There are various specialty stores in the world, which can be surprising, but what a "toothbrush"

There was a specialty store in Ginza. The place is near the intersection of Showa-dori and Ginza Yanagi-dori St.

If I happened to take a walk, the letter "Toothbrush specialty store-" Mega Dent "" is

I've jumped into my eyes. (This kind of maniac store is easy to become a blog story)

 

By the way, when you enter the store, you can brush your teeth with colorful and various toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.

We have all the goods related to it. When I asked the clerk, the head office is located in Germany.

It is said that there are 9 stores mainly in the EU. The Ginza store opened in February 2009.

It was said that it was also sold on the Internet.

Use tools that suit you, take care of your mouth effectively and happily.

It seems that living healthy is the basis of lifestyle in Western Europe.

 

Some of the products were a little expensive, but I thought I would like to buy one to commemorate the interview.

When I was looking for it, I asked a few questions and selected a toothbrush that suits me.

Considering that you had counseling, it might have been a reasonable price.

I don't know. I think this is a service unique to specialty stores.

When you drop in nearby, it may be fun just to look at it.

The hot and humid days continue. I think that rain is still necessary during the rainy season for rich fruits, but every day, the air in the room will somehow become heavier. What are you doing in such a case? "clean", "turn on the air conditioner", and at my house, smell your favorite incense. Today, I was cut off when I thought "Oh," I immediately went to Hatoido in Ginza. When I thought it was for the first time in a while, there was a big noshi of "350 years of founding" at the entrance.　　If you visit the incense department on the second floor, it seems that it will be just 350 years since it was founded in Kyoto in 1663. It was said that he entered Tokyo in Meiji 13 (1880) to respond to the use of the palace. The founder is the 20th generation from Naozane Kumagai, and the name of Hatoido is Murotosu, famous as a Confucian scholar.　Don't be impressed with "Hey!" Today's purpose is "clean scent during the rainy season." When I asked for the recommendation, I was attracted to the name of "Sink incense" or "Shiba" and asked for "Shiba" (1680 yen). According to the instructions mentioned in the above, `` Kaba '' is one of the `` six kinds of fragrances '', `` made together with sandalwood, sinking, choko, etc., image the scent of lotus, cool summer scent ". As you know, "Six kinds of fragrances" are "black", "plum plum blossoms", "wariba", "crysanthemum", "samurai", and "deciduous leaves", and the dynasty expressed Japanese aesthetic sense and seasonal feeling with these six fragrances. It seems.

On the 1st floor, I came home looking for several postcards with seasonal pictures, and I decided to enjoy the scent immediately. It has a mild yet refreshing scent that does not have any artificial smell. I feel like I'm looking forward to it. In the rain, what is your favorite scent in a relaxing time to enjoy music and reading?

"Japanese traditional knowledge" supervised by Mr. Hatoido was also popular, and it was arranged in the incense corner on the 2nd floor. You may be fashionable for yourself or for a small present to check your fuzzy knowledge.

In the Edo period, "Kasho" was one of the annual events of the Shogunate, the same as Goshoku and hassaku. Daimyo and Hagimoto were all registered as castles, and about 20,000 sweets arranged in Edo Castle great hall were distributed by the generals. It is a ceremony to eat confectionery and wish for protection against misfortune.

Also in the "Toto Toshijiki"

―`` Celebrate the celebration of Kasho on the 16th, the castle of Moroho, and the good luck of good luck, (Making the rice cakes of the houses, those who are shimmering, preparing and eating with 16 sentences of Zen. I can't do it. "

The origin of "Kasho" is unknown, but "It was held in samurai and courts during the Muromachi period, and what lost with Yangyu on this day was purchased food with 16 Chinese "Kadada Tsuho" and offered it to the winners . It is said that "Ka" and "Tori" were pleased by the samurai because they lead to "win". What became the most popular during the Edo period was "Ieyasu prayed for victory before the battle of Mikataga Hara, picked up Kadada Tsuho and made a lucky charm, and Tokuro Okubo of retainer presented handmade confectionery." This rattan Goro Okubo (main water) is also known for developing Koishikawa Josui, which later develops into Kanda Josui at the order of Ieyasu, but it became a confectionery shop of the Shogunate utilizing the talent of confectionery making and became a confectionery shop for the Shogunate for generations. It is said that he was deeply involved. (Toraya's HP)

Since the Meiji era, Kasho's events have been abolished, but as you know, the National Japanese Confectionery Association has begun to hold events on this day as "Wagashi Day".

The photo shows Toraya's "Reproduction of Kasho confectionery delivered to the Imperial Palace at the end of the Edo period" (limited sale from June 14 to 16). 14 and 15 are reserved only. On the 16th, there was a store selling.) For some reason, the timing was not right every year, and the face-to-face meeting was over several years. I'm thrilled.

Time novels sometimes give sweets on "Kasho Day", but "20,000 confectionery in 500 tatami mats of great hall" "How many confectioneries manufactured?" I was expanding my imagination and delusions, such as "Isn't the daimyo secretly exchanged when the target sweets disappeared?" According to Toraya's website, "The general only gives confectionery by hand, and then leaves the back. Daimyo and Hagimoto took their own sweets. Until the second shogun Hidetada, the shogun gave confectionery himself, so his shoulders hurt for a few days. "

In addition to this "Kasho Confectionery 7 Kemori", "Kasho Manju" and "Kasho Steamed Yokan" are also sold at Toraya, so please take a look at the store. (It is said that there are some places that are not available depending on the store.)

Toraya was founded in Kyoto in the late Muromachi period. It is a long-established long-established store that does not need to be explained again. This time, the Toraya Ginza store opened in 1947. On the 2nd floor, there is also "Toraya Tea House" where you can enjoy tea while looking at Ginza Street, and shaved ice has begun.

If you receive lucky items's "Kasho Confectionery" from "protection against misfortune and Invitation", let's bet your luck on the lottery. I have a good feeling. ・・

Jenny's power stone bracelet

It is a natural stone shop located in Ginza 1-chome.

There are many stores in Tokyo, but it seems that there are several stores in Kansai.

Ginza was the "Ginza Main Store".

 

 　

 

The bracelet outside is about 500 yen to 1000 yen.

When I happened to pass by, I noticed a combination of my favorite colors, so I bought it.

The stone is pink, crystal, quartz eye, etc.

I don't know well, but the color is cute (* ^^ *)

 

There is also a jewelry school!

Let's go to a beginner course to make bracelets and necklaces.♪

 

If the size is small, you can buy a stone alone and process it for 525 yen.

The entrance to the Nishiginza Department near the police box at the Sukiyabashi intersection.

This is an umbrella shop next to Kitty's shop Questina, Sun Rainbow!

It's a name that contains the sun, rain, and rainbow (laughs).

 

 

 

It was very sunny when I went to Ginza the other day.

But forget to bring a parasol.

 

When I went to Questina, I stopped by.

I wanted a little short, unfoldable parasol.

 

A short umbrella can be put on a bag (* ^^*)

 

Then, such a cute pink umbrella was half price for 2,100 yen.

It's written as Bonjour, and the Paris pattern is cute.♪

 

　　

 

It seems to be useful in the season from now on! I'm glad that it can be used as a sunny rain!

From the exit toward Hatchobori on the Hibiya Line Tsukiji Station and Hatchobori toward Tsukiji Police, the greengrocer "Manei" is located in the first alley.
This area has not been damaged by air raids, and retro buildings from the early Showa era remain, but there are many large buildings, and recently many condominiums have been built.
　
Meanwhile, the wooden building, which feels like a house-use store, has an atmosphere of "old-fashioned greengrocers".
However, it is young and crisp older brothers who work hard from the morning.
The goods are fresh and cheap, and a cheerful voice saying, "XX is a bargain today!"
　
Whether it's a hot summer or a cold winter day, I'm always attracted to the cheerful voice, and at lunchtime, people working in the neighborhood drop in and are very busy.
In the evening, housewives and people returning from work, there is a cash register line outside the store.

My older brothers, who always have 3 to 4 people, say, "Is XX products delicious at this time?" Or "Is it okay with a cold?" If you take care of such things, if the elderly have heavy luggage, you can lend your hand quickly, and it feels really refreshing when you look at it.
If you say, "I got this tomato where I was born," you can't help but say, "Would you like to get it?"
　
This shop, which has been around for a long time, has become such an atmosphere since his son took over the president, and the number of stores has increased.
Other than Tsukiji, it is said that it is located in Shinkawa, Suitengu, and Hamacho, so when I asked a person who lives in Suitengu, I first asked, "Is there such a shop?" There are many healthy and comfortable children, and the goods are fresh and cheap. "
The other stores were named "Produce Manei", so it didn't seem to come right away.
　
Every Wednesday, items that are slightly different from usual and super featured items appear.
I'm attracted to the unique flyer, and my legs just turn up.

　

It is a valuable shop that makes you feel even more like shopping, not just buying things, but also talking and enjoying various things and getting energy.
I look forward to seeing you in the future!
