Locabocake, a hot topic using vegetables from Gunma Prefecture @ Gunma-chan family

[Hanes] August 24, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
As with me, I exercise with awareness of health, try to eat well-balanced meals, and so on.
Isn't there a lot of people who care about calories during a diet?
I would like to recommend this time for such people, Gunma-chan's antenna shop in Gunma Prefecture.
 
IMG_0156-.jpg
 
A senior correspondent, Mr. Rushi, introduced low-calorie “Konjac Yakisoba”.
(Article: I moved to 7-chome. Gunma Antenna Shop "Gunma-chan House"
We also deal with Rocabo products with loose carbohydrates that have been talked about now.

That's it...Collaboration cake of vegetables from Gunma prefecture and patisserie potato zier
Patisserie Potazier is the world's first vegetable sweets specialty store, and it is also the world's first vegetable sweets specialty store.
It has become a very hot topic even after a few years since it opened!
At that time, I was a high school student in Ibaraki Prefecture, and I went to a shop in Kamimeguro.
I gave up buying a cake after seeing a long line.
This time, I heard that you can eat the cake without going to Nakameguro.
I went to Gunma-chan's house right away
 
8 kinds of cakes lined up elegantly on the show window...
If vegetables are transformed into such a delicious cake, even children who are not good at vegetables can eat them.
The vegetables used in these cakes are tomatoes, komatsuna, pumpkins, beets, corn, eggplants, burdock and perilla....
Broccoli and green beans are also used in the other two kinds of cakes that were not lined up at the store this time!
Eggplants, burdock, and broccoli are particularly surprising choices, and I still care about the taste....

Meanwhile, I had eggplants, sake from Gunma Prefecture (the famous sake "Mizubasho"), flour, and baby celery.
Adult cake "SAKE Comport Fromage Blanc of Fig and Eggplant"
It is eggplant that looks faintly under the fig.
You don't notice it unless you say it, right?
It's a taste, but in the compote of the eggplant, I feel a little "eggplant?"
It's surprisingly easy to eat.

IMG_20180818_124744_556.jpg

And you can enjoy it from the side! From the top
Fig compote, eggplant compote, compote syrup jelly with sake, etc.
It is a fromage bran mousse, sake soy jocondo, and whole fig compote.
The mousse and jocondo were modest in sweetness and had an elegant taste that enhanced the goodness of the ingredients.
And the figs that are hidden and packed in the whole are very satisfying to eat.
Perfect when you want to be a little luxurious

Rather than limiting calories, low-carbohydrate not only does blood sugar rise, but also makes it harder to gain weight.
You can eat locabo cakes and eat delicious vegetables.
Isn't the 10 kinds of cakes sold at the Gunma-chan family, especially sweets that girls can't miss?
 
As an aside, there are many antenna shops in Chuo-ku, right?
Personally, I feel that this situation is similar to the Daimyo residence of the Edo period.
During the Edo period, the area around the current Tornale Nihonbashihamacho and Nihonbashihamacho Post Office was around the present Tornale Nihonbashihamacho.
There was Nakayashiki of Ueno Tatebayashi Domain (Gunma) Akimoto Tajima Morishiasa (60,000 stones).
The rough location can be confirmed from goo Map Edo (cut-picture map) Nihonbashi Kita-Uchikanda Ryogoku Hamacho statement (around Meijiza / Nihombashi Station).
The Gunma-chan family is located in Ginza, but during the Edo period, Gunma-related people lived in Chuo-ku!
Knowing such unexpected connections makes history look interesting.

The hospitality dog "Tokiwan" in Nihonbashi

[Harumi Madam] July 31, 2018 14:00

IMG05485_Burst01.jpg 20180731tokiwan.jpg

The mascot of this cute Shiba Inu. The name is "Tokiwan".

Shiba Inu-kun was born near "Tokiwa Bridge" [Kanaza Ruins].

This cute Shiba Inu seems to be a secret boom, and when I saw elementary school students hanging on school bags, I wanted the author, and when I went to buy it, it sold out!

 

I waited for more than 2 months before arrival!

I've finally got it at home. My son puts it on his backpack and carries it on his back. I often say, "Oh, cute one-chan!" 。 。

 

There are also a lot of other items, and this time I tried to buy sticky notes and clear files (^^^)♪

It seems that he is active as an invited dog or shopkeeper at a storefront such as a long-established store as a "Hospitality Dog in Nihonbashi".

It's a long-established store near Nihonbashi, and it's likely that Tokiwan will welcome you.

I will report it again when I find it.

 

★"Tokiwan" goods handling place

①Tokiwa General Service Shop

Address: 4--1-5 8th floor, Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku

②Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center

Address: 1-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku (Hashizume, Nihonbashi)

 

 

[Ginza 6-chome] Handmade baked pudding with beakers "MARLOWE"

[Ino-chan] July 31, 2018 09:00

 

It was in Tokyo too. --marLOWE's beaker pudding.

 

_DSC7672.JPG

 

This pudding, milk and eggs are authentic and very delicious.

 

As the name suggests, Marlow is a restaurant with a view of the sea in Yokosuka City.

 

Many customers use pudding, which was originally offered as a dessert menu at the main store.

In response to this request, what we started selling for take-out is now synonymous with Marlow.

However, the pudding shops selling this beaker pudding are also Hayama and Zushi.

It was only located in Kanagawa Prefecture, the same as the main store.

 

For this reason, I used to buy it exclusively for events at department stores in Tokyo, etc.

From 2017, the only permanent store outside the prefecture has appeared in GINZA SIX.

 

The other day, I chose a little special "Royal Milk Tea Pudding".

It is in the Ginza beaker made to commemorate the 1st anniversary of the opening of GINZA SIX.

 

_DSC7663.JPG

 

A familiar beaker depicts the cityscape of Ginza in the 1960s.

It was around the time the last Tokyo Olympics were held.

 

Perhaps because of your mind, Uncle Marlow is more proud than usual (perfectly because of your mind).

 

_DSC7671.JPG

 

Marlow's heat-resistant beaker can be reused, and if you bring it to the store next time, 200 yen will be returned.

※Some items that are not subject to reuse, such as limited beakers, and are returned to beakers.

Some  events are not available, so please check when using cashbacks.

 

Ginza beaker purchased a teak lid with the intention of collecting it.

Well, what shall I put in?

Tokyo Sky Tree from Harumi Bridge

[kimitaku] July 18, 2018 18:00

Cross Asashio Ohashi from Tsukishima Subway Station.

From this place overlooking the Harumi Canal to the left and the direction of Toyosu.

・・・You can see the Tokyo Sky Tree very well. ・・・

kimitaku20180718_1.JPG

 

Looking far from the canal to the left, Aioi Bridge and from Nakanoshima Island to Eitai Bridge.

There is also a dock in the foreground. Behind the canal is a storage area.

In front of Aioi Bridge is also the place where the Kaikaikan was located long ago.

・・I wondered if there was such a good view in Chuo Ward. ・・

kimitaku20180718_2.JPG

 

On a clear day, the silhouette of the Sky Tree is particularly beautiful.

Up to Harumi Bridge

From Tsukishima Station on the subway, you can cross the Asashio Ohashi Bridge in a 15-minute walk.

As you walk, you can see and hide these bridges and skyscrapers.

You can enjoy walking. High-rise apartment in Tsukuda, St. Luke's International Hospital
