“Utafukuzu” and “Kabukiza Senbei”-2 types of Shinkai-ba commemorative products

1. May 18, 2013 09:00

Discover new products in the Kabukiza Commemorative Product, where many collaboration products have been born since the new opening. "Kabukiza Senbei" (Iwateya) sold at "Iwate Ginga Plaza" opposite Kabukiza theater and "Kabuku-mame" of "Mameya Ohara" (limited sale at Mitsukoshi Ginza store) .

"Kabukiza Senbei" was also introduced in Nikkei, but a new product that combines " sesame, apple, pumpkin taste" with the color of the official curtain on the conventional southern rice cracker. There are two types: 950 yen with 9 cylinders and 530 yen with 8 bags.


100_1053.JPGI often have cream cheese on plains of the traditional southern rice crackers, but this is also a new taste. It is also affordable to give souvenirs, and it is also sold at Kabukiza stands.

I happened to find "Utafukuzu" in Ginza Mitsukoshi. It seems to be a creation to commemorate the opening, and this also expressed the three colors of the formal curtain with black-bamboo charcoal, red-lobster, green-matcha. To catch, like "a style of watching Kabuki while picking beans" like "a popcorn in a movie" is popular.

 

This is a limited sale at the Mitsukoshi Ginza store. He said, "I'm sure to go back and forth to the theater."

New products are being born more and more, and it seems that the whole city is excited about "Shin Kabukiza". It's a bit difficult to get out of "pure gold large format / oval", but please feel free to come here. It will be a hot topic for both souvenirs and home use.


"Utafukuzu" is 1050 yen for a set of 3 pieces.

 

 

The 2nd month of the roofing performance - the Kabukiza Theater in May

1. May 15, 2013 09:00

The roofing performance also started in the second month, but it was still bustling. It became a Kabukiza theater for two days after the GW to guide acquaintances who were asked to "go to the new Kabukiza Theater". In the intermission, the souvenir shop "Kibikicho" and the 3rd floor "Medetaiyaki".

I was guided to the cafe, but I was able to walk without hitting other people. I laughed with the cash register, "I'm now able to walk." Even now, the congestion in April was amazing! There is one happy discovery. I didn't feel it because the first day was in the third row, but on the second day, if I was worried that it might be difficult to see in the 12th row, this would be much easier to see than before the renovation . I realized that it was announced that "the slope on the first floor was strengthened." I think it's okay if there's a big one in the front seat.

The acquaintances were very satisfied with the impression that the stage was near.

"Sannin Yoshizo" is a luxurious face-to-face meeting of Kikugoro, Nizaemon, and Koshiro, and "Yoshidaya" is also a combination of a famous combination of Nizaemon and Tamasaburo, so friends who were not too related to Kabuki seemed to be enjoying it, and I was relieved. I would be really happy if Kabuki fans could increase as much as possible with the new opening.

It seems to be full, but depending on the date, it seems still possible to get it.

Children's guardian angel-Tsukudatendaiko Ikuchizoson and Hodo Inari Shrine

1. May 8, 2013 09:00

May 5th is Children's Day. It was designated as a national holiday in 1948 (1948) as a "day to value the child's personality, measure the happiness of the child, and thank the mother." . In the Edo period, the infant mortality rate was high at 20-25%. Famous as a child, the eleventh family, is blessed with 52 children, but 25 of them have died. It is said that both the shoguns and the common people wish for the healthy growth of children, so it is said that Yazaemon, the town master, enshrined the Inari of a child-raising prayer in Edo Castle in the middle of the Edo period as a guardian principal in the town. It is located in a slightly hard-to-understand alley, but three people visited during the 2-3 minutes of taking the picture! !

  "Tsukuda Tendai guardian of children and travelers" is also in the alley. "Myoun Yamato Nao, who was said to be Jizo Hioka, applied for the construction of 84,000 stone guardian of children and travelers, and worshiped the guardian of children and travelers depicted by Sutokuin Shrine. "I gave it to believers all over the country," said guardian of children and travelers. It is rare that it is engraved on a flat natural stone with the inscription "Tendai Kurahioka Myoun" in the form of "Jizo Bodhisattva" "a jewel on the right and shakujo on the left".

The GW is approaching the end, and the weather continues so pleasant that the expression of the moon appears unintentionally as "May when the wind is fragrant". Why don't you visit the "Children's Guardian God" who has been praying for the healthy growth of children since the Edo period?
