How about Valentine's Day? ~ Chocolate of Shiseido Hanatsubaki

[Vickie] January 31, 2012 08:30

When I bothered you before, "Cute! When I prepare a gift for an important person someday, I will definitely do this! "
This time, such an opportunity came to Ginza immediately!


Ginza Shiseido Parlour is known by all means.
Last spring, it was a shop that tasted the French toast of Ginza honey (laughs).

This time, I visited the food shop on the 1st floor.
There are many products full of Shiseido's style, such as sweets, wine and soups, as well as sweets. The inside of the store is decorated with a lot of seasonal patterns and Valentine gifts.

Today, the name is "Makiage Chocolat". Please take a look! The flower camellia of Shiseido motif is such a colorful chocolate!

It is beautifully displayed one by one, like jewelry or cosmetics. You can enjoy different flavors depending on the color, such as champagne, mango, yuzu lime, etc. The box containing 5 pieces is perfect for a small gift. The wrapping is also elegant like Ginza!

The flower camellia mark was born in Taisho 4 (1915).
The design was designed by Shinzo Fukuhara, the first president of Shiseido and a photographer.
Around this time, cafes opened in Ginza Brick Street one after another, and we were entering a gorgeous era with the scent of Taisho romance.

Even after 100 years, Hanatsubaki has been loved as such a wonderful chocolate ...
In considering the history of Ginza, I realized once again that the keyword "stylish" is inseparable after all.

This flower camellia chocolate is sold only at the Ginza main store. How about a Valentine gift for a wonderful man who understands "real fashion"?

Enjoy the taste of Michelin at home-Nihonbashi Tenshi Shigeru, bamboo skin wrapped Tendon

[Vickie] January 5, 2012 08:30

Happy New Year, all of you! Please look forward to seeing you again this year.♪

 

Well, let's have a good topic from the New Year.

There was a connection, and I received Tenge Nihonbashi's "Bamboo Skin Wrapper Tendon".

Tenge is a tempura shop standing quietly behind the alleys of Nihonbashi、It's a venerable shop that has won one star at that Michelin!

It was founded in 1885. Even now, Mr. Okuda, the owner, is a trademark butterfly tie and stands at the landing every day.

This is "Bamboo skin wrapped Tendon". In the form of a good old Japanese "lunch box", there is a long-established style.

According to the accompanying explanation, during the Meiji and Taisho eras, the head of a nearby shop was enjoying this Tendon as a night eclipse. Well, let's have it!

As soon as the wrapping is opened, the scent of sesame oil spreads quickly!
"What is the inside like?" I wondered, but I see. There's a big hole tempura on it. Tentsuyu is soaked in the rice and it's delicious! You can feel the sense of unity that is wrapped in bamboo skin. In paper and plastic containers, I'm sure they don't wear this.


Surprisingly, this "Bamboo Skin Wrapper Tendon" is a registered trademark of Tenmoge (4782492). After all, the long-established stores are different in terms of the history, and it was very delicious!
