Tokyo Marathon Course Walking From Ginza to Asakusa

[Silver] February 21, 2011 08:30

On February 19, we enjoyed walking to Asakusa with the introduction of historic sites and famous shops in Ginza, Kyobashi, and Nihonbashi.

You can enjoy such a fun scene! I'd like to report it. 

First of all, the start scenery in Ginza. Even those with little blindness participate in the event for the third consecutive year.

 We introduced the main pillars of Kyobashi, the ruins of Chiba Dojo in Okemachi, the famous shops in Kyobashi, and Nihonbashi, and visited historic sites.

In Cored Muromachi, which opened last October, we opened a delicious and warm bonito stock at Nihonbashi dashiba.

I enjoyed it. I arrived at Ningyocho at 3:30. I enjoyed the gimmick watch.

 Through amazake Yokocho, Kameido received a free rice cracker.

In Yagenbori fudoson, the statue of Kobo Daishi, the monument of the birthplace of the talk, and the monument of the birthplace of Juntendo University.

We worshiped, performed songs of Ryogokubashi, and entered Asakusabashi.

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.

The 16th Chuo-ku Snow Festival Saturday, February 5 6 (Sun) Part 1 

[Yurikamome] February 8, 2011 09:00

 The 16th Chuo-ku Snow Festival was held at Akatsuki Park on February 5 (Sat) and 6 (Sun). .

The snow delivered from Higashine, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city, made Akatsuki Park a small slope and delighted the children.

The rental of sori minisky was free.

When I took the picture of the scene and looked at Kaai, I was sorry that there were so many good photos, but I will post it in two parts.  

The slope opened at 9 o'clock.                                             From 11:00, there was a greeting from Mayor Yada as the opening ceremony, and there was a song corner.2011_0205 Chuo-ku Snow Festival Panda and Tiger 0061.JPG

 

 

 

It's a costume show with the sister of the song.

The right was only a serious eye difference. 

 The picture below is more than a girl about one and a half years old.

Mom is having fun and smiling.

I also wanted to raise children in Chuo-ku.

・・I really thought about it.

 Rice cake corner

It's a very nostalgic scenery, but both those who are wearing rice cakes and those around them seem to be experiencing for the first time.

 The rice in the plastic bag for emergency food was warm and delicious.

Bicycles that became new by abandoned bicycle recycling business cooperating stores were sold at the Snow Festival venue. 18 units

It's cheap, isn't it?              


 

 

 

The 16th Chuo-ku Snow Festival Part 2 (mini zoo and taste corner)

[Yurikamome] February 8, 2011 09:00

 The Chuo-ku Snow Festival had a “taste corner”, “PR corner” and “mini zoo” in addition to the “snow play corner”, “song corner” and “recycling corner”.

The “PR Corner” received a pamphlet introducing a number of products and a beautiful city where hot springs spring out, such as the cooking training of the Japan Red Cross and the “Cherry” and “Tamakonjac” in Higashine City.

The taste corner was provided by each group, but fried rice, sweet potato soup, tamakonjac, hot calpis, meat buns, bean jam buns, oshiruko, etc. were all free.

And a small flowerbed was also built next to the snow play in Akatsuki Park and the mini zoo.

Primula, pansy and stock were in bloom.

The children of Chuo-ku thought that "happiness" was Naa ...

The best popularity of the taste corner was potato soup.

Everyone is waiting in line in the photo.

 In the sale of special products in Higashine City, I used "Omi Pickle" and "Cherry Pickle".

"Cherry Pickle" is pickled with perilla, but it is the best for tea bowls.

It was very delicious.
