Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I'm already familiar with you.

The street on the south side of the intersection from amazake Yokocho in Ningyocho is lined with very famous line shops.

In the last few days, it has become easier to spend, so I've been going to have Oyakodon, saying 'That' Tamahide's strongest line ... ... ... ...

Before the report, I found such a signboard, so I would like to see it first (Gomennasai if you know).

Yes, from the amazake Yokocho intersection → "Cafe Sokaiseiken" → "Western Food Raifukutei" → "Tamahide," → If you go with "Western Shoku Koharuken", you will find a historical site explanation board of the birthplace of Junichirou Tanizaki. When I looked up on the stone slab as "Fu" ...

"Phantom Western Kannoyuki" and azuki-colored signboard jumped into my eyes My favorite eyes of sweet things are nailed to this azuki-colored signboard. The name of the restaurant is "Snow Snow"? Or the name of the product? ・... If it was a product name ... A Western Kan with the name "Snow Snow" is a splendid thing with the motif of the four sisters of the story ... "Tsuruko" "Sachiko", "Yukiko" and "Taeko" are all imagining that there are four types of flavors inspired by each of them!　　　　　　　　 And then Where is this signboard shop, I looked for a nearby place, but I couldn't find such a "wagashi" shop or "sweet shop" ... So I was sorry to ask the dispensing pharmacy on the first floor of the building where this sign was hung.  

It seems that there are quite a few people who ask the same question as me (somehow happy because I have friends), and depending on the place where I answered with a smile "Hi-Hi" ... . As you can imagine, in the past, there was a place where Japanese sweets were made behind this building, and the former appearance of this pharmacy was a dealer. It's very disappointing that I wanted to see at a glance what kind of "phantom Western Kan" was like, rather than the remorse that I couldn't buy and get it.

In the true sense, it's a "phantom Western Kan"!

Then, it's "Tamahide"'s Oyakodon.

  We ordered "Ganso Oyakodon" ￥1500. You can arrange it by 13:00, so I went out slowly and lined up in a line around 12:30. I was able to get to my seat in about 30 minutes. Of course, we have a shared seat. This time, a two-person office worker who was present said, "This is better than the super popular XX store!" (I also had the same opinion, secretly hit Unun. It's up to you).

   The 6-star luxury hotel "MANDARIN ORIENTAL TOKYO" is located in the Mitsui Tower, which is located alongside Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building.

This is "Happi" which is sold on the first floor.

On the second floor, a buffet-style Italian restaurant "VENTAGLIO" floating in a bright atrium (Venn Tario is a [fan] in Italian, a mark of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel!) There is a set of Petit Gato and drinks sold at GOURMET SHOP (Gourmet Shop) on the first floor (¥1400 to no service charge), and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, you can enjoy dessert buffet (¥270 separately) called "La Dolce Vita" (¥270)

In fact, I have been going around twice a month since it was just opened ... (However, if it was too long, there was no change in items so much. Recently, I've been bothering each season.)　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I was very interested in that chef de Patissier, who was appointed to this hotel, studied at Mr. Inamura of Hotel Seiyo Ginza, moved to the Roppongi Hills Club, and also learned that he was a chef Hiroshi Igarashi, who has also won global awards.

　　　　　

It starts at 15:00, but even if we arrive 15 minutes ago, there are queues with people waiting. When it's time, I'll show you to your seat one by one.

The photo above is shortly after the buffet started, but don't get in the way while many people are taking it on the plate ... I tried my best, but it was almost impossible.

Anyway, 2 kinds of Antome (hall cake), several kinds of cut cakes, Petit Eclair & Shoo, Demy Sec (half-life baked confectionery), Sablere, Bonbon o Chocolat, kugrof, Petide Niche, Chocolat fondow, fruit compote, various kinds of glass desserts, sandwiches, salty, etc ... There are also corn sare (s, etc.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

And when they are gone, different items come out one after another.

　　　　　　
Antleme (hall cake) is also matcha mousse, chocolate le (milk chocolate) & pistasch mousse, Paris brest, Chocolat mousse & Banner Numusse, Gato Chocolat, Mont Blanc, etc. ... Gomennasai, I can't write it. This Mont Blanc, as expected, came to the time of chef Inamura of "Hotel Seiyo Ginza", and assembling and dough (Chief Igarashi is a chestnut powder (?) It seems to be a little different, but I am very happy because the parts such as claim pastière, claim shanti, and marron gasse are similar.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

As for drinks, there are 3 to 4 recommended teas for each season, and the hotel's original "Mandarin Oriental Tea", several flavor teas, coffee (hot & ice) including cafe au lait and cappuccino etc. You can also order.

Oh, I forgot! As usual, glasses and Sorbe (ice cream & sherbet) are distributed, but on this day there was a "shaved ice" machine, where you could make your favorite shaved ice with several toppings and sauces.

Here, among those who go around dessert buffets at various places, it seems that there is an evaluation that there is "Patch & Hazure" such as "I didn't do that today" or "I was only cut cake" ...　　　　　 I don't expect "I can always get that cake", but I think it's better to enjoy Sweets that day, "What can I do today?"

The other day, I got a souvenir from a friend, and I knew that 'Sweets Spot' was open in Ginza, so I went immediately.

The name is "LA MAISON GINZA". This is a new concept shop of Haagen-Dazs, a long-established large ice cream company (already old in Japan).

As for the location, when you exit from the subway Ginza Station A1 exit, you just passed Manet Ken, turned left on Suzuran Street, and passed "Kanoko".

It looks like a jewelry store　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

From the upper left, "Haagen-Dazs pudding Hergendatz Pudding" 3 types (Vanilla Ramraisins Caramel) for ¥ 380 each. "Macaron Bijoux Macaron Bijoux" Several kinds of ice cream sandwiched with macarons tailored to each flavor, ¥1575 for a set of 5 types. "Bijoux Glaces Bijuu Glass" Several kinds of ice cream are packed in a hemispherical chocolate cup, and you can enjoy the texture with hidden flavors and toppings tailored to each flavor, and this is also a set of 5 for $1260.

It is a salon de Te (cafe) where you can eat in B1F, 2F and 4F. On this day, I visited around 1:30 pm, but customers came one after another, and from the 2nd floor, the seats to see were filled (it's very popular). B1F

2F

It's 4F.

It's an eat-in menu.

"Glamorous Gramalas,"

"Sensual Sensal" "Marvelous Marvelous Marvelous"

"Mystique Missique,"

In addition to these Sweets, there are also champagne, red and white wine, beer, tidbits assorted plates and galettes (salt crepes), tea time after meals, aperityph before dinner, etc. It looks like a shop that answers various scenes.

Lunch is also available from 11:00 to 14:00 on Weekday.

Ham, eggs and cheese galettes with coffee, tea and ice cream desserts, ￥1300 (one galette dish with normal menu costs $1150).

In addition, there was a set of smoke salmon and pink grapefruit salad galettes in the Lunch menu.

This time, we received permission from the shop and photographed the inside of the shop and the menu, but if you could introduce it to many people, we received very favorable consent and cooperation again . Thank you very much.

The other day, I introduced "Hojicha Shaved Ice" by "Morinoen" in Ningyocho amazake Yokocho. However, in fact, this is also a big favorite, and I was able to manage this year, and I was calm down, saying, "Oh, it's okay to fall anytime!"

What is his favorite is the shaved ice that you can get at the Nihonbashi Main Store Cafe Room "Setsugetsuka" at Nihonbashi Main Store, a long-established sweet shop at Nihonbashi Motobu, which Chuo-ku is proud of, or Japan is proud of.

This is the real thing I received the other day.
Homemade strawberry syrup with strawberry pulp is at the bottom, with large cut fresh fruits, vanilla ice cream, and strawberry sauces. This homemade strawberry syrup is very delicious.
And "Setsugetsuka" also loves the cozy reason. Even if you don't offer it here, you can pour tea over and over again, and you really feel the heart of "Please relax"!

However, on the day, I only took this picture, and when I saw it later, the color is not good ... and there are many other delicious shaved ice and sweet menus ... ... ... "Yes, let's take a menu sample lined up at the entrance of the coffee room (of course, if you can get permission), "I'll take a menu sample lined up at the entrance of the coffee room!"

If you are in charge of sales at the store, would you like to take a copy of the menu sample because you are a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and are reluctant to introduce it in the photo of the other day? I asked (what I was bold and invincible ... while I was thrilled).

The coffee room "Setsugetsuka" was different in charge, so I was transferred to the person in charge.

And it was Hiroshi Kobayashi, President and CEO of "Eitaro Yukigetsuhana Co., Ltd."

I was so afraid that I felt that my height was 10% shorter.

However, here I would like to introduce the beauty of Chuo-ku to everyone who looks at the correspondent blog of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, a strong MISSION (Mission ... Well, I'm sorry for the over!) For this reason, I have made a request.

・・・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ (It is important from here) Since the menu sample is illuminated from behind, If you try to take a picture from the front, it will be backlight ...

If I was a little in trouble, I immediately noticed and said, "Wait a minute!" And guided me to the back of the glass showcase shelf where menu samples are lined up, open the back door, and many shaved ice There were six kinds of them out of them and arranged them on the table.

I took only a few pictures with a trembling hand. Please take a look at two of them.

Of these, the first row, "Ome's shaved ice" on the left is also one of my favorites. If you have heard before, this plum syrup is sold at stores.

After that, fearfully, President Kobayashi put the menu sample into a glass showcase shelf ... (I can't help anything during that time ... I'm sorry ...) .

Thank you very much, Mr. Kobayashi.

Finally, there are plenty of other menus, such as various shaved ice and sweet menus that can be enjoyed outside summer, and meals that are often sold out at lunchtime! !

・・... However, I came back without checking the name and price of the menu, and even though President Kobayashi came, I didn't get any words I'm sorry. I would like to apologize to you here ... Please forgive me.
