This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a category.

We visited Bour Mish Nihonbashi Takashimaya, a Western confectionery shop with a fragrance of France.

Mr. Kimura, Chief of the Japanese and Western Confectionery Section, Takashimaya Nihonbashi Store, took care of me.

Bour Mish departed from Shibuya in 1973 and opened the Ginza Main Store in 2004, and is a pioneer of authentic French sweets in Japan. It has been 30 years since the Nihonbashi Takashimaya store opened.

Storekeeper: There are baked sweets and raw sweets of deliciousness and beauty that fully expresses the passion and technology of Kikujiro Yoshida.

"Bour Mish" is the name of the store, which shrinks Bour Bar San Michelle, the main street of Paris. It is the root of the shopkeeper's training in Paris.

I would like to introduce the product.

For baked goods, truffle cake. It is baked with one grain of truffle chocolate inside.

This is a masterpiece that continues to win the World Food Contest Mond Selection Gold Award together with Gato O Marron. Of course, in 2016, we won the highest gold prize.

There are also many other items of Madeleine, Nouver Garrett, Financier, and Suffle. Which one should I do?

I'm lost.

This is Mr. Mura N, who is at work, food repo.

"All baked sweets are not too sweet and just right. All of them are delicious."

↑　This is a set of baked sweets that is perfect for gifts.

↑　Milfret, newly released on July 25. The fragrant dough with a mesh pattern is layered in three steps, a well-mouthed cream is sandwiched, and it is made into an unexperienced texture that is crispy. vanilla, chocolate framboises. This is also the best gift.

Here is rozumari, food repo.

"The smooth cream sandwiched in a three-layer waffle is firmly claimed. It's exactly a waffle like a millefeuille."

↑　For raw sweets, Shibust. Of the four layers, the second layer from the bottom contains apples and fresh cream sauteed with butter, and the third layer contains clay mushi boost (cream that combines custard cream, gelatin, and murang [= meringue]). Signboard products from the time of its founding.

The recipe left behind by Shibust, a famous court confectioner, was excavated and reproduced by the owner for the first time in 150 years.

↑　A mango tart. Almond cream is squeezed into shukure [= sugar] dough, baked, and dipromat [direct translation: diplomat] cream [mixed custard cream and fresh cream], mango compote, mango jelly, etc. I studded with crash jelly.

↑　A cool mango. A combination of apricot pudding and mango pudding. Concasse [= coarsely crushed] Jelly, mango, and blueberries.

In addition, Ryoka of white peach, Ryoka of melon, Ryoka of Kyoho from Yamanashi ...

White peach also has a groseiille [= red color, red carrant] decoration.

↑　Chocolate cake No. 6, chocolate crafted rabbit order.

Rosmari's second food repo, I purchased it as a family birthday cake.

"The layer of soft chocolate cream and the layer of fluffy chocolate sponge gently entangles the tongue. The plate chocolate sticks at the top and changes the texture. As a whole, it's not persistent, so you can eat a lot."

This is a "special sales booth" that uses half the space of the Chirico Lounge on the 6th floor of Tokyu Plaza.

Another correspondent has already reported it.

Exhibits such as official uniforms.　For 2020, bright dreams and hopes will expand.

Be careful when purchasing, as print patterns such as polo shirts are different between the Olympics and Paralympics.

Pin badges are your favorite hat.　When I use the strap during interviews as a correspondent, I dream that it's "cool."

"Nonohanaji" is a specialty store of wildflowers and tea flowers.

If the person facing Chuo-dori in Ginza 3-chome, Matsuya Ginza is "Omote", there is a street shop facing "Ura" in Matsuya Ginza.

It's just a short walk from Ginza Maronie Street.

I bothered you during the midsummer day, despite the open store arrangement, when I stepped into the store, it was surprisingly cool.

The store is filled with pretty wild flowers such as balloon flower, Gendou, burnet, golden lace, Kawaranadesico, and Tessen.

It seems that naturally blooming flowers are sent directly to the shop from all over the country, and "Atsumugi" (center of the photo above), which was taught by the shop, is also a wildflower.

At the entrance of the shop, balloon flower, Kawaranadesico, lotus, and moss balls are lined up coolly.

It's open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday and public holidays.

It seems that they are also shipped nationwide with wild flowers and wild grass as gifts.

When walking around Ginza, it would be a good idea to ask a shop once.

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the store.

Thank you for your understanding regarding the photography in the store. Thank you very much

　Prior to the meeting between Saigo Takamori and Kaishu Katsu, he alone with Saigo Takamori.
It was Tesshu Yamaoka that I met.

Such actions, in Saigo, "I don't need money, don't need honor,"
Those who don't need life are in trouble, but such a person
If you don't have it, you can't achieve it."
It was Shimizu's Jirocho parent who guarded himself, and there is no shortage of topics.
This year is also the 180th anniversary of the birth of Tesshu.

　What this iron boat liked was the Kimura family's Anpan.
The sign of the Ginza Main Store (Ginza 4-chome) is also Tesshu Yamaoka.

　　　　　　　　　　　　<Ginza Kimura Family>

By the way, I was a little worried about the difference between the Kimura family and the Kimuraya. 。 。
On the Kimuraya Sohonten page, the following is as follows.

　－－－－－
The "Kimura family" is the signboard "Kimura family" written by Tesshu Yamaoka.
It is said to be derived from Ginza Main Store (Ginza Kimura Family Co., Ltd.),
Used as the brand name of products for directly managed stores.

The name of the store that the founder set up in Ginza was "Kimura-ya" and later.
“Kimuraya Sohonten” is a product for supermarkets and convenience stores.
Used as a brand name.
　－－－－－
It seems to be Blanding like that.

　Anpan has been made with the same manufacturing method for more than 140 years.
Sakura Anpan is an iron plate, and you can't keep an eye on the seasonal Anpan.

This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a monument.

This is an interview with Yuko Takagi, a cogin sashimi writer and lecturer, at Ningyocho Classroom Co., Ltd., following the last time.

⑥　About classroom enrollment

"The enrollment fee is 5,000 yen, the monthly fee is 6,000 yen (both excluding consumption tax), and it is a course twice a month, every two hours. You are free to visit. Experience courses are also available at any time. The hands-on course is 2,500 yen (excluding consumption tax) with scissors, measuring instruments, and bringing writing utensils. "

"In the classroom, up to 3 works will be made in orthodox basic forms. When it's done, the work is free. From the fourth work, you can make what you want to make. You can make various original kogin sashimi goods such as tapestry, bag, table center, etc. ・・ ・ ・ You may be surprised by the ideas and sense of color of young people. I myself can learn no matter how old I am. In fact, while keeping tradition, I also create pictorial things like the fifty-three Tokaido."

⑦　About NHK Cultural Center International Exchange Festival

"It's been 30 times this year, but we're all participating. There are many European countries. Last year is Budapest, Hungary, and this year is scheduled for Antwerp, Belgium in November."

"When I go abroad, I don't take most of my works home. Since this is sold at exhibitions in Japan, my work is not so much on my hand. If the number of students is increasing in this way, I don't have much time to stabb yourself. "

⑧　About meeting with Mr. Rokusuke Ei

"The encounter with Rokusuke Ei, who died on July 7, is NHK's live broadcast variety program "Let's dream!" I wasn't the performer at that time. My brother happened to come out, so "Do you not come?" I was invited to observe the filming. There, Mr. Naga or composer Hachidai Nakamura came and got to know him. Mr. Naga often went to rural areas, so he knew about kogin sashimi. It's been about 50 years ago.

"As I said, I don't have much work on my own, so at my exhibition for nearly 10 years, I was borrowing and exhibiting my work owned by Mr. Ei. This is the Rokusuke Ei Collection (the two photos below). This is from Takashimaya Nihonbashi (creative kogin sashimi exhibition) two years ago. This photo is a photo sent by Mr. Naga before his death (upper photo). This is also my work. In a video of a certain TV station in memory of Mr. Naga, I put it on my knee without wearing this half coat. "

←"This is a pattern made for Mr. Naga's half-wearing."

⑨　About the next exhibition at Takashimaya Nihonbashi

"From Wednesday, October 19 to 25 (Tuesday), we are planning to hold a "Women's Handicraft Kogin Sashi Exhibition" at Takashimaya Nihonbashi. Please come and visit us."

⑩　About gift

"As is the case at exhibitions, we also sell works in this classroom. There are some people who sometimes come here. As a souvenir when people from rural areas return to the countryside. It's affordable and comes out of small items like bags or small wallets. With the wallet in front, it costs around 4,000 yen (pictured below). "

This is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an essence.

Today, we visited the Ningyocho Classroom of Kogin Sashi Thursday Association Co., Ltd., and talked to Mr. Hiroko Takagi, the director of Kogin Sashishi writer and lecturer.

First, the explanation of Koginzashi.

↑　Dr. Takagi. In the back, there is a piece of work.

Traditional techniques, folk art embroidery, and traditional crafts were born in the Tsugaru region of Aomori Prefecture, with unique geometric patterns made with white cotton threads on indigo (navy blue) fabric. The difference from other sashiko is to stabb odd eyes on the vertical weave.

In 1724 (Kyoho 9), the "Farmhouse Frugality Ordinance" strictly regulates farmers' work clothes. The prohibition of cotton kimono, even in the cold region of the northern country, hemp kimono was allowed. You can't lining it.

So the girl in Tsugaru thought.

Fine embroidery is applied to the shoulders, back, and arms of the hemp kimono. The idea of reversal is to thicken the fabric, enhance the heat retention effect, make it durable, and evolve it even more aesthetically.

This is the root of kogin sashimi.

In the Tsugaru region, the stray clothes were called Kogin (both small cloth and small width), so this name was given.

In addition to preserving the tradition, modern creative kogin sashimi arranged with new designs and colorful dyed yarns are also popular. I'm good at this classroom.

This is an interview with Dr. Takagi.

①　About meeting with kogin sashimi

"There was a small sting in a hotel where I happened to go to Lake Towada with my friend and stayed there. Seeing it, she asked her, "What is this?" When I heard that it was stabbing, "Well, where are you doing this?" When I heard that, I was told that no one was doing it right now in Aomori. I was told that if I was collecting it, I was in Aomori City, and I was introduced to that person, but that person was an ethnologist Chusaburo Tanaka. I've already died. When I jumped into that person and talked about the stabbing, he said, "Oh, Tokyo's Hitogane, do you try it?" And I got a small piece, and that's the beginning."

②　The story when I became a lecturer at NHK Cultural Center

"I have an acquaintance at NHK, and I asked him," Why don't you try it? " I was told. And I was bored with Saturday Sunday on a two-day weekly holiday, and I was free to say that I should do that."

③　About Yumikai (Yumikai International Art Exhibition)

"I met the chairman. So I'm going to participate when I quit my job at a general company at retirement age, and now I'm the vice president. "

④　About Ningyocho Classroom

"It's been four years ago. Until then, I had a classroom at my home in Ningyocho. I got acquainted with the building owner, "Tofu no Futaba-san." There are also 10 other classrooms in the Kanto region, Kobe, Nagoya and Shizuoka. "

⑤　About your own work

↑　53rd Nihonbashi, Tokaido

"I'm now doing it when I get an order. With such a hanten, it takes one year to calculate everything from the design to the thread dyeing until then. Each classroom also goes around, so I don't have much time to stabb yourself. There's also a lot of work. Actually, I'd like to have the Tokaido fifty-three order main. I'm doing it from a place where it's easy to do as a design. ・・ ・From orthodox ones to pictorial ones like the fifty-three, the works are wide."

・・・ I will carry it over to the next time.
