August is the last week, as expected, the heat seems to have subsided a little. To Matsuya to watch the "Shotaro Ikenami" exhibition that started yesterday. The photos are displayed in front of "Matsuya Kanda", which Ikenami liked to go in front of the elevator on the 1st floor, and I was somewhat excited because I also love soba here. At the entrance of the 8th floor hall, you can see Matsuya Kanda's flowers along with flowers from Eemon Yoshiemon, who plays "Kihei" on TV and movies, and Maiko Kaji of "Strict Reconnaissance Masa".

It has been 90 years since a writer loved by many fans was born in works such as "Onihei Crime Book", "Swordsman Business", and "Sanada Taiheiki". Born in Asakusa in 1923. Kazuya Naka's original illustrations were exhibited together in the handwritten manuscript, and I remembered when I was absorbed in it and I missed it. What is overwhelmed is a list of huge works. I knew that I wrote a lot, but when it was arranged in a row, "Awesome!" That's right. A diary for three years, which can be called a "food record" that shows the reproduction and eating habits of the study that was written, a work that depicts overseas travel and familiar scenery. So TV and movie fans also recreates the costumes of "Kihei" and "Umeyasu", the soldier pots and "Gotetsu" used by Onihei for secret talks. There is also a "Ikenami Works Quiz Tour" using 7 places in the department store, and it seems that you can get a small gift if you answer correctly. It's a bit disappointing that I couldn't participate in the quiz because I didn't have time. I would like to stop by again when I have time. It seems that it will still take some time to get "cool", so how about enjoying the heat and the exhibition at the department store together?

"Shotaro Ikenami Exhibition" - until September 9th (Monday)

August 2 The curtain of the first day of "Nyo-kabuki" has opened. Kabukiza, which has been prosperous since the opening of the new store in April, has the word "large entry" in the middle of the goods today.

Kabukiza's "August Noriyo Kabuki" started in 1990 (1990). After a low fee, it became a three-part system, and the number of young Kabuki fans has been increased due to the struggle of Hanagata actors, such as Kansaburo and Goro Mitsutsu, the 18th generation during the Kankuro era. Before that, many people remember that performances other than Kabuki were held in August. From this year, Kabukiza has been performing Kabuki performances throughout the year.

It's been a long time since I saw it on the first day, and I'm thrilled. There are also many actors near the reception. It's the first day. Today we watch Part 3 "Fox Fox Fox Fox Bananashi" and "Stick Shibari". "Fox Fox Fox Fox Bananashi" is a kabuki of comedy by Shuji Hojo. "Eh!" with a donden return of being deceived or deceived "Ah!" I never stop laughing from the audience. It is strange that Hashinosuke, a raw odor shaven who was approached by `` Osome '' played by Kamezo called `` Ushimusume '', desperately endures the laughter coming up with Kamezo's tremendous expression. I'm blowing out together. When the cheerful appearance of Utae Nakamura (81 years old) appears in the young team, the voice of "Narukomaya!" "Bashibari" is a humorous popular dance that has been performed many times in the combination of Goro Mitsu and Kansaburo who died, but this time it will be played by Goro Mitsu and Kankuro.

"Fox raccoon Fox Fox Bananashi" is also a performance performed by Kansaburo of the 17th and 18th generations. Obon is also approaching. I laughed a little while laughing when I thought that they might be talking about "I'm still far away" or saying "Don't do it!" .

Please come and see the activities of young flower-shaped actors blowing away the heat.

Part 1 "Nozaki Village" and "Spring Kogami Lion" started at 11:00

Part 2 "Shinzo Hairyu" and "Kasane" starts at 14:15

When I was talking about "the number of old-fashioned coffee shops has decreased," a friend told me that "there is a shop where you can drink delicious coffee roasted in-house" is "11bo Coffee Shop".

Before entering the shop, the good smell of coffee drifts because there is a roasting room at the entrance. It's on the first floor, but the entrance is a little deeper, so if you don't be careful, you'll pass by.

One step further, old jazz flows quietly from the vacuum tube in a unified space with a slightly retro atmosphere interior, so I don't think it's the city of Ginza facing Sotobori-dori St.

Beyond the large counter, there are glass bottles containing coffee beans. Looking at the label on the bottle, it seems that you can travel around the world while staying in Tanzania, Kenya, Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, India, Sumatra, etc. My friend asked for the usual Italian roast (650 yen) for "limited time" Bolivian Copacabana (800 yen). Every time you order, weigh the beans, grind them, and drip them. It is quite a powerful technique to pour hot water little by little from a copper pot.

He said that he had actually had tendon sheathitis if he was talking with jokes saying, "It's going to be tendon sheathitis." Now it's ready. What a cup is Wedgwood. We had the recommended Gato Chocolat together. I don't get tired just by looking at the hand of the drip that responds to the coming order one after another.

When the customer calmed down a little, we talked to a female manager.

It is said that the shop was founded in 1978, so it has been operating for 35 years, and the store name CAFÉ BECHET is taken from jazz Sydney Bechette, who was a fan, and "11fusa" is derived from the words of Confucius. In addition, this time I have a full-time roast (650 yen) and my friends have the same Italian roast. The next cup is white porcelain. It is said to be a hotel specification in Wedgwood. Perhaps because of my mind, the temperature of the coffee is different from the previous one. ・・ ・ When asked, "It is easy to cool for those who use sugar and cream, so the temperature is slightly higher, and in the case of black, the temperature is slightly lowered so that it is easy to drink immediately!" ! It's a great concern. Sometimes there are customers who say "lukewarm". ・・・・

When you listen to some nostalgic jazz flowing from the vacuum tube and look at the art of the drip, a quiet and luxurious time flows. When I noticed, "Oh, this time!" 。 It was a pleasant afternoon.

Next time, I would like to try '93 Peru (1000 yen), a vintage that has been laid down for more than 10 years. (In fact, I was ashamed to know that coffee beans have vintages.)

It's right next to Ginza 1-chome Exit 4, so if you want to enjoy a delicious coffee and a relaxing time, please take a look. Of course, we also sell coffee beans.
