Exciting tour "Tsukiji Outer Market Part 1"

[CAM] July 28, 2017 14:00

 Today (July 27), I worked as a guide for "Tsukiji Outer Market Part 1" of the "Waku Waku Tour" hosted by the Tourism Association.


 First, the meeting was in front of the convenience store Lawson at the intersection of Harumi-dori St. and Shin-ohashi-dori St. Participants are 10 people, 4 people in the ward and 6 people outside the ward. It means that there were 42 applicants, so they were selected by 4.2 times lottery.

IMG_3457.JPG


 Today's main destinations are "Egg Yaki Daisada", "Nori Hataya Shoten", "Salmon Showa Food", and "Konbu Suita Shoten" located in Tsukiji Outer Market.


 "Daisada of egg-yaki" has a branch in the out-of-office market (Tsukiji 4-13-11), as well as in-house market and fish-gashi Yokocho. It has a wide customer base, including high-end sushi restaurants, high-end restaurants, department stores, and high-end supermarkets all over the country. It is carefully hand-baked using carefully selected ground eggs with safe and secure, and has a history of 90 years since the first generation as a manufacturer of egg-yaki.

"Hatoya Nori Store" (Tsukiji 4-14-16) is a dry laver wholesaler in Tsukiji founded in 1930. We handle dried foods such as seaweed and have a wide selection of seaweed from all over Japan, such as Ariake products, and propose seaweed that is suitable not only for grilled seaweed but also for various scenes. In addition, we have a wide selection of dried foods such as nuts and dried fruits as well as seaweed. It is also popular as a souvenir shop where you can feel the vibrant voice of the third generation representative and the style of downtown that still remains in the cityscape outside Tsukiji.

"Showa Food of Salmon" (Tsukiji 4-13-14) selects and ships the highest quality salmon from salmon found throughout Japan. Focusing on natural salmon, red salmon, and autumn salmon, there are also items that are difficult to obtain elsewhere, such as "Southern nose bend", which is nostalgic under the name of "salt pulling", and "Super dry red salmon", which is so spicy that salt erupts. I am.

"Suita Shoten" (4-11-1 Tsukiji) is a long-established kelp that has been operating for more than 120 years. We are proud of a wide selection of products in preparation for professional Japanese food. 95% of kelp is from Hokkaido. However, even in the same Hokkaido product, the taste, texture and dashi differ depending on the production area. It should be used according to the purpose. However, it is not easy to know whether it is a good kelp just by appearance. There is a theory that "white flour is blowing has a lot of umami", but this is not always said. In addition, it can not be said that "natural is better than aquaculture." At specialty stores, we propose the perfect one according to the purpose and budget, so please consult a professional and choose it.

 After going around the four shops, pass in front of the Tsukiji Fish Bank and go to Haji Shrine. After that, from Kachidokibashi, today's tour was completed, looking at the newly built Tsukiji Ohashi and Tsukuda / Tsukishima towers and condominiums.

 They agreed with their father, "It is important to show beautiful things and the real thing from an early age for emotional education for children." After that, while talking about other museums and galleries, we went along Ginza Street, but went out for high-quality shopping.

 

The exhibition will be held from July 21 to September 3, 2017.

Zu Rashi Amblas' concert "Picture Book of Music" @ Ginza Blossom Central Hall

[Edamame] July 26, 2017 12:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

 

July 22nd (Sat).

IMG_2836-1.jpg

I love my 2-year-old daughter, Azuki.

Concert "Picture Book of Music" by "Zoo Rashi Amblas"

It was held at Ginza Blossom Central Hall in front of Chuo-ku government office.

IMG_2832.jpg-1.jpg

 

In the first place, "What is Zou Rashi Amblas?" Yes, sir.

Originally based in the zoo "Zurasia" in Yokohama.

They are "animals" who are performing.

Currently, I mainly go around halls nationwide (sometimes overseas such as Taiwan).

This is the first concert for small children (from 0 years old to OK)

You are continuing to perform a "picture book of music".

Of course, my ability is also origami.

Edamame & Azuki mother and daughter also learned about the existence of Zou Rashi Amblas.

I'm visiting the Ginza Blossom performance every time.

There is an opportunity to be able to experience music without hesitation at this age.

It's limited, isn't it?

However, "picture book of music" is the entrance to classical music.

There are a lot of small children coming and enjoy music without hesitation.

It's a place where you can do it.

MVI_2834(6)-1.jpg

・・'- live performance, after all, wonderful

 

And the show starts at 13:30.

I'm sorry that the photos in the hall are not taken.

The conductor Okapi and the string quartet's "Tsuru Rabbit" are also available.

It's a great success in the concert.

IMG_2837-1.jpg

A program studded with famous classic songs and theme songs for Disney movies.

This time, we will be releasing a CD on the theme of Japan.

There were also performances of "Shima-uta" and "Oedo Nihonbashi".

(The solo of Indra Aeon of "Shima-uta" was cool ...)

Finally, match the Ginza Blossom, which is also a wedding hall.

There is also a "marriage march" in Mendelszone.

I will prepare a different program every time.

Adults are also looking forward to saying, "What kind of song is it today?"

 

It's a concert for a long time.

There are also ways to keep children tired of it.

(What kind of thing ... Malaybak's characteristic (?) Imagine it.

At the time of encore, there are also animals getting down the seats.

(The last time it was Azuki who was able to make a high touch with Duclangull.)

It seemed to have enjoyed the music.

 

IMG_2839-1.jpg

Next time is next spring.

It is March 17, 2018 (Saturday).

Ticket advance sale will start on December 5 (Tuesday).

・・・ My mother is ready to line up for a good seat.

And ... Ginza Blossom is scheduled to be renovated next summer.

IMG_2833-1.jpg

What will happen to the concert next summer?

I'm trying to check the information with a little bit of excitement.

"Hell picture, Wonderland"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] July 23, 2017 12:00

Now, I can see images of natural disasters occurring in various places such as Kyushu.
I have a pain in my chest. All those affected by the disaster, please have a strong heart.
I wish you all the best.

 

By the way, the Japanese Islands, where intense heat and weather abnormalities continue, seem to be hell if you think of heaven every day.
I think you may encounter a scene.

 

This time, an elaborate exhibition of "Hell picture, Wonderland" is being held at the Mitsui Museum of Art.
First, it starts with a pictorial drawing from Shigeru Mizuki's original experience depicting modern hell,
And the pictorial drawings of hell in Buddhism from ancient times start from the Heian period's birth collection.
Many of them are on display. Finally, I conclude with a picture of Buddha in Pure Land of Bliss.
There was something that made me hot.

 

It is said that there is anything wrong in the heart of a person, and people are important because they are familiar.
It was said that it was necessary to keep in touch with each other.

 

It is this hot summer, but please be careful not to get sick.

+ It is held at Mitsui Art Museum until September 3rd.
