"Chomoranma Tavern" is a Chinese-style izakaya located in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

The store name has an impact, making it ideal for meeting places.

The dumplings here are famous and are big anyway.

Today, I ordered a mapo tofu set meal for lunch.

The spicy taste is perfect for me.

There are also two large dumplings on the mapo tofu set meal.

"Chomoranma" is the name of Tibet in Everest, the world's highest mountain in the Himalayas.

By the way, the large dumpling set meal for lunch is a set of 6 large dumplings (), rice, and egg soup, which is full of volume.

At the gallery in Ginza, "Gallery Ginza" (Ginza 2-13-12), an exhibition by illustrator and caricature writer Harutoshi Handa is being held under the title of "Cheers to Stars".

The period is from Monday, February 22 to 28 (Sun).

Mr. Handa is a writer living in Kushiro in Hokkaido.

This is the 7th exhibition in Ginza, Tokyo.

Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Ken-san, Tora-san, Elvis Presley, Sean Connery, Johnny Dep, Daniel Craig (now James Bond), and in the sports world, Kei Nishikori, Shohei Otani, Ayumu Goromaru, etc. are exactly star on parade.

There was also a portrait of a star drawn only with a horizontal line (freehand) (Mr. Handa original), I was overwhelmed by the variety of techniques and expression methods, and I felt the passion of the author for a caricature that did not deform.

This is an exhibition that I would like you to see up close.

The photographing in the gallery was approved by the person himself.

Thank you very much

From February 22nd, an exhibition "Neko Rekushon", which collects ukiyo-e and scrolls from the Edo period with a cat motif, is being held at "Gharari Akikado" (Ginza 6-4-8 Sone Building 7F) facing Sotobori-dori St.

It seems that this is the first time that this gallery has held an exhibition on the theme of cats.

Currently, the "cat boom" is occurring in various genres such as blogs, posting sites, books, etc., which is why this exhibition is held.

Certainly, since last year, this blog also introduced cat events several times.

Have you come, "cat boom"

At the venue, about 20 "cat works" by Kuniyoshi Utagawa, Kiyochika Kobayashi, Tsuguji Fujita and others are exhibited and sold.

Kuniyoshi Utagawa "53 Station Okazaki"

The event will be held until the 26th (Friday).

"Turret Coffee" is a coffee stand located in Tsukiji.

It is located right next to Tsukiji Station on Tokyo Metro (map below, red circle).

Turret is a general term for transport vehicles that are widely used for cargo handling in factories, warehouses, railway stations, etc., and are also used at Tsukiji wholesale markets.

It is the vehicle depicted on the signboard below.

The signboard menu is turret latte. The latte art, which Barista draws a brown and milky marble pattern in front of you, is wonderful no matter how many times you see it.

"Dorayaki", which is stamped with the logo of the shop, goes very well with latte.

It's a time to relax.

Diagonally in front of the shop, there is a monument to the site of the Tsukiji Small Theater, a symbol of the new drama movement in Japan.

Business hours are from 7:00 to 18:00 (Sunday and holidays from 10:00).
