Do you know the program called "Sabo Lehman Amatarou" broadcast late at night? It is a hot topic among sweets lovers now, and the original is a comic, Kabuki actor Matsuya Onoe dresses as a salesman, and works perfectly, but he likes sweets, so when he goes out for business, "Sabott" Sweets Shop, and the shops we pick up every time are real shops, regardless of Japanese and Western. The first one was "Hatsune". I knew it for the first time after a DVD was sent from Kabukimate living in Nara.

 

"Hatsune" is a long-established sweet shop that you don't need to introduce it anymore. It was founded in 1837 in the late Edo period (1837), the name of the shop "Hatsune" was taken from the "Hatsune drum" that appeared in "Yoshitsune Senbonzakura". I've been there several times in front of the store, but this is the first time I've bothered you. Expedition from Roppongi for dessert after lunch with friends of self-proclaimed "Anmitsu critic"! ? I did it. The inside of the store will be relieved in a Showa atmosphere. I found "Hiji Uji Azuki", which was at the beginning of the menu that planned to be "Anmitsu". "Is it the last year of this year?"

 

The shaved ice glass vessels are all felt in the early Showa era, and the Shiratama is in a separate small glass plate. The combination of dark matcha and the sweetness of azuki is exquisite and quickly in the sky. While talking, when I asked, "Is it white honey or black honey?" I was eating It seems that black honey is made from brown sugar from the Yaeyama Islands in Okinawa. We can't do two kinds of driftwood, so we have one piece with black honey. Even though I don't say anything, I was impressed by the fact that a small bowl and a spoon were attached. Customers are coming in one after another. Everyone seems to be familiar with the face, and I wonder if we've been watching TV dramas.

Tokyo Tsukido, which was reopened.

September 13 I tried visiting Tokyo Tsukido for the first time in a long time. We will have a light lunch on the second floor. I was guided by a window seat, so I was just below Chuo-dori, but a separate space where I could not hear the hustle and bustle of the street at all. You can choose two types of sandwiches, each sandwiched in croissants.

It was founded in 1872, and it was founded in 145. Matsuzo Yonezu, the head of the Japanese shop curtain division, manufactured and sold the first old-age sugar (chocolate) in Japan with a wealth of research and ideas, and subsequently exhibited biscuits at the first National Industrial Expo in 1876.

 

He was dissatisfied with being sent to Biscuit with the name of "Kakeshimochi" and kanji. After that, with a recipe from my eldest son who went to San Francisco to study confectionery manufacturing methods, we devised and released one after another high-colored Western confectionery that Japanese people who smelled Civilization and enlightenment, such as cream puffs, Marron Grasse and Marshmallows. In 1877, he moved to the current Ginza 6-chome, where he started French cuisine and curry rice omelets. We offer 8 yen uniform high-cala dishes such as bifteki. According to Hirofumi Yamamoto's "Meiji Gold Account", curry rice was converted from 5 to 7 yen in 1902, and the current price was about 1,000 yen to 1,400 yen, which means that 8 yen in 1877 is quite expensive . Five years from now, it will be founded in 1500 years! It would be fun if you could have a high-cala dish at the time of founding. Yes, it seems that Mr. Sada Matsudaira, who is known for his name, is known for his name. The character of "Kaze" is currently used in Tsukido. *Old letters - characters and typefaces used in the past. It is not currently used

The Wako clock tower, now known as the landmark tower in Ginza, was completed on June 10, 1932 (1932), "Time Anniversary". The design is also known for the design of the architect Jin Watanabe (1887-1973) Dai-ichi Seimeikan and the former Nissha. Do you know the first clock tower until this clock tower is built? The first clock tower was completed in 1894 (1894).

Kintaro Hattori, the founder of Hattori Clock Store, purchased the site of the Asano Shimbun at that time, the predecessor of Wako, and was built. Designed by Tamekichi Ito, an architect returning from the United States. Tamekichi Ito was also famous as an inventor and obtained 70 patents, and at that time it was called "Japanese Leonardo da Vinci". Yukisaku Ito of the stage art and Korenari Senda, director, are sons. From June 10, 1954 (1954), the Westminster-style chime announced the time, and in 2009 (2009), it was recognized as a "modernized industrial heritage" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. .

 

Well, it's a quiz.

Question 1 What is the height of the clock tower from the ground?

Question 2 What is the height of the clock tower?

Problem 3 What is the length of the long needle?

 

For the answer, please see the website of Wako.

 

Currently being held at the bridal fair, "If you purchase bridal products of 150,000 yen or more during the bridal fair, you can take photos in front of the clock tower if you wish. Until October 1,"

 

 

 

How is the free beauty experience in Ginza? -Panasonic Beauty SALON Ginza Open

1. September 23, 2017 14:00

100_2516.JPG

This is Beauty SALON, which was first opened by Panasonic in Tokyo. It's not a beauty salon

It is a salon where you can experience beauty treatment using beauty home appliances for free. The salon opened on Miyuki Street on September 15th, I visited the first week. Basically, it is a reservation system, but I was able to experience it because I had enough time on Weekday Day. Lucky!

 

First of all, naming called "Analysis by Snow View Tay Miller" and "Snow View Tay Miller" at the back of the first floor is good. "Mirror, mirror," in front of the mirror with the intention of becoming a Snow White. Click when the display position is fixed. The analysis will begin. Displays 5 levels from "stains, wrinkles, pores, transparency, spinning lines" "good" to "bad". What is the difference? It's a secret.

 

Recommended equipment will be presented by counseling the analysis results. I decided to try a moisturizing steamer and an ion effector for cosmetic penetration, so I was guided to the second floor. Home appliances are placed in front of the mirror and tablet. I had a lunch appointment after this, and it was rather troublesome to remove makeup, but I couldn't beat temptation and tried the ion effector. How to use it is displayed on the tablet screen, and if you try it according to the instructions, it will be nice. I feel good because I can put it on the staff in charge "I'm good". What's your makeup? Don't worry about it. The cosmetic buffet has foundations and can be used freely. Next time, I would like to make a reservation and try an esthetics in a private room for one hour.

 

I'm currently wondering if I would like to buy a "warm-cooled steamer" OR "ion effector". There is also a hair dryer, and you can purchase products.

There are many shrines on the rooftops of department stores and buildings in Ginza, including "Ginza Iseyo guardian of children and travelers" on the rooftop of Ginza Mitsukoshi. The "Tenku Shrine" introduced this time is located on the 7th floor of the West Building of Ginza Komatsu Building. It is said that it was made with the rooftop garden at the time of the renewal in 2012. I didn't know at all until I heard from my acquaintance. According to the information, "The prototype of the Omiwa Shrine in Nara, whose body is Mt. Miwa, is reproduced, and the big lord Oga is welcomed to Iwaza (Iwakura) at the back of the torii gate." Chozubachi is said to be made of Taiko stone in Kyoto. Open from 11:00 to 20:00, you can enter from the stairs next to the cafe on the 7th floor. It is a place where you can feel luxurious and refreshing like the whole rooftop that seems to be not well known. This Miwa Myojin is exactly the Tenku Shrine.

100_2511.JPG

The "Risa Larson Exhibition, entitled "To Everyone Who Loves North Europe," has started on the 13th.

Risa Larson is a leading Swedish ceramic designer known for his dog and other animal series such as "Mure of Cat" on the entrance panel and girl series such as ABC Dora. "I want to become a Japanese person when I'm reborn and become a potter in Japan," all works like Japanese people. The series of animals with a simple, warm, somewhat sloppy look, MEN, STRONG WOMEN, the Swedish Minister of Finance at that time appeared as a "piggy box" with a cash book. The expression of the face and the balance with the body are similar to the works of Katsura Funakoshi and Toshio Arimoto, which I saw somewhere. The expression of those who are watching 190 works full at the venue seems to be fun. The goods corner was also very fulfilling, and I went there on the second day, but it's so popular that I just wanted to renew the day. Please go out to see the cute and warm works.

"Risa Larson Exhibition" until 25th Matsuya Ginza 8th floor Event Square 10:00 to 20:00 until 25th

Admission fee 1,000 yen
