Tomato Harvest festival "Challenge Kumatori with Ketchup!" @Hama House

[Edamame] July 15, 2018 14:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

It has been two and a half months since we received tomato seedlings at the "Tomato Tree Planting Party" in mid-April.

/archive/2018/05/hama-house.html


In the meantime, on the veranda of the Edamame family...

DSC_3138-1.jpg DSC_2989-1.jpg

A little yellow flower bloomed and a pale green fruit.

DSC_3136-1.jpg DSC_3272-1.jpg 

I grew up to be able to harvest some fruits safely.

DSC_3228-1.jpg
 
And on July 1st.

In the afternoon of Sunday, when the rainy season ended

"Harvest festival Tomato" was held at Hama House.

http://hamacho.jp/hamahouse/2018/06/01/marchetomato/

It is a luxurious collaboration between Hama House x Kagome x KEYUCA x "Kabukokko".
 

DSC_3305-1.jpg

  

     

 When we arrive at the venue, Hama House

 There are a lot of tomatoes and ketchup already on the desk!

 Many tomatoes of different types for each dish.

 Actually, this is all "Kagome tomatoes".

 As I mentioned before, the Tokyo head office of Kagome is located.

 The nearest office building, Nihonbashihamacho F Tower.

 He said that he was able to cooperate with this event because he was involved.

  
  

 

 

So, at the beginning of the meeting, Kagome introduces the types of tomatoes and compares them.

First of all, here.

DSC_3301-1.jpg DSC_3302-1.jpg

It is also the same as β-carotene tomato.

These two types are relatively small. And the sugar content is also high.

In particular, β-carotene tomatoes have a very high sugar content and were very delicious!

"β-carotene" is a component that is often found in carrots.

Perhaps because of that, the orange color is also vivid in appearance.
 
Next, ...

DSC_3303-1.jpg DSC_3304-1.jpg

It's round red and high lycopene tomatoes.

It is a type with less sugar content and acidity than the previous two types.

So, it seems that round red is especially recommended for "heating" such as stewing.
  

For a basket

You said, "I mayn't see it at supermarkets yet ..."

Edamame is actually in "Tornale" (a commercial complex in Hamacho).

I'm watching fresh tomatoes of Kagome at the supermarket "Peacock"!

After all, it's a local supermarket at the head office.

I would like to try and compare various things at home!

If you are interested in reading this article.

Please take a look at the "Peacock" tomato section.

In addition, there are many other turtle tomatoes ... one more thing.

That's right.

DSC_3309-1.jpg

"Tomatoes grown on the roof of the Hama House."

DSC_3332-1.jpg

Tomatoes grown on this rooftop since the tree-planting event in April.

DSC_3330-1.jpg

Unlike the condominium veranda, it's very sunny.

DSC_3331-1.jpg

It grew red, red, sweet and sweet.

(I came to the rooftop after the meeting.)

At the Hama House, you were growing many kinds of things.

I enjoyed eating more and more.

It was impressive that the small tomatoes were very sweet and delicious.

Is the sunshine conditions important? ? ?


Well, next time I got a present from KEYUCA.

KEYUCA ... It's a fashionable and natural-style miscellaneous goods brand.

The office building of Yasuda Real Estate in front of the Hama House.

We are in the Sky Gate and have you support the event on that edge.

Last time I had a cute flower pot ...

DSC_3310.jpg

We also had a stylish "preservation container" this time.

This is the dishwasher OK & microwave oven OK & oven OK!

I'm a little happy because there's not much heat-resistant glass that is OK in the oven.

DSC_3328-1.jpg

I took the tomatoes I liked by comparing them with me.

And finally, it's included in the title of the meeting.

It's time for "Kumatori Omurice".

This time, it is also a guide by Kabuki writer Ayumi Seki & illustrator Akane Uraitani's "Kabuko" combination.

https://www.facebook.com/kabuko.kabuki/

For a rough story, please refer to the previous article ...

/archive/2018/06/-2hama-house.html

DSC_3315-1.jpg

This time, I showed you something like this.

Kumatori is not one, but there is such a difference depending on the role.

And it was that there were quite a lot of personality depending on the actors.


Well, finally. It's omelet rice and Kumatori!

There is no example so that everyone can demonstrate their individuality! That's right.

Let's write with "energy" and " momentum" that everyone thinks.

I was told that I was participating for the second time.

He had a slightly different face than the previous one.

DSC_3320-1.jpg

That's what you mean ...

DSC_3322-1.jpg

I tried using raw tomatoes for my cheeks and my ears.

(Let's close our eyes on the sense of painting.)


I wanted everyone to see it slowly...

All participants this time are with children.

Moreover, my daughter, Azuki (3 years old) and all were in the same grade!

・・Oh, I can't wait.

We all ate delicious omelet rice.

Mothers of the same grade are each other, so the child-raising talks are also exciting.

I was able to have a good time.


It's a lot of time like this.

It was a time to enjoy Kabuki and tomatoes in various directions.

I'm looking forward to the next opportunity!



★An extra★

After "Harvest festival" ...

I go to Hamacho marche once every three months.

https://www.facebook.com/hamachomarche/

You can also enjoy "tomato scooping" at the Kagome booth.

(For those who shop more than 300 yen)

Railway Rakugokai [Fugen Company]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 11, 2018 12:00

rakugo201802.JPG

Last month, at the Communication Gallery Fugen on the 2nd floor of Tsukiji Garden Building, Tsukiji 1-chome, we reported that the Waseda University Photography Department, Keio University Camera Club, and each OB group held a railway photo exhibition "Shotetsu Chokei Battle" and introduced it on this blog.

fugenmap201800.jpg

At the same venue (map above, red place), from 19:00 on July 6 (Friday), a railway rakugo event for the storyteller Kokintei Komaji was held, so I heard it.

rakugo201801.JPG

Kokintei Komaji was decided to be promoted in the fall of this year, and one of the rakugo artists who are riding now, the reservation-only venue was already full.

rakugo201804.JPG

"Railway lovers" Komaji is a pioneer in "Railway Rakugo" and the author of the new book "Railway Rakugo" (Kotsu Shimbun).

My hobby is riding the railway, and Debayashi is thorough as "Railway Song".

rakugo201805.JPG

There were two new rakugo stories related to railways and a talk session with exhibitors of "Shotetsu Hakei Battle".

rakugo201806.JPG

In the talk session, I was impressed by the passionate passion of the shooters for railways and the deep content of technical terms, and both Komaji's two railway rakugo seats created by Mr. Komaji were both enthusiastic and very interesting, and were fulfilling before the weekend I was able to spend a fun Friday night time.

This is the third time this year, and I hope you will continue to work with the "Railway Photo Exhibition".
