Magazine House GINZA, BRUTUS

[Silver] August 3, 2018 12:00

Magazine house magazines and questionnaires were being conducted.

I didn't know the women's magazine called GINZA. The cover looks like a young smile of French actress Sophi Marso, and is elegant and charming. There were many articles of high quality and sophisticated content of magazines.

Previously, a special issue of Brazilian architect Oscar Niymeyer was released in the monthly "Casa Brutas", so we have released a well-received magazine as a specialized magazine.

The building of the company was also reputed to have been novel since its construction. If you look at the location and details of the company, it is the company that also released "Magazine Heibon". https://magazineworld.jp/info/company/

 

 

[Sumida River Fireworks Festival] How can I see it from a secret place in Chuo-ku?

[Hanes] August 2, 2018 18:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This is the last Sumida River Fireworks Festival in Heisei held on the 29th. Did you see it?

Previously, in this article, I introduced the Sumida River Terrace from Hamacho Park to Ryogokubashi as a secret spot.
Hamacho Park, located in Chuo-ku, is a little far from the first venue and the second venue.
Don't you worry about how much you can see from that area and how crowded it is?
For those who are considering "Let's see fireworks around Hamacho Park next year?"
I would be glad if this article was helpful.

■How you see it
The most worrisome thing is whether you can see fireworks!
It is blocked by high-rise buildings and capital heights, and "only sound can be heard."..."Is that something unique to Tokyo?
Unfortunately, you can hardly see any fireworks from promenade near Hamacho Park.
If you walk for a few minutes toward Ryogoku Bridge, there is a small spot where you can see the entire fireworks even though it is small.
(Fireworks are set up at the place indicated by the red arrow.)

Even though it is small, you can hear the sound and enjoy it more than you think!
Try to take some pictures with telephoto....It doesn't seem to be a problem to enjoy the summer atmosphere.

SFF.jpg

■Congestion and safety aspects
It has been established as a secret spot, and many people gather in a position where you can see it well.
However, it is not crowded near the venue, it is relatively easy to move and easy to see.
In addition, there is a guide, calling for securing a conductor and prohibiting the passage of bicycles.
I think it's a very good spot in terms of safety.

■Points to note
The only thing I want to keep in mind is that it is a stand-up spot.
It is not suitable for those who want to take a place, sit down and watch fireworks, so be careful.

People watching fireworks from around here have heard several voices saying, "It's enough to see this much."
Especially for those who want to enjoy fireworks in relatively vacant places, regardless of the location.
I think it's a recommended spot.

 

 

[Time-limited] Let's have a hot topic "Cool Share" in Nihonbashi!

[Hanes] August 1, 2018 18:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The event was held on July 27 in the neighboring Chiyoda-ku.
At the "Otemachi / Marunouchi / Yurakucho Summer Festival 2018 Marunouchi de Uchimizu"
Deputy Minister of the Environment Naomi Tokaichi had an interesting talk about Chuo-ku.
That is, we started a "cool share" model business in Nihonbashi (39 locations including complex facilities, post offices, and megabanks)!

(At Nihonbashi Takashimaya)

Cool Share is a project that cools down on the go without using an air conditioner at home as part of measures against global warming.
This is the first time that such a region has been united, and it is attracting attention as a place where tourists from overseas can cool down.
This time, I would like to introduce some of the cool share spots that are great for Japanese people.
(All spots are listed at the end of the article.)

■COREDO Muromachi

■Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, YUITO Nihonbashi Muromachi Nomura Building
Like COREDO Muromachi, it's nice to have a place to sit down and cool down.

CS20.jpg

■Antenna shop
There were cool share posters and stickers near the entrance, which was easy to understand.

CS0.jpg

Currently, at seven antenna shops in Nihonbashi, "Summer Vacation Oedo Nihonbashi Tour Antenna Shop stamp rally 2018" is being held.
This is until September 2nd (Sun), so why not join stamp rally while cooling during the cool share period?

CS8.jpg

Please keep cool share this summer and enjoy eco-friendly, comfortable sightseeing and shopping.

[Overview of Cool Share]
Name: “Cool Share in Nihonbashi” model business for promoting integrated regional cool share

【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.
   
s53_02.jpg s53_04.jpg
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_05.jpg s53_03.jpg
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.
