Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Last November, there was a shop with a nice atmosphere very close to Kabukiza.

　　　　　
This is "Ain Soph (AIN SOPH)".

　　　　

It is located along Showa-dori in the same block as Kabukiza Theater.

　　　　

　　　　　

It is said that Ain Soph means "infinity". I wonder if the tree of life comes from.

We offer a complete vegan meal and sweets.

　　　　　　

The Ginza store opened in 2009 and was reopened last November at the current store along Showa-dori. Sweets such as pudding, tiramisu, raisin sandwich are sold on the first floor, and meals are available on the second and fourth floors.

　　　　　　

There are also puddings and tiramisu ♡ Natural Granora.

　　　　　　

　　　　　　

　　　　　　　

I've been worried about it for half a year...
I finally got pudding and tiramisu.

　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　

It's cute because it's in a bottle. It seems that pudding uses kudzu.

　　　　　　

　　　　　　

I love sweets very much, but they usually have plenty of animal protein and sugar, such as fresh cream, and if you eat too much, you will also swallow a little guilty. 。 。 (´・ω・`)
...Yes! ！Ain Soph's sweets are made from animal protein-free and made from domestic and pesticide-free ingredients, so it feels like incorporating the power of nature into the body.

　　　　　　

　　　　　
And it's really delicious.

When you pass your throat, you can think of a high-quality kuzumochi for a moment....But surely vanilla fragrant pudding and rich and fragrant caramel are exquisite match. Well, I can't tell you well in words, so please eat it (laughs).

Don't you think it's unsatisfactory if it's not something animal?...The concern was completely unfounded.
Children can say "Eat Tanto ^^" with peace of mind! !　I can't do it often (^^;
In fact, my home Taro Masanao ate with Pakpaku in an instant.

　　　　　

　　　　　　　
Everybody has the power of infinite (Ain Soph), but natural ingredients may bring out it.
There is also a sense of luxury, and I think you will be pleased with souvenirs (` ・ ω ・ ')!
I recommend it.

At 2:00 pm on May 5th, "Shintomiza Children's Kabuki Dedication Performance" was held at Tepposu Children's Park.
It's wonderful to pass on traditional performing arts to future generations more closely.
　

　　　　　

　　　　　

◆ May 11 (Thursday) - May 17 (Wednesday)
Kanda Myojin Kanda festival
http://www.kandamyoujin.or.jp/kandamatsuri/event/

　　　　

It is counted as one of the three major festivals in Japan and one of the three major festivals in Edo.
On May 13th and 14th, 200 large and small portable shrines from 108 town associations overflow in the Nihonbashi and Kanda area.

　　　　

Two years ago, Kanda Myojin was 400 years old, so it was truly spectacular that there was portable shrine no matter which corner in the city.
The town council where I live is Miyairi for the first time this year, and Chibi of my home will finally participate for the first time p (` ・ ω ・ ́) q

　　　　　　
traditional event is full of enthusiasm unique to Japanese people. Anyway, the power is amazing.
Please come and experience it!

　　　　　

　　　　　

 

 

3 years after raising children in Chuo-ku (correspondents are 3 years!) It's gone.
In my daily life, there are many things I have to do alone and the pressure is great.
What I always think is that Chuo-ku has a lot of local support.
It is a government, a service such as a shop, a kindness of the people of the city, etc.
There are various shapes, but I'm really grateful for your help so far.

　　　　　

This time, I would like to introduce "Growth Link Kachidoki" which is one of such thankful support.

"Growth Link Kachidoki" is a child-rearing support facility with the concept of creating a community where child-rearing can be shared throughout society.

　　　　

It seems that there are lessons and rental gardens here, but the other day I used the "Play Hall", so I used it.
I would like to introduce you to you.

To use the play hall, you must first become a member.☆
Apply for registration on the Web in advance, pay the registration fee of 1500 at the office within one month to complete the procedure.
I'll receive your membership card. (Note that if you do not apply in advance for the Web, it will be 2000 yen!)
Once registered, you can play from the age of 0 to the second grade of elementary school without renewal fees or annual membership fees.

　　　　

There is also a nursing room and a diaper changing space.

　　　　　

The play hall is a huge rope jungle gym (3 stories!) in the middle of the room. Yes, there is.
The space, picture book corner, and hot carpet are warm for high-hi babies to enjoy with peace of mind.
There is a building block play zone.

In the book corner, there are also interesting books for adults along with picture books, so parents can relax.

When I was sitting on this chair, other children came in and talked about what kind of ideas they were playing.

The third floor part where the children said "heaven." I will go up and down the slope.

The rope jungle gym is safe for adults to ride.
...But honestly, on the third floor, I was scared and stuck to the net and couldn't move (laughs).
Then the girl said, "I'm 5 years old, so I'm fine! But when I was three years old, I was caught in this way."
Encourage me...(^^；)　Mr. Chibi in my home quickly became accustomed to seeing the other children.
The children were jumping in time.

What seemed interesting was the hammock of the net. It seems to calm down when you put it in. ＾＾

Chibi of my home tried to enter the hammock with a child around him, but
I think I was a little scared. But at first I was going to see the situation.
The tunnel was quickly overcoming it and crossed it.
The pipe-shaped slide extending from the second floor was also dashingly slipping.

Children are learning from children. And it's really fast growing.

　　　　

In addition, the facility is used by parents, but the staff is also watching.
There are situations where they are careful if they are doing dangerous things, and they are facing their children properly.
I'm relieved. It's really the role of a parent, but there are times when I can't take it honestly, so please get involved.
It's very helpful. I think this is just an example of how "solitary care" has been resolved.

　　　　　

Small interactions with other children and adults are good for both children and parents.

　　　　

Not only the play hall introduced this time, but also for the outside Jabujabu Pond and the like.
I'd like to see you again.
It is recommended not only for those with children outside the city, but also for those with children outside the city.

Get off at Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line and walk Harumi-dori St. for a few minutes toward Kachidokibashi, and it is located in the back of the right (around TSUTAYA).

　　　　

 

 

The other day, I was tears when I saw the performance of Kabuki "Shusanko Sumitagawa" (^^;)

　　

In Shugosumidagawa, a young Umewakamaru is thrown away by buying people.
According to the earphone guide, this was actually the case during the Edo period....
What! ！！ ！(>_<)

　　　　

At the base of Ichiishibashi in Yaesu 1-chome (those who are not Bank of Japan)

The "Ichiishibashi lost stone mark" of the Edo period remains, and it is the Designated Cultural Property of Tokyo.

　　　　

　　　　　

　　　　
The front of the stone mark is engraved as "Mitsuyo Hiko's Shirube", the left side is "Tatsuzuru", and the right side is "Shirasu".
The upper part is a hollow, and the paper is written on the characteristics of the lost child.

　　　　

It seems that there were similar things in Yushima Tenjin, Senso-ji Temple, and Ryogokubashi Hashizume, but this is the only thing that exists.

　　　

　　　　

In the Edo period, I thought that there were many lost children because the information network was not developed as much as it is now, but it was no doubt that such a thing was rampant....(>_<)

　　　　

If you couldn't find it on this stone marker, it seemed that there was a high possibility of buying a person.
I was irresistible to think of the feelings of my parents and children, and I strongly felt that this should not be anywhere in the world.
There are some parts that turn blue when viewed directly, but I want to keep conveying them through these cultural properties without forgetting them.

　　　　　

　　　　
Ichiishibashi has Shozaburo Goto in the north and Goto in the south, Goto Seidensuke's mansion in the shogunate's kimono shop. It is said that it was named.

　　　　

It's a smart naming of Edokko, right?

　　　　

Is the Bank of Japan in the north and the Gofuku Bridge intersection in the south?
It seems that Goto is 90 liters and one stone is 180 liters.

　　　　

　　　　　
It is sung in the opening song of a wolf with a child
"Tego (father) is a thing with a hago (mother) and a child."

　　　　

I think "Kotogoto" is a baby carriage, but considering the origin of the bridge name of Ichiishibashi, "Goto and Goto".
What is it?
And it's too cool. 。 。 I will do my best to raise children p(`, ω, ') q

　　　　

　　　　

Starting with the Kabuki theater, I thought about various things.
There are various tangible and intangible cultural properties in Chuo-ku, so please try walking around the city ^^

The other day, the workplace said that he went to a Kabuki theater show, "The second generation Ukon Ichikawa was very cute and was very fine even though he was six years old."

　　　
I saw Ebizo Ichikawa's blog and Hiromatsu Otani's Twitter show that backstage was introduced here and there, and I was caught in a shot.

　　　　

　　　　
In such a background, I've always thought, "Kabuki seems to have rules to watch, and it's difficult to talk, so I don't understand it," but I wanted to see the cute and intelligent Ukon's first stage Anyway, I took a ticket and went to "Shouju New Year Daikabuki"!

(Reference link → http://www.kabuki-bito.jp/news/3712)

　　　　

　　　　

　　　　
There was almost no ticket until Senakiraku, so there were almost no tickets, so I became a seat at Kabuki's first theater. But there is only 2,000 yen difference from the first class seat, but my feet are stretched, tea is attached, there is a desk, and I can see the expression of the actor as well as sweat! So it was the best

　　　　

What a luxury...

　　　　

A lunch box. It contains red rice for celebration and karaage that Takeru likes.

(I love karaage too!)

　　　　

　　　　

Kabuki is a completely beginner, so this earphone guide was a reassuring item.
Not only the name and synopsis of the actor, but also the props and the background of history in a good time.

You can rent it at the theater.

　　　

　　　
The performance is a story called "Seisei Sumitagawa".
Eventually, it was fun, but on the way I cried about three times with excitement (^^;)

　　　

Umewakamaru, who did not know that he had fallen into a bad guy, thought that he had lost his important scroll, but was sold for a bargain and could not meet his mother....
Sota's intense regret that he did what he did most undesired, even though he had a breath to his important goal....
The sorrow in front of the group woman, even if she tries to hold the phantom of Umewakamaru when she looks for her son, she disappears when she tries to hold the phantom of Umewakamaru....

　　　　　

The sad scene and the cruel frustration were also beautifully expressed, and it was somewhat sad.

　　　　　

　　　　　

Even if it's an old story, people's hearts don't change. It sounded deep.
I wonder if something backed by the actor's enthusiasm and daily training will move the viewer's heart.

While I was an amateur, I felt that it was amazing to keep up with the traditional framework.

　　　　

　　　　　

Not only famous actors who watch on TV, but also those who solidify their sides were wonderful.

I was really angry with the villain's Keikei (^^ I know that "this is a story."...

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　

And after all, the second generation Ukon Ichikawa.
At the age of six, he made a quick change and air ride, and he was a genius with a loud voice.

　　　　　

It is said that Sarunosuke, the role of the group woman, played the same role at the age of nine, and the ride between Sarunosuke, Ukon and his father's right Danji is a wonderful three shot that feels the history and the bond between father and son. I thought it was. I can't keep an eye on my future activities.

　　　　

　　　　　

Kabuki was my first time, and I went alone (laughs), so I was a little nervous.

The theater was kind and I didn't have any trouble, and I was able to teach me how to enjoy the seats next to me, and I was able to fully enjoy it (` ・ ω ・ ・)!

　　　

　　　　
It seems that there are days when you can take care of your child for about 3,000 yen during the theater.

In February, Kankuro Nakamura's son is the first stage at the Kabukiza Theater "Saruwaka Festival February Daikabuki", so I'm looking forward to it.
If you like me up to a few days ago, if you're interested but don't understand and can't go, I recommend you go anyway!

There are only a few remaining in 2016.
Today, I would like to introduce the Ginza bar "CLIPPER" in an adult atmosphere.

　　　　
Located near Kabukiza, behind the alley, one from Showa-dori, it is a secret bar known to those who know it.
The first floor is an organic bar called "Barcos" and the CLIPPER is underground.

　　　　　

　　　　

Let's go down this staircase (^_-)-☆

　　　　　　

　　　　　　
It takes a little courage, but when you open the wooden door, 800! There's a lot of whiskey.
The bartender will greet you with "Welcome!"

　　　　　　

　　　　

　　　　　　
The feature here is:
　Because it is non-smoking, you can fully enjoy the scent of alcohol.
　Usually, at 30 mL per shot, you can drink and compare it little by little at 10 mL.
　"Blind tasting" means that you can challenge handy whiskey.
And so on.
I think it's irresistible for those who like whiskey.

　　　　　　

　　　　　

There are two bartenders who have a lot of knowledge of alcohol.

(Facebook is also detailed and fun.)

　　　　　
Like me (a pine-like lemon heart)...I recommend it casually to people, too.
Weakening alcohol...We will respond to your request every time.

　　　　

　　　　　

"The CLIPPER Christmas Rose Red". Beautiful...And it tastes good (≧ ▽ ≤)
& XO brandy raw chocolate.

If you bring me on a date, I'll fall in love with you~ (far eyes. 。 。）　

　　　　　　　　

Hot caroo milk that was made on a cold day by asking for "warm and weak things".
And the half-boiled feeling of egg is exquisite toast.

　　　　　

　　　　　　

All of them are really nice (' ▽ `*).

I didn't really drink Carre Milk, but I got this one and became a fan at once.
And he remembers what he said, even though he only goes occasionally.
Both of you seem to be the same age as me, but I respect them, "I'm a professional!"

　　　　　

　　　　　　

By the way, this celebrated its 10th anniversary on December 1, 2016.

If you come to the store in December, you will be able to get a 20% discount ticket that can be used from January to February.

　　　　　　

Congratulations

　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　
The bar in Ginza has a high threshold....I thought it was impossible, but I wondered if the vessel was big because of the top class. I escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a while and feel relaxed as if I met an adult quietness and classmates.

　　　　　　

Why don't you take a look back on 2016 at the secret BAR?
I recommend it.
