"Let's eat the last Christmas dessert plate" was invited by a friend of a devout and went to Hotel Seiyo Ginza. The last Christmas in the West of the Hotel, which is scheduled to close in May next year, is a wonderful decoration from the entrance, and you can see people who have cameras here and there.

When I visited the hotel, the design was Mr. Daniel Ost, who also served as the decoration of the Royal Weding of the Belgian royal family.

Toward the desired dessert plate, go to the bar & lounge "Prelude" on the 2nd floor.

The photo on the left is the Christmas dessert plate. The contents are "Hojicha Sabailon Grassecappuccino tailoring, chocolate phondan, red fruit and Kirsh cream bashlin, dried fruit tart, Stollen, Gimov" coffee or tea from behind. 3,500 yen including tax service charge. While wondering which one to come from, according to the recommendation, the taste of Hojicha cappuccino is certainly the taste of Hojicha from the foam of Cappuccino. Next time, challenge Fondan Chocolat. I replaced three cups of coffee, and I thought it would be impossible to complete the meal, but I got to Marshmallows around me. Evening is already in the evening when I spend a quiet afternoon that I don't think of Friday before the three consecutive holidays of Christmas, chatting with my friends and relaxing with luxurious desserts. I was surprised that I spent more than 2 hours in no time. My friend sometimes goes to a nap here. ・・ ・ The service also makes customers feel comfortable with somewhere. When I think this is the last Christmas dessert you can taste here, I remember the opening 25 years ago and feel a bit sentimental. It was a very fashionable and longing place as a hideaway luxury hotel in the city. You're lonely. This Christmas dessert plate is until the twenty-fifth.

The topical stage where Tamasaburo Bando appears in Nihonbashi after a long absence. "Takashi" played by Tamasaburo, who has a reputation for Kyoka things, such as "Takashi Takano", "Kaijin Villa", and "Tenshu Monogatari". The stage is Nihonbashi at the beginning of the Taisho era, and the other geisha Kiyoha is played by Keiko Takahashi. When Tamasaburo in a gorgeous geisha appears at the base of "Spring Oboro no Ichiishibashi", the venue is a momentary scene, great applause for the beauty. Natsuki Saito, who plays the role of Sensei, who has been selected and reputed this time, is also fresh and nice.

At the premiere in Hongo-za in 1915, I went around the "Nishikawaji Jizoji Church" where Shotaro Hanayagi, who was still running at the time of longing for this role, visited to pray. In the play, the "West Riverside guardian of children and travelers of Marriage" often appears. guardian of children and travelers has been very popular with local people. According to the explanation board next to the stone steps, "In 1718 (1718), we built Dou in the middle of Nishikawagishicho and laid the Jizo Bodhisattva, which is said to be the belongings of Tendai sect monk Tenkai." It is said that Jizo Bodhisattva has been worshiped as a prayer temple for extending life and giving well-being because it is a spiritual experience when praying to the heart for a limited time.

The "Sensei's figure" here was drawn and dedicated to Komura Yukidai on the occasion of the second performance at Meijiza, where Shotaro Hanayagi was appointed as the role of Osensei. It is.

Looking at the play and visiting the place where it was set is doubled. Of course, there is no scenery as it was at the time, but "Is it around here that let the ripples and clams after Hinamatsuri?" It's quite fun to walk while imagining "What's your house?" Let's visit the guardian of children and travelers of "Wish" and "Marriage" for finishing.

It was the day after the death of Kansaburo, and in the intermission we heard voices mourning the passing too early. In Minamiza Kazumise, he seems to cry on the name of Kankuro's attack, and I am worried now. I pray for your happiness.
