Let's review your diet! Nihonbashi Rocabo Festival 2018

[Hanes] December 15, 2018 18:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Previously, in this article, at Gunma-chan's antenna shop "Gunma-chan House" in Gunma Prefecture.
We introduced that you can purchase a rocabo cake made by collaboration of vegetables from Gunma Prefecture and patisserie potato zier.
A few years after the gradual carbohydrate restriction "Rocabo" began to spread, an event specializing in it was also held in Chuo-ku.
That is the Nihonbashi Rocabo Festival 2018, which was held from November 23 to 25.

First of all, at the AGEs measurement booth, check the aging substance.
Just put your finger in the machine, measuring is very easy!
(* The AGEs measurement device is still in the introduction stage, and it seems that it will gradually be able to measure it at drugstores etc. in the future!)
The AGEs I heard for the first time this time is an abbreviation for final glycation Endproducts.
Because it is produced by aging, it is an aging substance that exists in everyone's body.
It is also produced when excess sugar is linked to proteins.

As this AGEs accumulates, the quality of elastic collagen decreases.
Inducing skin (wrinkles, sagging, dullness), bone and blood vessels (degraded quality), etc.
It can help accelerate aging phenomena and damage health.
Especially for women who care about beauty, it can be said to be an enemy!

What are the results of my AGEs measurements of self-proclaimed health otaku?...Middle-aged 100 people of the same age....
"I was concerned about calories, but I didn't care much about carbohydrates...."he said.
I immediately went to the booth introducing Rocabo food.

At the booth of "Maruhon Sesame Oil" by Takemoto, which has a Tokyo sales office in Nihonbashi, Mr.
With the phrase "oil is no longer an enemy!", Introducing recipes and
We distributed sampling with sesame oil to Grico Ice SUNAO (vanilla).

Eitaro Sohonbu, who has been in business for 200 years this year, introduced the products of Eitaro Shoji's "Eitaro Body"!
If you look at it later, it seems that you can buy it at NATURAL LAWSON as well.

In addition, Calbee's "flugra carbohydrate off" and Monterre's "petit cream puff with consideration for carbohydrate".
We introduced Saraya's "Herushi rice" and Lawson's "Branpan" and distributed sampling.

After looking around, go to Fukutoku no Mori in search of the original Rocabo menu.
Here, we were able to purchase dishes, sweets, and drinks using Rocabo products from the company introduced this time.

What I chose was "chicken porridge" and "Azuki hi"!
"Chicken porridge" includes Rocabo-style rushi rice (Saraya), incense sesame oil (Takemoto oil), and 70% off-saccharide gold (Ninben) with sugar.
"Azuki Hai" uses polyphenol azuki tea (Eitaro Sohonbu).

It is light and gentle to the body, and it is reconfirmed that if you chew and eat even a small amount over time, you will get a feeling of fullness.
I was able to learn something about high-carbohydrate foods, and I was able to get tips on cooking that was conscious of carbohydrate off.
In particular, it was a great discovery that high-calorie and high-carbohydrate foods are not necessarily equal!

Finally, we challenged the Locaboku's Rally, which was very popular.

IMG_20181202_191244.jpg

We had low-carbohydrate foods and seasonings that could easily start carbohydrate off from that day.
In this way, low-carbohydrate food is unexpectedly around you!

(We also had easy chocolate during breaks at work.)

This event has ended, but Nihonbashi is carrying out a Nihonbashi carbohydrate-off project called "Edomae Rocabo".
On the Nihonbashi Rocabo Festival website, you can see the carbohydrate off menu available in Nihonbashi.

I'm enjoying every day with a cute prime of azuki-chan.
Like the Hama House in Nihonbashihamacho, where the powerful senior correspondent Edamame is often talking about.
Recently, town development with awareness of food education and health promotion has become noticeable in each area.

A healthy diet that tends to be neglected when working...
I myself decided to take this opportunity to review it.
If you are concerned about your health, why don't you try to clean carbohydrate in Nihonbashi?

Why don't you go to Harumi Wharf in the evening?

[kimitaku] December 10, 2018 18:00

 We took a walk at Harumi Wharf in a sunny autumn evening. During the day, the hustle and bustle flows during the construction of Olympic-related facilities, but from the evening, a wonderful night view spreads all over. kimitaku4_20181127.jpg   kimitaku3_20181127.jpg   From October this year, Toyosu Market Toyomi Ohashi has also been added. Especially in the Toyosu Market, the entire building is illuminated, making it even more beautiful.  ・・... to get to Harumi Wharf. ・・・・・  It takes about 20 minutes by bus bound for Harumi Wharf from Tokyo Station and is a zero-minute walk.  It is about a 20-minute walk from the Toei Subway Kachidoki Station.

What is 1:29:300? Let's be careful about the minor things we found at the construction site.

[Silver] December 10, 2018 09:00

What is 1:29:300? It was displayed on the panel I saw at the construction site of an apartment in Harumi.

DSCN2555 (400x300). jpg

 

The law of 1:29:300 was called the law of Heinrich.

 The law of 1:29:300 is one of the rules of thumb in occupational accidents, with 29 minor accidents behind one serious accident, with 300 abnormalities in the background. It is also known as Heinrich's law, derived from Herbert William Heinrich (1886-1962), who derived this law.
 In November 1929, Heinrich, Deputy General Manager of the Technology and Research Department at a non-life insurance company in the United States, published an analysis of the probability of occurrence of occupational accidents as a paper. There were 29 minor disasters with a degree of frared injuries, and 300 "disaster-free incidents" behind them.

*I also remembered ISO activities that tried to prevent occupational accidents by analyzing the events that "misses and hats" at production sites. I believe that if one minor event is overlooked, it will lead to many accidents and major accidents. The wind is getting stronger and the waves of the sea rise. I also remembered that this was a sign of a storm.

In the distribution and service sectors of companies, this law seems to be used as a rate of failure in business.

For example, behind a single loss, there are claims received from 29 customers, failures revealed in complaints, and behind that, there are 300 cases that employees think "has gone" but miss because there are no external complaints, that is, potential failures recognized.

 

 

I'm trying to make a problem.

[Koedo Itabashi] December 8, 2018 09:00

That's a problem.

 In the area of about 1.1 km from Ginza 1-chome to Ginza 8-chome Chuo-dori (Ginza-dori), we are replanting street trees by the end of 2018. The row of trees is about 8 meters tall, shines fresh green in spring, shades in summer, and yellow leaves in autumn. What is this tree characterized by heart-shaped leaves?

1 willow, 2 ginkgo, 3 wig, 4 poplar

 

The eleventh Chuo-ku sightseeing certification will be carried out on February 3, 2019 (Sun).

The question range is 90% from the official text and 10% for others.

So, from the topical matters, I made one problem.

It is a problem with four-selected (four-selected), marksheet method.

For the time being, you can mark all questions, so it's easy to illusion that you can do everything immediately after taking the exam.

I'm going to get it, catch it, and put it in a ston and trap.

Every time, I am splendidly immersed in the trap created by the subject.

The secretariat does not easily give correct answers to all questions.

Oh, I'm scared.

However, testing is boring even if it's too easy, and too few successful passers can hinder the operation.

If you make a problem, you will be using your wisdom to make the test more enjoyable for a long time.

I'm very happy if I find four-choice pitfalls and blurred points from the options during the exam.

Hey. I can't get it in that hand.

I'm sure you're working on the problem while smiling.

It is comfortable to talk with invisible questioners during the 90-minute test time.

You shouldn't relax until the end.

Look, there may be traps in the next question.

 

In the past, a veteran correspondent asked me to show me a notebook that I wrote over a few months to answer all questions correctly.

In that passion, I realized that I didn't work like this senior.

I thought it would be enough to have fun and participate.

From some time on, the amount to forget was overwhelmingly larger than the amount to remember.

Still, if you think something new is fun, you will come in your mind.

Let's go to the city frequently with text and sightseeing maps.

 

The answer is "Katsura" in 3.

"Flowers and storms go over, but the path for men to live ♪♪

   If you wait, you will come and the spring will come."

North Europe is hot in winter! 4 North Europe to enjoy in Chuo-ku

[Hanes] December 6, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
It was December in a flash, but are you all having fun even when it is cold?
Winter is called...
・Hot food such as pots and odens
・Things related to snow such as skis and snowmen
・Events such as Christmas and New Year
I think there are many people who think about it.

Meanwhile, what I associate is North Europe, known for its Nordic pattern and Santa's hometown!
Therefore, this time, we will introduce Scandinavian spots that can only be enjoyed in winter by country.
(※ It is intended for five Scandinavia countries in a narrow sense.)

At the National Film Archive (formerly the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo Film Center)
On November 27 (Tuesday), a special screening titled "Invitation to Swedish Films 150th Anniversary of the Establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Sweden" began.

I've been looking forward to this event for a long time, so I watched Miss Aprile (original title: Fröken April) (1958), which was screened on the first night.
It turns from the beginning that reminds me of the cold winter in Northern Europe.
Due to the cheerfulness of spring, the whole story has been mistaken for a good tempo development!
What is the story of a unique combination of a firm bank head and a young dancer?
Even though it is a movie more than half a century ago, it is a recommended work that provides universal laughter.

Other movies to be screened are also interesting!
Why don't you watch Swedish movies in a warm room when it's cold?
