It is located on the first floor of the Urban Net Nihonbashi 2-chome Building in Nihonbashi 2-chome.

The shop consists of four zones: a product sales zone, a light food and drink zone, a tourist information zone, and an event zone.

I recommend a wine from Goto (red).

The explanation stated, "Comfortable and soft mouthfeel with a fruity feeling," but it is solid red.

nagas05.JPG

It is "Agonchobi" which was explained and bought as "It fits with wine".

"Agonchobi" is said to be the name of "Ago" from anchobi.

"Ago" (fairfish) from Kamigoto is pickled with "Tsubaki Oil" and "Umishio Goto" from Kamigoto.

This is also wonderful

It is a gem that best matches local specialty products.

Tokyo Square Garden is a building full of greenery, with a multi-layered green space named "Kyobashi Hill" centered on the Chuo-dori side, and planting delights our eyes every season. You.

At present, the hydrangea on the side of Kajibashi Street (north side of the building) is in full bloom.

Hydrangea is a flower that represents the rainy season, isn't it?

ajisa03.JPG

In front of the photo above is the medalion (elliptical ornament) at the front entrance of the former Katakura-kan.

ajisa04.JPG

The reason why there is a medalion is that before the Tokyo Square Garden was built, there was Katakura-kan, the head office building of Katakura Silk Spinning Co., Ltd. (now Katakura Industries).

It seems that the Katakura-kan was a West architecture with granite used for the base and decorations on the upper and upper floors of the base, and when developing the Tokyo Square Garden, the Katakura-kan was dismantled and the wall decoration near the front entrance It is said that the medalion was to be installed and preserved here as a historic design.

Photo exhibition "Neko Lion" [Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 30, 2016 12:00

"The cat is a little lion. The Lion is a big cat."

nekol01.JPG

Indeed, this is the perfect catchphrase for this photo exhibition, and the photo exhibition "Neko Lion" by animal photographer Mitsuaki Iwago is being held.

nekol02.JPG

The location is the 7th floor gallery of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, Main Building and New Building.

nekol03.JPG

The period is from Wednesday, May 25 to Monday, June 6.

nekol04.JPG

Cats live in harmony with our human lives, and the Lion is called the King of Beasts and lives in the wild world as unrelated to humans.

They are of the same cat family, but their size and life are different, but they are somewhat similar.

Mr. Iwai cut out a moment "somewhere similar" and showed us.

The exhibition method that shows two cats and lions, one by one, "somewhere similar" moments are wonderful.

nekol05.JPG

In this photo exhibition "Neko Lion", about 200 cats () that coexist with humans captured by Iwago and lions living in the wild are exhibited as works.

You can drink several kinds of drinks and coffee.

It's a coffee jelly with salad and petit dessert.

"Bongore of clams and broccoli."

The texture of the raw pasta is good for me and it's very good.

After 12 o'clock, there will be a waiting guest.

There is also a terrace seat, so lunch on the terrace seat this season is also good.

neco002.JPG

This time, the 49th time, 12 shops from about 70 artists participated, and various goods such as stationery, interior goods, tableware, illustrations, accessories, figures, fashion miscellaneous goods, etc. of "cat motif" are exhibited.

The venue is Espers Plantan (festival venue) on the 5th floor of the Main Building of Plantan Ginza.

neco004.JPG

The event period is from Wednesday, May 25 to May 31 (Tuesday).

neco009.JPG

The photo shows the mini Japanese-style Nhashmallow purchased at the venue.

Japanese-style marshmallow (Hozui) is a Japanese confectionery that has been popular in Kyoto for a long time, and it is called marshmallow, but it contains white bean paste.

Certainly, compared to the original Nyashmallow (previous purchase), it was completely "wa" taste.

The size is small bite size compared to the original.

neco005.JPG

I think it's an irresistible project for cat lovers.

Order "Special Miso Koturi Ramen"

The soup has a richness, matches well with the mochi feeling of the middle-tat small noodles, and the crispness of the sprouts is also exquisite.

Soft char siu, whole boiled egg, corn, and seaweed are also impressive.
