It's the best for the hot summer! Shaved Ice - "Milk Kintoki" from Ginza Buddha Ransaiya

It's hot! It's hot! On the 23rd, the highest temperature in Japan was updated in Kumagaya for the first time in five years, and it was 41.1 degrees Celsius. It seems to be a "disaster class" heat. The hot summer of twenty-four season old calendar began on the 23rd, and the heat is now in production, but it is about to get tired of the heat. In such a case, if you look at this "ice" noren, you will just enter it. Actually, I'm the second shaved ice today. Since it comes out in the morning, it is a cup first for lunch (it is surprisingly calorie, so it is not suitable for dieting). This time it's 3 o'clock. Ginza Buddha Ransaiya is located on the basement floor of the building between Staba No. 1 store and my bakery, just behind the line of Matsuya Ginza. It's crowded. Everyone thinks that this heat is the same, and "in search of temporary coolness" is almost full. I managed to get a non-smoking seat. Don't hesitate to have "Milk Kintoki". (I got "Uji Milk Kintoki" earlier.) I'm here! 「?」 It seems that there is little milk ...

I had a bite, "?" I did it. When asked the clerk about the taste of milk from the shaved ice, he said, "I'm shaving the frozen ice with milk." And the ice doesn't melt until the end. The last area is often water due to shaved ice, but until the last bite, it is "fine ice". This is nice for shaved ice lovers. Next time, I would like to try this "strawberry milk". I'm going to bother you again when it's so hot. This is a popular shop even in "Morning" (nostalgic), and you can enjoy it from 8:00 to 11:00.

"Young Clock Tower" by Taro Okamoto at Sukiyabashi Park

I went to the popular "Jomon Exhibition" by Hiroshi Azuma. During the day of Weekday, he is a great man despite this heat. It seems that there is also the word "JOMON Girls". From when did "JOMON" become so popular? This time, the main feature is the collection of six Jomon national treasures, including "flame-shaped pottery" and "shading pottery clay figurines", which are familiar in textbooks, but in the 1950s, when the word Jomon period was not yet established, Taro Okamoto said, "I found the origin of Japanese culture in Jomon pottery." Yes, it's Taro Okamoto of "Art is an explosion!" It has become a hot topic that the "Tower of the Sun" of the Osaka Expo in 1970 will be released internally for the first time in almost 50 years, but there was also Taro Okamoto's work in Chuo-ku. It's the clock tower of Sukiyabashi Park. I looked at it after a long time. It was donated in February 1968 by requesting Taro Okamoto to commemorate the formation of the Sukiyabashi Lions Club. It's a little earlier than the work of the Osaka Expo, but it's somewhat similar in shape. It seems that the watch is made of CITIZEN. According to the website of the Taro Okamoto Memorial Hall, "The corners protruding vigorously in all directions express the power to blow off. It seems to be a symbol of Japan and Tokyo that is growing. It's the energy of JOMON itself. This clock tower glows at night. It has been less than two years before the 2020 Olympics. I feel like I can give you new power.
