibiya is decided to be Hibiya, where Hibiya Park is located. But near Hatchobori Takahashi, there is Hibiya Shrine and Hibiya Riverside.

 Hibiya Riverside Map _ Details. jpg

 

In the first year of Choroku (1457) of the Muromachi period, when Michio Ota built Chiyoda Castle, he was dedicated to Hibiya Park in appreciation of the blessings of heaven and earth. When Ieyasu Tokugawa entered the office, a large expansion of Edo Castle began, and Hibiya Gomon was built and was driven out. As an alternative, we have been transferred to the current Higashi-Shimbashi 2-1 near the intersection of Loop Route 2 and Daiichi Keihin.

Hibiya-jinja Shrine (Shimbashi).jpg

 

However, the worshipers of Inari were in trouble if they were not enshrined on the coast, so they buried the tidal flats of Hatchobori, built shrine hall, and moved to their current location.

Hibiya was a Hibiya inlet, and he stood up "Hibi" and picked up the glue. Among the things that have been used since ancient times, there are seaweed coarselobes made of branches such as "kashi" and "nara" with many twigs. In the 1710s, savours began to be built to actively grow seaweed. A stunning view of a seaweed farm is drawn on one of Hiroshige Andou's "Hundred Views of Edo" (1856-57), "Minamishinagawa Samezu Coast".

This solves the mystery of Hibiya in Hatchobori.

 

 

Kiyosu Bridge is under construction

[wienerhorn] 14:00 on December 17, 2018

Kiyosu Bridge IMG_6917.jpgKiyosu Bridge, a nationally designated important cultural property, is one of the reconstruction bridges after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and is famous as one of the beautiful bridges that span the Sumida River along with Eitai Bridge.
Two types of construction are underway for the Kiyosu Bridge until next fall, and the bridge is covered with temporary scaffolding.
One is the renovation of aging "landscape lighting". The lighting will be LED.
The other is repainting work to prevent rust due to deterioration of the coating film on the iron part.
The beautiful view of Kiyosu Bridge will be kept for a while, but it is important to maintain it and make it last longer.

[The Minnie Cricket] 12:00 on December 17, 2018

Ginza 1-chome, the tomato on the wall is impressive, and its name is "Meat Bar Bergman Ginza Store" on the first floor of the Tomato Building.

omde201803.JPG

As a result of the examination, select "Omdemiberg"

As expected, omelets, demiglass sauce, hamburger steak and the taste of the Trinity

I have to come again
