【Cooking class for authentic Japanese food】 Ginza Fujita (Ginza 8-chome)

[Dye] July 29, 2018 12:00

The Japanese cooking class "Ginza Fujita" introduced before
The other day, I was finally able to finish the intermediate class!
    
    
s53_08.jpg
It is located on the first basement floor of the Third Soire de Bldg., near Hakuhinkan, along Chuo-dori.
    

"Ginza Fujita" is a Japanese restaurant with an adult atmosphere that is usually used for entertainment, but cooking classes are held during the daytime and Saturday on weekdays.
Beginning with the beginner class, and when it is over, the applicant will proceed to the intermediate class.
    
Professionals will teach you directly, and it is attractive that you can do it alone instead of working in a group. On the other hand, there are 5 to 6 students in one class, so it's fun to have friends, and I can listen to questions that I can't think of alone, so I can study.
    

In the beginner class, I learned from the basics such as how to take out barefoot and how to use kitchen knives.
During class, you can judge many fish, make several eggs and thick rolls, and there are many repetitive exercises, soak the body to some extent even in the class alone.
    
In the intermediate class, the main thing is to devise using your head, such as how to use seasonings and arrange them, so you can get a glimpse of the depth of cooking.
The horse mackerel fried even in the beginner is made with unusual clothes instead of bread crumbs, and also elaborate dishes such as pork kakuni, lily root buns, and crab dishes.

Delicate and delicious Yurine Manju (!) Sweet fried chicken with saury.
The crab was cooked with a whole cup of cooked rice and cream cheese.
   
    
In the spring, you can make a wild vegetable bowl using butterbur and feel the season, and learn how to make duck meat, which was mysterious to handle personally, soft.

s53_07.jpg s53_06.jpg
It's a great deal. 。 。 Finally, it became sashimi. Oh...(^_^;)
      
       
When I actually tried it once, I was confident that it wasn't so hard, and I came to think about the original taste of the ingredients, so the seasonings that I had put like a routine until now are unnecessarily used.
     
In addition, the kelp tightening of fish taught in the cooking class is made a little bit at home. In that case, I was wondering if there was any delicious sake that would suit it....
Until now, I wasn't very interested in alcohol, and I thought it would be good for potatoes and juice, but I was surprised by myself.
      
      
The number of drawers for cooking has increased, but the way of enjoying life has expanded.
    

And the most important thing I learned is that cooking is free.
(There are some points that must not be removed!)
     
I thought I had to do it exactly as I was told in a cooking book, etc., so it was a great discovery that it was fun to think freely and deliciously.
The Japanese food-related cooking book I had no longer feel the necessity, so only the cooking class notebook of "Ginza Fujita" is on our bookshelf!
     
s53_09.jpg
Wouldn't it be nice to have this? ?
    

Before going to the cooking class, the craftsmen seemed to be strict, and I was nervous to call inquiries, but Mr. Fujita here is a person full of hospitality and humor, so there is no need to worry about that. did.
You mentioned that you want the students to enjoy it through cooking, but that's true! It was very fun.
     

I have to proceed to the intermediate class only after finishing the beginner class, but for about three years in total, there were new discoveries every time, and I was so fulfilling that I wanted to go more.
    
Like the meal of "Ginza Fujita", it is not only delicious, but also the excitement of "I have such an idea", so both classes are a sloppy one who has gained some cooking experience. I think.
     

If you are interested, please call us first from the beginner class (*^^*)

[Chuo Ward Sports Center] It will be decided to expand the Hawaiian rhythmic class from September!

[Edamame] July 21, 2018 12:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

Today is super! I'll give you a quick report.


In fact, today (July 18), the last round of the first parent-child Hawaiian rhythm course (April-September) was held at the Chuo Ward Sports Center in Hamacho.

(Edamame and her daughter Azuki participated in "A Class".

 The final round of "B Class" will be next week.

That's right.

/archive/2017/07/post-4450.html

↑It's a blog article I wrote about a year ago, but since then I've been running out of lotteries and going there all the time.

DSC_3140-1.jpg

※The photo was taken by a teacher in June this year brought a handmade "Ray made of fresh flower hydrangea".


But.

Because of the popular course, it has become a "lottery" every time.

Moms who often talk at children's centers, etc., often heard stories saying, "I couldn't do this time ~ (sigh)".

As in the Hamacho area where the sports center is located, the population of the child-raising generation in Chuo-ku continues to increase, so the number of people who want to participate in this lesson inevitably continues to increase.

That's why Edamame & Azuki was probably so lucky that he had been going all the time.



It was such a situation...

At the end of today's lesson, I had a conversation with you.

Recruitment of the "second term" for the next term and September to December will begin today, but from the "second term", in addition to the Wednesday class that had been implemented so far, the number of classes will be added on Tuesday It is decided that

That's right.

For more information, please see the course information page of the General Sports Center.

http://www.chuo-sports.jp/fleely.html

When the popularity is concentrated, this "Hawaiian rhythmic" lesson was nearly twice as large as magnification.

I wonder if there were many people who hesitated to apply in the first place because they might not hit it. I think so.

This simply doubles the capacity limit, so more and more people will be able to participate in the lesson with a considerable probability.


It is a valuable place where parents and children can have fun and have fun, and in the first place, "Hawaiian"

Recently, I realized again that rhythmic is not something that can be experienced anywhere.

(When I went to a hands-on lesson for various lessons with Azuki at the time of the year, I was also asked about my current lessons.

At that time, when I said "Hawaiian rhythmic", "I heard that for the first time! It seems to be fun! "

We hope that many people will participate!


Lessons at the General Sports Center, where classes other than small children are also substantial.

The deadline for recruiting regular classes for the second term (September to December) must arrive on August 16 (Thursday). 

It's a coincidence.

The lessons for adults are full of interesting things, and they are full of interesting things.

(New course "Beautiful posture pelvic exercise" or something I want to go right now)

Above all, it's quite reasonable when you think about going to a gym or the like.

Be sure to check it out.

[Morning activity in Hamacho] Refreshing work with moderate exercise!

[Hanes] July 19, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This year's "Time difference Biz" begins on July 9th (Monday).
I guess some people have shifted to morning work a little more than before.
The company where I work has also introduced a time difference Biz so that time can be used more effectively.
Similarly, if you have transitioned to the morning type, why not start morning activities with this?

IMG_20180715_184849.jpg

This time, we will introduce the morning activities that can be done at Hamacho Park as the third installment of the morning activity series!
Some of you may have heard of Hamacho Park, but I think you may have a pinch.
There is a Chuo Ward Sports Center on the grounds of the park.

IMG_9764.JPG

There are a variety of facilities, including swimming pools and golf driving ranges.
It is also a nice point that you can use with a convenient fee.
And since it is open from 7 o'clock in the morning, you can exercise lightly before going to work!

I was afraid of heat stroke outdoors and used the training room for the first time in July.
Normally, it starts at 400 yen for 2 hours, but it is a nice service for those who work outside the ward that can be used only in the early morning of weekdays for 200 yen per hour.

IMG_9775.JPG

You will take the first class before use, so don't worry even beginners in the training room!
There is also a sheet that describes which machine is effective for what.
I am able to do training that suits me without being confused.

Also, don't worry if you arrive at the sports center early.
There are facilities outside the sports center where you can exercise, and you can relax by watching sculptures and wild birds.

In addition, there is Kiyomasa Koji Temple, dedicated to Kato Kiyomasa, enshrined in the park!
This place used to be the Nakayashiki of Mr. Hosokawa, Kumamoto feudal lord, and this temple was founded in 1861 by Kumamoto Honmyoji.

IMG_9772.JPG

It is said that ordinary people were also allowed to worship during the Edo period.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to visit while imagining the situation at that time?
You can also see the snake's eyes and bellflowers, which are the emblems of Kato Kiyomasa, throughout the temple.

In summer with long sunshine hours, "Early getting up is the virtue of Sanbun"!
Why don't you use the cool morning time for your hobbies and study?
You will be able to go to work refreshingly, and you will be able to work hard.

 

 

Nihonbashi Takashimaya Pokemon Center Tokyo DX & Pokemon Cafe

[Silver] July 18, 2018 14:00

 In the east wing of Nihonbashi Takashimaya, there is "Pokemon Center Tokyo DX & Pokemon Cafe".

The access passage from the 8th floor of the main building is convenient.

  It was a weekday morning, but it was a foreign customer.

1531210370677.jpg

 Your family was in sight.

1531210308648.jpg

 The children were crazy about the game and character goods. As a souvenir, I purchased a clear file with the building of Takashimaya, an important cultural property, and Pika Zhu.

 

 "Pokemon Cafe" requires advance reservation. I was allowed to take pictures of the atmosphere of the cafe.

1531210425454.jpg

 As of 11:30, it's almost full. You can see the height of popularity.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Recently, hot days exceeding 35 degrees have been continuing.
I'm worried about heat stroke, but when it gets hot, some people may feel better that summer has finally come.

It's an oasis in the city - a parasol with mist at Sukiyabashi Park and a tourist information center

1. July 14, 2018 12:00

100_2821.JPG 100_2822.JPG

On the way back from shopping, I went through Sukiyabashi Park. Some unusual colors come out of the orange parasol when you get close to your eyes. The explanation version set up by the Ginza Street Federation stated, "As a countermeasure against heat stroke, we will install a micro-mist and a parasol with micro-mist to alleviate the heat felt by humans." Looking at it, it was said that it started last year as a “Heat Countermeasures Project for Tokyo 2020”. It seems to be installed until September except on rainy days.

When you enter the parasol, it certainly feels different from the outside heat. Some people were taking a nap comfortably.

100_2824.JPG

Then I found a "tourist information center" across Sukiya Street. It seems that this "Tourist Information Center" has been open since the completion of Tokyu Plaza, but in fact I noticed for the first time. This Sukiya-dori passes well, but it was too blended into the plaza building and thought it was a cafe and passed as usual. Of course, English is available at the information center for foreigners, and Chinese is available depending on the day. There are a variety of guide maps for walking around the city. The person in charge said, "It seems to be inconspicuous because it is one line from Sotobori-dori St.," but I hope it will be more known because it is a convenient information center for tourists.

It is also a great place to rest during walking around the city.

Tourist Information Center Ginza 5-21 Tokyu Plaza 1F 11:00-18:00
