　In the spring, at Ginza Sakura-dori St., you can appreciate the beautifully blooming `` Yoshino cherry tree '', taste the dishes, and tilt the cup and glass from Ginza 1-chome, Tsukiji Police Station Ginza 1-chome police box to the antenna shop Ibaraki. CAFE BOHEME, ZEST CANTFE, MONON CAFE, MONON

　

　From Chuo-dori, enter the CAFE LA BOHEME of this building.

It's like a cave.

　It will be "exciting feeling" like going to explore these shops.

　

At the shop on the first floor or at the Izakaya Gonpachi on the second floor.

You can enjoy the cherry blossoms of "Yoshino cherry tree" from the inside of the store facing Ginza Sakura-dori St. The full March will be the expiration date of the cherry blossoms.　

And around mid-April, you can enjoy Yae-zakura, such as Sekiyama, where a lot of flowers bloom on Ginza Sakura-dori St.

　By the way, the address of the shop is 1-2-3 Ginza, Chuo-ku.

Let's go and see "1, 2, 3" without hesitation!

 

 

　From the north exit of Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, take the "Edo Bus" of the north circulation. From here, the bus "Harumi Liner" bound for Harumi Triton departs and arrives.

Looking at the bus timetable, the Edo bus runs every 20 minutes.

Before that, I enjoyed the stunning row of cherry blossom trees at Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St., which runs from the north exit of Tokyo Station Yaesu-dori to the Takashimaya area. As of March 23, it was close to full bloom.　

　

Take the bus and buy a one-day ticket of 300 yenya. From inside the car, look at the Yoshino cherry tree of Edo Sakura-dori St., which leads to the head office of the Bank of Japan, Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building, and the bus turn right at JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station.　Here I saw a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers on Edo-dori St., which leads to Bakurocho Station. The lyrics of "Northern Spring" appear in my mind.　

　The bus turns left at Cored Muromachi 1 and passes in front of Bunmeido.　Cherry trees are also planted here, so you can see the cherry blossoms. Looking at Sugimori Shrine to the left and Tokyo Commodity Exchange to the right, the bus goes from Horidome-cho to Kodemmacho. On Edo-dori St. from Kodemmacho to Bakurocho, you can see a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers again.

　Get off at the "Hamacho Station" bus stop in front of Meijiza, slowly see the cherry blossoms at Hamacho Park.　You can enjoy Meijiza-mae and the weeping cherry tree in Hamacho Park from the end of March to the beginning of April.　However, there are also individual differences.

weeping cherry tree was in full bloom.

　Pass through the cherry blossom tunnel on the Hamacho Green Road.

Visiting Suitengu Shrine. Lunch near Royal Park Hotel, Kakigaracho Park, and TCAT.

　Take a stroll to the bus stop "Suitengu-mae" across the road. Re-ride the Edo bus, and the bus passes through Ningyocho Station, Nihonbashi Kumin Center, Shinkawa 1, 2-chome, passes through Kameshima Bridge, Hatchobori, and enters Yaesu Street in front of Ichiyoshi Securities. Enter. Arrived at Chuo-ku government office through Sakurabashi and Shintomi Kumin-mae.　It is a fun cherry blossom viewing trip using the Edo bus.

Even if you get off the bus, look at the red flowers of peach blossoms (Hana Momo) in front of Chuo-ku government office and see them.

I enjoyed the cherry blossoms at Kameibashi Park on a bench and slowly.

Please enjoy the cherry blossom viewing using the Edo bus.

 

 

"Tokyu Plaza Ginza" opened in March 2016, and two years have already passed.

The design of the exterior of the building has become a hot topic that expresses "Edo Kiriko", and I sometimes wanted to drink it with such a fine cut glass.

And the restaurant I wanted to come from before is THE APOLLO.　Located on the 11th floor of the building, Harumi-dori St., Sotobori-dori St. and the Imperial Palace can also be seen, and the view is very wonderful.　The night view will be very nice.

　This is a Greek restaurant.

I learned that healthy Greek dishes made with fresh ingredients and plenty of olive oil, fresh vegetables and seafood are registered in the World Intangible Cultural Property.

For salads, mix olives, tomatoes and cucumbers with a smooth, rich and salty "feta cheese" with a spoon.　This is different from the cheeses of other European countries and is quite exotic.　　Bread is also a little rare.

And it's like "tomato rice using long-grained rice" that you put a little powdered cheese, but that's not the case. It's a Greek pasta.

　Greek pasta is like long grain rice.

　And I saw a bottle of sake called METAXA for the first time in a long time.　I've heard that it was a purveyor of the Greek royal family.

I think the taste was brandy with a taste similar to the French [Almanac].

This time, in the evening, I would like to drink with a glass like Edo Kiriko.

And then

Even if you think, "I want to go to see the Parthenon shrine!", So you can't easily go to Greece, so why don't you feel like traveling here?

　Today, I visited "Ando Shihoten" near the corner of Ginza 5-chome.

There were spring-like cherry blossoms, my favorite Cattleya flower pattern, designs such as "Owl", and cloisonne products depicting famous peak Fuji.

This time, I especially liked the cloisonne product designed by "Aka Fuji", loop tie.

The city walk in Ginza will be more and more fun in the future.

　They were carefully packaged, and in the box, there was a piece of paper indicating the artist's name and a brilliant award.　

With this casual attention, I became more and more fond of "Ando Shihoten".

　＊We received a leaflet describing the production process of Cloisonne.

The technique of the cloisonne was invented by Tsuneyoshi Kaji of Owari Kaifu-gun during the Tenpo era, and the history of the development from the invention of the cloisonne is described.

　

The address of Ando Shiho store is 5-6-2 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, telephone: 03-3572-2261

　Reply: Introducing the artist in the paper pieces I received.

The writer of this cloisonne product is Zentaro Tsuchida, born in Fukui Prefecture in 1939, and holds solo exhibitions mainly in Tokyo and Osaka, including excellence awards and prizes at the International Cloisonne Exhibition.

Currently, he is working mainly on cloisonne accessories.　　

 

 

"Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall" currently has 22 exhibition halls, and it is a very meaningful and study exhibition hall that introduces the area and its long-established stores.　At present, the exhibition hall stamp rally is being held, and I am with the Shochiku Otani Library in Higashiginza.

I went to Tsutaya Shoten in Tsukiji's "Noren / Japanese lantern / Drawing Exhibition Hall" in the photo below.

　At Tsutaya in Tsukiji, he told us that the cut bags sold by the store were written on a drawstring bag made by Takatora in Nihonbashihamacho.

It was a wonderful story about working together to make better things.

　There is a restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Odawara Bridge Building, "Tsukiji Fish Bank", but I thought it was open from morning to lunch.

Since November 2017, we have also been open at night from 17:00 to 22:00.

There are three shops: "Uokawagan Seafood", "Torito", and "Izakaya Tamotsu Oda".

　The menu of "Tsukiji Fish Bank Seafood", which has delicious fresh and boiled fish, is available.

Mr. Torito's menu is

　

The menu of "Izakaya Tamotsu Oda" is available.

　Now, like a food court, if you share what you ordered at three stores and eat it with your friends, it will be exciting.　Please go out.

The address is 6-26-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and the 3rd floor of Tsukiji Uogawagishi Building.

I got a business card for "Tsukiji Fish Bank Seafood". The store's telephone number is 03-6278-8170.
