Chuo-ku Recycling House "Kazaguruma"

[The Crown and the Rabbit] December 1, 2016 14:00

Chuo-ku Recycling House "Kazaguruma" is located in the Environmental Promotion Division Environmental Activities Section of the ward.

 

①Collection of resources

Collection of milk packs, styrofoam trays for food, batteries, cloths, ink cartridges, etc.

 

②Management of Recycling Corners

Provision of consignment items such as clothing, miscellaneous goods, tableware, etc. that are no longer needed at home to applicants for a fee or free of charge.

 

③Posting of waste exchange information

Information posted to those who want to transfer large furniture and expensive items that cannot be displayed in the kazaguruma are posted to those who want to transfer or who want to transfer.

This is a store-type business that mainly focuses on recycling resources.

 

 

The main is the purchase and sale of 2 items.

In other words, there is a function of a recycling shop and used clothes shop in the city area.

The lower limit is from ¥50 to ¥3,000, no matter how valuable it is.

There's nothing more expensive than that.

 

This "Kazaguruma". It's located in Akashicho and Hakozaki, but I'm glad that I'm just a 5-minute walk from home and from the company I work, so both look at once a week, That's why I get wonderful items that I can't believe in my heart.

 

There are St. Luke's Residence and T-Cat near Kazaguruma, and it is easy to imagine that the super and high-income people unique to Chuo-ku live, and it is impossible to verify whether it is affecting it. However, sometimes even some of the world's top brands such as Gunnell, Misssonni, Marni, etc. In addition, from custom-made items that are thought to have been ordered at a long-established clothing store in Ginza, to dresses and coats finished by hand in the early Showa era, even one-of-a-kind imported accessories, no matter how expensive it is, it will not exceed $3,000! If the size and taste match your preference, you will be able to shop at a dream-like lie price that should have zero digits different by about two digits.

 

It's not just about clothes.

Be sure to check your accessories, accessories and tableware.

 

Over the past five years, 60% to 70% of my property has now been obtained from Kazaguruma. You no longer shop for professionals in department stores or boutiques, except for kimonos and shoes.

 

Also, at the time of Great East Japan Earthquake, my parents' home was hit by a massive tsunami in Minamisanriku-cho, so I was grateful for the inexpensiveness of "Kazaguruma", whether for men and women of all ages, I gradually bought them, and sent them in many cardboard boxes.

 

I was present at the moment when the cardboard was opened in refuge, but I felt that my life was prolonged, the eyes of those who were exhausted, and I was able to enjoy the joy of dressing in a straightforward manner.

 

By the way, after I was 50 years old, I not only got things, but also awakened to "discarding", but the system of "Kazaguruma" is helping here too. Free corner of disposable items = There is an OK corner where you can bring it home for free, so if you do not need it, but you do not remember to dispose of it as garbage, specify it in the required documents and provide it free of charge You.

 

In this way, "Kazaguruma" has a variety of useful values. I think that the probability of encountering a brand is low just once you go, but if you didn't know it, please take this opportunity to take a look.

 

By the way, I can't live except Chuo-ku because I can't live without "Kazaguruma" on the side anymore. 。 。

Tutto Bene, a new attraction in Tsukiji!

[The Crown and the Rabbit] June 22, 2015 14:00

I introduced myself as a resident of Tsukiji.

"Where is the most delicious shop in Tsukiji?" So

I'm often asked a question, but in such a case, it's a matter of time.

It's not sushi, set meal, ramen.

I recommended the Italian "Paratizo" from the Tsukiji Outer Market.

However, recently, word of mouth has become a reputation, and the line of tourists has been constant.

It was too difficult to secure seats and it was difficult for locals to stop by.

 

However, in early June, at Tsukiji 7-chome (7-10-10 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku).

The sister store "Tutbene" has opened!

Firewood kiln dishes, that is, this store also offers pizza!

 

__T.JPG

 

The charm of Italian is originally rooted in each of the Italian regions.

It must have a rugged and powerful taste.

Most Italians in Japan are arranged in Japanese style.

There is a tendency to evolve too elegantly...

However, "Paratizo" and "Tutbene" do not meet such a trend, and do not respond to such a trend.

This is Southern Italy! Do you have any complaints?

It's full of attitude and momentum.

 

Terry Ito is the best in Japan! Acclaimed

"Paratizo" became a specialty at once.

"Shellfish and Cherry Blossom Pescatore-style Ringines purchased today" is available.

It is also alive in "Tutbene".

 

On the day I visited

Scallop shells, mussels, Asari, clams, crow pirates, elder shrimp, etc.

There are many kinds of seafood, and how much soup stock is extracted?

It's easy to imagine the taste, isn't it? 

With your hands greasy (wine glass is also sticky)

If you are absorbed in eating shells and shells, you will create a shell mound without fail.

And of course, I have to eat Napleli Pizza, which is baked in a firewood kiln!

The edges are thick and chewy.

The feature of Napleli Pizza is that the inflated edges are burnt.

Gorgonzola and walnut pizza have an exquisite balance of saltiness and sweetness!

 

__ (11). JPG

 

On this day, I was full.

As a matter of fact, I know Dolce is also excellent.

When I revisited at lunch later, I revenge at Tiramisu in Pistachio.

It looks simple, and it's simple.

It has a lot of volume, but it's rich in flavor and has a lot of flavor.

 

__ (4). JPG

 

Tutto Bene!』 Is in Italian.

"Everything goes well!" `No problem!' That's what it means.

Here, if you inject the taste and energy

It's really like that!

A border shop

[The Crown and the Rabbit] May 16, 2015 22:12

A long-established stationery store in Tsukiji 7-chome closed.

I wonder if one of the lights of culture has disappeared.

I felt lonely.

After that store, we will take advantage of the advantages of show windows with a variety of frames.

It became a show room "Anchor" that handles clothes imported directly from France.

If you look into it, you will find stylish border shirts lined up, and at first glance, it looks like a border specialty store.

I call it a "border shop" for convenience.

Basically, it is a wholesaler, and depending on the visitors, such as Shimashimaya-san.

It seems that he is called in his own way.

 

 __ (13). JPG

 

"Border T-shirts" and "Basque Shirts" (born in the Basque region) are very popular in Japan.

Since around the 1820s, in the Brittany region of France

It continues to be worn by seafarers.

In the local area, "marinier" fisherman-style

"Bulton" (born in the Brittany region) and

It is said that it is called.

There are various theories about the original controversy, but in any case, it was later adopted in navy uniforms.

The number of borders is clearly defined as the same number as Napoleon Victory.

It is a standard that has gradually spread throughout the world and is not affected by the pilgrimage of fashion.

An essential item for men and women of all ages's wardrobe.

The portrait photos that Picasso and Hemingway love use are also famous.

There's about one of you. If you like borders, do you have many cards at hand?

 

 

Mr. Takamatsu, the representative, was the rise of House Manukan.

Worked for apparel companies from the bubble period to the second half.

With the exception of a handful, it is not quite creative at all.

I was tired of the easyness of the designer brand and character brand.

When my interest was about to fade

Meet the category of factory brands.

 

__ (20). jpg

I have been involved in English music since I was a student.

Knowing its cultural background, the Industrial Revolution and Industrial Revolution brought about.

Combined with the fact that I felt the splendor of the British factory function on my skin, I was able to do so.

"The origin of clothes" = just like your feelings go to the origin.

 

However, the connection was connected.

A long-established restaurant of marine wear in France, not U.K.

I will take on the agent and become independent with several people.

I've been developing Shibuya-Aoyama-Ginza.

With the times and age, moved to Tsukiji, far away from the fashionable location.

 

 

Don't you go too far? In response to the question

"It's true that the channel is completely different from where we've been with.

For example, people working in the market

It's fun to ask your voice directly from the end user."

A few minutes from Tsukiji Market. An uncle in rubber boots stopped by and dropped in.

It is like purchasing it as a solid workwear.

For him, it seems to be a reconfirmation of the origin and origin that makes sense.

 

The inside of the store is actually bordered and shirts.

Many factory brands that Mr. Takamatsu fell in love with are enshrined.

 

[Armo Rucks] Brittany Region

Founded in 1938.

The brand name is Burton, "The Light of the Sea"

This item is symbolized by a marine stripe stripe that feels soft.

He works on a wide range of clothing, men's clothing, and lingeries.

 

[Fileuse d'Arvor (Filse D'Arbo)] Brittany Region

Founded in 1927.

The old-fashioned "Vintage Rib" is called "Vintage Rib".

The most distinctive feature of this knitted fabric is the use of a knitted fabric.

After all, the borders are symbolic and are provided to the current French Navy.

 

[GUY Cotten (Gi Cotten)] Brittany Region

Founded in 1964.

Build an unwavering position with "yellow oilskin item".

It mainly consists of rubber kappa and ties.

The market share of French fisherman wear is 99%.

Quickly incorporate velcro tape and dissolving crimp.

Pursuit the convenience and durability required by modern times.

 

[Arpin] Savoie region

A long-established store founded in 1817.

Use only Alps wool and use national heritage machinery and technology.

He works on everything from silk to weaving.

Recently, we have enhanced functionality-oriented wear that incorporates chemical materials.

I recommend it.

Signature model of North Pole explorer Paul Emir Victor.

 

 

"For these companies, they are on the ground.

I like the bottom of my heart, there is a serious ochan with technology.

Size and size for Japan

It really understands my request and makes it.

So the real certainty and story that exist there are

If you wear it, you will feel it with your skin."

 

__.JPG

(On the day of the interview, my wife also helped. The right side of the photo is his wife. I met you for the first time.

 

For me, when I was young, I didn't notice the goodness of things, stories, etc.

I jumped on just because everyone was wearing it, but

Because it was a standard, it was difficult to get it somehow.

Now that I get older, I feel like I'm able to wear it in an established style.

When worn by generations aged both physically and mentally, the persuasiveness appears in clothes.

It may be the strength of the factory brand.

 

"Border shop" has already gained popularity by word of mouth.

It may be extremely natural for Tsukiji, which has many connoisseurs and inherits the best of Edo.

By all means, listen to the brand story from Mr. Takamatsu.

Find a nice piece that will be close to your life.

The city of water

[The Crown and the Rabbit] April 14, 2015 15:00

 

Speaking of the city of water, Venice and Amsterdam are famous.

Edo was a city of water, where the transportation of ships was the mainstream and the riverbank was developed.

Today's Tokyo, especially Chuo-ku, Tokyo

Various rivers and diggings have been reclaimed by the development.

Still, there are many rivers and bridges, and it's still a water front.

 

With the image of the city of water that continues from Edo, the motif was designed with a characteristic bridge in Chuo-ku.

The original Tenugui "ACROSS CLOTH", which is finished with light blue dye, has been released.

From the top, Kiyosu Bridge, Minami Takahashi, Toyomi Bridge, Nihonbashi, Eitai Bridge, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, and Kachidokibashi.

It is a dish that conveys the charm of Chuo-ku, composed of a bridge with high design.

100% cotton, about 35cm x 90cm, ¥1,000 (excluding tax)

Only the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and the Tokyo Karakusaya, a furoshiki specialty store in Ningyocho, can be purchased.

It's a great deal.

Eight bridges (in turn from the mouth) over Okawa (Sumida River) in Chuo-ku.

Let's take you to the other three bridges, which are the motifs of Tenugui. 

 

[Bridge over the Okawa (Sumida River)]

①Kachidokibashi

Nationally Designated Important Cultural Properties

The largest movable bridge in the East was built using technology.

Chicago-type Futaba Jumping Bridge =, that is, a spring bridge.

It seems that opening and closing has been stopped at the end of November 29, 1970 (1970).

What happens when it opens? For those who are interested.

We recommend watching the movie "Blues Brothers".

It's not Kachidokibashi, but it's not Kachidokibashi.

There is a famous scene where the Chicago-type Futaba Jumping Bridge is used effectively.

The light-up is emphasized in a blue straight line and the Futaba arch is green.

 

②Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge

Tsukuda's ferry, which lasted for about 320 years, is a bridge built over the place where the ferry port to Tsukuda Island was located.

Near the 36km Tokyo Marathon

The bridge is also the estuary of the sloped uphill + Okawa (Sumida River).

It is also known as the biggest difficulty in the course, where the sea breeze blows relentlessly and frustrated people come out.

Standing on a part of a bridge,

There is a point where you can see the Sky Tree well and the Tokyo Tower at the same time.

 

③Chuo-ohashi Bridge

Harp Bridge connecting Shinkawa and Tsukuda

Hashigami was presented by the city of Paris to commemorate the friendship between the Sumida River in Tokyo and the Seine in Paris.

"Messenger statue (by sculptor Osship Zackin)" is installed.

At first glance, it looks flat, but the bicycle is so inclined that you want to stand up.

Combined with the skyscrapers of Tsukuda, the iconic landscape of the water front spreads out.

④Eitai Bridge

Nationally Designated Important Cultural Properties

Heavy and robust steel arch bridge

When the arch is lit up, it becomes a big blue rainbow.

Blue is reflected on the surface of the water, and its beauty is so often used in the background of trendy dramas.

While drinking beer, twilight, and

It's also fun to watch the lights up of the bridge and the navigation of the houseboat.

⑤Sumida River Ohashi

A bridge with a two-layer structure characterized by a function-oriented design

The upper part is the Metropolitan Expressway Route 9 and the lower part is the general road.

It's light green and unpopular as a bridge that blocks the landscape.

On the other hand, you can enjoy the view of Kiyosu Bridge and Chuo-ohashi Bridge from this bridge.

It is useful for photographers.

 

⑥Kiyosu Bridge

Nationally Designated Important Cultural Properties

The elegant shape is modeled by suspension bridge in Rhine.

It looks like the word "M" written flat. The bridge color is grayish, nuanced blue.

The light-up looks like an actress mirror with round light bulbs lined up at equal intervals, but

Because the color is pink, it is reflected in the color of the gray-blue bridge.

The bridge is a little purple and very bewitching.

 

⑦Shinohashi

The "Human Assistance Bridge" that saved many lives during the Great Kanto Earthquake

Up to now, it has been damaged, washed away, or burned more than 20 times.

It has survived as a key point of transportation.

The yellow support of the current bridge looks like an American football goal.

At last, I want to kick the ball.

By the way, Van Gogh replicates his work influenced by Ukiyo-e, but he is

It is often featured in the topic, and if you look at it, the work you think "Oh, that's right?"

Hiroshige Utagawa's last year's "Large Hashitake Evening" was drawn. (Hiroshige on the left and Van Gogh on the right)

                                     

 

 

                 _.JPG(80 KB). JPG

 

⑧Ryogokubashi

Tokyo selection Historic buildings

A bridge that connects "Musashinokuni" and "Shimousakuni".

The red line under the railing is impressive, with the main pillars, balustrades, bridge lights, sidewalk fences, paving stones, etc.

There is an elaborate work on everything.

 

 

 

[Other bridges with the motif of Tenugui]

*Minami Takahashi

Central ward Tangible Cultural Property

A bridge built over the Kamejima River, which was 1 km long, where Funami Bansho was located in the Edo period.

Due to the lack of budget for reconstruction after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Japan

The central part of the former Ryogoku Bridge is reused as part of the main body.

It has a retro feeling of Meiji period and is cute like a railway model railway bridge.

 

*Toyomi Bridge

Central ward Tangible Cultural Property

An unusual design like a ladder lying down

This bridge spans the mouth of the Nihonbashi River pours into the Sumida River.

It is said that it was designed in consideration of the landscape balance with the nearby Eitai Bridge.

Inside the white bridge, the balustrade is dark blue, and the contrast is refreshing.

When it is lighted up, it looks like the train is stopped from its unique form.

 

*Nihonbashi

Nationally Designated Important Cultural Properties

In 2011, the bridge was built, a two-story stone arch bridge that entered the first century.

The starting point of all national roads "Japan Road Mark"

The bronze sculpture of the Kirin and the lion is as sophisticated as gargoyl.

There is no use as a rain gutter, representing prosperity and protection.

 

 

 

Turret Coffee

[The Crown and the Rabbit] May 7, 2014 09:00

Do you know Turley?

If you visit inside and outside the Tsukiji Market, you will definitely see it.

Only the handle, power part, and loading platform for transporting toro boxes, etc.

A very simple truck for cargo handling.

Especially in the early morning, he was killed, implicit understanding and local rules

With a body like "That's there, Talley passes."

I'm running in all directions, but I'm running out of control.

The proof of the local people is that you can walk dignifiedly without being afraid of Turley.

 

By the way, "Turret Coffee" was opened in October 2013 under the name of the store.

IMG_3905.jpg IMG_6359.jpg

There is one tarley in the store.

 

I wonder if the people who worked in the market started out.

Mr. Kawasaki is a cup of coffee.

IMG_6276.jpg IMG_5359.jpg

After working at a famous coffee chain store

At the Latte Art Convention held in the United States

Study under Hiroshi Sawada, who won the first Asian person and the highest score ever, and studied.

He became independent as a barista.

The store name and logo are supervised by Mr. Sawada.

IMG_3013.jpg

 

Until now, it has been deployed in places such as Shibuya, Harajuku, and Roppongi.

It seems that there was no problem in attracting customers.

In that case, at least Ginza and Nihonbashi are likely to attract customers.

Why did you open a store in Tsukiji?

And right next to it is a world-famous coffee shop.

"The world-famous coffee shop also started with the price market in Seattle, and it started.

I thought it was from the market to send out delicious food.

I was surprised to say next to a famous coffee shop, but I dared to hit it.

If you like coffee, you will surely be aware of it here as well.

I'm still struggling, but I'm just not familiar with this style SHOP.

I think there are many people who are looking forward to it.

I want to be like a Western restaurant that is loved by the local community, as if there are about one in each station."

 

What's different from the coffee shop in a chain store?

It means that it is "Espresso Bar".

   Usually, what we imagine as coffee

   Fresh roasted beans are extracted in a drip style.

   Espresso grinds deep roasted beans into fine pieces.

   Espresso machine is used to extract it with pressure.

   It is characterized by its condensed flavor and rich flavor.

   By the way, Cafe au lait (Cafe au lait) is French

   Caffe Latte is Italian.

Just like the bartender makes a cocktail

Brew carefully from grinding beans, one cup of barista, and then brewed.

Depending on the menu, it was full of surprise and entertainment.

It will be completed with Latte art.

"I want you to make new discoveries every time you visit us.

Barista is a craftsman. No one can do it.

Concentrate on coffee and provide something that can only be enjoyed here.

I want to keep the taste of the store," he said.

 

 

There are 13 kinds of menus

Among them, I would like to compare In House Drinks to alcohol and introduce it with discretion and prejudice.

What are you going to order?

 

*Turret Latte

  Mr. Kawasaki's commitment to being bitter and dark.

  ⇒Full body red wine

IMG_2897.jpg 

 

*Seasonal Latte Macchiato

  Fruit flavor  

  ⇒Cocktail

 

*Espresso

  It is served at sake cups (sake cups).

  ⇒Pure Rice Ginjo sake

IMG_6609.jpg

 

*Espresso Macchiato

  There is something warm and cold. The temperature of the latte.

IMG_7811.jpg IMG_3970.jpg

 

  

  It's also interesting to compare drinking.

  ⇒Whiskey shot 

 

 

 

Re-Fish dining room

[The Crown and the Rabbit] July 24, 2013 09:00

Tsuiji, Chuo-ku.

In the middle of the city center, it is clear that it is a sacred place for food, especially marine products.

However, even if you visit Tsukiji in search of "cheap and delicious" fish, the market is a professional purveyor.

It is thought that more people enjoy Tsukiji at a sushi restaurant than a set meal shop.

 

For those who say, "But since I came to Tsukiji, I would like to try a little different way of eating fish."

There is a very popular restaurant right now.

Re-Fish dining room behind the Tsukiji Outer Information Center "Flatto Tsukiji".

 

Mr. Katsuhiko Ueda of the Fisheries Agency

"Eating fish", "Conveying the importance of fish", "Knowing fish"

Everything is the Re-Fish action

Share aspirations

Tsukiji Market officials, shop owners of Kappo cuisine, izakaya and cafeterias, marine college officials, gourmet media, etc.

Anyway, it is one of the activities in which people like "fish and LOVE" gather.

It is a limited time until August (it is not clear until August).

 

   logo.gif

 

The manager is Mr. Moriyama.

I commute by car from Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture.

When I fell in love with the edge of peeling the radish as a sashimi knob and looked at it with love.

He told me without stopping the flow.

 

Even if you make a knob, it's not special, just doing ordinary things.

This was the case when there was no slicer.

Because the current "food" is too used to the culture given.

Do you have no taste formation and don't know the depth of taste?

It's fresh, so it's not delicious because it's expensive.

You should trust your tongue more.

 

So the white board

The menu of the cafeteria written under "It's a serious set-up restaurant for fish."

I can't hear, Ryukyudon (Oita), Yuni (Hokkaido / Tohoku), etc.

Nothing is a local fisherman dish.

However, the spirit of facing each other is conveyed, and all the casual things are delicious.

 

The set meal is also good, but here is Tsukiji.

In the afternoon, mix with people from the market who finished work

It is also good to have a cup of fish appetizers with a knob from the high day.
