[Mido] August 6, 2014 16:00

 

Commemorating Momoko Sakura's 30th anniversary of her debut at Nihonbashi Takashimaya
The exhibition will be held.
I'm familiar with "Chibi Maruko-chan", but it was warm.
It is characterized by a unique illustration. In addition to producing a number of works, he is also involved.
As an essay, lyricist, scriptwriter, and translator
It's spread out.

  

The exhibition looks back on Momoko Sakura's past creative activities.
Approximately 130 original drawings and related items are also on display.
There is also a merchandise shop corner to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its debut.
In addition to original goods, Momoko Sakura goods are also sold.
It's done.

Ningyocho Cup Sake and Canned Bar "Kiha"

[Mido] July 10, 2014 09:00

A maniac standing bar I happened to find. The place is Ningyocho Station
It's about 5 minutes on foot, but it's hard to understand.
The signboard inspired by the JR East station name card is a landmark.
You can laugh that the front station is bare (Shirafu) and the next station is Chidori foot.
Opened in 2006, this shop mainly consists of canned food and cup sake.
It seems to be famous for railway fans. A celebrity's signature colored paper on the wall
It was raised. From the entrance to the toilet, all railway tracks
It's finished.

 

By the way, when you enter the store, only men will receive an entrance fee of 500 yen (transfer fee).
It will be. The entrance fee came out as a mini-saw with cheese.
Sage. I thought it would be a little expensive as a whole, but I thought
It was a junky taste and it was delicious.
tidbits's recommendation is a conbeef called "marriage hunting".
It's fried canned (500 yen). As it is when it is taken out of canned food
It's fried with clothes. (It's wild~!)

 

The store is divided into the first floor (car No. 1) and the second floor (car No. 2). Car No. 1 is available.
Car No. 2, which specializes in standing drinking, is designed to resemble a train car.
It looks like a commuter train with a long sheet, hanging leather and cargo shelves.
(It is also possible to charter car No. 2 at parties, etc.)
The store is decorated with various railway parts and railway models, and "Tetsu-chan"
I think it's a nice space.

Golf Driving Range "E.I. Golf City"

[Mido] June 19, 2014 09:00

There is also a golf driving range in Chuo Ward ... but it's "indoor"
It's a practice area. It is located on the first basement floor of the building next to the long-established hotel Kazusaya.
My name is E.I. Golf City. E is Enjoy (fun), I is
It is said that it represents innovation.

 

When you actually enter the practice area, the latest simulation machine will be installed.
Someone is taking a lesson.
The simulation machine allows you to check the head speed and trajectory with images.
You can check your own swing in the video.
In addition, take care of your tired body and massage before practice here.
You can get it.
Lending clubs and shoes are also available, so it took a little time.
I'm grateful to be able to practice at any time.

Chopstick specialty store "Ginza Natsuno"

[Mido] May 15, 2014 09:00

 

For Japanese people, chopsticks are eaten as soon as they are born.

I use chopsticks for the first time, and when I die, I cremate and pick up my bones with chopsticks.

I think it's a tool that can be used for a lifetime.

 
This time, "Ginza Natsuno" is a shop specializing in chopsticks, about 2,000 types.
Chopsticks are lined up, and it looks like a museum of chopsticks.
"Takaga chopsticks, but chopsticks" ~ Feel the depth of chopsticks with your skin.
You can do it.

The interior of the store has a "Japanese atmosphere" and has a very calm mood.
For pasta, grilled fish, chopsticks for mixing natto, etc.
There was also something unique.
The price is reasonable at 300 yen, and it costs 150,000 yen.
That's all right.
Materials such as wooden, glass and pottery chopsticks and high-grade ivory.
There are a lot of things.
Chopsticks made using traditional techniques such as Wajima-Nuri, Tsugaru-Nuri, and Wakasa-Nuri.
I think it may be a gift.

The shop gave me such advice.
In order to use your favorite chopsticks for a long time, daily care is important.
It seems that draining water is the trick to last long. Wooden chopsticks
When the oil of the wood becomes whitish, a small amount of olive oil
I think it's a good idea.

Why are there no skyscrapers in Ginza?

[Mido] March 5, 2014 14:00

Ginza does not have much tall buildings compared to other areas in Tokyo.
Do you notice it? "Ginza Design Rules" in the Ginza area
The building was decided to be up to 56 meters.
There is no skyscraper because there is no skyscraper.
Under this rule, buildings and signboards detract the image of Ginza.
It is said that there is no such thing.
That's why the city looks like Shiodome and Marunouchi, where high-rise buildings stand in the forest.
It's very different.

 

In fact, in 2003, it was nearly 200 meters by Matsuzakaya and Mori Building.
It seems that a super high-rise building plan was proposed in Ginza.
However, in order to protect the liveliness of the "Ginza-like" town, there is a shopping street.
"Ginza Design Rules" above, considering local rules
That's right.

This is a book written by Eriko Takezawa, "Why is a super high-rise in Ginza?"
Is there a building-Regional Rules Created by the Town" (Heibonsha Shinsho)
It's introduced.
How the shopping streets are united and about the future of companies, governments and cities.
What did you talk about? Creating a city that can also be used as a reference to shopping streets nationwide
This is a book that introduces you.
