This summer, rather than intense heat, it's just as intense heat.

Every day, the sun shines brightly.

Even if you say on TV or radio, "Don't go out as much as possible", this is the only thing you can do.

It is said that parasols for men are increasing sales, but I still want to take a break in the heat, but I can't just enter so much coffee shops.

 

In such a case, I would appreciate the free break space.

On the way to St. Luke International Hospital from the exit of Hatchobori at Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line, "Oasis Cafe" at the daily sports center is a free space that anyone can use.

At the entrance, it says, "Please use it as a free space for breaks and meetings." A vending machine is placed in a space of about 10 tsubo, and there is a smoking space in the back.

It is said that you can bring your own lunch box, but on weekdays there is a lunch box at the entrance on a daily basis.

The price is about 500 yen, which is quite reasonable.

You don't have to go to buy it.

　

 

It seems that there are many people from nearby companies who use it, and it is full at noon, but during the Bon holiday, I was able to relax slowly.

 

Even if you are going to St. Luke's International Hospital or public health center, it is a great space if you want to take a break even though it is close to the station.

 

You can also see the greenery of Tsukiji River Park from the glass windows, and I hope that there will be more such a space, even though the land price is high in Chuo-ku.

 

Open time

Weekdays from 8:00 to 18:00

Saturday from 8:00 to 16:00

 

Other than the trash from the vending machine, please take it home.

 

 

 

In the alley where you can see the front of Kabukiza in Ginza 5-chome, Spanish cuisine "El Matador" has opened.

 

The first floor of the open-air style is a counter seat and a slightly elevated chair table seat, which feels like a casual bar, but if you get down underground, it is large enough to accommodate 40 people, like a dining room in a Spanish nobleman's residence.

　　

　

There are 6 types of lunch on weekdays.

There are two types of "Melosso", Valencia's representative rice dish, Kaneroni, and today's meat dish, each of which is selected.

And appetizers and bread and drinks, it's 1000 yen.

The appetizer

Green salad, creamy mashed potatoes,

Maltadella ham and Spanish-style omelet

There are plenty of things.

The Spanish-style omelet was so delicious that I wanted only this one.

On this day, there were roasts of domestic pork shoulder and stewed large meatballs in Spanish style, but I chose "large clams, small pillars and tomato melosso".

It was a bit like a risotto, and there were plenty of clams and small pillars, but it was crisp and I ate in no time.

 

The staff is bright and comfortable, inside, too.

From the very cute but firm "Kyeong-chan"

"The menu says 'Exciting Chef's Cooking'," he said.

"What's exciting is 'food'? Or "Chef"? When asked, he answered, "I'm both."

 

The chef whose birthday was just on this day was a seemingly charming handsome, but I thought that there was also one side of `` exciting '', and next time I thought I would like to enjoy `` exciting chef's exciting meat dishes '' I thought.

One of the most important events in summer is Bon Odori in fireworks festival.
Among them, Bon Odori in Chuo-ku is a large-scale "Chuo-ku Oedo Festival Bon Odori Festival", where delicious shops around the area appear at stalls like "Food Town Tsukiji" and "Japan's most delicious Bon Odori (?) There are a wide variety of events, such as Bon Odori at Tsukiji Honganji Temple (there is also a costume competition), and Bon Odori at Tsukuda Island, designated as Intangible Cultural Property in Tokyo. Did you know that Ginza also has a Bon Dance Festival?

 
This year, a joint Bon Dance Festival between Ginza 1-chome Azumacho Association and Shintomicho will be held at Kyobashi Park on July 26 and 27, and at Ginza 3-chome Azumacho Association on July 23 and 24 at Shukubashi Park. Was.

 
This Bon Dance Festival, Tepposu Shrine will be closed during the main festival, but at the Ginza 3-chome Azumacho Association, it is the 41st time with Nan this year.
Even when land prices soared due to the bubble and many people left the land, the town council members worked hard and continued forever.

Shukuhashi Park, the venue of the 3-chome Higashimachi Association, is a 1-minute walk from Kabukiza Theater.
The river where the congratulatory bridge was built was reclaimed, and now the Metropolitan Expressway is running, so while looking at the car below, the skyscrapers of Shiodome in the direction of Harumi-dori St., the ward office on the other side, Kabukiza Theater Tower, the former Dentsu headquarters, and the Bon Dance Festival just at the Valley of the Building.

At the venue, there were stalls such as yakisoba, Frank, drinks and ice by the town council members, but it is possible to see neighbors' office workers and OLs mixed with people in yukata. It's just like this land.
