The Kyotokan, an antenna shop in Kyoto City (2-1-1 Yaesu, Chuo-ku, Yanmar Tokyo Building 1F), currently sells seasonal products that are typical of spring at the "Sakura, Saita" corner.

First of all, "Kyoto Ikawa Tomasa" Spring Limited Kyoto Sakura Dango ""

Founded in 1884, it is a spring-only product of "Mamemasa", famous for "Goshiki beans". It is said that the cherry leaves were chopped into dumpling dough and finished with a pestle. If eaten, it is not too sweet, it smells of cherry blossoms.

Next, "Kyoyo Confectionery Juvancel" Sakura Raw Chocolate ""

The origin of the name is French, which means "Otome". This is a raw cherry-colored raw chocolate with salted cherry leaves. You can enjoy the smooth mouthfeel and the scent of cherry blossoms unique to raw chocolate.

There are still many other spring-only products, but that's all about what I bought and eaten. Kyoto in spring is also wonderful, but you can also enjoy the taste of Kyoto in spring at the Kyoto Museum in front of Yaesu Exit.

＊In addition, we received the consent of Kyoto Museum about photography inside the museum. Thank you m(__)m

－All dreams can be realized if you have the courage to continue seeking dreams - Walt Disney

In 1923, Walt Disney and his brother Roy founded the Walt Disney Company in 1990. From March 19th, Matsuya Ginza has been holding a special exhibition "Disney Dream and Magic 90 Years Exhibition from Mickey Mouse to Pixar" that looks back on Disney's 90 years. On the first day of the event, after the work is over, it seems to be quite crowded with Matsuya at the venue.

At the venue, under the supervision of "Walt Disney Archives", about 800 items such as works of animators and designers who have been active so far are exhibited for each theme by theme. At the venue full of highlights such as props and costumes used in the movie, venue-limited original goods related to the exhibited works and the latest Disney goods released in advance at the venue are also sold.

The venue is Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The exhibition period is until April 7 (Mon), but starting here in Matsuya Ginza, it will take about a year and a half to travel around the country, including Osaka and Fukuoka.

If you want to soak in Disney in Ginza this time when it's finally getting warmer, please go out.

Even though it was mid-March, on the way to work while thinking that it was cold, I saw a wonderful frost pillar at Kameibashi Park. This year, March 6th is Keihaku, and Keihaku is the season when insects that had warmed the earth and hibernation came out of the hole.

Kamei Bridge Park is next to Kamei Bridge, which connects Ginza and Tsukiji (the capital expressway runs on the north and below). This park is located in the Tsukiji River before the Metropolitan Expressway ran), and there is a flower bed in the perennial plant called Pele Near Garden in the park square.

Frost pillars stood up all over the ground around the explanation board below. In any case, Kanto loam in the Kanto region is said to be easy to form frost pillars because soil particles are likely to cause frost pillars. Hey~

By the way, the name of Kamei Bridge comes from the fact that after the "Ginza Fire" in 1872, the former feudal lord Tsuwano and Koremi Kamei, who were related to this area, invested their own money and built a wooden bridge.

In any case, the warm spring when the cherry blossoms at Kameibashi Park are in full bloom will soon be in full bloom.
