When the old tray has passed and the summer Koshien tournament is over, I feel like "This summer is over." The remaining heat is likely to continue, but the dilly midsummer heat is over. I feel a little lonely because of my selfishness. ・・ I went to Ginza for the topic of shaved ice, regretting such a "going summer".

In the middle of the second block along the Suzuran Street toward Shimbashi. This is the shop in front of the Hama Sakumoto store.
This "Santokudo" is a specialty store of Puerh tea in Taiwan, but "Taiwan Shaved Ice", which is open during summer, is a hot topic on TV and magazines.
When you enter the shop one step, the wall is full of Taiwanese colors such as tea packages, miscellaneous goods, costumes, etc., and you will be wondering where you got lost for a moment. "Taiwan shaved ice" mainly focuses on the difference in syrup on ice shaved by ordinary shaved ice in Japan, whereas toppings are fruits, beans, jelly, etc. It may be said that it is similar to the famous shaved ice "Shirokuma" in Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures.
Today, the hot topic "Mango shaved ice" is already over the season, so we decided to have the most popular "Mame beans shaved ice" (1,000 yen) and "Aitamago jelly shaved ice" (780 yen). "Bean Bean Shaved Ice" is 10 kinds of toppings by adding love egg jelly to 9 kinds of beans. Rather, beans are the main thing. Unfortunately, it was after having a good lunch, so unfortunately GIVE UP in half. It's wise to skip one meal and TRY. "Aitamago Jelly" has a syrup made by boiling brown sugar in Puerh tea on a place where a lot of jelly is topped. The syrup is quite sweet, but it has a mysterious and smooth texture.
According to the store's explanation, "Because it is boiled in Pu'er tea for a long time, the unique texture of brown sugar is eliminated." A combination of hot puerh tea that follows with you seems to be healthy. The love egg jelly I had for the first time in a long time was very nostalgic and delicious. In the past, a Chinese food teacher I attended was from Taiwan and remembered the mysterious texture of Aitamago Jelly, which I ate for the first time in dessert. By the way, "Aitamago" is a plant similar to figs unique to Taiwan, and it seems that it becomes jelly-like when dried seeds are returned in the water.
There is also a take-out of shaved ice (300 yen).

The Nihonbashi area has been partially rebuilt, including the Mitsui Main Building (construction year 1929, Shigebun), the Mitsukoshi Main Store (1935, Tokyo Metropolitan Historic buildings), the Nomura Securities Building (1930), and the Nihonbashi Takashimaya (1933).
In 2007, the Mitsubishi Warehouse Building, the Edobashi Warehouse Building, and the Edobashi Warehouse Building, which was introduced here, was selected as the Historic buildings Metropolitan Government in 2007 as a representative work of the expressive architecture in Japan.
The Edobashi Warehouse Building was completed in 1930. It is said that it was built in Japan's first full-scale urban warehouse in this area, a historical place since its foundation. From the Showa-dori side, what is still noticeable is the tower that looks like a bridge of a ship. This is said to have been made as a flag stand for raising the company flag. Looking at the front entrance from the Nihonbashi Post Office side, a soft curve looks like a bow of the hull. The design of the wall is also rich in variations, and there are semicircular windows reminiscent of balconies and sea windows, and there are many highlights such as the stone design on the first floor that gives a solid impression, so you will not get tired of it. By the way, the design is a company employee.
In addition, this warehouse was partly equipped with Japan's first trunk room, which stores furniture and household goods in Yi and trunk units, following the "furniture warehouse" that flourished in the United States at the time. This is a hint obtained from the United States but tried to meet the needs of "safety of household goods" according to the actual situation in Japan shortly after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and this "transparent room service" was an advanced work in the United States at the time It seems that it is understood and introduced in American magazines. More than 80 years ago, more than 80 years ago, "Saki Yomi" and decided to start a new business with the naming of "Trankroom" as it is now and everyone will use the trunk room casually! Sir.

How are the bread scraps on the table taken out? At my house, I use a rolling type that I received as an Italian souvenir, but there is only one piece of waste that entered between the cross. "Speaking ..." When I remembered the small broom of the thing and used it, it was a big answer. I feel refreshed. I thought it would be a good gift, and I was attracted to the wrapping paper logo that made me feel the times, so I visited the shop.
It was a member store of the long-established gathering called the first year of Tenpo (1830), "Toto no Renkai" (the third generation, 100 years, continued in the same industry, and is still a thriving business).
Take off your shoes with a voice saying "Welcome, please," and go to the parlor. I have only experienced kimono shops that go up to the parlor in a store. You can relax in a homey mood as if you were visiting a private home. It may be a long-established store that makes you feel like this.

According to the company's website, this Shirakiya Denbei Shoten began to be made under the name of "Edo Hoki", founded in Ginza in 1830 (Tempo 1830), then moved to Kyobashi and continues to manufacture and sell brooms to date. The plants used for brooms include palms, bamboo, straws, etc., but this is used here for the Zashiki broom broom is "Hokia. It is said that it is cultivated in the field, harvested, dried and sorted, and processed into a parlor broom by skilled craftsmen.
Please refer to the following website for details.
Various brooms are displayed on the entire wall in the shop. It seems that only three to five parlor brooms can be made a day. Is it a beautiful knitting and a wasteless beauty that is extremely easy to use, and I want something for my home without tatami mats? I dreamed of "crossing a kimono and making a blue tatami mat Sasa ..." and felt completely "Edojin" ...
The feature of "Edo Houki" is that it uses a domestic one called houki Morokoshi, and it is different from other parlor brooms that the craftsmen select and knit it as a material, and it is more practical and simple form, and if it is reduced as a parlor broom, it can be used gradually underneath it for washrooms, toilets, and entrances. -(From the HP), I was convinced again that this is "It's perfect for modern eco-life!" Today, I walked around the city of Ginza, boasting a PC like a thin brush, a garden broom for the veranda, a scrubber, and a small broom for the table for gifts, and a broom pattern coming out of a slightly retro design bag. *The small size of the small broom is safe delivery amulet (sweeping the stomach of a pregnant woman creates a healthy child), portable use

This year's second time since August Noryo Kabuki, which began 22 years ago at Kabukiza Theater, moved to theater and became Hanagata Kabuki, the three-part performance system remains unchanged, but a little lonely thing is that Kansaburo, who was driving the Noryo Kabuki. It is reported that the full-fledged return to the one-month performance from the Osaka Shinkabukiza performance in September, but I would like to see Kansaburo in Tokyo as soon as possible.
However, today, I went to the third part in order to look for Kantaro's "Kaidan breast Enoki", who has a high reputation for being the first role and changing the four roles early. In August alone, young people in yukata were also flirting. The seats are full up to the 3rd floor.
As you know, "Kaidan breast Enoki" is one of the three major human stories of Sanyutei Encho. In the past, the form of performing the three painters Shigenobu Hishikawa, Shosuke Shimoo, and tertiary Uwabami in an early stage has been established, but this time, Sanyutei Encho will be added to perform the four roles and the first role. You will see how Kantaro, who will be named Kankuro next year's sixth generation Kankuro, will play only in the role of his father Kansaburo. Oseki is Nananosuke, and Isogai Namie is Shido.
When the curtain opened and San Koyama, a teahouse woman, came out, he applauded. Applause again when you hear the phrase "You are young" or "How are you?" I was born in 1920! Kantaro, not only the voice but also the dialogue, has become exactly like Kansaburo for a moment. The quick change of the three roles is really smooth and speedy, and every time I applauded. I didn't know at all that Shosuke and Miyoshi, who were helped to kill Shigenobu at Tajima Bridge and fled, would be replaced by Shichizo Hanamichi. The turning around using this water at the waterfall pot at the corner of the cornerstone "Kakuzu 12sha Otaki no Place" is a great enthusiasm where splashes fly to us in the second row. Of course, "Kaburimono" is distributed in the front row, and this is the true "Kaburitsuki".
When I left the theater, the remnant heat of the day came in. It was three hours that made me completely forget the heat of the outside world. Applauded again for the enthusiasm that doesn't make Kansaburo feel absent.
