Pay one year to guardian god

[Tom downtown] 09:00 on December 27, 2013

This year, there are few left. For those who are related to Chuo-ku, various memories will surely be mixed.

 

New Year's Eve soba sample. jpgWhen Christmas is over, you're ready for the New Year. It's a busy year, such as cleaning up and preparing New Year's dishes. And how will you all spend New Year’s Eve? People who are busy preparing for the new year until the end, those who work during the year-end and New Year holidays, and those who spend leisurely ... It is a day to look back on each year.

  

Speaking of New Year's Eve, many people will eat "New Year's Eve soba". Originally, "New Year's Eve" refers to "Setsubun", which began to pray for sound health and eat auspicious soba. In the old lunar calendar, "Rishun" was the New Year, so the previous day's "Setsubun" was considered important. Later, the last day of December became "New Year's Eve", and it became established throughout the country with the introduction of the solar calendar. Now it is a feature of New Year's Eve, along with the "nighting bell".

 

Namiki Shrine great exorcism 2.jpgIn fact, there is another important traditional event on New Year's Eve. This is to visit "great exorcism" at a shrine. It is an important ceremony that removes daily impurities and entrusts wishes to the New Year together with the "Natsukoshi Exorcism" (Nago Shinohara) on the eve of June. It has been held since the Nara and Heian eras. On this day, we will go through the "Chinowa" that will be evil and cleanse ourselves. And he dedicates a "doll" (persongata) by entrusting himself to remove filthiness.

In the first place, the meaning of visiting a shrine is to express gratitude for your daily protection and to dispel your mistakes and filth. It is said that you do not suddenly wish.

Koami-jinja Shrine Katashiro jpgIn that sense, great exorcism is more meaningful than new year worshipping.

 

There are also many shrines in Chuo-ku that perform this ceremony. In my case, I have touched on this event at [Hazuki Shrine] [Tetsubosu Inari Shrine] [Koami Shrine]. In each case, I was wrapped in the style and rigor cultivated in history and tradition, and I felt somewhat tight.

Thank you very much for your support this year. We hope you have a good year.

 

 

 

St. Luke's Health Nabis Pot Runabi St. Luke's College of Nursing Choir, Mini Concert & Health Course in Sign Language Department

[Ginzo] 14:00 on December 25, 2013

 On December 19, for the third consecutive year, "I came to listen to the chorus by students of St. Luke's College of Nursing.

Everyone rushed in the rain and during the day break, healing the people who came with a clear chorus.

There are four songs that sang: "Sholy Night", "Akahana no Tokai", and "Santa came to town".

It was a really fun time to wash my heart. Thank you for the wonderful song present.

Merry Christmas to you 

  
By the way, the mini-health course is by dental hygienists Mayumi Takimoto and Keiko Sugiyama

"Healthy longevity is from the mouth" and the subtitle was "Tooth energy, bone energy, brain energy".

 
According to the story of the relationship between the number of remaining teeth and the total medical expenses, if the number of remaining teeth is large, the total medical expenses will be reduced.

For people with healthy gums and people with more than 20 teeth, it costs about 200,000 yen.

Data was introduced that people with low teeth and diabetes spend about 310,000 yen in total medical expenses.

 Also, in the story of the relationship between the number of remaining teeth and dementia,

If you have less teeth, there is no stimulation that chewing exercise will give to the brain, so it is more likely to develop dementia.

I've listened seriously to the importance of keeping the mouth clean and the story of cleaning the tongue.

 I was told that exercise was also important, and I decided to do it every day immediately.

Well, just a few more this year. Keep your precious teeth and mouth clean, eat delicious food, and have a good new year.

"Ehmon is here, Tokushima"

[Ginzo] December 19, 2013 17:12

 Chuo-ku is like a cluster of antenna shops in each prefecture, and there are many wonderful shops especially in Ginza.

 Even so, Ginza 1-chome has antenna shops in Okinawa, Kochi, Ibaraki and Fukui prefectures.

 "Emon Arade Tokushima" in Tokushima Prefecture opened the other day at the Hishimeku Place.

 In front of the shop, a video of Awa Odori was performed.

   "Fish cutlet (mini) 6 pieces 315 yen"

 It was already sold out because it was cheap, but it was a specialty of the prefecture.

 Tokushima Ramen, Iya soba, Handa Tebefushimen, Shirataki Fushimen, and spicy makara

 I bought it. On the day, in commemoration of the opening of the store, we received two specialty yuzus from Tokushima with a service.

 Sodani is famous for its Kazra valley, but the soba here is a gem. I bought it for New Year's Eve soba.

 If you cut the yellow skin and add it to the shochu or awamori lock, the good aroma will distract the nostrils and enjoy a delicious dinner.

 From December 21 to 30, "Christmas lottery will be held! "Because there was a description in the flyer I received,

 You can't miss this either. Don't miss it !

  Tokushima Prefecture is famous for its whirlpools in Naruto.

 Recently, I heard that Tokushima Vortis has been promoted to the J League Division 1.

 I hope you will do your best in the J League as well.

 The shops you care about are Ginza 1-chome 5-5, telephone 03-5579-9947,

It is next to the Ginza cafe, Ginbis shop where Mapi was introduced the other day. /archive/2013/11/post-1825.html

 These silver bises and chocolate cookies are also very beautiful. It's five stars!

 By the way, why don't you take a walk in the antenna shop of each prefecture for a little fun?

I hope you will find a nostalgic taste.Apple Ginzo

 

 

Kyoto Vegetables in the downtown area "The Story behind alleys" IN Ningyocho

[kimitaku] December 18, 2013 08:36

 

 On the way to work in Koharu weather 

 Walk along Kinza-dori from the intersection of Genji-ten (Genya Dana) to the west toward Kanda.

I found Kyoto vegetables in the second alley.

 P1000638-ieb.jpgP1000645-1jinn.jpg

 

 Fresh vegetables.

 I was exposed to the clear skin in the winter sun.

P1000639-kuro.jpgP1000640-1.jpg

 When you ask your husband,

 The husband and the girl at Hiiragiya, a very famous ryokan in Kyoto, are cousins.

 I met an NPO vegetable research institute that I met near Daimaru Department Store near Nishikikoji.

They say they are sharing the vegetables.

 

 The husband has lived in Ningyocho for a long time and has also participated in the baseball team (Nihonbashi Drinkers).

I also showed you a picture.

 

 Kyoto vegetables ... ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Vegetables that have a faint color and feel the gentle scent of soil.

  

 Kujo green onion Tamba black beans from canola flower Kamogawa in Sagano  

 The bright red Kintoki carrot has a more transparent shade than the maple of Arashiyama.

It seems that they are operating together, and while my husband is dealing with me, the landlady said, the neighboring group, the neighborhood association distributed leaflets that opened, and the customer immediately.

 I also immediately bought all-you-can-pack 500 yen of shrimp potato in Kyoyama potato.

 The shop opens about once a month.

 

 Next time, it is said that it will be opening a store in Kachidoki's "marche of the Sun".

Here in Ningyocho, he seems to be looking for a place where the sales space is a little small and can be sold at all times.

Opening information for wholesalers (Horikoshi tie)

[Tachibana] 14:00 on December 3, 2013

The second release of wholesaler release information is sold to amateurs of companies that manufacture and wholesale ties.

(Family Sale) is introduced.

The company is Horikoshi tie Co., Ltd. located at 1-chome Higashi Nihonbashi.

Horikoshi has been a company that has been handling ties in a single way since its founding, overcoming the waves of Cool Biz for less than 70 years. It seems that all the original ties of a major supermarket are made by Horikoshi.

We usually open the showroom for professional buyers, not only our own ties, mufflers, pocket chips, etc.

Import brands such as Ferragamo and Armani are also available.

horikoshi3.jpg




The price, including import, is almost half of the market price.

In this way, there is no problem with quality in sales where wholesalers open their own store, so you can shop with confidence.

I bought a tie and a pocket knife this year, following last year.

It is a bargain from fashionable import brands to ties that can be made into a company every day.
The products we handle are specialized for men, so how about women as gifts?
