It's already autumn when I notice it. Hashinosuke's name "Shiban" was announced, and it is finally the beginning of the full-fledged play season. In the Kabukiza Theater in October, "Nisei Shoroku Onoe 27th Anniversary kyogen" is "Yanone" in the daytime section (a luxurious version in which Tojuro works for Yumekura's Juro), "Bunshichigen Yui", and the evening section "Hairyu Shinzo". Mr. Matsu Midori, his grandson, works for Goro of "Yanone" and Shinzo of "Hairyu". Shinzo is the first role and his great-grandson Sakon also appeared in the role of Chochi. In addition, Nizaemon, who was certified as a "living national treasure" in July, is "first in the east", but it is also a hot topic to play the reputation of "Ichijo Daikura".

In the intermission, I found the Kabukiza Theater original thundering of "New Release" and "Genji Maki" by famous confectionery Tsuwano based on this month's performance. "Genji Maki" is a legendary snack that "feudal lord Tsuwano gave it to Kira Uenosuke along with his gifts and played the role of the Imperial Envoy safely." It's only for this month. It is unusual to have a fourth performance, so when the curtain of "Ichijo Okura Tan" came down, "Preparing to return home" was seen everywhere, and lively laughter occurred everywhere. The one next to me is about to return. I'm looking forward to playing "Otobatake Danmari" in the daytime section, and Tamasaburo-san plays "Akoya" since 2007.

"It's from today," said Taysalon on the second floor of Wako Annex, brought by a friend who has no eyes on sweets. We are looking for "Marron Parfait" from October 1st today, autumn-only menu until November 30th. (1944 yen including tax)

As soon as I was brought to the table, I cheered (small)!

The top is a Mont Blanc-shaped yellow chestnut cream of cake, a chestnut ice cream just below it, astringent skin boiled or sweet-broiled chestnut, and a crispy one? The contrast between the smooth cream and the texture is exquisite. And there is a coffee jelly on the bottom of the glass. It has a nice balance that tightens sweetness. Take off your hat. After all, the plan to have fun without stopping the hand holding the spoon, but the meal is complete at once. It's a word of "delicious".

Wako's Taysalon is a cozy adult space with a calm interior, well-served staff services, and uncompressed. This "goodness" may be so pleased with fans like friends like Wako.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Tricolor head office in 1936 (Showa 11). It was October 1st, "Coffee Day". It's been a long time since the atmosphere of the shop has not changed at all. To the second floor of the non-smoking seat. You can see female customers in the full shop. I'm popular "Antaek Brend" (880 yen) My friend waits for a while and arrives finally!

"After receiving the order, grind the beans and drink it with your own flannel drip type, carefully extract it," says the shop's guide, "Wait a little" is "postponement of fun." The balance between acidity and bitterness is just right for my taste. "Antake Brend" is the original shop, "We use beans harvested in high altitude mountains in Central and South America to reproduce the taste of when Japan was treated as a special country in the Showa 30s when very good beans were entered. " Here's a quiz. Do you have any idea about the price of coffee at the time of its founding? It seems that it was "15 yen." Painters and writers who returned from Paris mainly with Petitfur and Eclair! Or it seems that it was popular among Keio University students.

The original design of the gas lamps at the entrance of the shop is from a long-established gas appliance company in London, which is the only one in Tokyo.

Autumn is getting deeper and deeper. Why don't you stop by to enjoy "80 years of specialty coffee"?

Speaking of "Ariga Photo Studio", many people will miss the time when it was said that "the matchmaking photo is Ariga". At the end of the hot summer, Ariga Photo Studio received a notice along with this exhibition about "Ginza Studio Closed" due to aging of the building. "Eh!" At milestone events such as family enrollment, graduation, coming-of-age ceremony, annual celebration, etc., I was a little shocked to see "Ariga" taking pictures. I was looking into the exhibition right away. It's been a long time since I visited the store, but when I step into it, I feel relieved to have a calm atmosphere that is the same as before. The exhibition is on the walls of stairs leading to the first and second floors, and on the second floor. In addition to photographs of celebrities who feel the postwar history of Japan such as "Kishichiro Okura", "Mrs. MacArthur and Lady", "Seiji Kaya", "Haruo Sato", "Eisaku Sato", etc. There are also photos of a gentle family, such as children in uniforms, and this makes you feel like you are having a happy separation. It's sad that there will be no studio with that classic and heavy atmosphere, but new shoots will be taken in hotel studios in Nihonbashi (Royal Park) and Shinjuku (Keio Plaza). The exhibition will be held until December, so please take a look at the buildings with the atmosphere of the Taisho era and Showa eras and the photos that make you feel the times.

Ariga Photo Studio Ginza Main Store Ginza 7-3-6 TEL 3573-4545 The last shooting date on Sunday, December 6

Photo Exhibition From September 26 to Sunday, December 20

Closed Tuesday from 10:00 to 18:00
