Her daughter Azuki's seven-three-three, 1: Let's take a cute picture in the previous shot @ LOVST PHOTO STUDIO Kachidoki Riverside store

[Edamame] October 29, 2018 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.



I'd like to send it in a series for a while from this time.

It's the fall of 3 years old, my daughter Azuki.

There are many things to prepare for kindergarten entrance for next spring ...

There's an important event.

That's right. It's seven five three.

It is a celebration that such a small baby has turned 3 years old safely.

There are a lot of things like kimonos, visiting, and going to eat dinners ...

I would like to write about such a thing about Azuki's Shichigosan.


##################

That's why the first time in the series.

This is the story of the previous shooting in the photo studio.

"I took a picture."

I hear it at weddings, etc., before the actual ceremony or the visit date of Shichigosan this time.

It's about taking pictures on a different schedule.

Especially in the case of Shichigosan, children take pictures with kimonos that they are unfamiliar with and come to visit as they are.

By tightening in the band for a long time

I can see that it's painful, painful, unsatisfied explosion, and a fuss ...

It seems that there are many houses that choose to take the front in the photo studio.


There are many places like photography studios.

I decided to ask you this time

"LOVST PHOTO STUDIO" located in Kachidoki.

Actually, I've always been worried about it.

A high school friend living in the Tsukishima area goes to Facebook.

I was uploading my son Kun (currently 5 years old)'s birthday and photos of Shichigosan.

Well, it's pretty.

I thought it would be nice to have a photo with a natural expression.

When I asked, "Where did you take this picture?", He told me that it was here.

And ... if I told a local mom friend that I decided to ask here

"Actually, I took a picture there. The follow-up of the staff was wonderful. "

"I heard that it's really good!"

It was also very popular in the Hamacho area, which should be a little far from Kachidoki.


Well, on the day.

I got up early and headed for Kachidoki because it was shooting first in the morning.

That's right. Time is strict.

Please note that when you are late = your child's shooting time will decrease accordingly.

When you arrive at the studio, you first choose a kimono, wear it, and make-up.

IMG_2889-1.jpg

Some types of antique kimonos are available in the studio here.

Azuki's select item with purple color this time.

This time, it will be a photo shoot in a kimono, so within the price.

It was very attractive to include "children's hair set & simple makeup & kimono rental & dressing".

(There are places where you can wear clothes and hair sets in the outside beauty salon before coming to the studio.)


That's why it's the first hair and makeup experience in my life.

In the first place, I only say "Yada" at first.

(Although it is also called the basic setting for 3-year-olds.)

But are you worried about what your sister in charge of hair and makeup does?

He said, "Yada," but sat in a chair and had his hair curled.

IMG_2878-1.jpg


When the hair set and makeup (also a little bit of cheeks) are over ...

Finally, the shooting starts!

IMG_2898-1.jpg

I understand after the shooting started.

LOVST staff, the technique to bring out the smiles of children is tremendously wonderful.

That's right.

A child of this age first said, "I don't look at the camera."

And "I'm going to take a picture."

When you shoot for a long time, you'll get tired and get rid of it.

It often occurs when my mother shoots (tears).

A technique that makes full use of the voice and props to avoid it.

This is a professional! I showed you a lot of things like that.

IMG_2899-1.jpg


My mother Edamame's favorite is this scene.

IMG_2915-1.jpg

The back of the red flower was so colorful that I liked it.


Next, I'm playing the ball with a prop handball.

IMG_2916-1.jpg

I'd like a so-called sweeping photo, but I'd like to see it.

By shooting with the feeling of playing, many photos of natural smiles were created.

I like him as a mother Edamame.

If you are in good mood (= I have enough time), you can also change your clothes into Western clothes (girls dresses).

Azuki likes the pink, fluffy dress at a glance. I'm a girl.

IMG_2929-1.jpg

I tried to change the atmosphere by lowering my hair a little.

IMG_2931-1.jpg

I chose the scene with the book because it's a kid who loves picture books.

"You can bring your favorite stuffed animals so that you can take pictures in a good mood."

That's why Kuma-kun, who came from us, is with me.

In such a situation, I was able to finish all shooting with a smile of Nikko Nico.


That's right. Here, it is wonderful to be able to get all the shooting data using LINE on the day of shooting!

(In some places, you can only get a print request, and there are times when it comes to a long time.)

I'd like to send you the data in the CD-ROM at a later date.

It is a world where there are many friends and relatives who have smartphones.

It's very convenient to be able to share photos taken easily.

And you can get "all images" ... 130 images came to my home!

There are 10 monochrome-processed ones plus a total of 140 pieces! ! !

The fact that I was able to take a lot of photos that the shooting went smoothly with a good child, but it was a very satisfying shooting.



IMG_2939-1.jpg

If you wish, you can also make optional products such as calendars and photo books.

I'm looking forward to it.

Actually, Azuki who came to introduce a friend is a referral privilege.

We had you make "half a year's calendar (for one A4 size)".

And I was a little excited and the photo book too!

I'm looking forward to it.


Of course, there are a lot of kimonos and dresses not only for 3 years old but also for bigger children.

The next opportunity (7 years old, 753?) Commemorative graduation of kindergarten? ?) I would like to use it.

I'd like to look forward to that time!

Do you know "Tsukiji Honganji GINZA Salon"?

1. October 29, 2018 09:00

100_2977.JPG

90 minutes in no time for the skillful narrative of humor, such as the distinction between the formats of "Lin", "Innovation", "Rei", and "Gosho", Emperor Go-Daigo, who led to the separation of the samurai class due to the turbulence of "Linsei", and Yoshitsune, who was tosssed by Emperor Goshirakawa's "Insen". This is a course on the 5th floor of the Ginza 2-chome building, "First Kuzushi character ancient document ~ Let's Know ancient document 3". This course is run by Tsukiji Honganji. If you ask the person in charge, it will be about two and a half years since the course started. I was introduced to a friend and learned about this "KORO Academy" and participated in "Tea Room and Sukiya" last week for the first time, and today is the second time. Courses are broadly divided into five fields: "heart", " Buddhism", "education", "experience", and "finish life", "irritability, non-scrupulous techniques", "strong to be stressed by pots and breathing", "inheritance, wills and guardianship learned by rakugo", "opera rakugo", "cinema methodologies", " lymph massage self-care courses", etc. The lecturer of "Taste the words of tea ceremony" is Yabuchi Ryu Iemoto. It's amazing. In addition, there is no enrollment fee for this course, the tuition fee for one course is 1,000 yen. There is also a lunch course, but it is very convenient for those who work mainly from 19:00 on Weekday and return to participate. In addition to the KOKORO Academy, there is also a "good naming" where you can consult with Buddhist monk individually about not only Buddhist affairs and graves but also about everyday life such as human relationships and anxiety. This is free! (Reservation required)

In general, temples do not step too much except for funerals and memorial services, and many people feel that they are far away. Among them, such attempts by Tsukiji Honganji make the temple feel familiar in everyday life. The content of the course has no religious smell at all, and if you notice it, you can think, "Oh, the operation was Tsukiji Honganji!"

 

From November 11 to November 16 at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, the most important event of the year, "Hoonko", the Buddhist memorial service of Shinran Saint Soso, will begin. As a related event, the "Hoonko Concert" was also held on November 4, and both said, "You can see it freely even if you are not a monk." As it is a good opportunity, please also see main hall, the gatepost and stone walls designated as Important Cultural Properties.

What autumn can you enjoy in the Harumi / Tsukishima area?

[Hanes] October 18, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The 66th Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival is currently being held in Chuo-ku.
The other day, I went to Harumi Island Triton Square to see "Flower Carpet Harumi 2018" which was part of that.

Thumbnail image of SHJ.jpg

Harumi has gained more and more attention with the creation of Olympic athlete villages.
Perhaps because of that, this year's theme is "Sports Flower Carpets"
The figures of the players who fascinated the world in the famous scenes that were both memorable and recorded were reproduced with colorful petals.
It can be seen from a distance or a distance, and the dynamism of the players is transmitted.

Thumbnail image of IMG_2424-1.jpg

This flower carpet looks like the fall of sports and the fall of art are fused.
I'm still working on it, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it will be by the Grand Finale on the 16th (Tuesday).

SHJ2.jpg

After that, I looked into the "Harumi Harukko Autumn Festival" held on the cherry blossom promenade and the water terrace.
The character show is crowded with families so that people can get crowded on the second floor.
There are many gourmet foods that invite the appetite unique to autumn of appetite in delicious food stalls!

IMG_2429-1.jpg

After enjoying the autumn in the Harumi area in this way, we enjoyed the autumn.
To the marche of the Sun, one of Japan's largest urban-type marche held at Tsukishima Daini Children's Park
This marche is a place where "eat, buy, learn, and experience" are united and serve as food education.
The theme of October is "Autumn taste gathering from all over the country"!
A selection of farmers from all over the country gather, all of which are high-quality shops.
There is also a gourmet that a certain entertainer ate and praised, and I wanted to visit again.

marche of the sun jpg

Harumi and Tsukishima introduced this time are located a little far away from Ginza and Nihonbashi.
I think there's a lot of access by subway.
However, another means of transportation that I would like to propose at such a time is the Edo Bus, a community bus in Chuo-ku.

Edo_bus.jpg

This bus has a north circulation (in the direction of Nihonbashi) and a south circulation (in the direction of Tsukiji, Tsukishima, Kachidoki).
It is easy to understand how to make free connections between the north circulation and the south circulation, and I often use it recently!
It is recommended because you can travel cheaper than trains and metropolitan buses (100 yen one way for adults), and you can enjoy the scenery of Chuo-ku.
When using the service, please find the autumn of Chuo-ku from the train window.

 

 

[It's an event in the city of medicine] The story of "drugs" you need to know-value useful information-(Nihonbashimuro-cho)

[Dye] October 17, 2018 09:00

It suddenly became chilly.
It's becoming a season when I feel sick.
   
It's not limited to this season, but there's a lot of information about health on TV and the Internet, and everyone's interest is high.
Last year, the “self-medication tax system” was introduced in the medical expenses deduction, and the number of opportunities to choose and take medicine yourself has increased.
     
On the other hand, when you go to a hospital or pharmacy, you may not know what to ask about the medicine, or you may not know how to get information about the medicine.
    
A free event will be held where experts can answer such questions in an easy-to-understand manner!
    
The story of "drugs" you need to know-value useful information immediately-
   
 Date and time: Sunday, October 21, 2018 14:00 to 16:00
 Venue: Nomura Conference Plaza Nihonbashi
 (2-4-3, Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku, YUITO (Yuito) Nihonbashi Muromachi Nomura Building 5F)
     
 Program
 (1) Let's learn with a quiz! This and that of the "medicine" that can be done from today
  ・How to drink medicine
  ・I forgot to drink medicine, etc.
 (2) What I had trouble with "medicine" and how to solve it
  ・Side effects and side effects incidence
  ・Acquisition and handling of correct information
     
 Advisor on the day
  Masahiro Hayashi, Vice Chairman of the Pharmacists Association of Japan Hospital / General Manager of Pharmaceutical Department, Toranomon Hospital
  Mayumi Mochizuki Professor, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Keio University / Director, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Keio University Hospital
 
 Registration is not required, participation fee is free / Please come directly to the venue on the day.
 (Capacity is the first 250 people)
              
     
By the way, the venue for this event is Nihonbashi Muromachi, but the area around Nihonbashi Honmachi 3-chome is an area where medicinal merchants gathered in the town layout of the Edo period, and there are still many headquarters of major pharmaceutical companies and foreign pharmaceutical companies.
  
Medicines can only be useful if used correctly.
Why don't you think about the history of Nihonbashi, the city of medicine, and solve your daily concerns and questions about medicine?
   
I recommend it!

With a souvenir of malt! How about local beer in Ginza @Izakaya Hachiban

[Hanes] October 15, 2018 18:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, I visited Izakaya Yaban, which I had been worried about for a long time.
 
This is an izakaya with a homely atmosphere with many regulars.
Unlike others, there is a beer brewery that has only a few beers in Chuo-ku!
In other words...It's a rare izakaya where you can enjoy local beer from Ginza.

40.jpg

24 years since it opened...
In the history of Ginza, where new things always gather, we have firmly left a footprint.
I want to go again! This time, I will tell you about the charm of Hachiban.
 
■Friendly Masters and Regulars
Helping that you don't have the opportunity to go to an izakaya, is it okay to go alone?
When you enter the store with such anxiety, you can see a regular chatting with a beer in one hand.
Up to this point, it seems to be a common sight in any izakaya, but
A friendly voice from the master who is also an exciting part of the game.
It is unique to this place where even one person or a person who goes to the shop for the first time can get acquainted with nature.

malt_ginza5.jpg

■Furnishings of historical value
The first thing that surprised me after sitting was that there was a piano even though it was an izakaya.
If you talk to the master, it will be used for live performances!
If you take this opportunity to look around the store, you can see the laser discs, models, mugs, and chests that are the treasures of the master.
It's all precious now, and it's irresistible for me who like antiques.
In addition, the tables and chairs in the store are made of wood, making it a space where you can feel some warmth.
Isn't this exactly a place where you can relax and relax, not in a chain store?

DSC_2787.JPG

■I don't know what will come out
Another feature of hachiban is that there is no menu!
I heard rumors, but I thought it was no doubt and checked the website of the shop.
It says there is no menu there.
According to what I heard, they offer dishes using fresh ingredients from that time.
All the dishes are delicious, so you can enjoy them as if you were drawing lots without a splash.
Every time you visit, you can have another dish, so I'd like to come again.
 
If you visit this izakaya, in addition to the exterior and interior, you can also enjoy Japanese food such as motsu stew and buri radish.
I think you will receive the first impression of "The Japanese Izakaya".
However, since the master went to France to train wine, he said.
You can also taste fashionable European dishes.
Roast pork, penne genobese, Kish Lorraine, aquapatzza, shoe crut, etc.
All of them are dishes that you want to try once!
 
And from November, the annual offering of Anko-nabe will begin.
It seems that fresh anko is purchased from Tsukiji (hereinafter Toyosu).
While drinking local beer (all-you-can-drink) from Ginza, tap the Anko pot and taste it.
If you want to have a year-end party, don't forget to make a reservation in advance.
 
■Local beer in Ginza
The foreground was longer, but the local beer I received was
Weitzen, a traditional German beer that uses more than 50% wheat sprouts.
Ginza local beer made by the master over half a day at the attached brewery!
Isn't it easy to drink even if you are not very good at bitter beer like me because it has little bitterness?

DSC_2729.JPG

And one item that I didn't know what would come out was Tarako's dip!
This is French bread, which is more delicious when chewed, and has a special tarako dip.
There is something greenish in the dip, but its identity is raw green laver.
The discerning dip, which is full of originality not found in other stores, goes well with bread.
 
■Correspondent's Listening Information
Here you can get the malt used in beer brewing!
It seems that the malt received this time was used to prepare Vaiszen on that day.
It was still warm when I asked you to pick it up at 20.
If you want malt, please check the schedule by phone or shop.
(※ Limited to those who can go to the site.)

DSC_2733.JPG

I tried to make a malt floor (a stylish version of bran pickles) with the long-awaited malt.
Rather than smelling hands like rice bran, rather a good scent!
Immediately, I picked the end summer vegetables (eggplant and cucumber) mainly.

malt_ginza7.jpg

Stirring the malt a few days...
It was an elegant finish with a slight aroma and taste of wheat!
Very rare malt pickles can be easily pickled, so why not try them once?
 
However, in fact, many people say, "I like pickles, but I don't like pickles because it's troublesome to pick them yourself."
For such people, I would like to recommend malt soy milk coffee.
There is no need to stir like pickles every day, making it very easy.
Simply put an appropriate amount of malt, soy milk, and coffee (powder or instant) in a pot, warm and filter!
If you don't have a French press, you can use a filter or a fine-grained item.

malt_ginza8.jpg

Malt with more versatility than expected...
It contains vitamin B1, vitamin B2, folic acid, vitamin E, etc.
It is also nice to have high nutritional value, such as recovery from fatigue, improving immunity, and preventing arteriosclerosis.
In addition, if you are in a vegetable garden, you can also use it as fertilizer.

At Izakaya Hachiban, you can enjoy local beer, and get along with the shops and regulars.
You can get souvenirs of malt (advance notice required), etc.
If you haven't tried local beer in Ginza yet, why not visit it?
