Mitsukoshi is a department store with 2 stores in Chuo-ku (Nihonbashi / Ginza).
And the lion statue at the front entrance is a symbol of Mitsukoshi.
It's a spot.

　
The statue was born in 1914 (1914), and was at Mitsukoshi Department Store.
Ousuke Hibi, the manager of the time, who is said to have laid the foundation, prepares for opening a department store.
For this reason, when I visited Europe and the United States, I ordered this "Lion statue" at U.K.
That's right. Four lion statues in Trafalgar Square in London
Is a model, and it is said that it took three years to complete.

　

By the way, this statue of the Mitsukoshi Lion is sometimes disguised.
It is not regular, but disguise when there is an event or entertainment.
I'll do it. It looks like a change of clothes for Peko in Fujiya, and when I discover it
I'm glad. When you stop by Mitsukoshi, you will see a lion statue.
Please check it out.

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

 

　

 

 

Hello. The pollen is flying around, how are you all going?

 

By the way, I love cats very much, but I'm sad, maybe I'm allergic and sneezed, so I've never kept them at the cat cafe for a while. 。 。

 

So, in fact, if you pass in front of this, you will be healed by seeing a cat dog.

That's why this time, I would like to introduce the pet salon "Char Charles Ginza" in Ginza 2-chome.

 It is on the way to Chuo-ku government office along the road between Ginza Ichi Post Office on Showa-dori and Kuroneko Yamato Building.

 

It opened 16 years ago on November 22 (Wanwan Nyan Nyan Nyan Day).

In a cozy atmosphere, I will kindly teach you a lot of things you don't understand.

And above all, the love for dogs and cats is very deep.

 

Charles' wish is that they want these children to be loved and be happier than they are here ('@`*).

 

It was said that breeders were also being done, and on the day I heard the story, there was a rare ear-breaking manchikan.

In the past, he also handled large dogs such as Great Pirenees and Barneys.

 

All of Charles's children are good.

He had a good personality, was friendly, relaxed and calm, and after a while I was on the side (* ^^*)

 

In addition, the following is done, and anyone can use it.

☆Trimming (reservation required. If your hands are empty, you can jump in.

☆Training consultation (held once a month. Reservation required.

☆Pet hotel

 

 

It would be nice to start a new life in spring soon with a cute partner.

In the case of a cat, it is OK if it is tall, and he is good at answering machine.◎

 

Charles is a reassuring shop that can help you, and it's a coincidence, the veterinary clinic and pet goods shop are close to you.

 

 

In addition, there are many people like me who can't keep it but look at it, and that's OK.

In fact, while listening to the story, many people stopped walking in front of the shop and looked into the window.

 

 

The hot spot I found in Ginza.

Please take a glimpse into it and will be healed ~ (=^ ・ ^=)

There is an antenna shop "Iwate Ginza Plaza" in Iwate Prefecture, facing Harumi-dori St., diagonally in front of Kabukiza, Ginza 5-chome.

 

The specialty product exhibition and sales corner here has no degree of fulfillment, and once you stop by, it has a charm (magic power) that you can never get out empty of hand.

 

What I purchased today is the No. 1 sales volume in January 2016, "Cuted Shoulder Bacon" (pictured above, left).

It is a very popular product that uses 100% Iwate pork from 100% good taste, good price and good volume.

In the photo above, right is "Koiwai Farm's Carefully Selected Material Curry (Koiwai Beef Curry)".

 

By the way, the second largest sales amount is Sanriku Haibao Pickle, which is said to be a treasure trove of ingredients. Sanriku Haibao pickles, which are carefully selected from abundant seafood and cooked using the taste of the ingredients. The explanation and visuals of "Sanriku Haibao pickles" seemed to be too attractive and seem to be bought today.

Nihonbashi Nagasakikan, an antenna shop in Nagasaki Prefecture, opened on Monday, March 7 on the first floor of "Urban Net Nihonbashi 2-chome Building" along Eitai-dori St.

　

In recent years, we have seen many antenna shops in Chuo-ku, but "Tokyo Class A Gourmet Vol.1 (2016 January)" "According to the fact that there are 47 antenna shops nationwide from Nihonbashi to Ginza to Tsukiji areas. This is the first time that Nagasaki Prefecture has opened an antenna shop, and it conveys the appeal of Nagasaki, not only the standard products of Nagasaki Prefecture. Dutch trading post, who was stationed in Nagasaki during the Edo period, stayed at Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi during Edo Sanfu once a year and contributed to the selection.

　

The store consists of four zones: 1 "Tourist Information", 2 "Product Sales", 3 "Light Food and Drink", and 4 "Events".

　

①In the "Tourist Information" zone, you can carefully guide you from standard tourist spots to hidden sightseeing spots that are not yet known. In addition, the shelf on the right has tourist pamphlets of the prefecture, so you can check the latest information on Nagasaki here.

　　

②In the "Product Sales" zone, not only classic products such as Castella and Champon, but also excellent products that are not yet known and hidden gems are sold in the Tokyo metropolitan area, "Nagasaki souvenirs that can only be purchased here."

　　

③In the "Event" zone, we will hold sightseeing PR, demonstration sales, and events linked to the "Light Food and Drink" zone. It seems that they are planning a fun event every season. Currently, the opening event "Touching World Heritage in Nagasaki" (March 7-21) is being held. This video introduces the "Meiji Japan's Industrial Revolution Heritage" registered in World Heritage last July and "Nagasaki Churches and Christianity-related Heritage" aiming to be registered as a World Cultural Heritage with large models (such as Gunkanjima) and powerful images.

　

④In the "Slight meal" Thorn, there is a counter seat where you can taste Nagasaki's specialty sweets, tea, sake, etc. In addition, it seems that you can compare Nagasaki's specialty sake, such as "Iki Shochu", which is said to be the birthplace of barley Shochu.

At "Nihonbashi Nagasakikan", from March 7 (Mon) to 21 (Mon./holiday), a great deal of first sale "Barban behaviour of opening celebration! "It's inside (pictured).

 

 

I went to Sasaki Shoten, which was introduced on TV last year.

　

I'm going to miss it after passing by,

I didn't know until I read the "Ginza History Walk Map".

　

Ryusei Kishida is in "Shinko Hosoku Ginza-dori"

"Tsuyabukin's Sasaki is, of course, old, every year seven herbs have a Dai-Kagura in this shop.

It was used to come to see it, and I went to Sasaki every year on the night of seven herbs. "

　

I also bought "Tsuyafukin".

It looks like a yellow towel, but it seems to be good to use it to polish wood products such as pipes from the Meiji era.

It seems that there are still orders from all over the country.

　

Sasaki Shoten is a long-established smoking equipment that was founded in 1868.

It is said that there is no one who is a pipe enthusiast.
