Preparation for Chuo-ku Tourism Certification [Chuo-ku Tourism Information Center]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 31, 2016 12:00

The Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center is located on the 1st and 1st floors of the new building "Kyobashi Edgran" along Kyobashi 2-chome Chuo-dori.

This facility has the function of collecting and transmitting tourist information in multiple languages and local tourist information, and is a base for providing tourism information in Chuo-ku.

Naturally, there are various tourist information pamphlets for Chuo-ku, and the fact that tourist information can be collected can be used as a subtext for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification in February next year.

I also received these pamphlets and guide maps, so I am an examinee.

The museum is open from 9:00 to 21:00, and is open all year round (except when the entire building is closed).

Chuo-ku's first story map, Chuo-ku sightseeing guide map, etc.

For the first time in Chuo-ku, the story map introduces "the birthplace of @" by genre, and it is easy to understand where it is in Chuo-ku.

If you actually go around the highlights of Chuo-ku with these maps in your hand, the test measures will be perfect.

Shrimp curry [Tsukiji shrimp gold]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 30, 2016 14:00

Tsukiji Ebikin, famous for shrimp soba, is located diagonally opposite the Namiki Inari Shrine, at the end of Tsukiji 6-chome, at the end of Namiki-dori Street, and diagonally opposite Namiki Inari Shrine.

When you enter the shop, the scent of shrimp, which is not found in a normal ramen shop, makes you feel that you have come to shrimp gold.

makanai001.JPG

Normally, I order "Shrimp soba", but today I order "Shrimp curry that is not limited in quantity"

makanai002.JPG

When you eat it, you can feel the scent of shrimp toward your nose.

It was a very good menu to change the mood of the usual shrimp soba.

There is also a "mini" that can be ordered together with shrimp soba.

makanai003.JPG

The shop usually runs from 10:00 to 15:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00, and ends on Saturday from 6:00 to 15:00.

Closed on Sunday and public holidays

makanai004.JPG

The end of the year is from 8:00 to 13:00 on the 31st (Sat), and the beginning of the year is usually open from the 5th (Thu).

Near the New Month [Namishi Inari Shrine]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 28, 2016 12:00

On the last Monday of this year, Namishi Inari Shrine, located at the end of Namishi Street, is already ready for the New Year.

namiyo001.JPG

Namiwa Inari Shrine is a shrine that has a deep reverence in the sacred virtues such as disaster elimination, exorcism, business prosperity, construction safety, etc. as Namiwa Inari, who survives the waves except for disasters.

namiyo003.JPG

There is also an annual great exorcism Chinowa on the grounds.

namiyo004.JPG

Nami-dori before New Year is crowded with Tsukiji Market officials, people who buy ingredients for New Year's preparations, and foreign tourists.

namiyo005.JPG

People who carry frozen tuna and those who ride turley pass along the street in front of the shrine.

It is a place where you can feel that the New Year is approaching at once after Christmas is over.

Annual Mini Painting Exhibition [Gallery Yaesu]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 22, 2016 18:00

mini010.JPG

"Mini Painting Exhibition" is being held at Gallery Yaesu Tokyo, an art gallery located in Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

mini020.JPG

This gallery has become an annual event that takes place during this season.

mini030.JPG

It seems that this is the 22nd event.

mini040.JPG

It is a gathering of more than 100 artists who are active in various fields.

Some are regulars, while others are exhibiting for the first time this time.

Previously, those who had a solo exhibition at this gallery were also exhibited.

mini050.JPG

Since I began to visit this painting exhibition, when the area to be expressed was limited, the way the object was cut out became sharper, and I began to feel that it would be a work that attracted viewers strongly.

I think the small and attractive paintings are perfect for Christmas gifts during this season.

mini060.JPG

The event will be held from Monday, December 19 to 25 (Sun).

mini070.JPG

In addition, we received special consent for photography in the gallery.

Soranoiro (Kyobashi Edgran)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 19, 2016 14:00

This ramen shop is located on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Edgran, a new building built in Kyobashi 2-chome.

sorano000.JPG

Kyobashi Edgran is directly connected to Kyobashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.

sorano010.JPG

The main store is located at 1-chome, Hirakawacho, Chiyoda-ku, and the official name of the Kyobashi store is "Soranoirotonkotsu & Mushrooms".

sorano030.JPG

Order special spice tonkotsu buckwheat

The soup is unique, just spicy, and the curry scent remains in the scent that goes through the nose.

Pakchi is also included, and the impact of India and Thailand is great.

sorano020.JPG

The noodles are medium-sized noodles.

There is a spicy sprout on the table, and a punch is effective as a chopstick rest.

Anyway, it is a shop that has an impact on the taste and wants to come to eat another menu again.

Next time, I will come to eat "Mushroom Veggie Shirayu Soba".

sorano040.JPG

In front of the shop, vegetable juice was sold. This is said to be a cold press juice shop in Kojimachi that opened in collaboration with Soranoiro.

It is decorated with 8,000 bulbs of champagne gold, a Christmas tree about 6m high.

It is the central open space (Galleria) of Kyobashi Edgran, a new landmark in the Kyobashi area.

edogr030.JPG

Planting in the facility is also decorated with illuminations, with a total of 45,000 LED bulbs shining.

edogr020.JPG

The lighting of the 8,000 LEDs on this Christmas tree is said to be 100% power supply from the next generation of renewable energy, Clarity FUEL CELL, a fuel cell vehicle that uses hydrogen as fuel.

In Kyobashi, there is Tokyo Square Garden, an eco-friendly and environmentally friendly building, which indicates the direction of the building in the future?
