Ginza's willows are very famous, but as you know, Ginza is Ginza Sakura-dori St., Yanagi-dori St., Marronnier Street, Matsuya Street (dogwood, United States), Harumi-dori St. is zelkova, Miyuki Street is "Onebatago, commonly known as Nanjiyamonja"dogwood Street is Tsubaki Street.

　In this season, neat white and cute flowers bloom and heal your heart.

It's "Nanja Monja, a Japanese name one batago."　As of April 29, one shot on Miyuki Street.

　And "Marronnier", which feels like it has somehow carried the scent of Paris.

Chuo-ku, where many stage works have been born and nurtured.
While traditional performing arts continue to carve for many years, it has become a new work.
There are many places where you can touch it.
One of them is the Ginza Makoto Theater, created by Harold Pinter.
"Celebration Celebration Feast" directed by Kazuki Takase will be performed.

According to the officials, it is a stylish work that allows you to enjoy the new charm of Pinter.
During the consecutive holidays, she hides in a closed space a little away from the bustling Ginza main street.
While enjoying the sophisticated adult conversations that take place on the stage, play a theater street
I'd like to take care of it.

<Feast> (From the Flyer Commentary) 

Premiered in 2000 with the production of Pinter himself. Set in a high-class restaurant in London, it depicts people like symbols of the bubble generation coming and going there. At first glance, light and humorous conversations flow out as if they were different from a series of pinter works. However, the world opposite to the world of restaurant customers who pursue only their immediate desires ... a pinter-like world is depicted on the other side. It is the mysteriousness of human beings, the power and significance of human memory, its significance, and a world that reminds us of something that we have lost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One day, I was crazy about shopping outside Tsukiji. I suddenly felt thirsty.
"I'm still in the middle of shopping, and I'll take a break later. But I'd like to drink something.'
If you think about it, you will be surprised to see a delicious Japanese tea in front of you in a timely manner!
Thank you ~ I got a cup of Kuso and regained my energy and continued shopping.

If you've ever shopped outside, you're sure you're having the same experience. For you
At the Tsukiji Outer store, a long-established Japanese tea specialty store, Uogashi Meicha, you can hand out freshly baked tea and taste it.
I'll give you it. When I was tired of walking and moisturized my throat with a refreshing scent of tea in a small cup, I felt like a traveler who found an oasis in the desert.

When shopping is over, this time you want to sit down slowly and drink delicious tea.
Just a few minutes walk from Tsukiji Market, in a quiet space that is different from the crowd just before.
Let's introduce another oasis where you can enjoy tea.

At the tea room, Chano Ji Club, which opened 13 years ago as "the opportunity to enjoy delicious tea", Japanese tea (with hot water, teapot, and yuzamashi) and a set of sweets for 300 yen or 500 yen You can enjoy.

 This is 300 yen ... I'm surprised. It comes with hot water, so you can enjoy many cups slowly.
Looking at the menu, unique tea names such as "Shan", "Future" and "Nyu" are lined up.

Japanese tea version of espresso coffee extracted at high pressure, tea presso (100 yen ← not a type miss.) 100 yen instead of 1000 yen!) I'd like to try it.

 

The second floor is a Japanese-style interior.
The seats are spacious, so you can calm down.

The third floor is a Western-style interior with an antique atmosphere.
The soft light inserted through the stained glass was wonderful. 

You can teach you how to make delicious tea on the spot, so you don't have to worry about tea knowledge.
The Uogashi Meicha site introduces how to make delicious tea in a video.

On the first floor, in addition to tea leaves, tea utensils are also sold at concentric prices.
Let's feel free to ask the shop.

Various events are held every month at the Tea Club. This is the 30th anniversary of the popular tea ceremony. This time (May 10 (Mon)-15 (Sat) 10-17: 00 per person 500 yen), in addition to new tea drinking comparison, interesting menus such as new tea tempura and new tea mochi are prepared .
At the tea ceremony party, limited tea with fun names such as "Kaze Makase" and "Osekai" is also sold.
Tea with a playful name seems to be a witting gift.

In addition, in Ginza, a tea run by Ogashi Meicha, which is the same as the Tea Club, a "Kanga Shincha Party" will be held to celebrate the new year's new tea (May 1 (Sat)-3 (Mon) 11-18:00 yen per person dress code: new tea color, participants will receive new tea).

There are many kinds of tea. I'm always wondering which one to buy. It's nice to have a place where you can easily try various teas. Just in the new tea season, this year's GW holiday is full of Japanese tea and Golden Tea Week!
(Japanese tea is Green Tea in English, but it seems that the color of really delicious tea is golden.)

 

 

Espresso shop illy, which operates several stores in Chuo-ku.

The espresso cocktail night will be held at Nihonbashi Chuo-dori on April 19th.

There are many Seattle coffee shops in the United States, such as Starbucks and Tully's.

How about the espresso of Western Europe?

I borrowed it under my pen name, but I'm not involved. I'm a newcomer. Thank you very much.

 

 

 

On April 4th (Sun), the party that also served as the award ceremony for the "Japan Classic Car Contest" to decorate the finale of the "Spring Meibashi Nihonbashi Festival" was "Mandarin Oriental Tokyo".

I'm sorry to have joined the last seat. Let's report lightly ...

The event was co-sponsored by the Nabashi Nihonbashi Preservation Society and the Japan Classic Automotive Building Executive Committee.

Aside: The dress code of the day was "Please come in" kimono "as much as possible ... If you don't have it, use tuxedo". I couldn't help this ... I decided to find a visiting clothes from the back of the closet for the first time in a few years and wear it ...

It began with a greeting from Mr. Shotaro Kobayashi, Chairman of the JCCC.

Attendees include Daitokuji, who is familiar with car-related TVs and miscellaneous poems, and talent Masaaki Sakai, Kaoru Kanetaka ... And of course, the chairman of the Nabashi Nihonbashi Preservation Society and the president of a long-established Nihonbashi store ... There were many distinguished people.

The meal started with the toast of Vuvcrico Champagne.

Audble, fish dish.

Next is the meat dish, Desale. 

White and red wine were also poured according to each dish.

 

After this, Petitfool and coffee were served.

While enjoying the meal, there was a song and dance of people from geisha in Yoshicho.

Apart from "East Odori", Mr. geisha (and from Yoshicho that has continued since the Edo period!) I can see the art of art in front of me ...

I was very impressed because I thought I could only see you when I visited a famous restaurant! !
