Rest place coffee and luxury space

[Asunaro] June 17, 2016 09:00

Chuo-ku, the city where coffee shops were born for the first time in Japan.

Third-wave coffee is also good, but after all.
It's an old-fashioned coffee shop that calms down.

In addition, there is an episode, and in that space.
Just stay, I will be happy.

Opened in Ginza in 1979. John Lennon and Mrs. Yoko Ono.
It is famous as a shop that I visited.

For the child that the two are in the "flower of the tree"
A note (handwritten) written to the hire driver who kept waiting.
It hangs casually on the wall beside the entrance.

 "Cafe Paulista,"

Opened in Ginza in 1911. A long-established store that has been in business for 105 years.
The historical shops include literary artists, poets, painters, musicians, and businessmen.
It's said that there were many people who had come through.

"Drinking" Brazilian coffee "in Ginza" means "silver Bra"
There is also a theory that it is etymology, and you can get such a silver bra certificate.

 

Walking around the city of Ginza, a coffee shop that continues to offer the same taste.
There are a lot of things.

Why don't you enjoy the special cup and atmosphere?

Ginza at the opening night

[Asunaro] June 1, 2016 16:00

There are 24 galleries from Ginza 4-chome to 8-chome.
The "Night Party of the Gallery" is an event that opens all at once from evening to night.

 

I participated in a tour of the gallery led by a guide.

I went around the four galleries efficiently and touched on various contexts.

Expectations for young artists from the gallery.

The skills and passion of the artist who responds to it.

Creating a periodical space that ranges from newcomers to the masterpieces of the late writer.

A commitment to maintaining Japanese art from a global perspective.

And they are works and products.

For example, kakejiku in Hoitsu Sakai is sold for 500,000 yen.

Sometimes I can meet works that I see at the museum.

There are also hands-on works.

It was about 2 hours in a flash, but
It was an exciting night with casual enjoyment and new discoveries.

 
A map is posted on the following site.

If you are interested, please check the gallery schedule.
Please use it together.
