Comet orchid and Nichirei Flower

[Mapo ★] February 18, 2011 16:00

Last time, I introduced cosmetics using comet orchids called Sylvan.
Based on the story of the comet orchid, Nichirei is a flower business.
There are nichirei flowers, production and sales of comet orchids, and
I heard that you are producing and selling other orchid seeds.
Mr. Kaneko, President of Sylvan, introduced me to you.
I interviewed Mr. Shimizu, director of Nichirei Flower.
Nichirei Flower's office is located a little before Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge in Shintomi-cho.

 

The first thing that stopped my eyes was displayed on the table of the office.
It was a flower in the glass.
It's a flower called "Ever Flower".
Dried flower that lasts longer than preserved flower.
It is said that it was developed using the vacuum technology and biochemical reactions used by Hitachi in space experiment rooms.

Nichirei and Hitachi were of the same affiliated companies~!

The warranty period is one year, but what is in the director's house?
It seems that it will remain beautiful without fadeing for 20 years.

I happened to have it for a wedding celebration, but it's also called "EVER".
It can be used not only for wedding celebration but also for various celebrations.

 

As expected, big ones are expensive, but some cute ones are about 5,000 yen.

And it is the story of the comet orchid.
The comet orchids are called Odontgrossam, and they were discovered in the 19th century.
It seems that it was a rare flower that was familiar to European nobles and British royal family.
It was introduced to Japan in 1902, and Shigenobu Okuma and Tadaoki Sakai were introduced at the National Exposition.
It was in 1984 that the Western orchid project team was established in Nichirei.
In 1985, he was also exhibited at the World Orchid Conference.

I was surprised that there were many kinds of comet orchids.
Sylvan was used in cosmetics, but
My favorite in appearance was a comet orchid called "Marie Noel" Bellano "".
This variety has won the Red Ribbon Award at the 2007 World Orchid Exhibition Japan Grand Prize.

 

It's very cute with pink flowers, but I just saw them in the catalogue.
I would like to see the real thing at the World Orchid Exhibition Japan Grand Prize starting tomorrow (* ^^*)

 

The official website of the World Orn Exhibition Japan Grand Prize

 

Of course, at the World Orchid Exhibition at Tokyo Dome, not only comet orchids, but also comet orchids.
It seems that a lot of dendrobium, cymbidium and other orchids will be exhibited.
That's also something that has not bloomed and has a lot of buds. It seems that you can choose only those that are easy to grow at home.

Certainly, the flowers in full bloom have a short time to enjoy.
If you can see the process of blooming flowers, the fun will be doubled.♪
It seems that you can buy it for around 2,000 yen per share (*^^ *)

 

The lighting at Tokyo Dome is originally a facility for baseball, so it is a facility for baseball.
Cocktail rays (lighting of night games) are used.
It seems that yellow and white flowers look more beautiful than red and pink.
It was a little trivia knowledge (laughs).

 

Also, the Phalaenopsis orchid which was placed at the office is a little small and cute.
But because it was a Phalaenopsis orchid, it looked elegant and expensive.
It seems that it costs 5500 yen including shipping cost in two standings. It's good as a gift!

And the beautiful rose Priza,
I had fresh vege lettuce and radish.

 

 

 RIMG6074.JPG

 

Since I was a child, I had a very little connection with the soil.
Do you really do lettuce? I'm looking forward to it because I'm skeptical about it (*^^*)

 

By the way, there is a greenhouse of Comet orchids of 3,000 tsubo in Nagano, and it is said that October to May is its peak.
On the homepage, you can see a picture of a house full of comet orchids.

It seems that the director lives near him and goes to Tokyo.
While you are busy preparing for the Orchid exhibition, you can talk a lot for an hour.
He was the director of a gentle personality who loves flowers.

Let's go around Tsukiji Matsuro's egg-yaki and out-of-market market

[Mapo ★] February 17, 2011 09:00

Today, I went to Shintomi-cho for coverage, so I stretched my feet and went to Tsukiji!
Actually, it's the first Tsukiji (laughs)

 

RIMG6005.JPG RIMG6009.JPG

 

Passing in front of St. Luke Hospital, Oh, Tsukiji Honganji!
I was impressed that it was the same as that it was on the tourist association certification book, and I was shooting for the time being (laughs).

One of the things I'd like today is Tsukiji Matsuro's egg-yaki.
We were collecting information when stores outside the venue closed early.
It is located at the intersection of Harumi-dori St.
We went to a new store on the first floor of a building called Tsukiji Kyoueikai, an interesting market.

 

RIMG6008.JPG RIMG6007.JPG

 

I thought I would like to make it a regular matsuro, but I definitely want to eat a "spic party" with pepper.
But even if you buy two, it's too much for two people ... I found such a product!

 

RIMG6025.JPG RIMG6024.JPG

 

There was a mini-size set of Shoro and spicy party.
It is a fun set of 370 yen.

Both are slightly sweet and delicious!
In particular, the "spicy party" was sweet and spicy ~ It was very popular with my husband (* ^^ *)

Tsukiji Matsuro's website


Next, I often see this on TV, a signboard at the entrance outside Tsukiji!
But it was close to 3 o'clock, so there were a lot of shops that were closed.

After that, let's go inside the Tsukiji area.
It seems that most shops close by about 3 o'clock.

And it's hard to understand because it's intricate out of the hall.
There was such a map. It's very easy to understand.★

I'm going to come this morning (laughs).

 

 

When the snow shakes, Tsukuda is an old Edo island

[The cat on the slope] February 16, 2011 08:30

On the 14th, when it became a white Valentine's Day, not a White Christmas.

In Tokyo, Chuo-ku, which is relatively difficult to accumulate snow, also slightly covered snow.

The photo shows the snow scene of Tsukuda Park taken from my balcony.

*As you may know, the lighthouse with an Edo-style design in the photo is actually a public toilet.

 By the way, what I would like you to remember on such a snowy day is the phrase of playwright Shuji Hojo, "If it snows, Tsukuda is an old Edo island." The monument of this phrase walks a little from Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine to the Sumida River, and stands in a corner where three Tsukudani shops are gathered.

P2150142.JPG  P2150143.JPG

If it snows next time (of course it doesn't fall), please come and see this stone monument.


 

As an aside, Hudson, which flows west of Manhattan Island in New York, often freezes in winter (flood ice flows from the north). On the other hand, the East River, which flows on the east side, does not freeze. The reason is that the water of East River is salty seawater. Even in the extremely cold winter on the East Coast, the East River was not frozen and ships could enter and exit, so Manhattan Island flourished in trade for hundreds of years. The Sumida River is also near the estuary, so there is no need to worry about freezing, and there may be some reason why it flourished as the cornerstone of water trade and transportation in Edo. However, even in the Edo period, which is presumed to have been much colder than it is now, it would not have been enough to freeze the river.

 

 

Ginza Carve Fujiki ★Wine shop

[Mapo ★] February 14, 2011 10:30

Cave Fujiki opened at the same time as Mitsukoshi's floor expansion opening!
It's a shop I'd like to go there for a long time.

Take Harumi-dori St. toward Techtech Showa-dori while looking at Mitsukoshi to the left.
It's on the left side of the end of the new building.

The interior of the shop is bright and has a nice atmosphere with light entering Sansan.
But at the end of the new building, I was away from the hustle and bustle of the main street.
There is a quiet space.

 

RIMG5888.JPG RIMG5890.JPG

 

It mainly consists of French wine and bio wine.
The staff enthusiastically talked about various things.
I took a lot of pictures (*^^*)

There were many wines from Yamanashi and Tochigi.
My favorite Yamanashi wine, in fact, I only drank Koshu, so
This is recommended by the staff.
I drink Muscat Berry A for the first time, but it's delicious!
Until now, most of the time I drank in France.
I once again wondered if Japanese grapes would fit the Japanese taste.
Etiquette is also cute~ (*^^*)

Mixing extract extracted from comet orchids ★Sylvan Cosmetics

[Mapo ★] February 9, 2011 15:00

Orchid is famous as a well-preserved flower.
I also decorate fresh flowers on my head when I wear kimonos.
Most of the flowers are Western orchids such as Denfare, and they are recommended by flowers.
In celebration of the opening of the store, Phalaenopsis orchids decorate the storefront neatly for a long time.

 

It seems that this comet orchid (Silvan) is a rare flower that blooms for more than a month once it blooms.
Isn't there any effect as cosmetics?
Therefore, it seems that the Nichirei Group has been engaged in breeding and cultivation for many years.
Above all, it's a company that deals with food.
It is safe to have a variety of inspection know-how.

 

Cosmetic containing extract extracted from the silvan flower
It is sold in the series. 。

I got a sample of beauty essence from a correspondent Ginzo, a sample of my beauty essence.
I went to the office in Ginza 5-chome Miyuki Building for coverage!

 

RIMG5873.JPG RIMG5877.JPG

The cosmetic package has a cuteness even in a luxurious feel.
The most nice thing is that there is a trial set for trial.
It's 2100 yen (including postage) for all types.

 

When I first used a sample of beauty essence.
This beauty essence is applied to the skin toner after washing the face and before the skin toner.
When I put it on after a bath,
The good fragrance of the orchid spreads out.
It's moist and plump enough to be surprised.

 

I always put a sheet pack after taking a bath.
After that, I have two kinds of skin toner and beauty essence.
With this beauty essence alone, you can enjoy the degree of perfection (* ^^ *)

 

Washing your face with creamy foam and refreshing feel.
I don't like getting sticky, so I don't usually use milky lotion or cream after skin toner.
It's finished with a beauty essence, but I tried it all.
Very moisturized, but not sticky feeling.
Orchid fragrance also serves as a relaxation effect.

 

If you use this cosmetics, you can use your skin condition of your current age like a orchid.
I feel like I can keep it for years (*^^*)
I was surprised that the orchids had twice the moisturizing power of hyaluronic acid!

 

The event will be held at Tokyo Dome from the 19th of this month.
This trial set was sold at the World Ran Exhibition Japan Grand Prize.
You can also get samples of the beauty essence I used for the first time at the venue.♪

 

RIMG5879.JPG RIMG5544.JPG

In addition, the Nichirei Group also seems to have a flower section called Nichirei Flower.
It seems that flowers will be exhibited from there.
I have received an admission ticket for the Orchid exhibition~ (* ^^ *)
At the venue, you can see the real thing of this comet orchid.
I would like to take a picture. I'm really looking forward to it♪
