Christmas in Ginza 2018 Animals

[Silver] Nov. 30, 2018 12:00

 In the latter half of November, the street corners of Ginza were gorgeous illuminations and windows and displays of each shop, and it was a season when the heart was excited.

Santa is coming to the city. A song that comes on a sleigh led by a reindeer strokes his ears.

Currently, Ginza is holding a fun project for 2018WinterSeason.

One of them is Window Display, which each store develops with elaborate tastes. 

Kotoshi enjoys a walk in Ginza with a feeling of healing by the animals talking to at the large windows of each store. We enjoyed strolling around the street corner of Ginza 5-chome.

Sakiko Kiyono solo exhibition [Gallery Ginza]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 29, 2018 09:00

This is an introduction of an exhibition held on the 2nd floor of "Gallery Ginza", a gallery in Ginza 2-chome.

sonati201801.JPG

This is the first solo exhibition by Sakiko Kiyono, who lives in Chuo-ku and holds a solo exhibition in Chuo-ku.

sonati201802.JPG

It is entitled "Knitting, weaving, and spinning."

sonati201803.JPG

Mr. Kiyono said that he was able to enter from the so-called "knitting" sweater, and expanded the range of his work to wire races.

sonati201804.JPG

You have a lot of certified instructor qualifications for knitting, wire laces and accessories.

sonati201805.JPG

This time, I learned for the first time that the wire is also described as "knitting".

sonati201807.JPG

All of the works on display were delicate, beautiful, and the fine details of the nerves were meticulous.

sonati201806.JPG

No, it's just something that makes me think it would be fun to make such a variety of works alone.

sonati201808.JPG

At the venue, a race jewelry and accessory kit by Mr. Kiyono is also sold, so that you can make your own work and enjoy it.

sonati201810.JPG

It is an exhibition that can be enjoyed just by looking at it.

Please drop in.

sonati201809.JPG

The period is from Tuesday, November 27 to December 3 (Monday).

Please note that the time is from 11:00 to 19:00 and the last day is until 17:30.

sonati201811.JPG

Regarding the photography in the gallery, Mr. Kiyono himself gave a kind and polite explanation of the production method of the work.

Thank you very much

Everyone eats it! Udonkai "Let's make udon in your favorite form" ("Hama House" x "Taniya")

[Edamame] Nov. 27, 2018 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


Autumn with many events.

There may be many people who try something for the first time.

Meanwhile, Edamame & Daughter Azuki (a 3-year-old child who loves to eat) is

We have been challenging the "first udon noodles".

The place was "Hama House", which was taken care of at various events before.

※Click here for some of the past events

/archive/2018/07/post-5378.html

/archive/2018/06/pmchama-house.html

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

 

And today's teacher is

Mr. Tani, the owner of "Taniya", which has shops in Ningyocho and Hamacho.

http://www.tg-supply.jp/taniya/

DSC_4278-1.jpg

On a day off at home, go to "Taniya" for lunch.

There are quite a few udon noodles.

Every time I come back with saying "It's delicious."

When an event invitation comes from Hama House

In two more replies, "Taniya no Udon!? I'll go by all means!"


Well, right away.

Udon dough prepared by Mr. Tani early in the morning.

DSC_4273-1.jpg

※It is wrapped in thick vinyl so that it does not dry.

The dough is weak against dryness.

DSC_4280-1.jpg

About 500 grams of this ball.

I hear it's about 2 people.

By the way, a professional is four times the size of the shop.

I'm going to do it in the unit of 2 kilograms ...

It's amazing. That's a word.

That ...

DSC_4282-1.jpg

Let's step on!

The point is that it is not just stepping on, but to have a uniform thickness.

This makes the body of the udon.

And...

DSC_4289-1.jpg

I'll also step on it!

Well, but it's not easy to sink because it weighs 15 kilograms (bitter smile).

However, do you understand what you need to do, has grown more than before?

On the way, I changed to my mother Edamame and stepped on.


DSC_4290-1.jpg

If the fabric stretches to the extent that an adult has widened the palms

It's a work of stretching it with a noodle stick on the table.

DSC_4294-1.jpg

Shake the flour

DSC_4297-1.jpg

Put your weight firmly and stretch it.

I think it's easy when the teacher does it.

If you don't put your weight firmly, you won't grow!

And if you try to do it with Azuki

It's a "two-person haori" state, so I don't get weight well.

It took a long time.

But it seems that I wanted to try it.

I love to eat.

But I'm going to crush my child's thumb with a noodle stick.

Please be careful!


DSC_4318-1.jpg

A tool to cut the udon that Mr. Tani always uses.

The kitchen knife is very heavy.

・・And yeah. The finish is beautiful!


Edamame was cut with a normal kitchen knife with Azuki.

The weight may be necessary.

I had a hard time cutting it.

And I still do it with "two-person haori"

Actually, azuki, "I held a kitchen knife for the first time."

It's quite impossible to cut it into thin pieces ...

DSC_4320-1.jpg

Super thick udon is completed (great sweat).

Tani's comment "Boiled time, it's about 25 minutes if it's cold. 15 minutes if it's warm."

Wow. ・... Let's eat it warmly.

"Please think that udon will be 1.5 times more boiled."

・・I understand (sweat). It's going to be a huge thickness.

And as it was in the title of this event.

DSC_4322-1.jpg

We also make "cookie-shaped udon noodles".

The children seem to be more fun here.

"Hey!" "Suzu!" "I'm afraid!" It's a lot of things.

What I pulled out in a square shape is like a lavioli.

The difficulty of self-made udon is that "the boiled time is not written on the bag" (natural).

DSC_4326-1.jpg

If there is a slight yellowish left

It's a sign that the salt in the udon remains.

So let's wait a little longer.

※In addition, when Edamame boils souvenir udon at home

 "Yellow-like ...? A little more?"

Please note that it was overdoing and it was slightly overboiled.

Simply "eat" is the best way to check it.



Well, boil it.

Where adults enjoy "Kamatama", etc.

Edamame & Azuki with a child who doesn't want to put his hands on raw eggs yet

DSC_4328-1.jpg

Please use "Taniya" special "Kakedashi"!

The chewy texture is delicious!

And the soup stock is also delicious!


In addition, we brought Mr. Tani's special cold bukkake udon (Tempura nose).

I'm sorry. Don't forget to take a picture.

It's a beautiful finish!

Of course, the taste is also good!

"Yes. This is this!"

It's firm. It's a really delicious udon.

And this "Kashiwaten" is what Edamame secretly loves.

I'm particular about chicken, and it's a breast, but it's very soft.

"Is your chest so soft?" Was my first impression. Oh, it's irresistible!



That's why I made it fun and filled my stomach.

Both mother and child were able to have a good time.

If there is such a meeting again, I would like to participate again next time.

And ... While writing the article, I wanted to eat the udon of "Taniya" again.

I'm going to eat soon!

"Sensha bill stamp & street name quiz rally"-Edamame version, how to turn in one day-

[Edamame] Nov. 25, 2018 14:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

 
The other day, it started on November 10th (Sat).

Participated in the "Sensha Bill Stamp & Town Name Quiz Rally".

DSC_4218-1.jpg

Collect stamps placed throughout the city.

And let's go around the quiz about the street name.

For more information, please click here.

http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/#we-page-single-entry?spot=247604

You can see this page.

There is also an introduction to "Routes that go around all points efficiently"

Please take a look at it.

DSC_4213-1.jpg

 

That's why ... this course may be okay for others.

There are two problems for Edamame.

・With children, I want to make effective use of the morning as much as possible.

This recommended "routes that go around all points"

The starting point is Tsukishima.

Tsukishima Monja Association Promotion Association, the stamp point of Tsukishima, is open at 12:30.

As a child who is clearly expected to be frustrating, I want to go around the morning course more! I thought it was.

・I want to set the start near the Hamacho area.

・・I'm sorry. I'm a resident.

That's why in this article, it goes against the recommendation of the tourist association (laughs).

Introducing "Edamame & Daughter Azuki (a three-year-old child who walks quite a bit) felt like this."

I will also write the passing time, so I hope that it will be especially helpful for children.

(Digital images are convenient~. It's easy to refer to because the shooting time is recorded (laughs).
 

Well, when I leave my home and walk for a while ...

Arrived at the first stamp point, Hakozaki-cho "T-CAT (Tokyo City Air Terminal)".

(Arrival time 10:57 ... 30 minutes earlier if you don't have Azuki's petit ear!)

This is a 100 yen shop, a drugstore, a select shop for children's clothing.

And there are McDonald's, etc.

As a child-rearing generation living in the local area, even if there is no business going to Haneda or Narita by limousine bus

It's a very useful facility. Actually.

DSC_4210-1.jpg

If you go to the second floor, it's already a Christmas tree near the stamp stand.

It's just around the end of the year. It's scary.

But it makes me feel better to see gorgeous things.

DSC_4211-1.jpg

And there was a stamp stand in the space between Cafe Doku Rie and the hall.

DSC_4212-1.jpg

At this height, it is very helpful because the child can push it on his own!

 

If you leave here, just walk to the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative Office.

The entrance to the office is just on the side street of Daikanonji Temple.

(Arrival time: 11:14)

DSC_4214-1.jpg

The quiz question is affixed to the entrance of the office.
 

After that, I was worried, but Azuki said, "Aru!"

I will do my best to walk to Yagenbori Fudoin, the next quiz spot.

(Arrival time: 11:37)

DSC_4216-1.jpg

The quiz question is affixed to main hall up the stairs.

Let's check the quiz after you visit everyone.

Of course, I also visited Azuki.

(About the difference between shrines and temples, and about whether or not to hit Kashiwate

 I would like to teach 3-year-old Azuki as a future task.)
 

After that, it is just a short distance from Yagenbori Fudoin.

2 stations by train from Higashi-Nihonbashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.

Move to Nihombashi Station.

Click here for the next stamp spot.

DSC_4220-1.jpg

This is the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.

(Arrival time: 12:02)

DSC_4219-1.jpg

It was a stamp stand at a high place like the Senshafuda stamp rally last March.

Both the stamp mat and the stamp itself were not connected by chains, etc.

"You can use the chair nearby as a desk," a warm offer from the staff.

・・Thank you very much!

And the brochure I found here.

DSC_4221-1.jpg

It's a "real mystery solving game empty exhibition"!

https://nazoxnazo.com/tokyo_ex/

A new mystery solving event, including the Nihonbashi area.

Edamame, a correspondent who loves solving mysteries, is likely to be held soon.

You may find a new event if you take a look at the Nihonbashi Information Center, Chokochoko.

I would like to take a look at it regularly.
 

Here ...

"I'm hungry, Pekopeko!"

"Ah, what do you want to eat?" "Hanbagu!"

That's why I've taken care of you before

Head to "Landmarks" on the 5th floor of the new building, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store

This was the birthplace of "Children's Lunch".

(including waiting for the restaurant)

I think you've spent about an hour here.)

DSC_4224-1.jpg

After eating, you will reach the entrance to the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and Honkan.

Mr. Lion was wearing a "beware of fire."

It's already winter.
 

And walk for a while

Arrived at Nihonbashi Information Center on the 1st floor of Cored Muromachi and 1st basement!

(Arrival time: 13:04)

DSC_4225-1.jpg

This was also a tall counter.

Moreover, it was set up in an area far from the staff ...

Hold the azuki with one hand and press the stamp together with the other hand.

It was a long time.

15 kilograms with one hand. Oh, yes. 。 。

DSC_4227-1.jpg

By the way, there was also a model of a cruise ship coming out of Nihonbashi Pier next to it.
 

And if you push it safely, 3 stations from Mitsukoshimae Station on the Ginza Line.

When you arrive at Ginza Station, it is the next quiz spot.

Head to "Ginfo (Ginza Tourist Information Center)" on the 1st floor of Tokyu Plaza Ginza.

(Arrival time: 13:21)

DSC_2746-1.jpg

Check with the staff here.

"I'm sorry. How long does it take to walk from here to Tsukiji?"

The distance between Ginza and Tsukiji is a walking distance, so I asked ...

"I think it will take 20 to 30 minutes, but you're with your child, right?

It might cost more.

"Platto Tsukiji" closes at 14:00, so it's better to use a train. "

That's why 2 stations take the Hibiya Line from Ginza. I'm heading to Tsukiji.

From Tokyu Plaza Ginza, it's easy to get on the Hibiya Line.
 

Tsukiji on Saturday, which came after a long time ...

Even after the market move, he was a great man.

I could walk normally from the station to the intersection of Tsukiji 4-chome.

After entering the out-of-market area, people were so terrible that I had a hard time walking with children.

This is the next stamp spot "General Information Center Plat Tsukiji".

(It closed at 13:45 at 14:00, so it was barely enough.)

This was also a high stamp stand, so it was a strategy to "hold with one hand and assist with stamp with one hand".

I forgot to take a picture of the stamp stand because it weighs too much.

DSC_4230-1.jpg

Instead, in front of Platto Tsukiji, there is an event-like sale of delicacies. Since it was 500 yen, "I'm going to give you a gift to my uncle! (by Azuki) "I tried it. And he said, "I got rid of it."

DSC_4231-1.jpg

Take a break with freshly squeezed apple juiceApple.
 

Let's walk again after the energy is filled.

While looking at the "place" already in construction mode.

DSC_4237-1.jpg

I'll walk to Akashicho for a while.

I felt that there was a lot of distance here, but I wonder if I can't help it.
 

We arrived at the next quiz spot.

It is Akashicho "Chuo-ku Local Museum Time Dome Akashi".

(Arrival time: 14:18)

DSC_4241-1.jpg

The sixth floor of this building is Time Dome Akashi.

Since the museum is closed Monday, you can't see the quiz here that day. Be careful!

And here's a restroom break.

My diaper doesn't come off yet, so I'm a kid who bothers my mother's head.

Because it is "Time Dome Akashi" which is a public facility, it can be used for multipurpose toilets.

There is also a diaper changing sheet.

It is safe even for small children.
 

And next to Tsukishima.

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, there is also a sidewalk.

DSC_4245-1.jpg

Both stairs and bicycle slopes are properly attached along the river, so it is safe.

(I know that there is a sidewalk, but it's secret that I was impatient for a moment that I should go up from where.)

DSC_4247-1.jpg

A good view of the boat!

But there's quite a bit of a bicycle running fast.

Be careful about safety when walking with children! Oh, yes.
 

As soon as you cross the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, a stamp spot on Tsukishima

It is "Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association Cooperative".

(Arrival time around 15:00 ... I forgot to take a picture ...)

This was a low desk and a chair.

It's easy for children to push. Thank you very much.
 

From there, take a train at Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line.

After getting off at Ginza 1-chome Station, head to Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

・・It was unexpectedly long!

It may have been better to attach the Yaesu underground shopping mall when going around the Nihonbashi area.

Either way, you may have decided to walk as it is ...

I managed to arrive at the stamp spot on Main Avenue.

(Arrival time: 15:30)

DSC_4251-1.jpg

It was also a high level.

I survived the operation of "Holding one hand and assisting one hand stamp". Yeah. It's heavy.

 

All you have to do is walk to the goal.

DSC_4254-1.jpg

Arrived at the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the 1st floor of Kyobashi Edgran at the goal point! ! !

(Arrival time: 15:48)

DSC_4253-1.jpg

Clear the last stamp and quiz here.
 

DSC_4258-1.jpg

"Original sticker with stamp pattern" which is a product that won the stamp.

(Do you think this is quite nice with bright colors?)

DSC_4257-1.jpg

We received the quiz correct answer prize "Original mini drawstring with stamp pattern".

(Because it's for 2 people, there are two kinds of prints.

 I was able to receive both types.)

And when I answer the questionnaire, I draw a lottery and give a luxurious prize ...

All of them are "Hazure".

Well, it's hard to hit.

I was worried about the Ginza Prize's "Chopsticks & incense set".

The Akashicho Prize “Clear File & Constellation Quick View Kit” is also available.

I thought it would be possible to use it when the azuki got a little bigger.
 

Nothing.

It was a good exercise after walking around for a day.

I was able to go to places where I don't usually go.

If you don't have children, you will have more room than we have followed.

You may be able to eat more delicious food on the way.
 

"Sensha Bill Stamp & Town Name Quiz Rally" is until January 14 (Monday) next year. You can enjoy it over a long period of time, so please enjoy the whole area of Chuo-ku by all means.

※In addition to the year-end and New Year holidays, there are periods when stamps cannot be installed or quizzes cannot be posted due to facility closures.

In addition, stamp installation time varies depending on the facility.

For details, please refer to the following website.
