Correspondent-only tour "Brother Tokyo Showroom Visit Meeting"

[Edamame] May 31, 2017 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


But this time it's not an article with children.

With the cooperation of family members, it will be held on weekdays morning.

We have participated in a tour limited to correspondents of the tourist association.

Click here for the destination.

DSC_1186-1.jpg

Thank you for visiting the Brother Tokyo Showroom.

IMG_2729-1.jpg

The location is very close to Kyobashi.

It's next to Tokyo Square Garden.


First of all, I would like to talk about the history of the company.

(Because the head office is Nagoya, he came all the way from there. Thank you very much. 

IMG_2704-1.jpg

Brother, a sewing machine! It's an image.

The birth of a domestic sewing machine is from here.

However, the current company's mainstay is digital office equipment.

IMG_2707-1.jpg

It is necessary to make molds necessary for sewing machines.

What is it because I was able to use it to create detailed prints for typewriters.

Furthermore, the business development of the karaoke “JOYSOUND” developed from network technology.

IMG_2720-1.jpg

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be connected, but in fact, the roots of technology are the same.

I am looking forward to seeing how our business development will progress in the future.


What surprised me in the story was the color of Brother's printer.

It seems that they only make white or black.

The reason is "consideration for the environment."

The reason is that adding other colors = the hassle of painting = also leads to environmental impact.

IMG_2714-1.jpg

Certainly, our printer (made by Brother) is also white!

I thought it was simple and good.

For the first time, I learned that there was a reason.

Well, from here, the experience corner!

1: Embroidered with a sewing machine on the hand towel.

http://www.brother.co.jp/product/hsm/embropc/index.htm

・・・ This is a challenge for Edamame who has not used a sewing machine since home economics class in the first year of high school.

I thought it would be okay, but what is the current sewing machine?

It's all written on the machine with a number on where to put the thread ...

At the same time, the machine also does the needle through the thread ... ! !

In fact, the so-called "garden goods" when my daughter Azuki goes to kindergarten.

I heard rumors that they are often required to be handmade.

I was so clumsy that I was afraid two years away.

I think I can still do this! It's excellent enough to think for a moment.

It was fun to choose various patterns of embroidery.

(I would like to post a photo, but I made it with the "real name" of Azuki ... I'm sorry ((+_+)))

No. 2: Making a craft card.

Put a group photo of today's participants on a postcard.

Let's decorate it.

First of all, it's the appearance of label sealing equipment.

IMG_2716-01.jpg

http://www.brother.co.jp/product/labelwriter/index.htm

I think label stickers also have a strong image of "office supplies".

There's also a Disney mount.

There are a lot of things that are cute and want to use.

It is designed to print a lot of cute patterns even on the machine.

Recently, transparent bottles and storage cases sold at 100 yen shops have been sold.

It is said that the number of people who enjoy decoration and enjoy it is also increasing.

With the correspondents sitting on the same table

I was having fun working with you.


And here's what I was most surprised.

It's a machine called "Scan Cut".

IMG_2728-1.jpg

http://www.brother.co.jp/product/hsm/cm/product/index.htm

When I was a company employee, I wanted one in the office! !I thought it was a clumsy edamame.

(I was a clumsy person who was always having trouble decorating at the event.)

It is a cutting machine that allows you to cut paper and cloth into your favorite shape without using scissors or cutters.

There are many patterns built into machines.

If you specify "this shape in this size", it will cut it neatly.

Of course, you can also take in the illustrations and photos you wrote yourself with a scanner and cut them out.

Even if I'm clumsy ...

IMG_2730-1.jpg

It was so beautiful!

It was a really fun experience.

It was also a good opportunity to chat with other correspondents.

I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.


For town walk tours organized by Chuo-ku Tourism Association

In this way, there seems to be something that bothers showrooms and companies in the city.

This year's recruitment is like the future, so be sure to check the information.

Well. May 14th (Sun).

It's raining somehow.

You don't have to wear a raincoat today!

Azuki, a daughter wearing a short coat following yesterday.

MAH00351(1)-1.jpg

Today, I am satisfied with hitting the drums of the floats before the start.

DSC_1119-1.jpg

My older brothers and sisters were also playing happily.


And 10 o'clock. Departure!

20170514100750(1)-1.jpg

Children portable shrine is full of energy!

20170514100750(2)-1.jpg

It's because it's after the rain.

I felt that there were more children participating in the floats than yesterday.

20170514100750(3)-1.jpg

I walked longer than yesterday, when it was raining.

Do you have any memories of yesterday? One year old, I did my best.

My mother held the rope together yesterday, and she was

Today I was able to hold the rope by myself and walk by myself.

Everything leads to experience and growth.

And yesterday they were children wearing raincoats.

Today, everyone is wearing a matching half-wearing.

After all, it's good. This scenery.

And after having lunch, before Meijiza.

"Nihonbashi Five Club District" to which the Hamasan Eastern Town Association also belongs.

There is a Union carrying of miniature shrines.

10 town councils and 9 portable shrines are lined up and are spectacular.

Of course, portable shrine of our Hamasan Eastern Town Association also appears!

20170514124352(1)-1.jpg

There are many people and it's very crowded! That's why Azuki sees on his dad's shoulder.

I was surprised, but the sound of drums and the gorgeousness of portable shrine.

It seemed to be nailed to a smaller one.

MAH00357(1)-1.jpg


After that, Azuki played in Hamacho Park in half-wearing.

DSC_1125-1.jpg

Not only azuki, but also children playing in festival costumes.

There were a lot in the park.


There will be a festival of this scale two years later.

At that time, Azuki was a young child in kindergarten.

What kind of child do you have?

I wish I could join with more friends next time.

I'll be even more fun.

It was late afternoon Sunday when I was thinking about such things.

DSC_1127-1.jpg


※In writing the article, to the chairman of the Hamasan Tobu Town Association and other officers.

 Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

 We look forward to seeing you in the future.

Series: 1 year old, first Kanda festival! ③On a rainy Saturday, imperial procession Town and Shinko Festival

Well, May 13th (Sat).

Finally the highlight of Kanda festival

The day when the "Kamiko Festival", a festival procession of Kanda Myojin, is held.

Even at Hamasan Eastern Town Association where I live

It's the day when the adult portable shrine, Children's portable shrine and floats come out.

Unfortunately, the weather is nice.

When I went to borrow a half-wearing for my daughter Azuki the day before

I heard that children sometimes didn't do it if the rain was too bad.

I was a little worried.

It was still in the morning.

Azuki, who was preparing in a half-wearing from morning

DSC_1113-1.jpg

Wear a raincoat on top of it and head to the meeting place.

※It looks great! It is probably secret that there is a stupid who took a picture.

Children's floats are on standby at the meeting place.

DSC_1115-1.jpg

It is decorated with wisteria flowers and is gorgeous!

With the child portable shrine

DSC_1116-1.jpg

Adult portable shrine is on standby now.

DSC_1118-1.jpg


And 11:00 a.m. It's finally time to start!

MVI_2689(1)-1.jpg

I went around in a shortened version, but surprisingly I was impressed that even a one-year-old child would walk.

My mother was frightened to start running in a ridiculous direction.

It may be because there are older brothers and older sisters around them.

He was walking hard with a rope with his small hands.

And even after I got a snack souvenir and went home

"I'm going to do it."

Azuki recreated the sound of the drums of the floats.

You may have liked it very much.

Actually, there were times when I departed at 13 o'clock.

It's getting worse and worse, so it's closed.

Instead, my mother had something I really wanted to see.

I've got rid of it.

It is the festival procession "Kamiko Festival" of Kanda Myojin.

Depart from Kanda Myojin at 8:20 in the morning until returning to 19:00

Gods ride on the splendid portable shrine all over the shrine parishioner area.

Because it will come close to my home

I want to see it at a glance.

Just before 3 p.m., the point of the course is standby.

Even in the town council, for God

IMG_2690-1.jpg

They serve sake and rice cakes and welcome you.


And finally the arrival of the line!

MVI_2692(3)-1.jpgMVI_2692(2)-1.jpg

It's gorgeous and sparkle.

It was a very nice line with portable shrine.

If it hadn't rained, the costume would surely have been well seen.

Because of this weather, everyone is from the top of the raincoat. I'm sorry.

Let's look forward to 2 years later.


And if it is true, I leave Arima Elementary School near 15:00.

There was also a glamorous procession called "Appendix Festival"

In the rain, it's a good idea to pull the hand of azuki with an umbrella holding and go to see it.

Abandoned thinking that it would be tough if it was more than that.

I'm looking forward to it again! I'm thinking about it.

Series: 1 year old, first Kanda festival! ②Countdown until the day

Apply for a half-wearing rental of the Neighborhood Association.

I was getting a little festive feeling.

If you do so, you can see the state of the city becoming "festival specifications".

Sunday, May 7 A week before Kanda festival.

DSC_1097-1.jpg

On the street is a yellow flag with the word "Honsai Kanda festival."

DSC_1098-1.jpg

The banner of "Kanda Myojin Festival" is also at Ohiro Shrine in the town.

DSC_1096-1.jpg

I feel that the names of the donors have also increased.


May 9 (Tuesday). If you were walking around Ningyocho for errands.

DSC_1100-1.jpg

・・'All the World Flag!

But that's also a lively atmosphere.


And finally, May 12th (Fri).

The next day is the day when the festival procession "Shinko Festival" is also held.

Hamacho Park, which always brings her daughter Azuki.

DSC_1108-1.jpg

It is decorated by the neighborhood association next door.

And...

DSC_1111-1.jpg

I've borrowed my daughter Azuki's half-wearing and obi!

The size (including 90 cm) is also supposed to be written at the time of application.

The size is also perfect.

And they were distributed to all the children

A guard tag lowered from your neck.

It's a bit nice to have this.

This is the perfect preparation for the next day! That's right.


That's right. Speaking of preparation.

This is the most useful thing to enjoy the first Kanda festival.

This is the free paper "Nihonbashi Goyomi".

IMG_2694-1.jpg

The May issue is a special feature of Kanda festival.

Explanation of terms and descriptions that can be understood by people for the first time.

The state of the previous festival

And the route of the festival procession

A map with the approximate scheduled passage time was also posted.

It was very easy to see and understand!

If you have this, how long and where to go?

It's easy to set up a schedule.

As a matter of fact, my husband grew up in an area that has nothing to do with festivals.

I couldn't imagine the festival at all.

So, in this special feature, "It's such a great thing!"

I was surprised at the scale and glamorousness.

http://www.nihonbashi-tokyo.jp/enjoy/feature/201705/


"Nihonbashi Goyomi" has many interesting articles every month other than Kanda festival.

 It's a good reading.

 And the publisher "Machi Nihonbashi" site is also recommended with plenty of information.

Series: 1 year old, first Kanda festival! ①How do you participate?

[Edamame] May 16, 2017 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

I also talked a little bit about the program of Chuo FM that I visited the other day.

http://fm840.jp/blog/hello/2017/05/08/22187

I actually lived near Yushima Tenjin when I was little.

So at the festival in patron saint of academics

I was pulling the floats of the neighborhood association in a yukata.

You can hit the drums of floats or walk with your friends.

It's a nostalgic and fun memory.

・・Time flows ...

What did our family move about a year ago?

The area of Hamasan Eastern Town Association, the shrine parishioner of Kanda Myojin.

And this year is the main festival of Kanda Myojin.

It's a very grand festival once every two years.

Because I moved to this area

I want my daughter Azuki to experience the festival properly!

That was the secret hope of my mother, Edamame.

But when I was little, how do I participate?

I didn't know the part of "how" because it was a round throw to my parents.

I found a festival poster on the bulletin board.

DSC_1129-1.jpg

What should I do? Where should I ask? And

He was spending his time with a haze.

(... maybe you like this, too

Isn't there a lot in this area? ? I think so.

That's why I decided to write this article.

Hamacho area, condominium construction rush with great momentum recently.

There are a lot of new residents like me.

Then one day in late April.

There's such a letter on the bulletin board of the apartment.

IMG_2564-1.jpg

About the application for the neighborhood association's half coat.

When participating in the portable shrine, Children's portable shrine and Floats of Hamasan Eastern Town Association

You need to apply in advance.

For adults, 500 yen per sheet. In addition, it is a rule to prepare tabi.

Children are free of charge. Shoes are also free!

This year's application deadline was until April 26.

However, even though she is two years old, she is still a little girl.

As a matter of fact, I wonder if you can pull the floats ... If you are worried

It was the deadline for application.

I asked the condominium manager about the procedure in a hurry.

"I wish you could write your name in the application column below the posted notice."

It is a system that organizes in a condominium and submits it to the Neighborhood Association.

・・・ Nobody wrote the name as of the day before the day before.

Perhaps they had all pulled in their hands?

It's important to listen with courage.



I tend to overlook it

In the case of condominium residents, the condominium management association should join the neighborhood association.

You should always get information on the bulletin board.

After mid-April (if not, you should check it).

Never see the bulletin board of the apartment! Let's keep it as a secret word.

That's why Azuki (1-year-old child) applied for it barely slipped.

Kanda festival, this is the first time to participate!

~ Continue~


※I think that there are places where the procedure differs depending on the neighborhood association and the apartment where you live.

Please confirm with each neighborhood association and manager of apartment, management union.

 

 

Actually, a fish lunch of "Nihonbashi Suminoei" which is very friendly to children.

[Edamame] May 10, 2017 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

 

I went to Cored Muromachi a while ago.

There was a shop where my husband said, "I'm worried about this shop."

It is located on the second floor of Choredo Muromachi 1.

My name is Suminoe Nihonbashi.

It looks like they are baking fish with charcoal fire seen from outside the shop

And with the sound of the word "primitive ware" on the menu

It seemed to have been quite nailed.

But... the atmosphere is a barber

My daughter, Azuki, who is two years old in one month.

I love fish and Japanese food.

So it might be okay as a menu, but it's okay

Even though it's lunch time

Can you accept it at this age? And

I was a little anxious.

I decided to go there.

 

First of all, check with the clerk.

With a smile

・Entering in a stroller OK

・If you sit in a chair, you can use it as an adult chair.

 Attach a "thick cushion" or attach it.

 You can choose whether to attach a "meal chair with a belt"

That's right.

Even if children's chairs are ready

There are many restaurants that don't have chairs with belts, so I'm grateful!

DSC_1057-1.jpg

Even if you are a child smaller than azuki, you can sit safely with a belt.

Of course, there are small mugs for children, especially plates and cutlerys for children.

With this, you can go out with peace of mind.

 

Suddenly I looked up

DSC_1055-1.jpg

It is a shop that reproduces the atmosphere of the fish market.

DSC_1056-1.jpg

According to the shop's brochure, it seems to be conscious of the Tsukiji market.

I think that the fish market was originally located in Nihonbashi.

I have something very interesting.

 

Well, today's order is

DSC_1059-1.jpg

I have "Today's Fresh Fish Boiled Gozen".

This is 1000 yen! It's a great sense of volume.

The contents of "simmered" are made by slowly and softly boiling the fish ara part and radish.

The taste is also shy.

Moreover, rice is OK.

There are also two small bowls. It's a great deal.

Miso soup also has radish and carrots.

Not only modern adults suffering from vegetable shortages, but also

I am also grateful to mothers who are worried about how to eat vegetables when eating out.

This miso soup radish and carrot can be eaten separately.

I don't know how much fish can be eaten by azuki.

DSC_1060-1.jpg

I'll also order "Salmon Halas" as a single item.

 

Here's my husband.

DSC_1062-1.jpg

"Priginal Yaki Gozen Nishin Ipponyaki"

・・Isn't it such a big fish? I was surprised.

Osako power, right?

There is also a dashi soup stock, so it can be used like ochazuke.

It's good to be delicious twice a time.
 

What is "primitive ware" in the first place? According to the shop's brochure.

"It is the wisdom of old life that regulates the heating by the distance between charcoal fire and pottery.

The origin of the name is that it is the most primitive baking method.

Because it is baked around the charcoal using "radiant heat", it not only gives a beautiful brown color.

Since the fat of the fish does not fall into the charcoal and there is no smoke, you can enjoy the fresh condensed taste without being smoked ... "

That's right.

Certainly, it's soft. It's a delicious grilled fish.

The salmon Halas is also very fatty and delicious.

Azuki was very excited to eat a bite.

 
It's a nice shop for children than I imagined, and I'm very satisfied.

I was often worried about eating out with children in my recent home and tending to be biased toward Western food menus.

It was a good discovery with a wide range of menus.
