Hasegawa Ginza Main Store Hinas also sold incense food candle gift set

[Silver] February 24, 2019 18:00

 At the Hasegawa Ginza Main Store, famous for its Buddhist altar Hasegawa commercial, facing Ginza Street, Hina doll seemed smiling at me. The Buddha was not waving his hand, so I entered the store.

 Mr. Amida's guidance or a kind woman responded and explained.

The one I tried was a bell. When the bell rings, the lingering sound remains with Lean and a clear sound. It's the subject of the next purchase.

 In relation to Buddhist utensils, there were incense and smell bags. In the Buddhist world, it is said that Buddhas do not eat rice or fruits, but eat the scent as a meal. And it seems that this is called incense food.

 Life wrapped in a faint scent makes you feel calm.

And recently, there is a custom of giving gorgeous incense stick or candles as gifts. 

This is a Japanese sweets-style candle gift set.

February 23rd, Mount Fuji Day.

At Machiya in Nihonbashi, Edo Castle and Mount Fuji are as much as possible.
The city planning was done so that I could expect.

Suruga Tefu and Surugacho are located in front of the street in Suruga.
It is a town designed so that you can see Mount Fuji.
The name of the town was given from this view.

It depicts a broad composition that forms a pair with Mount Fuji.
You can feel good luck on the streets of the town.

Currently, stone structures such as the main building of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and the Mitsui Main Building are made of stone.
It's a street lined with Historic buildings.

I can't see Mount Fuji hidden in the building, but I can't see it.

It is also known as a famous spot for cherry blossoms in spring.

A famous place in Edo where you can enjoy Nishiki-e.

Winter only! Lemonade of a flower shop

[Hanes] February 24, 2019 09:00


Good evening. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, on the way back to the seasonal waterfront course by bicycle.
Coincidentally a cute shop was caught in my eyes and I've been detouring!

IMG_4509.JPG

This shop, which is wonderful even at night, is a flower shop FANCY FLOWER STORE.
It has a different atmosphere from other flower shops, and it is elaborate on the display.
It looks like a reference for gardening.

IMG_4501.JPG

We handle houseplants, flowers, and preserved flowers.
If you look closely, you will find even cooking herbs, and it will be fun just by looking at them.

However, as you can see in the picture, it's not just cute!
At this counter, which is attached to the flower shop, you can purchase special drinks.

IMG_4490.JPG

The menu includes green smoothies with cold prevention and beautiful skin effects, daily smoothies.
And non-sugar winter-only HOT lemonade using domestic lemons.

The sweetness of nature that cannot be reproduced with commercially available lemonade is gentle.
It also served as a supplement to vitamins, and it was delicious.

If Mr. Itoya's lemonade is a stationery store's lemonade.
This is a flower shop's lemonade

Perhaps because it was a job that values the scent of flowers, I felt that the scent of lemonade was excellent.

"nel CRAFT CHOCOLATE TOKYO" Open in HAMACHO HOTEL!

[Edamame] February 23, 2019 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.
 

Today, February 15, 2019.

A new type of hotel with rental housing

"HAMACHO HOTEL" has opened!

DSC_5174-1.jpg

The state of the building is being built as an edamame of neighboring residents.

I was looking forward to seeing you every day.

What is the interest of local residents?

"What kind of good shop can I have?"

That's right. There will definitely be a delicious restaurant in the hotel.

In many cases, high-quality confectioneries are also included.

I'm looking forward to it.
 

So, first of all, today is the first day of the opening.

It was newly opened in the hotel.

I visited "nel CRAFT CHOCOLATE TOKYO".

DSC_5170-1.jpg

The entrance facing the road has sides and stairs that do not face the main street.

Considering easy-to-understand and barrier-free routes

It might be better to enter from the front entrance of the hotel facing Kiyosubashi-dori.

DSC_5173-1.jpg

Enter the hotel entrance and proceed to the back of your right and you will be able to arrive at the store properly.

 

Well, in the shop right away.

DSC_5171-1.jpg

There are various kinds of tablet chocolates right next to the entrance.

It was displayed with cacao.

"Ghana", "Venezuela", "Bunchapbetonam", etc.

There are a lot of chocolates with the name of the cacao production area.

The percentage of cacao seems to be different, and it seems fun to compare eating.
 

DSC_5172-1.jpg

The chocolate bonbon was also displayed here.

DSC_5177-1.jpg

Is it easier to understand the shape of the picture in the pamphlet?

It was made of cacao made by contract farmers in Vietnam

In addition to "Bunchapbentonam"

It is only made from special ingredients such as "Tamba Black Bean Kinako" and "Yuzu".

 
It is said that the name of the shop "nel" comes from "kneading".

"Delivering chocolate kneaded with carefully selected materials and craftsmanship with true heart."

You're making it with that feeling.

Chef Chocolatier goes to the production area by himself

It contains carefully selected cacao beans and ingredients selected from producers.

Chocolate completed with high technology, incorporating ingredients unique to Japan.

All of them make you feel the high quality.
 

In addition, "late citrus peel" using Amakusa late citrus from Kumamoto and

"Chocola Show (Chocolate Drink)" etc.

All of them are attractive, and they're in trouble with their eyes.

This is what I bought today.

DSC_5175-1.jpg

"Nihonbashi hamachoco" (1080 yen including tax).

It's in your mouth! !

It was a creamy and delicious chocolate with a smooth mouthfeel.

Is there a little liqueur in it? That's what you say

I felt soft later.

(So, this is not a snack of my daughter Azuki (3 years old)

 It will be a snack at midnight for mother Edamame.)

 
There are special items that can only be obtained here.

It seems that you will be pleased when you want to make souvenirs somewhere in the future.

As a local resident, I will continue to take care of you.

Let's compare the eating of tablets this time?

Or would you like to try the Chocolat Show in the cold season?

I'm looking forward to seeing you next time.

And ... a restaurant in the hotel that I haven't visited yet.

I was thrilled to see you in the future.
