Last week I saw a wonderful and rare okame cherry tree in an unexpected place.

Walking around the area of "Kami Shigeru" in Nihonbashi.

Ajisai-dori St. A dark pink okame cherry blossoms are blooming on both sides.

I'm sure it's in full bloom next week.

I thought I knew the area near the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store.

I've never known that there is Okamezakura on Ajisai-dori St.

I asked the master of "Mikado Coffee" who went to drink coffee.

It seems to have been around for a long time.

When it comes to plants, I was quite confident, but this time I am surprised.

A passing woman also said that it is rare for a kind of cherry blossom to bloom so much.

And every time I meet people, I recommend the Okamezakura on Ajisai-dori St.

Okame cherry blossoms are cherry blossoms that were crossed by British Ingram in 1947 with Mamezakura and Edhigan.

It blooms downward. The name is wonderful, isn't it?

I went to Sasaki Shoten, which was introduced on TV last year.

I'm going to miss it after passing by,

I didn't know until I read the "Ginza History Walk Map".

Ryusei Kishida is in "Shinko Hosoku Ginza-dori"

"Tsuyabukin's Sasaki is, of course, old, every year seven herbs have a Dai-Kagura in this shop.

It was used to come to see it, and I went to Sasaki every year on the night of seven herbs. "

I also bought "Tsuyafukin".

It looks like a yellow towel, but it seems to be good to use it to polish wood products such as pipes from the Meiji era.

It seems that there are still orders from all over the country.

Sasaki Shoten is a long-established smoking equipment that was founded in 1868.

It is said that there is no one who is a pipe enthusiast.
