Christmas in Ginza 2018 Animals

[Silver] Nov. 30, 2018 12:00

 In the latter half of November, the street corners of Ginza were gorgeous illuminations and windows and displays of each shop, and it was a season when the heart was excited.

Santa is coming to the city. A song that comes on a sleigh led by a reindeer strokes his ears.

Currently, Ginza is holding a fun project for 2018WinterSeason.

One of them is Window Display, which each store develops with elaborate tastes. 

Kotoshi enjoys a walk in Ginza with a feeling of healing by the animals talking to at the large windows of each store. We enjoyed strolling around the street corner of Ginza 5-chome.

From Tsukiji to Minato! The fashionable new cafe "CO-SIDE CAFE@TSUKIJI SANOKIYA"

[Hanes] Nov. 29, 2018 12:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, while walking around the town, I happened to discover a wonderful cafe just opened on November 12!
The cafe is CO-SIDE CAFE@TSUKIJI SANOKIYA, located near Minami Takahashi.

Co-side Cafe 2.jpg

It's just opened, so the inside of the store is very beautiful.
And it is a fashionable and calm space where you can feel the warmth of wood.

Co-side Cafe.jpg

At this shop, senior correspondent Asunaro and I Hanes have introduced it in the past.
You can also enjoy Tsukiji's popular sweets, Tsukiji Sanokiya's "Tunayaki".
And nicely, there is another gourmet that represents Tsukiji on the menu.
These are the collaboration products "Atsushi Yaki Tamako Sand" (300 yen) and "Cube Atsuyaki Tamako" (250 yen) with Marutake Tsukiji.

DSC_3148.JPG

This time, Marutake Tsukiji's Atsushi Yakitamako, who always gave up buying just by looking at the line, was there.
We had "Atsushi Yakitamako Sand" which was luxuriously packed.
Eat a bite and be impressed by the juicyness of Atsushi Yakitamako!
Slightly gentle spiciness (like mustard) matches the sweet Atsushi Yakitamako.
It's very easy to eat and has a sandwich that you won't get tired of.

There are plenty of drink menus, so if you come near you, enjoy Tsukiji's popular gourmet and coffee together.
Why don't you relax here?

There are still many introductions 1 ~ Come on Yamaguchikan ~

[rosemary sea] Nov. 27, 2018 09:00

It is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" statically.

IMG_20181122_131255a.jpg

Oidema Yamaguchikan is an antenna shop in a spacious space located in the center of Nihonbashi Business District.

About 4 months ago, I wrote three articles.

I would like to introduce you to you.

This time, I also took care of Mr. Akio Yanai, director of Yamaguchikan Yamaguchi Prefectural Products Association Tokyo Branch.

『』 The comments inside are the words of Director Yanai.

Then I would like to introduce some items. All prices are tax-included.

 All images can be enlarged by clicks.

Premium Jam 810 yen Setouchi jam's garden Subo Oshima-cho, Oshima-gun

The top 6 images, from top to right, caramelize grilled jam of Tokusa apples, ripe strawberry Setouchi rouge jam, island figs luxurious jam, strawberry and blueberry jam with Setouchi fragrant strawberry and blueberry, apricot and apricot seed split jam, Setouchi Marmalade Tera Terra (Teratela: For naming, see Chichi lemon 5th article for Setouchi for details.

IMG_20181122_131809 (2). jpgImage on the right: Setouchi Marmalade Tera Terra Marmalade of the island Navel with the fragrant island of Vanilla Beans

I introduced it last time. It is a very popular jam series.

"It has a very good reputation. It tastes good.

This jam shop asks farmers on the island to make seasonal items, and then makes jams.

That's why everything is small. The same product may not be available next time.

On the other hand, it is very popular because you can enjoy a variety of things.

It is a jam that does not use any additives.

・・・ Why did you introduce it for the second time? Because it is a product of Suo-Oshima-cho.

Suo-Oshima-cho ...

It is said to be the third largest island in the Seto Inland Sea.

However, as you all know, early in the morning of October 22, a large German cargo ship collided with Suo-Oshima and Oshima Ohashi, the only bridge in Honshu.

Since then, we are still suffering from water outages and traffic restrictions limited to vehicles less than 2 tons.

Shimauchi traders are suffering, and sightseeing is hindered.

IMG_20181122_131613 (2)a.jpg

Therefore, I would like to say, "Please cooperate with the support of the island," and I was introduced again as a product of Suo-Oshima-cho.

IMG_20181122_141747 (2)a.jpg

There is also "Ganbaro! Suo-Oshima Set".

"I couldn't transport goods by large trucks until now, and I couldn't supply water to the island, so I couldn't manufacture small and medium-sized enterprises on the island.

It seems that the water will be repaired at the earliest until early December.

There is no plan to reinforce the bridge yet. If the wind speed is 5m, it will also be closed.

So, let's cheer up Yamaguchi Prefecture.'

IMG_20181122_132055a.jpg

・・・ We also have items and seafood from Suo-Oshima-cho.

IMG_20181122_131846 (2)a.jpg

Same small squid (large) 391 yen Tanaka marine product Suo-Oshima-cho

This was introduced on July 30th. At that time, there was a limit of "up to 2 points per person".

"There are many people who can come to buy this."

IMG_20181122_131914_1a.jpg

Cold hijiki 540 yen Tanaka marine products

"This is the best taste in Japan. It's the best.

Right: "Hawaii in Setouchi" Suo-Oshima Guide Map

"Yamaguchi Prefecture had a lot of immigrants to Hawaii.

It seems to be in the order of Hiroshima, Okinawa, and Yamaguchi in numerical terms, but from Suo-Oshima, it seems that everyone had a hard time at first, but people who are accustomed to being poor and work well So, come back with success.

So I went second and third again, and Oshima became the Senator or the governor of the state.

At the Immigration Museum, you can check the data of immigrants, and when you put your name, you know when you went, where you came, and you know where the original house was.

During this time, there was a customer who told me about this museum, and it was unusual to go to Oshima, and it was said that the Nikkei III fourth generation will come to Japan next time.

When I explained where my grandpa's house was, I was glad that I heard good things. You should definitely have relatives.'

 

IMG_20180726_112528a.jpg

・・・ I would like to ask for your support from Rosmari, everyone, Suo-Oshima Town.

・・・ Introducing other than Suo-Oshima-cho will be made from the next time. Please look forward to it.

Items recommended by the "Nihonbashi" Preservation Society Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center-

[rosemary sea] Nov. 25, 2018 18:00

The rosemary sea is a close-up of "gifts and I enjoy myself".

 

IMG_20180806_121822a.jpgFrom Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center and the center of Nihonbashi, we provide hot information about how to enjoy the city of Nihonbashi, including ship information, information on long-established stores and famous stores, sightseeing spots, information on events and festivals, etc.

 

About one year and four months since the opening on July 23, last year. On November 19, the number of visitors reached 100,000.

The article of "100,000 Visitors Commemorative Ceremony" has been published two days ago on the 23rd (Friday / holiday).

Please take a look at it.

 

This time, I would like to introduce the products recommended by the "Nihonbashi" preservation society.

 

IMG_20180806_121759a.jpgThis time, we also took care of Mr. Shiro Yamamoto, the operation manager of the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.

At the same time, we are also taking care of Mr. Miyuki Fukushima, the secretariat of the Nihonbashi Preservation Society of Meibashi.

・・Well, I would like to introduce you to you.

 

Originally, the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center is in charge of the Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-year planning committee and the famous bridge "Nihonbashi" preservation society.

The "Nihonbashi" Preservation Society was established in 1963.

At present, Nabashi: We are engaged in activities to restore Nihonbashi by relocating the elevated expressway that crosses Nihonbashi underground.

Since 1971, we have been hosting the “Nihonbashi Bridge Washing” held on the fourth Sunday of July every year, and many other commemorative events have been held.

This time, Shijimi designer and illustrator Masae Nakajima's work of "Shijimicho" and the famous bridge "Nihonbashi" have been linked.

IMG_20181119_163803_1 (2). jpg

IMG_20181119_163803_1 (3)a.jpg

Masae Nakajima ...

Born in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture in 1975.

I have been a freelance illustrator since 2001.

2013, Local: We worked on the development of accessories using shellfish and shijimi from Lake Shinji in Matsue City.

Under the brand name "Shijimicho Made by Masae Nakajima", we have opened many stores and workshops.

IMG_20181119_163911 (2)a.jpg

Here, "Shijimicho Made by Masae Nakajima", which is sold only by the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.

Lake Shinji is located at the knee of Izumo Taisha Shrine in God of love and relationships.

An accessory that wraps and finishes this stain shell from Lake Shinji, also known for its beautiful sunset view.

It is created based on the concept of a place where Lake Shinji's Shijimi and the pattern of the famous bridge "Nihonbashi" meet and connect the skills of Matsue's culture that grew up from hand to hand.

Because it is a natural material, there are individual differences in size and shape, as well as Nihonbashi's pattern is hand-drawn with acrylic paint one by one, so there is no one point.

Colon and adorable stain shape are small but have plenty of presence.

Can be used to match your favorite clothes and Japanese clothes.

It seems that brooch uses braids (kumi strings). In addition, dark blue cloth and hemp fabric are used.

It's really different to make one by one. And it's beautiful.

The necklace consists of two chains, 60cm and 45cm in length, and can be replaced by yourself.
