The place is the red place on the map below, Ginza 1-23-4 Tokai Building 1F.

In the last blog (), I introduced the super-umaguchi activated muddy sake "Oho"

kojisan000.JPG

When I visited a few days ago, "Ohho" was sold out, but when I went today, the owner told me that it had just arrived today and that the name was changed to "Ginza Owl".

It was nice timing

Even if the name changes, there is no difference that it is an active turbulent liquor of the superuma mouth.

In addition, seven years after Great East Japan Earthquake, I heard that the "Sake Great Tasting Party in Ginza" was planned and operated at Ginza Suzuran Street on December 16 and 17 last weekend to remember the support I had forgotten.

At that time, the exhibited "Tohoku 6 Soul Sake" was placed in the store.

It is a beautiful Art Nouveau-style liquor with prefectural flowers from the six prefectures of Tohoku on the label.

At present, this shop is the only place where you can drink and buy this liquor.

It is said that customers from overseas are also increasing at this shop.

A hat is taken off to the vitality of the shopkeeper who is engaged in various activities to get to know the goodness of sake.

In addition, we received the consent of the owner about the photography in the store, and this time we also gave a polite and polite explanation.

Thank you very much

Social pot of the New Year [a monument commemorating the arrival of the salvation army]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 22, 2017 09:00

It's an illusion to talk about landscapes that I often saw during the Showa era, when the Heisei era is about to end, but I feel like "social pots" have recently disappeared.

The "Social Hot Pot" is a street fundraising campaign conducted by the Salvation Army at the end of the year to support the poor in life, etc. It is an iron pot.

It is also the seasonal word of Haiku (winter) as a feature that colors the city at the end of the year every year.

It is a "social pot" that has become rarely seen, but there is a monument in Chuo-ku, the monument of the salvation army, which is the parent of the activity.

syakai004.JPG

It is right next to the intersection on the north side across Tsukijibashi along Heisei Dori.

syakai001.JPG

For more information about the origin of this monument, please refer to the blog post published last June.

It is said that Colonel Wright, who came to Japan, set up the headquarters in this area, and it was set up in 1995 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the arrival.

syakai002.JPG

The fact that my eyes went to this monument may be conscious of the New Year's Day.

minimini001.JPG

The annual "World's Smallest Mini Painting Exhibition" is being held at "Gallery Yaesu Tokyo", an art gallery in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

minimini002.JPG

The event will be held from Monday, December 18 to 24 (Sun).

minimini003.JPG

It is held every year during this season, so personally, when I see the signboard of this painting exhibition in the passage of the underground shopping mall, I realize that this year is already over.

minimini004.JPG

This time, more than 100 exhibitors exhibited more than 10 works each, and more than 1000 works were exhibited.

minimini005.JPG

In this painting exhibition, there are various materials, various expressions, and the exhibited artists are also active in various fields. Even though each work is small, the energy overflowing from it is amazing.

minimini007.JPG

I heard during the lunch break, but many visitors were eager to watch the work.

minimini009.JPG

In addition, we received your consent for photography in the gallery, and also cooperated in the interview.

Thank you very much

muku0055.JPG

I also made a reservation for this reason.

muku009.jpg

Here's One Bergh, which uses only the red meat of pure cheese and horse meat I ordered.

muku0000.jpg

This is a one Bergh cake made of chicken breast meat.

All of these cakes are said to be 100% natural ingredients, and all the raw material names are listed, so they are particular about the ingredients.

muku0022.JPG

By the way, we are also accepting reservations for New Year's "Additive-free Osechi" and "temari Sushi".

muku0033.JPG

At GINZA MUKU, we always accept birthday cake orders.

muku0044.JPG

Again, we received your consent about photography in the store, and we were able to get a lot of information about pet cakes and sweets from the store manager.

I also got an image of Christmas cake.

Thank you very much

Wan This Christmas Goods [GINZA MUKU]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 16, 2017 18:00

muku001.JPG

It is a pet shop where I stopped by the Christmas mood overflowing from a glass-covered shop on my way home from work.

muku002.JPG

This is GINZA MUKU, a pet shop of Nanko Nyanko in Ginza 2-chome.

muku003.JPG

Wow, this Christmas wear, Christmas toys are full.

Unfortunately, Christmas wear that fits my medium-sized dog was sold out.

muku004.JPG

It is said that the shop has been open for 7 years.

Even here, the increase in the number of inbound visitors seems to be amazing, and it seems that tourists sometimes buy large quantities.

After all, in the pet world, trust in made in Japan regarding quality and safety must be established.

muku005.JPG

In Chuo-ku, it was said that there were many small dogs of Toy Poodle and Chihuahua, but some of them also live with large dogs Golden Retriever or Pilene, so it is difficult to meet a wide range of needs I thought it would be.

muku006.JPG

This shop has a wonderful assortment of pet supplies, but there are plenty of cakes and funny dishes for dogs, so I'll introduce you once again.

muku007.JPG

In addition, we received your consent for photography in the store, and gave a detailed explanation of the interview.

Thank you very much

An owl pigeon [Tsukiji River Ginza Park]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 13, 2017 14:00

Tsukiji River Ginza Park is a park in Chuo Ward built on both sides of the Mannen Bridge along Harumi-dori St., where the former Tsukiji River and now the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway runs down.

As a place to relax for pigeons, this blog was introduced in September this year.

tukihato001.JPG

In December, when the cold suddenly increased in the morning, I passed here, and the pigeons looked a little different than usual.

tukihato002.JPG

The pigeons in the park are sucked down and round, and do not stay still and tremble, and keep their eyes closed.

tukihato005.jpg

This is like a "calf sparrow (a sparrow that inflates the whole body's feathers during the cold)" and is also a winter seasonal word.

tukihato003.JPG

According to books, birds are not limited to sparrows, but in the cold winter season, birds stand upside down so as to inflate their feathers, creating a layer of air inside to prevent a decline in body temperature.

Among birds, the bulging appearance of sparrows familiar to us has been well known for a long time, and it is said that the word "Fuki Sparrow" is applied and it is said that it is very auspicious.

"Fukura Sparrow" can also be used to tie the obi.

Indeed, the sight I saw this morning was "owl pigeons"
