Takashimaya Nihonbashi Store in MAKE-UP and shaved ice

1. July 19, 2012 08:30

I thought that the congestion of the tray had passed, so I went to Nihonbashi Takashimaya.
Oh! Mr. Takashimaya, which is undergoing renovation, has been transformed into a shopping bag. I remembered that I had received a stylish copy of DM saying "Speaking ..." "MAKE-UP is on the way until the end of this year."

100_0676.JPGIf you ask the guide at the entrance, the cover of this outer wall is one week ago. The current paper bag of Takashimaya is the work of illustrator Sharn Hashimoto, and the design has been completely established, so he said, "I tried this way this time." You can feel the room of a long-established store in a fun way to play. It is a venerable building that was designated as a heavy sentence for the first time as a department store building in 2009 (2009), so I am looking forward to the renewal next year.


I was a little stupid when I was going around here and there. When I looked into the place I wanted, "Yes," I said, "I was vacant!" It's a cafe of "Kanoshojuan". Just seasonal shaved ice has just begun, and a declaration of the end of the rainy season has been issued, and we immediately made it "heavy snow (matcha)" (840 yen). This shaved ice is also "There is also heavy snow (misle), and if you have matcha heavy snowfall, it takes half of condensed milk and matcha, and it is a combination of shiratama and large grains of plump Dainagon beans. Shaved ice is not a type that melts smoothly, but claims "fixed ice".

 

100_0673.JPGAmong the department stores that take a long time as you look around here and there are many such small rest areas. Your favorite resting place in the department store you go to. I'm looking forward to finding out where to go today.

In addition to "shaved ice", there is also "Matcha and famous confectionery Set" (735 yen), where you can enjoy delicious Japanese sweets from Mr.

When you leave the shop, it's a summer performance! A copy of "Hot place in Tokyo, where I left Takashimaya" was said to have become a hot topic when the Nihonbashi store fully equipped with air conditioning was completed in 1933. It's a name copy that can still be used today.

Returning to the stage of "Saruo" for the first time in eight years - Shimbashi Enbujo in July

1. July 9, 2012 13:16

The hot topic of July at Shimbashi Enbujo, where Sawaya Ichimon's attack performance is being held in June, is the third generation Sarunosuke and the second generation Saruo returned to the stage. In June, it only appeared on the name of the attack, but with the return to the stage, the play-loving greeting said, "When will you go?" It is. The stage for the first time in eight years and four months since he fell ill in February 2004 (2004). We went to theater on the third day of the opening.

At the entrance, there is a theater in a half-cloth of Sawayaya. 100_0652.JPG

It's a great success. After the first act, "Leave the Shogun Edo," he said.

It's a refreshing mouth with only three people with the attack name and only two Narita-ya, changed from the full stage last month. A big laugh in the hall with the humorous greeting of the two Narita-ya.

When Shin-Sarunosuke's "Kurozuka" is over, it is finally the place for "Romon Gosan Kiri" and "Romon". When the shallow yellow curtain was cut and dropped, it was Saruo, the role of Hisayoshi Mashiba, who played the role of Hisayoshi Mashiba, when the name of Goemon Ishikawa dressed as Ebizo, at the tower gate of Nanzenji Temple in full bloom. A big applause in the hall! It's an appearance with Kuroko on it. Looking at Sarunosuke, who was a superhuman activity, I feel that my heart is still filled with a figure that seems to be inconvenient. But it's a nice thing to be able to see the cheerful appearance again on the stage. I'm so excited. I think there are pros and cons about standing on the stage in a state where it is not a complete recovery yet, but I think it's a great pleasure for the majority of customers. I remembered the story of Tanosuke Sawamura, the third generation of a beautiful woman who continued to stand on the stage after her two legs were cut due to gangrene during the late Tokugawa shogunate period. The applause does not stop even when the curtain closes. Handshake with Ebizo in a curtain call, and Kuroko who appeared is a middle car! Another play of parents and children was in progress on the stage. Curtain calls every day from the first day. Seeing Saruo, who is happily waving to the audience, you can feel the soul of the actor and the obsession of the actor. Please come to the topical stage.

"My Italian YAESU" Exploring Report

1. July 6, 2012 08:30

In September 2011, after the first store "My Italian" was born in Shimbashi, Shimbashi ANEX, Yaesu, Kamiyacho, "My French", Ginza, Kagurazaka, and the TV and the media have been opened at a phenomenal speed, and I have been looking at topical shops where exposure is noticeable. "My Italian YAESU" shop came together with a new friend and a friend who loves new things.

A large photo of a signboard chef is eye-catching near Kyobashi in the Yaesu Book Center.

100_0641.JPGThat's right. The selling of this "my" chain is the incredible beauty of cospa that "famous chefs offer the best ingredients at a phenomenal price." More than half of the shops are STANDING, a so-called standing drinking style, and this YAESU store can sit only four tables. The meal at STANDING was a little (very) tighter age, Lucky also made a reservation and arrived at the shop at 17:00.


At this point, the STANDING seats were still vacant, and there was only one set of table seats besides us. A little because the image of "It's very crowded" preceded? ! For some time I thought, when I ordered drinks and the first dish began to be served, the STANDING seat near the entrance was full.

  

  

 

"My salad" (in a very large salad ball)

It is a frit of zucchini flower, a gnocchi mushroom sauce, a cold pasta of crab and tomato, a limited abalone for 5 meals a day and a loquat poire. The fact that champagne, red wine, beer and drinks less than 4,000 yen per person is still quite friendly to your wallet. The service people are also young and crisp and comfortable. However, since the shop itself is quite small, the conversation at the next table seat can be heard without listening, so it may be necessary to be a little careful ... It was a visit report of a middle-aged and elderly two people who seemed to understand a little bit of "popular" at the store.

Next time, let's go to "My French"!

“Nihonbashi” 400 years as seen in the exhibition

1. July 4, 2012 13:00

The 20th anniversary of the opening of the Edo Tokyo Museum is being held in special exhibition's Nihonbashi 400 years of landmarks. Many people may have seen the curator in charge's commentary on the “Sights” was published in a series in the Asahi Shimbun, which is sponsored. I also thought, "in the meantime," but the session was finally until July 16, and finally to both countries.

100_0636.JPG

It is the first time that paintings and photographs that record Nihonbashi and its surroundings have been released on this scale in an exhibition with 130 materials centered on paintings depicting Nihonbashi as described in "drawn" .

Chapter 1 "City of Edo Bridge" - Works drawn as the starting point of Nakano Bridge and the highway in the city

Chapter 2 “Drawing Nihonbashi-Edo Castle, Mount Fuji, Fish Bank-” Standard Decision on Nihonbashi Painting

Chapter 3 “Civilization and enlightenment and Nihonbashi” Nihonbashi is changing every moment with the Meiji Restoration

Chapter 4 “Nihonbashi made of stone” - 100 years since the current stone bridge was built

Based on the above composition, there are also surprise exhibitions such as "Dismantling Shinsho" (because the version was Suharaya in Nihonbashi) and rickshaws (starting business at the high billboard in Nihonbashi). The commentary guide is Mr. Makoto Takeuchi, the director.

While watching Hiroshige's "Surugacho Echigo-ya", "This is a whole promotion run" "What was Shirakiya doing at first?" "Is the bridge behind this river Ichiishi Bridge or Tokiwa Bridge?" (Conversation that I don't think I have received a very sightseeing test!) I enjoyed the exhibition while being excited by a selfish story. If you come with a friend who loves Edo, you will be sure to double the pleasure.

It would be great to think about the 400 years of Nihonbashi while watching the exhibition. In addition, at the “Festival-Amusement / Festival / Famous Places-Exhibition held at the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, the “Edo Famous Places Screen” is displayed as a contrast to the “Gion Festival Screen”, and you can see the bustle of Nihonbashi at the beginning of the Kanei era. I can do it. This is until July twenty-second.

The nearest station until July 16, Edo Tokyo Museum: 1 minute walk from A4 exit of Ryogoku Station on the Toei Oedo Line

Closed from 9:30 to 17:30 Monday
