Nihonbashi Nagasakikan & Tsukiji JF Nagasaki Fisheryen Tokyo Direct Sales Office

[Silver] March 31, 2016 09:00

 I went to Nihonbashi Nagasakikan, which opened on March 7th. 

The location is the Yanagiya Building on Eitai-dori St. in Nihonbashi, and we went to Sotobori-dori St. about two houses.

The relationship between Nagasaki and Nihonbashi continues all the time since the Nagasakiya of Nihonbashi was a place to stay for Dutch trading post Choichi in the Edo period.

When you enter the store, you will find a lot of special products from Nagasaki.

I tasted Iki's shochu.

There is a bar counter, where you can enjoy famous sake slowly here.

 We also recommend the JF Nagasaki Prefectural Fisheries Federation Tokyo Direct Sales Office at Tsukiji Outer Market.

Here, I purchased three-piece grated fish of the seasonal fish "Aohata". I'm going to enjoy sashimi with this tonight.

And the important thing is soy sauce. "Kanro Sashimi Soy Sauce Salt Hikame" is manufactured by Choko Shoyu Co., Ltd., a soy sauce maker in Nagasaki Prefecture. It goes well with white sashimi.

If you have a banquet, please purchase fresh seasonal fish here by around noon. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

 

 

[Showa Doritanken Record] #07: At-home Healing Pet Shop (Ginza 2-chome)

[Dye] March 14, 2016 14:00

Hello. The pollen is flying around, how are you all going?

 

By the way, I love cats very much, but I'm sad, maybe I'm allergic and sneezed, so I've never kept them at the cat cafe for a while. 。 。

 

So, in fact, if you pass in front of this, you will be healed by seeing a cat dog.

That's why this time, I would like to introduce the pet salon "Char Charles Ginza" in Ginza 2-chome.

s25_01.jpg

 It is on the way to Chuo-ku government office along the road between Ginza Ichi Post Office on Showa-dori and Kuroneko Yamato Building.

 

It opened 16 years ago on November 22 (Wanwan Nyan Nyan Nyan Day).

In a cozy atmosphere, I will kindly teach you a lot of things you don't understand.

And above all, the love for dogs and cats is very deep.

s25_02.jpg s25_03.jpg

Charles' wish is that they want these children to be loved and be happier than they are here ('@`*).

 

It was said that breeders were also being done, and on the day I heard the story, there was a rare ear-breaking manchikan.

In the past, he also handled large dogs such as Great Pirenees and Barneys.

s25_04.jpg s25_05.jpg

All of Charles's children are good.

He had a good personality, was friendly, relaxed and calm, and after a while I was on the side (* ^^*)

 

In addition, the following is done, and anyone can use it.

☆Trimming (reservation required. If your hands are empty, you can jump in.

☆Training consultation (held once a month. Reservation required.

☆Pet hotel

It would be nice to start a new life in spring soon with a cute partner.

In the case of a cat, it is OK if it is tall, and he is good at answering machine.◎

 

Charles is a reassuring shop that can help you, and it's a coincidence, the veterinary clinic and pet goods shop are close to you.

In addition, there are many people like me who can't keep it but look at it, and that's OK.

In fact, while listening to the story, many people stopped walking in front of the shop and looked into the window.

The hot spot I found in Ginza.

Please take a glimpse into it and will be healed ~ (=^ ・ ^=)

CK1522-201603091.jpg CK1522-201603092.jpg

In recent years, we have seen many antenna shops in Chuo-ku, but "Tokyo Class A Gourmet Vol.1 (2016 January)" "According to the fact that there are 47 antenna shops nationwide from Nihonbashi to Ginza to Tsukiji areas. This is the first time that Nagasaki Prefecture has opened an antenna shop, and it conveys the appeal of Nagasaki, not only the standard products of Nagasaki Prefecture. Dutch trading post, who was stationed in Nagasaki during the Edo period, stayed at Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi during Edo Sanfu once a year and contributed to the selection.

The store consists of four zones: 1 "Tourist Information", 2 "Product Sales", 3 "Light Food and Drink", and 4 "Events".

③In the "Event" zone, we will hold sightseeing PR, demonstration sales, and events linked to the "Light Food and Drink" zone. It seems that they are planning a fun event every season.

This video introduces the "Meiji Japan's Industrial Revolution Heritage" registered in World Heritage last July and "Nagasaki Churches and Christianity-related Heritage" aiming to be registered as a World Cultural Heritage with large models (such as Gunkanjima) and powerful images.

"Edo Kiriko" @ Sukiyabashi

[Nanako Tsukishima] March 10, 2016 09:00

Ginza Toshiba Building was located at the corner of Sukiyabashi intersection.

Mosaic Ginza Hankyu (formerly Sukiyabashi Hankyu) was included.

It's been nearly three and a half years since my favorite building closed.IMG_5474.JPG

And finally, on March 31, this month, I will be reborn.

As "Tokyu Plaza Ginza".
 

On a site of approximately 3,700 square meters, 5 floors underground and 11 floors above ground.

Of these, 13 floors will be commercial areas and 125 stores will be occupied.

The development concept is

"Creative Japan - The world will be interesting from here. "~"

It's something that I wanted to refine "Ginza-likeness".

It really gives you a sense of a new landmark suitable for Ginza.
 

And the most eye-catching thing is the exterior of the building.

Based on the concept of "light vessel", the motif is "Edo Kiriko", a traditional craft.

It is a beautiful building full of Japanese taste.
 

This "Edo Kiriko" is now one of Tokyo's most famous souvenirs.

Originally, it seems that the beginning of 1834 (Tenbo 5) was devised by Otemmacho's Biidoroya and Kubei Kagaya to sculpture on the surface of glass using Kongo sand.

 
On the 6th floor of the building and on the rooftop

"KIRIKO LOUNGE" (Chirico Lounge)

It seems that there is a public space named "KIRIKO TERRACE".

Here is also the appearance of Kiriko!

 
By the way, the pattern of Edo Kiriko is called "Uoko", and the Edo Kiriko Association has set July 5th.

It has been established as "Edo Kiriko Day".
 

I was happy because I was connected to Nanako.

I'm looking forward to the opening day.

 

 

 

Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi "Ongaku no Cafe"

[kimitaku] March 9, 2016 12:00

A warm weekend day 

We crossed Nihonbashi from Chuo-dori and strolled through the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building.

  

When you get down to B2, it smells very fragrant. 

When you visit the source of fragrance, you will see "Miyakoshi Coffee Shop" in front of you.

Just behind that.

The signboard of "Ongaku no Café" caught my eye, a young man holding a guitar and a woman wearing black clothes soon appeared.

It seems that the performance of the two people with a lot of smiles will begin.

 "Lansan Screen 18"

 While having a Laos coffee, I went to the front row seat.

DSC_0077.JPG DSC_0078.JPG

 During the performance, the amplitude and singing voice of the guitar string resonated lightly, the melody was very pleasant, and the end ended with the Beatles song.

  

 On Friday evening, the deep coffee scent and performance matched.

I was able to spend a blissful time.  

 It is said that this mini concert will be held every Friday and Saturday evening. Please come and visit us.

"Aisan Soy Sauce" Ginza Debut Matsuya Ginza

1. March 3, 2016 16:00

100_1934.JPG100_1935.JPG

I immediately looked at Nikkei's article, "80 brands in Matsuya Ginza, a unique soy sauce nationwide." The headquarters of the traditional design studio that develops [craftsman soy sauce] is Maebashi City, and this is the first time that a store is opened outside Maebashi. On the 5th day of the opening, I heard about the second basement floor of Matsuya Ginza. When you get off the escalator, there is a notice of "craftsman soy sauce open". Immediately on the left corner, I saw a stylish logo of "craftsman soy sauce". Tastening of soy sauce! You can see customers who are asking various questions while doing so. Soy sauce in a cute bottle of 100ml is available. It is classified as "white soy sauce", "Awaguchi soy sauce", "sweet soy sauce", "dense soy sauce", "re-prepared soy sauce", and "reserved soy sauce". Soy sauce made by 80 kinds of craftsmen selected from all over the country. It is a very nice display that combines each characteristic label design. Only the best brands and breweries I see for the first time for me who use only the rich and Awaguchi of the national brands. I've had "sweet" and "tame", but there is also a kind of "re-prepared soy sauce". There is a pamphlet that illustrates what kind of dish this soy sauce goes well with, "Good with ice?" There was even "Tsuru sauce". It is said that these 80 kinds of soy sauce were searched around the country by President Takahashi himself. I noticed the cute design bottles, but this time I received "Shirotamari", "Karushi", and "Usukuchi Natural Soy Sauce". If you purchase more than 1000 yen for the opening commemoration now, you will get one extra (about 400 yen to 600 yen per bottle). This time, "Yokohama Soy Sauce". Do you make soy sauce in Yokohama?

 

100_1936.JPG

"Karushi" is smoked soy sauce with smoked soy sauce, and it was stated in the pamphlet that "It's delicious if you put it directly on a steak or roast beef." It is a shop that makes it fun to think in the opposite pattern, "What kind of food should I make to match this soy sauce?" It's recommended as a small present because the eyes are different. Well, what goes well with this soy sauce?

"Aisan Soy Sauce" Matsuya Ginza store B2 10:00 to 20:00
