"Let's eat the last Christmas dessert plate," I was invited by a friend of mine and went to Hotel Seiyo Ginza. The last Christmas of the Hotel West, which will be closed in May next year, is a wonderful decoration from the entrance, and you can see people holding cameras here and there.

When I asked the hotel, the design was Daniel Ost, who also decorated the royal wedding of the Belgian royal family.

Aiming for the desired dessert plate, go to the bar and lounge "Prelude" on the 2nd floor.

The photo on the left is the Christmas dessert plate. The contents are "Hojicha Sabayon Grasse Cappuccino tailoring, chocolate fondant, bachelin with red fruits and kirsch cream, dried fruit tart, stollen, gimmob" coffee or tea from the back. 3,500 yen including tax service charge. While wondering where to start, follow the recommendation and follow the recommendation, from Hojicha cappuccino tailoring, you will surely taste the Hojicha from the foam of cappuccino slightly warm. Next, challenge the Fondan Chocolat. I replaced three cups of coffee, and I thought it was impossible to complete the meal, but I had the surrounding marshmallow. It's already evening when I'm spending a quiet afternoon that I don't think it's Friday before the three consecutive holidays of Christmas while chatting with my friends without hesitation and relaxing with a luxurious dessert. I’ve spent more than two hours so quickly, amazing. My friend sometimes takes a nap here. ・・ ・The service will also make you feel comfortable with you somewhere. I think this is the last Christmas dessert you can taste here, reminding me of the opening 25 years ago, and I feel a little sentimental. It was a very stylish and longing place as a hidden luxury hotel in the city. I miss you. This Christmas dessert plate is until the 25th.

This is a topical stage where Tamasaburo Bando will appear in Nihonbashi for the first time in a long time. "Otaka" after a long time played by Tamasaburo, who has a reputation for Kyoka Monogatari, such as "Takaya Seiji", "Umijin Villa", and "Tenshu Monogatari". The stage is Nihonbashi at the beginning of the Taisho era, and Keiko Takahashi plays another geisha Kiyoha. When Tamasaburo in a gorgeous geisha appears under the "Spring Oboro no Ichiishibashi", the venue is a scene for a moment and a great applause for the beauty. This time, Natsuki Saito, who plays the role of Sensei, who is a great selection and reputation, feels good for the first time.

On the occasion of the premiere at Hongo Theater in 1915, I went around the "Nishikawaji Jizoji Church" where Shotaro Hanayagi, who was still running when he longed for this role, visited for prayer. In the play, there is often a line called "West Bank of Marriage guardian of children and travelers". It's guardian of children and travelers that has been very popular with locals. According to the explanation board next to the stone steps, "In 1718 (1718), Dou was built in the middle of Nishikawagishicho, and Jizo Bodhisattva, which is said to be the property of the Tendai sect monk Tenkai. Jizo Bodhisattva is said to have gathered religion as a prolonging prayer temple that extends life and gives welfare because it is a spiritual experience when praying to the heart for a limited time.

This "Osensei no Figure" was used by Shotaro Hanayagi in the role of Sensei, and was dedicated to Settai Komura on the occasion of the second performance in Meijiza, which became the role of Sensei. .

Seeing the play and visiting the place where it became the stage is doubled. Of course, there is no scenery as it was at that time, but "Is this area where the fish and clams were thrown into the river after Hinamatsuri?" It is quite fun to walk while imagining, "What is your house?" For finishing, please visit the guardian of children and travelers of "Wishings" and "Marriage".

It was the day after the news of Kansaburo's death, so in the intermission we heard voices mourning his passing too early. In Minamiza Kaomise, I'm afraid I'm crying over Kankuro's attack name and I'm worried now. I pray for your happiness.
