Beaujolai Nouveau Ban Day Event

[Ryokichi] January 28, 2014 14:00

I'm sorry that it was a while ago, but I would like to report on the event on November 21, last year (2013) on the day of the ban on Bojolai Nouveau lifting in Chuo-ku.

 

Actually, waited for the date to change at midnight on November 20, and the event (by the way, it was a paid event) started with the countdown. The place is Shinkawaya Sasaki Shoten, a liquor store that has been in Ningyocho for more than 100 years. It's in Yokomachi, amazake.

 

Actually, I always take care of sake here, but this time there are about 20 kinds of young sake wine. At around 11:50, obviously more than 30 people are gathering on the street of the shop. And the stopper is opened, the first wine is poured, and the countdown is watching the watch. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1", "Cheers!" 。

On November 21st, it is the beginning of a banquet on the street. Beaujolai Nouveau is light, so I think I can do my best.

At the event, you can enjoy various kinds of soups and pottery.

It's like this gathering!

Did you drink everything? I think I drank everything in order.

Some may have gone out.

It's like this, and it's open in an hour. It was a rich hour.

I would like to come here again next year.

 

Shinkawaya Sasaki Shoten seems to have occasional sake events. I'll introduce the website below.

We also recommend a salon lunchtime concert in the afternoon of the 140th anniversary of Ginza Jujiya.

"Ginza Jujiya afternoon salon"-a wonderful story and music in Ginza-

 

"Izutsu dancing in the twenty-five-string koto-Japanese music collaboration"

I went there. Oh! Ginzo, Noh, and koto are not linked

Yes, the person who thinks is the right answer.

 Actually, I applied for a gift of Jujiya's e-mail magazine and won the prize.

Be aware of the wrong place, and take a terrifying seat.

An easy-to-understand explanation of the Noh performance "Izutsu" by Kanta Nakamori (Kanze-style Shitekata, holder of Intangible Cultural Property).

Explanation and performance by Tomoya Nakai (Koto, Sangen "Ikuta-ryu" 25-string koto performer and composer).

In particular, I forgot the passage of time with the explanation and performance of the twenty-five-string koto, and fell in love with it.

"Yumeukibashi," which was based on The Tale of Genji, was a woman who suffered from a swaying sad love, and "Flame of Red Lotus" expressed her fierce feelings.

 It was a fun time to experience traditional Japanese music about Noh. 

 The photo shows Tomoya Nakai, who plays the twenty-five-string koto.

 

The lunchtime concert starts every Wednesday at 12:30.

This is also recommended. http://www.ginzajujiya.com/

 In addition, from April this year to March next year, a performance commemorating the 140th anniversary of the founding will be held throughout the year.

Click here for the event calendar for the future. I'm looking forward to it.
 
 

 

St. Luke's Health Nabis Pot Rukanabi Lunch Time Mini Lecture & Mini Concert Sr. Sancho Pansa

[Silver] January 24, 2014 09:00

 The “Lunchtime Mini Lecture & Concert” in January this year was held.

Rukabi Yoko Setoyama's "Is that health information okay?" What is health literacy? It was a mini-lecture.

There is a lot of information available in newspapers, magazines, the Internet, etc.

 

"I wonder if the information is correct, or simply convey it.

The recipient of the information correctly determines whether the information is biased.

It's important to use information smartly! "It was a very useful and kind story.

The usage is not too much, and if you have trouble making a decision, consult someone.

See you.

 1.Beware of the word "work"!

 2.It's not too much!

 3.If you are unsure, consult with someone who can consult!

 If you have trouble deciding on a medicine or usage, or if you are lost, go to Rakanabi! "

It was a story with fun humor that I would never forget about PR. We recommend that you join us next time.

 By the way, it was a rakugo by Shinji Yamagami, a member of Sanchotei Hanpo (pronouce Sancho Panza).

Today's performance is "Odoya Avenge".

The three people who stayed in the inn (three from the beginning) tried to stay on the floor after the fuss.

It was a slapstick-like drama woven by the samurai who stayed with the house and the owner of the inn who heard the loud chatter.

20140119 007.JPG

I thought it was a story that made it light and stylish and attracted people, and this was called a story art.

The audience was so enthusiastic about the story in front of the audience with too much enthusiasm.

The details of the story seem to violate intellectual property rights, so I will omit it, but it was an interesting and fun story anyway.

 I heard it for the first time, but I became a fan.

In addition, the stage name (the last name part is called the Teigo) is said to be called Sancho Pansa.

He named himself after the name of Sancho Panza in valet of Don Quijote, and he was a humorous man.

Shinji Yamagami seems to draw pictures, and he is also exhibiting at St. Luke's Gallery.

The next exhibition of the picture will be exhibited for about a week from June 9th. Don't miss it!

The first play in 2014 was "Sansho Keisei"-Shimbashi Enbujo

1. January 16, 2014 09:00

In the New Year, as usual, four seats in Tokyo are competing for early spring play. One of the pleasures is to worry about which one to look at while consulting with your wallet. On the 10th when the pine was removed, we first went to Shimbashi Enbujo. This is a hot topic of the performance of "Keisei" through the new project. It is said to be a combination of Kabuki 18th "Keisei", "Kanba", "Removal" and "Kamabe". I went to the hall with excitement with shrimp fans about what was completed.

What attracts your eyes when you enter is the curtain with shrimp drawn. Certainly, the twelfth generation Danjuro was drawn in commemoration of Ebizo's attack! Something that comes a bit jean to remember. A great success with almost full capacity due to the ability to attract customers. We set up in the middle of the second row for a companion saying, "I want you to look at it and get the energy of this year."

Becomes "Kanba" or hits six parts to Shiro Mihoya and "Kamahige" of "Shikorohiki", "Akoya" is "Oiran Michinaka" (I saw it for the first time), and Funassy and Kumamon are appearing and laughing. The highlight is "Gokuwari", where Tsugaru Shamisen, Osatsuma, and Nagauta compete. A 9-meter-long shrimp appeared and the shrimp could be found on a huge offering rice cake, and the audience was delighted. The last curtain, "Removal," is an interesting taste that creates a "Sansho seat" that imitates the "Arhat seat" of the Edo period on the stage, and 14 people each above and below (2,000 yen). The Sansho seats are in the position of "self watching the stage" and "self seeing" from other customers. It's a short time, but I can't break my seat, so it might be quite tight. 。 。 But the shrimp was a close distance of about 30 cm, so the companion seemed to be "envy."

I enjoyed the gorgeous and grand "first play" like New Year's and went home while saying, "The most fun thing was the shrimp."

Until the 26th of "Shousansho Keisei"
