Hario Family Sale

[Flatfuu] October 13, 2014 09:00

There was a family sale at Hario headquarters for two days, October 9 and 10.

I visited you in the morning of the 9th.

 The location is 9-3 Tomizawa-machi, Nihonbashi.

It's close to Ningyocho, Kodemmacho, and Bakuroyokoyama stations.

It's just a little from the big street.

Although it is a family sale, you can enter freely even if you are not a related person.

 The Hario headquarters building is a wonderful building that has also become a registered Tangible Cultural Property, former Kawasaki Savings Bank Tomizawacho Branch.

Unfortunately, the road in front of me was under construction and it was very difficult to take pictures....

The photo is the side and entrance part.

The interior was very nice, with chic, thick wooden doors and stairs on the walls of the white plaster.

If you don't have such a sale opportunity, you can't easily enter, so it's a great deal.

 Well, the sale was a great success in the morning and was quite crowded. In particular, coffee-related equipment seemed to be popular.

I also bought a variety of bowls and dressing bottles, but what I'm looking forward to using is this "Fruit Smoothy Maker".

It seems that you can easily make smoothie by adding fruits such as strawberries and mango, milk, yogurt, etc.

Because it is heat-resistant glass, it is said that hot chocolate can be made when it gets cold.

After all, the price was very good!

 On the way home, when I was walking toward Mt. Bakuroyoko, I found such a wild boar in front of Pigeon headquarters for baby goods.

According to the description, it is a reproduction of a wild boar statue in the square of Florence, Italy.IMG_0327.JPG

Any wild boar is a symbol of good luck, and if you touch your nose, it seems to be beneficial for money luck, marriage, child treasure, etc.

Perhaps because of that, the wild boar's nose was shiny

 Although it is an area where new condominiums have increased, there are old buildings in some places, so it was a fun walk behind the alley.

 

 

How about a gift or a gift?

 One of the pleasures of walking around the city is finding interesting things in the shop and seeing a nice display.

 

 

The other day, I found something cute in different places, so I'll let you know.

On the opposite side of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, I found a very cool display at the shop of "Okashiji Nihonbashiya". A lot of goldfish are swimming comfortably....That said, this is a jelly Japanese sweet called "goldfish scooping". I bought 3 pieces.

It's even cooler when you put it on a glass plate. The taste is also very refreshing with the acidity of lemon jelly, and you will feel refreshed on hot and rainy days.

 

 However, I came to Itoya in Ginza. The building on Ginza Street is currently under construction, so I entered a temporary store behind Matsuya. On the first floor there, I found pretty stationery

In a chic stripe box, cute and colorful macarons are lined up.

This is actually an eraser. The color looks delicious. It's an affordable price of 500 yen excluding tax, so it's good for small gifts and thanks for children and students. It's quite real, so you have to be careful not to make a mistake.

 

 The other one I found in Itoya is here.IMG_0112.JPG

It's a clip in the shape of a small hanger. I tried to put the card in between. This is an idea product that you can decorate your favorite photo without piercing it with a pin. It's 500 yen excluding tax, including 7 pieces.

 

 

 I want to survive the hot rainy season while enjoying such a little miscellaneous goods.

 

 

 

Subway Gourmet Hunting Flottage Rally

[Flatfuu] May 5, 2014 08:08

 I have become a correspondent this year, Furafui. Thank you very much.

 

book.JPG I participated in the Flortage Rally, a subway event held during the four consecutive holidays in the second half of Golden Week. Frottage means that if you put paper on uneven surfaces and rub it with a pencil, pictures and letters will emerge. I've done it when I was a child. It seems that it can be enjoyed by families with children. This is two adults of a good age....

 First of all, get the booklet of the rally installed at the subway station. It seemed to be available at both Metro and Toei Subway stations. When you open the inside, the manga depicts gourmet information about the five stations where the frotage is installed. The five stations are Ueno-Okachimachi, Jimbocho, Ningyocho, Tsukiji (Tsukiji Market), and Tsukishima, and include three stations in Chuo-ku. First, I decided to go around Ueno-Okachimachi from Jimbocho and head to Ningyocho.

In addition to the ticket gate, there is a rally stand. Place the booklet according to the frame and rub it with colored pencils to capture the pattern on the table.

 I decided to walk around the city in Ningyocho. The time is just one p.m. I can see the time signal of the Karakuri clock on Ningyocho Street and feel like I got it. When the roof rose and the ladder ride appeared, everyone along the road was taking pictures all at once.

 For lunch, I had a tartar burger at BROZERS. This is a hamburger specialty store owned by an owner who trained in Sydney, Australia. In addition to the Ningyocho store, it seems that it is also located in Shintomicho. Patty is fragrant, lettuce comes with a crunchy, and a whole larger pickles. You can add toppings as you like, and choosing a menu is fun and lost.

 It seems that there is a menu called "Ansan Burger" only for Dog Day only at Ningyocho store, and a poster appeared next to the entrance. Why is it safe? Yes, the clerk will tell you, but it's fun to go. By the way, the price of 1,350 yen seems to be a match around "good postpartum".

 The location of the shop is on the left side of the Hamacho Ryokudo from Kiyosubashi-dori. Just in front of the shop, there is a monument of "The Land of Chinese Medicine Reconstruction".

 

 The rally booklet also has a shop introduction and coupon page. Buy tsuboyaki at Shigemori Eishindo, a puppet ware, and get an oval rice cracker with a coupon.

 Another house. I found something interesting at Chidoriya, a Tenugui shop located in the alley of Bunkyodo Bookstore. It's said that it's an invitation and reads "onion". There were a lot of interesting messages, but I bought a daruma pattern with the hope that the child would study a little.

 After that, we went around Tsukiji and finished at Tsukishima Station. What is the result of the lottery?...Participation prize. But I was very satisfied because I enjoyed walking around the city.

 Before returning, coffee time at Tsukishima Cafe. It is a cafe with high ceilings and a sense of openness on Nishi Riverside Street running along the Sumida River.

 The Frottage Rally is being held until the 6th. You can walk around the city while enjoying the rally, so it is recommended for those with children. Of course, adults also enjoyed it.
