Topic day and night replacement "Kanjin Book"-Shimbashi Enbujo in October

1. October 16, 2012 14:00

In October theater's performance, entitled "Shosei Matsumoto Koshirooien", it is a hot topic that Benkei and Togashi of the seventh generation, Danjuro and Koshiro of the seventh generation work day and night. The 7th-generation Koshiro 17th Anniversary, which was held from 100_0899.JPGFebruary to April 1965, was performed by the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater, Kabukiza Theater, Osaka Shin Kabukiza Theater, and the Osaka Shin Kabukiza Theater, and the seventh-generation father, the seventh-generation sons, Danjuro, the 11th generation, Koshiro Yoshitsune, and the first generation Matsukei are young. I'm thrilled to read that it was a really happy trouble for fans.

I watched the evening section where Koshiro played Benkei, Danjuro played Togashi and Fujijuro played Yoshitsune. Kintaro-kun, who has a sword, is cute. If this was the plan, Somegoro was out, so the seventh generation would have been pleased with the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and grandson. It is said that the seventh generation performed Benkei more than 1600 times in his lifetime, and Koshiro of his generation already has 1048 times (before this performance). It was a good time. I inadvertently took the front row, so I decided to look at Benkei's back, who stepped six directions on the flower path. Even so, Mr. Fujijuro is young. "Is it really 80 years old?" He said at the same time as the next seat.

We are looking for a questionnaire for the performance of the new Kabukiza Theater, which will open in April next year. It seems that you will win an admission ticket for the "opening ceremony" by lottery, so I'm going to apply. If you are interested, please refer to the Shochiku website.

 

The other act of the night part is "Goro Kura of the Imperial Palace". This time, there is no temporary flower path, so Goro Kura and Doemon will come out using good and flower paths, and "Goro Kurauchi Beri", which is rarely performed, will appear. It's been since 2003.

It is a setting that seems to be a little impossible that the two people who have their hearts can breathe while playing the shakuhachi and kokyu, but it is said that Ami silent wrote at the request of Kodanji "What makes the actors troubled" . If you are worried about the results, go to the theater. The day part is "Kokuseiya Battle".

A long-established taste you meet on board-AIR Taimeiken Taimeiken x JAL

1. October 14, 2012 08:30

I was invited by the autumn breeze to spend my summer vacation (autumn vacation) three feet late. Because of the budget, it was an economy class, and honestly I had little expectation for in-flight meals. However, what is the second meal before arrival! 100_0791.JPG 100_0792.JPG

 

That "dandelion Omurice" of Taimeiken. What is a surprise when you see a cute package for in-flight with the word "Tokyo Nihonbashi Third Generation AIR Taimeiken" appeared on a tray? ・... Each explanation and how to set omurice are written in Japanese and English. I'm a little surprised to be able to meet a long-established store in Chuo-ku on board.


Taimeiken was founded in 1931 in 1931 and is a long-established Western-style restaurant with no strangers. According to Mr. CA's explanation.

"AIR Taimeiken" is a limited-time project from September 1 to November 30, and long-distance routes from Narita (New York, Boston, Chicago, London, Paris, etc.) departing from Haneda are installed only in business classes on Paris flights. The taste of the long-established store I met on board was quite easy, and it was a very happy surprise that gave me a sense of the pleasure of traveling in the future at the beginning of the trip. It's going to be a delicious trip.


As an aside, CA, who was nearby to me stretching in front of the toilet because it was full, lent me a "bamboo footstep". It was very effective and I used it two or three times before arrival, so I arrived safely without economy class syndrome. Despite long distances, the toilet is clean until just before arrival, and I always feel that Japanese airlines are the best in the cleanliness of the toilet.

 

 

October 1st is "Coffee Day" - Live Coffee Tsukishima Store

1. October 1, 2012 08:45

The new year of coffee under international agreements will be October. For this reason, it was decided in 1983 by the Japan Coffee Association to set October 1 as "Coffee Day" at the beginning of the year.


How long do you have coffee?

According to statistics from the Japan Coffee Association, the highest per capita consumption by dividing the import volume by population is 2,844 cups in Luxembourg (2010 statistics, calculated as using 10g per cup), followed by 1,212 cups in Finland, followed by European countries, followed by 340 cups that are not ranked 10th. By the way, there are 411 cups in the United States and 304 cups in U.K.
Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia are the top importers of Japan by country, with more than 60% in the three countries. I drink an average of three cups a day, so it's like Norwey, Denmark. It is the live coffee Tsukishima store that I always take care of me, who is quite addicted.


100_0779.JPGLive Coffee started in 1958 as a Toraya store as a coffee shop and a wholesaler to restaurants. Subsequently, when the company moved its headquarters to Tsukishima in 1970, retailing began. It has been open as a live coffee since 1984. There are branches in various parts of Tokyo, and you can enjoy coffee at the Tsukiji store in Chuo-ku.


The open and bright shop with glass facing Nishinaka-dori is home to coffee beans from all over the world.


It is said that he visits the production areas of raw beans such as Central and South America and Africa and purchases coffee beans from the traditional cultivation method farm without using any chemicals or chemical fertilizers (from HP). As a result of a variety of cheatings, my recent favorite is "Mokamatari" from Yemen. When the beans are ground with the sleeping eyes, the sweet scent drifts in the chitin and the coffee set is ready, it is completely awakened.

It's a coincidence. "Mocha" was shipped from here under the name of a small port town near the Red Sea in Yemen, so it was named Moka Coffee after the name of the port. After that, the loading port changed to Aden Port on the south coast, but the name remains as it is. Speaking of "Yemen, Aden," "I was twenty years old. The famous opening sentence of Paul Nizan's "Aden Arabia", which says that it was the most beautiful age of a person's life, is nostalgic for generations who were young 40-50 years ago, and may be remembered with bittersweetness.


I think it's fun to enjoy coffee on the autumn day, which will deepen every day, and think about the production areas around the world. It seems that people who drink a lot of coffee statistically have a long life.
