　At the Monetary Museum in Nihonbashi Honishi-cho, you can display only coins here and show us free of charge.

Today, I toured the hall and saw many rare coins.

On the way back, I bought sweets that were only sold here as souvenirs for my family.

In addition, we obtained a ballpoint pen that disposes and uses old banknotes, such as "bud rice crackers and money-yaki", which can only be obtained here.

"Mr. Yukichi, a senbei smiles,"　　　

 

 

　I went to Cartier's Ginza boutique on 6-12 of Ginza 2-chome.　In Japanese, I used to write "Carche" before, but recently it is said that it is correct to write "Cartier".

I came to ask for a replacement core (Refill) for a ballpoint pen, but in the elevator, a "leopard called breadtail" welcomed me. In French, I write Panther.

　

In B1, when I replaced the core, I asked, "The color of the ink was blue, what would you do?", And made it black.

During the checkout process, there was a cold tea service in consideration of not getting bored.

It was my first time dealing at this store, so I decided to register as a customer, and the receipt I paid was an invoice, and I felt that the letterhead of Cartier JOAILLIERS was used, and it was very sophisticated.　I am more and more pleased that I have become a fan of Cartier and have a good connection.

(I was pleased to acknowledge the posting of the elevator photos and articles.)

 

 

It's rosemary sea, which exudes to "gifts and enjoy yourself".

The Genji Firefly Watching Party is also being held this year at Soke Minamoto Kichoan Ginza Main Store, a Japanese confectionery that opens a new frontier in the "Fruit Confectionery Nature Series".

Last year's viewing party was also introduced, but this year it will be from Monday, June 4 to 10 (Sun).

　

You can watch from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

※　The last day of the 10th is until 8 p.m.

It is held at the special venue on the second floor of Ginza Main Store. Admission is free.

　

This time, I was also taken care of by Watanabe Manager of Soke Genkichichoan Ginza Main Store.

　

This firefly viewing party has been held since 2004 and is the 15th this year.

Genyoshi Soke raised the fireflies eggs born during last year's viewing party in the nature of Okayama by himself.

One year later, this time, it is a genuine "Ginza-born fireflies" who have returned to their hometown Ginza as an adult.

Before the opening to the public on the first day of the event, we specially interviewed the venue.

Cross in front of the showcase on the first floor of the shop, take the elevator on the back left to the second floor.

An oversized insect cage is installed in the special venue where the lights are turned off.

You can watch fireflies that glow up close.

About 600 of them are majestic.

Fireflies, the light of life for about two weeks is flashing.

I guess Ginza once had reached such early summer.

This year's firefly light was ephemeral, strict, and very beautiful.

Last year, the number of visitors was about 1,000 in seven days.

Every year, it seems that there are many people returning from work on weekdays and couples and families on weekends.

Especially on weekends, there is a line outside the shop.

This year, it is expected to be so popular that visitors to the venue will be restricted.

　

※　This firefly viewing party is a firefly, so the exhibition period cannot be held for a long time.

　　Please enjoy it as soon as possible.

　

In line with this event, there are special events on each floor of this building.

There is a drink service here on the second floor.

We have a cold lemon drink.

On the first floor, Soke Genkichichoan will sell a limited product of Japanese sweets, "Ginza Fireflies".

In the red bean yokan that represents the dark night, it is a candy inspired by fireflies that faintly glow with white red beans.

194 yen including tax, 1,080 yen for 5 pieces, limited-time product.

At the 4th to 6th floors Japanese cuisine Ginza Shoto, Kaiseki cuisine "When fireflies dance", June limited menu, reservation required.

If you take Eitai-dori St. toward Nihonbashi Intersection, you will find Chiyodabashi in front of Showa-dori. When Eitai-dori St. was built in a large-scale reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923), it was built as a bridge across the Kaede River, which was flowing here at the time.

‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥

It is said that Tokiwagi, a Japanese confectionery, founded along the Kaede River in 1910, so it was more than 10 years before Chiyodabashi was built. He once moved the shop along Showa-dori, but then returned to his current location. The current wrapping paper is marked as "Chiyoda Hashi Tokiwaki", and you can feel the history of continuing to carve.

　Currently, the third generation, a friendly couple is taking over the shop.

▲The word "Chiyoda Hashi" is written on Tokiwaki's wrapping paper.

　Mr. Tokiwaki doesn't have any sweets lined up in the showcase. You will see several kinds of Japanese sweets placed in a heavy box, and customers will choose from them. It seems that it is a sales method that has been continued since its founding.

▲I spread it on the lower table to make it easier to take pictures.

　Until May, "Kashiwamochi", flowers are "Botan" Japanese sweets, "Mizuyokan" in June, flowers are "Ayame" sweets, etc. The pleasure of visiting the store will increase in expectations for new products in the box.

▲The lineup of this day

▲June is the season of water yokan!

‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥

This time, I would like to introduce the original Japanese sweets "Wakashi" that I purchased at the end of May. It is a very young purple sweet made from red beans, hand-made beans, and sugar.

▲The illustration of a girl drawn by printmaker Hisaya Fukuda is wonderful!

　The disappointing thing is that we use coloring (red No. 3). These tar pigments, which are prohibited from being used in food in some countries in the United States and Europe. If you don't use this, I wonder if the beautiful color of "Wakamurai" will come out.
　However, the texture and elegant sweetness that ephemeral but melting in the mouth are products that you want to taste at least once, even if you are not a Japanese confectionery fan.
You need to make a reservation for the purchase of this "Wakamurai". You can receive it on Thursday and Friday the week following the day you booked.

‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥

When you open the box, you can see a rectangular young purple confectionery spread all over it. It contains 15 pieces of geometric cut. This is an image of the shape of an old woman's kimono sleeve, as shown in the illustration drawn on a box hanging paper.

▲This shape!　How do you cut it?

　How do you make it? You can see how it is hardened into a rectangular shape of the box. The problem is how to cut it. Even though each shape is different, the volume looks the same. If you look at the cut, you can see how the blade is inserted. It may be a cut-out type made by inserting a blade into a rectangular plate, or a cut-off with a fixed piano wire stretched according to the shape to be cut. .. For that purpose, the sharp angle has a solid shape, and Umm. ...

▲A piece of "Wakapuri"

　When I went to receive the booked "Wakashi", I was surprised to ask how to do it!　As expected, the skill of a master!　Oh, I'll keep it secret.

‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥

When you purchase "Wakashi", actually look at the cut and imagine how to do it. And enjoy the elegant sweetness and texture of this sweets. I recommend sencha which is slightly darker, but it goes well with black coffee. Also, I think it is ideal as a souvenir for loved ones.

　Next time, I'm going to buy a black bun.

※"Wakamurai" does not seem to be made during the hot summer months. Please check with the store when you purchase it.

Hakutsuru Ginza Style (HAKUTSURU GINZA STYLE), who always introduces seminars, is located in the Tokyo branch office building of Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. headquartered in Kobe.

On May 28 (Monday), at the Hakutsuru Ginza Style, a sake party was held to commemorate the release of "Hakuzuru Ginza Tenku no Sake" for media officials.

　

As part of disseminating sake, Hakutsuru Sake Brewery has created “Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm” as a project to make rice on the roof of the Tokyo branch office building since 2007, and cultivated its own developed rice “Hakutsuru Nishiki”. I am working on it.

　

The sake made from "Ginza rice" grown here will be released as "Sake of Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm".

It's the sake party today.

　

Shiratsuru Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. Hakutsuru Ginza Style Fukumoto, who always takes care of the introduction of the seminar, thank you again.

　

Here, about Hakutsuru Sake Brewery's original sake rice "Hakutsuru Nishiki" ...

In order to develop excellent sake rice, the breeding of Hakutsuru Nishiki was started to elucidate the excellent characteristics of Yamada Nishiki, the best varieties of sake rice, and to develop even better sake rice.

In 1995, we started crossing the variety "Wataribune", the father of Yamada Nishiki, and the mother "Yamadabo", and registered the excellent variety as "Hakutsuru Nishiki" in 2007.

※　For other features of Hakutsuru Nishiki, please refer to the article on rice harvesting last year.

Next, Mr. Shota Takao, Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm, explained and reported on the history of Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm and this year's "Sake of Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm".

As a year of Tenku Farm from the perspective of 25-year-old Takao, he talked about the difficulties of managing the growth of rice and the fight against the "city sparrow" trying to eat the ears that grew.

And the sake rice harvested last year is about 50 kg.

The sake rice made from here is said to have been highly evaluated at the Hachioji test site.

First of all, this sake is served from Mr. Takao.

It is said that "soft and fresh taste".

　

After that, the venue was "Hakuzuru Tenku no Sake" and became a place for sake.

One glass of daiginjo's "Hakuzuru Ginza Tenku Farm Sake" was invited to the media relations invited this time (rozumari is also a media outlet).

An alternative is also available.

Along with that, it was steamed Western-style cold tea bowl. It was very delicious.
