The long-awaited Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Grand Festival

The festival is held every three years.
It was scheduled for 2011 last year, but was postponed due to the effects of the earthquake and it was this year (2012).

I can see the new headquarters portable shrine this year, and the people of the town will feel more than usual this year.

This is the poster for this year. I wanted you to see it at a glance.

Majestic and beautiful for the new octagonal portable shrine.

The poster for each festival is really wonderful.

I'm looking forward to the next time.

 

Departure for the head office Kachidoki Imperial Palace in portable shrine

I'm always impressed by the appearance.

Now the foundation of life is
I think many people have left Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi, and return to this festival. I'm one of them.

When I was a child, I started with floats and joined the adult community in portable shrine and Dai portable shrine.
I really liked the atmosphere a few days before the festival.
Above all, the best drum for the three days of the festival. In the tranquility of the morning, the drums approach the most from the distance, wake up with the sound of a down, and it is only the morning of the three days that you can feel tight even while you sleep.
I miss you.

I've been getting older, but I've been carrying it again this year.

First of all, portable shrine. Thanks to the shout of "Soiya" to taste the feeling that the steps are united.

The water is vigorous and can be breathed as expected, but I do not usually use it, but the word "super pleasant!" is perfect.

On the way, drinks, watermelons, cucumbers, dumplings, fried chicken, etc. are all exceptional after they are served deliciously. Thank you for your dinner. Thank you very much.

 

August 6 Tour of portable shrine Town Headquarters

A lot of people who want to play a new octagon

I feel like it.

I was crazy about it

It was a very good time.

I was glad to carry a little nose stick.

 

Traditional Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Grand Festival I want to keep watching it from now on.

 

 

One day I didn't have time to eat lunch while I was traveling, I bought an egg sandwich at a convenience store and rushed into my mouth on a bench and put my cheeks.
"Ah, I want to eat egg sandwiches!"

I thought about it.
You may think you can always eat as much egg sandwiches as you like, but ordinary egg sandwiches have a rough amount of eggs.
Do you have any thoughts about such a timing?

In such a case, I happened to be a special feature of all evening news on Nippon Television.
What a huge volume of sandwiches were introduced.

The egg sand is also reflected there.
I saw it from the middle, so I only knew Ginza, but apparently I knew it was behind the Kabukiza Theater, and this would have no choice but to go.

On that day, I was late to go to the shop due to a sudden thunderstorm and it was at two o'clock.
I was worried that the shop was doing this time, but I was doing it.
The take-out sandwich has already been sold out. Anyway, when I opened the door to enter, I entered the shop.
There are only a few customers. After the peak has passed, go to the 4-person table guided.
A cushion (?) on the chair The cushions are laid all over the seats and can be relaxed.
The atmosphere gives a greater sense of expectation. I did it slowly.
Is your husband from Saga, and posters on the walls and ceilings are full of Saga Prefecture's high school baseball and Saganoka.

I don't know the closing time, but I'm not sure if it's just the day I went.
"It's until three o'clock, is that okay? And now, the beef stew is over."
(It's good in my heart, I've been aiming for egg sand today, so beef stew is again.)
It's an hour.
I ordered milk tea for the egg sandwich you want. I came here for a while!

Volume more than you can imagine. There will be two ordinary cups of tea, too. Because it's bread, it's nice to have plenty of drinks.
Salad, corn soup, sandwich, tea

The cold drinks from the other seats were as good as they were.

I came very little in the morning for this day with very little stomach, so I first held my ends with both hands and felt how large I opened my mouth.

The eggs inside are just spilled as you can see in the picture, and eggs full of mouth! The bread is fluffy, and even the mimi is soft.
Salad is very popular again. It is straddled on the potato salad, and the potato salad contains apples and is delicious. Salad alone is enough.

On TV, a woman commented, "Eating doesn't reduce it."
I thought it wouldn't decrease even if I eat it ...
But I was licking it.
Yes, that's right. It's definitely decreasing, but it's not decreasing much because of the feeling of eating. This may have been eaten for 20 minutes.
I didn't leave much to leave, and I thought about taking out for a moment, but no, the long-awaited sandwich of American.

For the rest, peel off the top bread, eat only mimi first, or attach it to a corn soup to add bread.
I enjoyed the fluffy bread by adding the ingredients to the peeled bread, and I got the bread with plenty of the remaining ingredients in a canappe style. I did it well with a bisco like this, is it only me?

I enjoyed it deliciously.

And finished food
I was satisfied and somehow a sense of accomplishment.
It was really delicious! I'm satisfied! Your husband's spirit is wonderful. Thank you for your dinner.
It seems to be open only on weekdays (morning time: 7: 30-11: 00), is the closing time earlier?
When I went around 4 o'clock the other day, there was a sign that it closed today.

I'm thinking of finding a chance and going back again. I'm looking forward to it.

A strawberry sweets specialty store in Kyoto opened in Ginza, so I like strawberries.
I went right away.

I'm attracted to it just because it's a strawberry sweets specialty store~
Especially women like strawberries.
It's a bright red, sweet and sour, cute fruit, and I don't think it's the only one who gets it if you have a small strawberry pattern.

It just opened in Ginza 6-chome in February 2012.

Magazan de phrase

A signboard with a color that resembles strawberry milk on a white door. There are also accessories shops around them, so when I passed in front, I thought it was an accessory shop.
When I opened the door of such a wonderful shop, I was honestly surprised at the small size of the shop. It's 4 tsubo.

I purchased it on this day.

Strawberry omelet (¥315) ・

Matcha macaron (¥315) ・

Strawberry and butterfly macaron cake (¥651)

Matcha macaron has a taste of matcha, and macaron cake has a refreshing citron cream.

Strawberry omelet reminded me of a nostalgic Western confectionery shop with a firm sponge and cream.

To take it to a friend's presentation for the second time

I bought some baked goods.

(I chose it by the shop.)

 

It was sold out when I came before

There was a strawberry sakura mochi, so I bought it and went home.

Simple but cute sweets like a picture book, a little price ...

That's the case.

If your wallet permits you, strawberry jam, baked goods, ramune, etc.
I wanted to taste it little by little.

Nadeshiko Japan's director Sasaki is advised by his wife and says that it is better to try to take care of nose hair for grooming.

I am also interested in that information

The shop you have inquired.

Founded in 1792　

Mr. Kiya, Nihonbashi

KIYA Original Nosal Harvest Varican Rotary Cut (¥2,310)

Have you been calming down this year?

And a present to the other party on Valentine's Day

I'll try

On the day of Valentine's Day

When I went to Nihonbashi Kiya Honten, I had everything left and made a reservation. It's very popular.

Please make a reservation and contact us at a later date.
The shop carefully taught me how to care for it.
I realized again that care is important for tools. If you use it carefully, you can use it comfortably for a long time. I also purchased hand oil for care.

The other person who usually cuts his nose hair with scissors, convinced that he was able to cut it, and looked at the mirror.

KIYA's nose hair varican rotary cut!　　I was delighted with the smooth cut.

How about a gift for your husband or father?

 

 

 

 

Then, on the way to Ginza Inns, we passed Nihonbashi and went to Ginza.

The movie "Kirin's Tsubasa-Theatrical Version, Newcomers-" is popular.

The person taking the picture stands out.

We arrived at Ginza Inns near 3 o'clock and had a very late lunch.

Shops that have been crowded these days　

It is spaghetti & curry "Japone" on the 1st floor of Ginza Ins.

It is also famous as a shop with many lines.

Regular (Normal) and Jumbo (Omori) and on top of it are Yokozuna and master

So, even if you are a regular president, you can eat it, and how much is your master? I'd like to see it.

It was 3 o'clock, so I thought it would be a little okay, and I was still in line.

I was so hungry that I thought it was a great success today, but I had half the time to eat, so I'm a regular mentaiko! （￥550）

Put ￥550 in your pocket and go back to the line so that you can pay immediately. Most men are at first

I'm sorry, but now I don't mind it.

It's the taste of Japanese, "Spaghetti", because it's a nostalgic taste.

It's cheap, delicious and voluminous, so let's make it a big success this time!

 

 

　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　A pleasant day with the sunshine in the afternoon
I wanted to go after the same time.

I went to the tea room Ginza Sato.　　　　　　

The shop is on the first basement floor of the building behind Matsuzakaya.

For the first time, it was nervous to bother alone, and I felt that the stairs leading to the shop were strangely long.
(I found on the way home, but there is an elevator.)
At the moment I opened Sato's sliding door, I felt the clear air in the bright store at once and felt relaxed.
The owner Sasa and his wife welcomed me with a smile.
Have you known each other for a long time? I think it's　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I became more and more relaxed with a warm conversation.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Sit in the counter seat, what shall I do?

 

Personally, I drink Makinohara tea.

This is my husband's recommendation.
"Satsuma no Hikari (Kagoshima)" (with Japanese sweets) ¥ 1,575.

In the first and second roasts, there was a difference in taste depending on the temperature and brewing method of hot water, so I received the first roast measured with an hourglass.
Feel deep and powerful, drink a bite and "delicious!"

The second roast was refreshing, but the taste with a core, and slowly I enjoyed up to the fifth roast.
It is important to put only one drop in the hot water. My home is a tea that I usually use, but now I have learned and put it in.

I was very worried about the second time.

"Cream Anmitsu" (homemade) Wife's handmade (with crude tea) ¥1,575
Thank you very much. What is ice color? I'm thrilled to me who like cream anmitsu.
The shiratama is soft, the refreshing sweetness is the quicker way to carry the delicious agar to your mouth, and it is a quicker meal.

Next time, I was looking forward to making warabi mochi or zenzai.

 

"That's the sleeves, but the other's edge,"

Even if Sato goes alone, conversations with Mrs. and Mrs. Sasa, and husbands.　
You can enjoy conversations with other customers as if you were in between nature.

"We're another game cafe," he said.
A unique expression invites laughter. I was able to talk with people who have been working in Ginza for decades, and it was fresh to teach me various things. Sajin, where people who love Ginza gather.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of encounters I have next time.

 

Not only in the store, but also the dressing room calms down, and seasonal flowers are displayed and relieved.
On Sato's homepage, it was written that it was imagined as a "modern tea room".
I was convinced that this calm mood and comfort came from here.
I feel like you have taught me how to build my heart and hospitality. Two days later, a photo taken inside the store arrived at the house.
I was surprised to have a good smile, though I said myself. Is this also a skill that Sato can do?

Saturday, August 27 at Hamacho Park
I'm here! An event that I love.
Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival

I like Bon Odori, and I participate every year.

It takes place in two days, gold and soil, but Friday was canceled due to unfortunate weather.
Therefore, the power spent on Saturday day is concentrated, and everyone who participates is full of energy.
I'm ready to dance in a ruck.
On Saturday, it was neither rainy nor hot nor cold, and the occasional wind was cool and comfortable, and it was the perfect climate for Bon Odori.
There are a lot of fair corners, so I first thought I would exchange tickets to fair, which I wanted, but when I came
Yakisoba, dumplings, bread, etc. were sold out as soon as possible. We purchased oden, stewed, etc. to fill our hunger.

And at that time, the song of "Dancing Hero" was! Yes, I dance Bon Odori with a dancing hero.
This is one of the most popular songs for Norinori. Leave the juice and sweets I had in hand to the other side and make the dance circle!
men and women of all ages said, "If you don't dance, the summer will not end."
Not only yukata people, but also people dancing diagonally with their bags on the way home from work, OLs dancing with heels, and children.
Your face is really smiling, I like this atmosphere irresistibly, and I can smile.
The other party you can only see before is now dancing in the circle. It's the charm of Oedo Festival!

I think it's a wonderful Japanese culture where everyone dances one song together and dances together.

The last song was Chuo-ku Ondo "This is Edo Bon Dance" and the festival ended.

I think every time, but next year, I'm going to go in yukata this time.

Why don't you try to enjoy the atmosphere next year?
Let's! Bon Dance!
