A friend who likes a new thing asked, "A new collaboration product with Kabukiza appeared in Wako's PR magazine chime, did you see it?" 。 Every month at the Kabukiza Theater, I'm looking into a shop during the intermission to see if there's a new souvenir. ・I don't seem to see such a thing. I'm going out late in July, and finally today, face-to-face with the actual thing. When I asked the sales floor, he said, "I made a new one to commemorate the first anniversary of the opening in April." I didn't notice it all the time.

It's 1100 yen for 6 small bags. Perfect as a souvenir to commemorate the Kabuki Theater theater. If you are looking around the souvenir section, the intermission will end in no time. Yes, the play in July is almost full day and night due to the popular face-to-face between Ebizo and Tamasaburo. Daytime is through the summer kyogen's classic "Summer Naniwakan". I first saw the places of "Otaichaya", "Dan Nananai" and "on the roof". When Danchichichi appeared from the prison to the hairdressing bed and changed to a refreshing appearance, it was applauded. Tamasaburo is a good spirit, and Nakasha is playing his father-in-law, Yoshiheiji. At night, it is Kyoka's "Tenshu Monogatari". Why don't you sweat a different sweat to the performances of popular actors at Kabukiza during the hot summer? It's until the twenty-ninth.

Today, the "Declaration of the end of the rainy season" came out. Well, the rainy season starts even if the "declaration" is issued or not, but it is scary to imprint that it will not be a full-fledged summer arrival unless the "bui season declaration" is issued. Speaking of "summer", it is still "shaved ice". I was worried about this "Ibaraki Marche"'s "natural ice shaved ice" every time I stopped by Senttle, a bread specialty store. Just looking at the signboard that seems to be delicious until now with bad timing, I put it in today. The restaurant part has a lot of space, but just after lunch time is over, the state of "chartered". I wonder if it's such a luxury!

 Natural ice is sent directly from Ibaraki every day. There are three types, "strawberry, tea, and mango", and today we made "Hokota Strawberry Shigure" 580 yen. This "Hokota Strawberry Shigure", which is filled with freshly shaved ice, has a handmade syrup of ripe strawberries, and the strawberries in the syrup can still see grains. It's an impression that it's handmade. As you eat shaved ice, there is a part where the ice sticks together and hardens, but because of natural ice, you do not encounter this lump until the end. Smoothly, squashing continues to the last spoon. It's a great surprise for shaved ice lovers. "Sashima tea Sansai Shigure" is so-called Uji Kintoki, but here we use "Sarushima tea" from Ibaraki. "Sarushima tea" is well known, so I asked, "I want you to write it in kanji." If there are many people who can't read it, just touch ruby and it's going to be a topic instead. Lunch and dayners using ingredients from Ibaraki, which are blessed with seafood such as soba and pork, as well as shaved ice, seem to be popular. "I brought it to Ibaraki's most delicious Toko Ginza" is the phrase of Ibaraki Prefecture antenna shop "Ibaraki Marche". It's going to be a hot summer again this year. I have a feeling that the day of going to "natural ice" will continue.

Even though the declaration of the end of the rainy season has not yet been made, this heat, before the arrival of the full-fledged summer, it is around this time, but how about everyone? In such a case, "Ginza Kiraku", who is popular for "Saga beef original steamed steamed" and limited to eating delicious food and refreshing it. It is located on the 5th floor of the building facing Namiki-dori St. in Ginza 5-chome. The "Kiraku Ginza" store opened in September 2005 as an antenna restaurant that is not an antenna shop of "JA Saga". It's almost 10 years now, and it's become one of the shops that are completely rooted in Ginza and difficult to make reservations.

I made a reservation after a little shift, but the large store is almost full. We decided to ask for the recommended "original steamed steamed" of a friend of the eating shinbo. Depending on the meat rank, you can choose 9000 yen for "highest Saga beef", 5500 yen for "Saga beef", and 3000 yen for "domestic beef". This time, we asked for "Saga beef" 5500 yen course "Assorted appetizers-Aya of Saga", "Kiraku Seiro steamed", " freshly cooked rice and hometown pickles", "Special dessert-season Umakamon" and "Ureshino tea" is.

Assorted appetizers include cold potage of corn soup, cold Saga beef, confi, and eggplant soaking, and the main Saga beef steamed is seasonal vegetables and mushrooms spread on a 30 cm square. Saga beef is served when vegetables and vegetables are soft. The person in charge will put it in one dose at a time, and the person in charge will sort it on the plate. Two kinds of sauces, ponzu and sesame sauce, have been repeated several times, and that amazing volume of vegetables have been completely flattened. ！The next one brought is a cute size j kettle, the most difficult to cook with time, or the shiny rice grains stand. Rice "Dream no Shizuku" from Saga. My friend changed it twice, so I was happy to have a meal. The dessert is Kinako's ice cream, fruit compote and jelly, banana and mango cream brulee. It's Ureshino tea. The vessels to be offered are Fukagawa Seiki, Kakiemon Kiln, Taroemon Nakazato Kiln, and Hizen Mei Owa Paper, which I first met. Mei Owa Paper is an old-fashioned Japanese paper that began in the Genroku era, but "Kaji" is the raw material. There are many mulberry and mitsumata, but this is the first time Kaji. Because of JA's management, most of the ingredients are sent directly from Saga, agricultural products in Saga Prefecture, livestock, etc. "Saga no Umakamon", and I feel like I want to say "TEAM Saga". Also noteworthy is the good feeling of the service, the knowledge of the response, the timing of the service and the pleasant customer service after a long absence, and a friend of Kyushu Biiki said, "The service is still Kyushu." I'm proud of my hometown. How do you spend a delicious time in Ginza surpassing the heat?

The typhoon has returned the heat. After the rain in the evening, the feeling alone is a little cool and cool, and at a shop in Ginza where there is a waiting place. A member who has already been completed said, "What happened?" Apparently, he misunderstood that the start time was earlier. (Is it no longer a trend of Alz?) It is a "drinking party" called the "planning meeting" of the wine party. Today's centerpiece is awakening from Margo 85 and nearly 30 years of sleep, how are you feeling? Member The preservation condition on the lower curve of the residential land is also good, and the talk is even more exciting. Instead of dessert wine, today we have received "Silver Peony", which has arrived with a stylish greeting saying "I will attend on behalf of you." It has been commercialized since 2012 by the collaboration of Sukagawa Hometown Sosei Club and NPO Ginza Mitsubachi Project, and this is the third year this year. Sake rice is "the incense of dreams." "Junmai Ginjo" is said to be made from rice koji and water on white rice less than 60% of rice polishing ratio. I've heard the explanation many times, but I'm passing through my head. (There are genres that I can't remember) In a meeting with several sommeliers and wine advisors, I'm dedicated to eating and drinking.

Well, how is your evaluation?
