It has already bloomed

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] February 23, 2016 16:00

There are rows of cherry blossom trees along the Sumida River, and blooms as expected at the end of March.
This cherry tree blooms early every year. It blooms about a week or two early.
This year, 2/13 2/14 recorded temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius.
It seems to be earlier than usual, probably because there were many warm days.

The place is on the lower side of Eitai Bridge Nishikawa. Please refer to the map.
If you want to see the cherry blossoms early, please come here.
It's going to be scattered in mid-March.

By the way, the one that is well known for cherry blossoms is Ginza Kimuraya's cherry blossom anpan.
The other day, I experienced making this cherry blossom anpan. It seems that this is the first time for such an event.
Even if you say "making cherry blossom anpan", the dough and bean are already divided into one piece.
The main content of the experience is to wrap the bean in dough and put the salted cherry blossoms.

I couldn't do it as expected, but I was instructed and managed to take shape.

I've got a delicious anpan.
The dough is made from sake yeast instead of yeast, and has a scent similar to sake lees.
I did it. Azuki beans are carefully selected around Tokachi, Hokkaido.
It's an elegant taste.

There was a factory in Kimuraya in Ginza, and it was baked in about 2 hours.

It is Kimuraya's factory, but about 50 years ago, Tsukiji (currently Tsukiji River Park side)
I remember that there was a factory.
I missed my childhood and remembered it.
