August is coming to an end. Although it is hot in the twenty-four seasons, it is still not "restorating the heat", but at dusk, it has become somewhat cool (because of my mind). Even so, "It was hot." heat stroke (It's called heatstroke in English. It wasn't carried away, and I went well! I feel like I want to do it. That's why I came to NAMIKI667 on the 3rd floor of Hyatt St Rick Ginza, which was taught by a friend of eating. It's a "reward lunch". Hyatt St Rick Ginza is a new hotel in the Hyatt Hotel chain that opened in the Asahi Ginza Building in January of this year.

NAMIKI667 Lunch is "Express Lunch" (2,000 yen + service charge and tax).

A combination of appetizers, soups, mains, desserts and coffee comes with a glass champagne. Today, it is a 4,000 yen course reserved on the website in advance and it is "appetizer, main, dessert, coffee". A friend said, "Sucleinurethus Caesar salad palmetary cheese, Shiretokoshari's craftsman's pork wheat king shoulder loose, Edo sweet miso pickled seasonal vegetable mashed potatoes, Verona chocolate "Macae" and passion fruit orange essence "

I am "Smoked Sustainable Salmon Confi, Natural Sea Salt Creson Ikra from Tokyo, Fresh Fish Presé" Marinier "Asari Green Asparagus Buson, Claimbrule Seasonal Fruit Raspberry Salbe".

The name of the dish is really hard to imagine. Let's take a look at the picture. I'm glad that this price, service charge and tax are included. It's a reasonable lunch that I don't want to tell you.

When the passionate Koshien is over, this summer is not the end of the day. There is a crowd in front of the entrance of Matsuya. The legendary car of Yujiro Ishihara, Mercedes-Benz 300SL Garwing, is on display. There is a security guard beside him. There is an explanatory version, and "I purchased it with all the appearance fee in 1958. It is said that there are only 6 cars in the world and 3 cars in Japan.

When you enter the venue, you will find people who were old young people and their companions, and young people now.

Last year, 30 years after the death of 2017, I remember seeing reports that the Yujiro Ishihara Memorial Hall in Otaru closed and attracted many fans. This exhibition focuses on the works held at the Yujiro Ishihara Memorial Hall, and according to the explanatory pamphlet at the first exhibition that traverses the whole country, "Drums and props used in movies, costumes worn in TV dramas, more than 100 pieces of special suits and shoes will be exhibited in one hall. " In addition, there are many exhibitions such as ties, cuffs buttons, engagement rings and marriage rings, wedding costumes, and the nostalgic "Ginza Love Story" video and theme song. In "Ginza's Love Story", not only Sukiya Bridge but also Matsuya and Wako from 1962 will appear, so I wanted to borrow it a little. (Only the theme song has been heard a lot at karaoke, but maybe I don't remember actually seeing a movie ...) A superstar who ran through Showa, saying "It's cool!" There were a number of visitors who decided the same pose in front of the poster at the entrance.

The second installment of Ginza Mikawaya's series, which holds a project on the theme of "Learning Edo", is the "Taste of Edo that Onihei said to be Umai".

This is a book of the same name that collects the dishes that appear in the `` Onihei Criminal Book '' and reproduces the seasonal dishes by the era novelist Aiko Kitahara and an essay by Go Osaka, the leading Edo cuisine expert, Hiroshi Fukuda. It is an exhibition based on Shotaro Ikenami's novel is known for its delicious scenes in which the characters eat and gives a vivid impression along with the story, but Edo dishes that have been popular with the common people during the Edo period, such as "One ton", "Gun Chicken Hot Pot" and "Tempura Soba", make us feel "something nostalgic memories". I don't think it's only me to feel the taste of Edo that rises from each scene of the `` Onihei Crime Book '', such as Onihei, who surrounds the military pot with Gotetsu, secret reconnaissances, Chugo Kimura, who sits on a single ladle.

This time, photos and recipes of typical spring, summer, autumn and winter dishes will be exhibited from the book, and the recipes will be copied and you can freely enjoy it. I decided to try "Konjac and fried oil white" tonight. I'm looking forward to it.

There will also be a lecture by Hiroshi Fukuda on the 23rd and 25th. (Reservation required)

August Kabukiza is an annual three-part system. The aim of the stage for young actors in a short performance time has taken root, and it is a great success every day. I saw the third part the other day, and today is the second part. The second part is the third time that can be said to have become an annual event in August, "Tokaido Naka-Kurige" This time, "Re-Isesan! ?　The first "YJKT" (Menmen that does not come back) goes to Las Vegas, last year the Kabukiza murder case, and this year Kitahachi dressed as Sarunosuke died. Taro Soyogi (Somegoro) and Masayukisuke (Danko) proposed visiting Ise to Yajirobei of Koshiro who mourns, and Kitahachi, who became ghosts, follows and causes a rare riot. What's the difference? The opening of the curtain is at Kitahachi's funeral, up to the "wreath from Trump". It is a luxurious cast by the early replacement of Shichinosuke, Shido and Nakaku, the Daio yama of Udanji Temple, the child demon near the right of his son, Yonekichi, Shingo, and Chinosuke. Mrs. and Mrs. yama of Udanji and Shingo took a picture of Bashibashi by holding a smartphone and laughing at "until selfie". What is eye-catching is the growth of Somegoro, Danko, and close to the right. It's such a great surprise after a year. Somegoro laughed at the audience, saying, "I'm a beautiful boy." The last is my promise. This time, Kitahachi, Yajirobei, Taro Soyogi. Masayuki's four-seater ride (two pairs each) was very satisfied with the audience. Sarunosuke is on the stage and is young, isn't he?

In the third part, "Area Sango Important" Koshiro plays Gengobee Satsuma in the first role. Sangoro, who plays Shido in a story called Chushingura Outerden, knows that the samurai who was deceived for the main line was actually the main line. The beauty of the scene of Gengobei's five-member cut and the killing of Sangoro's wife Koman (Shichinosuke-beautiful) who knew that he was deceived makes me feel that Kabuki is still. The place where Koman, who has only his neck, opens his mouth to the chopsticks that Gengobei offered, is north and south.

A three-part system with a variety of comedy and live care, and a three-part system is time for employees to manage. It has easy-to-understand performances, so it is recommended for those who are watching for the first time.

A total of 140 million copies, the world-famous block manga NARUTO has become a new Kabuki. I'll hurry to Shimbashi Enbujo. I realized that the atmosphere of the audience was quite different from usual. Customers are overwhelmingly "young" "many men" and are both young? An elementary school boy with his parents. NARUTO fans have a wide layer. For those who don't know the manga NARUTO, the rough line extracted from the Shochiku pamphlet.

"A battle action story depicting the growth of falling spilled ninja and Uzumaki Naruto, where the leaves of trees, the village of ninjas, grew up in the village of ninjas. Uzumaki Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy and performs his duties under "Hatake Kakashi" along with "Uchiha Sasuke" and "Haruno Sakura". Naruto felt friendship while looking at Sasuke as a rival, but Sasuke had a dark past in which all his family members were killed by his brother, "Uchiha Itachi." Naruto and others face numerous trials, meet Jiraiya and Tsunate, and grow after fighting with Ojamaru. And the battle of Naruto begins now in order to defeat the powerful enemy that shakes the world, "Uchi is Madara."

"Uzumaki Naruto" is Minosuke, "Uchiha Sasuke" is Hayato, Ojamaru is Shozaburo, Jiraiya is Saruya, and the enemy role "Uchiha Madara" is a double cast by Sarunosuke and Ainosuke. Today is Ainosuke's day. The script and direction are G2, which has a reputation for the new Kabuki, such as "Shinonome Karasukoi imitation Koto" and "Arashigaoka". You will not get bored of 3 hours, such as a beautiful sword with a sense of speed, and the surroundings of Naruto and Sasuke using large water. You can enjoy it without a price. Are you young on both sides? The audience was also watching. There are plenty of special goods and even special Naruto lunch boxes. The theater is also hot, but why don't you go out to feel the enthusiasm of the topical work? Shimbashi Enbujo Chiakiraku has a holiday on the 27th, and since it is a double cast, please check the schedule before making a reservation.

This year, 50 years after Tsuguji Fujita's death, special exhibitions have been held in several places, and we will guide you to two things related to Chuo-ku.

One is the "50 Years After Death Tsuguji Fujita Exhibition" being held at Gallery Tanaga in Ginza 7-chome.

Gallery Tanaga opened in 1969 as the only art gallery in Japan that handles Western painting masters. It was also the founder Kiyoji Tamenaga who deepened friendship with buffet, Fujita, Ogis, etc., and introduced ecole de Paris painters such as Modilia-ni, Chagall, and Utriro, which were rarely known in Japan at the time. "This time, more than 40 exhibitions of masterpieces such as oil paintings and drawings that stand out of line drawing" (from HP)

The other is the "50 Years After Death Tsuguji Fujita Ceiling Exhibition" being held at the Guest House Akasaka Rikyu. The reason why it is "Chuo-ku related" is that this ceiling painting was displayed on the ceiling on the second floor of a Columban confectionery store in Ginza 6-chome. I went right away and saw it.

The guesthouse is the only Neo Baroque-style Western-style palace in Japan built in 1909 by architect Tokuma Katayama in the place where the Nakayashiki of the Kishu Tokugawa family was located, and it is the first building since the Meiji era.

Columbang was founded in Omori in 1924. In 1929, a store was opened at the site of Ginza 6-chome Triangle Hall. (It seems that you do not know the location of this "triangle hall" according to Koichi Noguchi's "Ginza Cafe History") After that, the Ginza Colombang Main Store will be opened on the west side of Ginza Street, on the corner of Ginza 6-chome Kojunsha Street. According to Columban's website, "The first floor will be a modern style, the second floor will be an ancient French style salon, and the second floor salon will have a ceiling mural by Tsuguji Fujita in 1935." In 1975, this ceiling painting was donated to the Guest House. "The founder, Kuniki Kadokura, was a Daizen dormitory worker in Imperial Household Agency who was involved in making sweets." There was an explanation of the guest house guide from the edge.

Columbang made the first shortcake in Japan, and it was Columbang that held Japan's first "Paris Festival" in Ginza in 1931. The six donated ceiling paintings are open to the public.

Columbang, Inc.　

It seems that it is usually displayed in the entrance hall and the director's office, but it is a luxurious time to be able to see Fujita's work while visiting luxurious rooms that have only been seen on TV, such as press conferences after the summit meeting. is. Since it is a reservation system, there is no congestion, and there is a guide on each floor to explain carefully. The works are the following six points.

"Women in the vineyard", "Mother and daughter", "Women and musicians in a row of poplar trees", "Women and musicians holding dogs", "Women and servants", and "Women and angels" are oil paintings and canvas. Since it was a ceiling painting, it was explained that "it is drawn assuming that it looks up from below", but it is choppy to look at the drifting stones at that angle.
