Speaking of gyoza, we recommend Ginza Tenryu (Ginza 2-6-1 Chuo Ginza Building 1F), which has plenty of volume. When it comes to lunchtime, it is a shop with a constant line.

Especially recommended is gyoza rice (it may be a little more for elderly people). 80% of the people will order. The skin is thick, but it tastes crispy and sticky, and the inside is juicy. The price is reasonable and safe for Ginza. This is a recommended spot where you can feel free to drop in.

 

 

Today is Tanabata, isn't it?★

The Tanabata Sweets Fair is held in Ginza's depa basement, Mitsukoshi, Matsuya, and Matsuzakaya.

 

★Tanabata festival Warabimochi of Genkichichoan

The strips are cool and delicious~ (*^^*)
Warabi mochi is often not sweet and kinako is sweet, but it is often sweet.
Here, the rice cake itself is sweet and the kinako is not sweet.
You can cool it well and eat it smoothly (* ^^ *)

 

Add flavor with red beans and smooth rice cake with smooth rice cake.
The bamboo leaves and strips made with yokan are served.
The star shining in the night sky is expressed with gold leaf. (From the shop's website)

Genkichichoan has a Ginza main store on Ginza Street in Ginza 7-chome.
But there are also Kamakura main store and Okayama main store.
It's like a Japanese confectionery that originally originated in Okayama.

On the second floor of the Ginza Main Store, there is also a tea dormitory, Kichichoan. It's also in Ginza Matsuya.

★Tanabata shrimp cracker of Katsura Shindo

Katsura Shindo is a shrimp confectionery company in Nagoya.

Seasonal products such as Setsubun, hydrangea, Valentine's Day, Summer Festival, Hinamatsuri, etc.
I'm always looking forward to it because the design is elaborate and the taste is delicious.

The biggest one of the Tanabata shrimp crackers is the lyrics of Tanabata (* ^^ *).

　

 Shrimp rice cracker with a pinkish feeling
It has the strongest flavor of shrimp and claims shrimp, but it claims to be shrimp.
After all, I like this white soft one best!

In the coming season, besides the summer festival, shrimp crackers such as playing in the water of goldfish will be sold.

　

Katsura Shindo is located in Nihonbashi, Ginza Mitsukoshi, and Matsuya Ginza.

★Hanazono Manzu with Yoshi Nomoto Kuzuku (at the sweets fair in 2009)
My name is Tokyo famous confectionery Hanazono.
There is a main store near Hanazono-jinja Shrine in Shinjuku, and it is a long-established store that has been in business for 174 years.

It seems that "wet sweet" or "Hanazono Manzu" are classic, but it seems to be a standard thing.
At Tanabata Sweets, there is a lot of kuzu with Yoshi Nomoto Kuzu. ★I bought it because it's cute.
There was another tomato flavor, and it looked good when I bought one by one in terms of color.
I couldn't eat tomatoes, so I made them two ordinary ones (laughs).

It's delicious when cooled and eaten~
The size is just right. The crust part is plump and the inside Koshian is also good!
By the way, Kuju mochi in Kanto and Kuzu mochi in Kansai?
The manufacturing method, including the historical background, is completely different!

Hanazono Manto is located in Ginza, Mitsukoshi in Nihonbashi, and Nihonbashi Takashimaya.

Not only Japanese sweets but also Western sweets Tanabata sweets are available.
When you go to a department store, be sure to feel like Tanabata at the sweets section (* ^^ *)

 

 

 

 

It faces Eitai-dori St., the intersection of Kayabacho 1-chome.

Founded in 1952, "IMANO FRUITS FACTORY Imano Fruit Factory" is a long-established store.

Right now, "Ripe Mango Festival!" It's being held.

I'll put a TEL in the shop in the morning.

We asked for "posting on the Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog".

And the most interesting part of this fair ...

We asked you to reserve 30 "ripe mango cream puffs" only on Tuesday and Thursday.

I received permission for the interview very comfortably!

If you come to the store, the scent of fruits is spreading!

That alone refreshes your mind.

Enter the entrance and the front is a showcase of SWEETS, salads, sandwiches, cut fruits, etc.

You can also order juice, smoothies, and pay.

Immediately, the manager, Yoshihiko Konno, came to the reception! !

Willow: "It's a seasonal mango now, what is the biggest feature of this fair?"

Manager Konno: "We use ripe mangoes for all cakes, puddings, juices and smoothies."

Willow: "Speaking of mango, Miyazaki's 'Sun egg' has no chance to eat unless you're lucky ... why is it so expensive?"

Manager Konno: "Well, there is still demand ... there is also an aspect that it will happen in the relationship between supply and demand."

Willow: "Is it so different compared to apple mangoes from other countries?"

Manager Konno: "After all, the sweetness is strong, there are no extra miscellaneous flavors, and many people like it."

At "Imano Fruit Factory", juices and smoothies made on the spot using fresh fruits are also very popular.

Customers were coming one after another and ordered.

I also had "mango and passion fruit (a little grapefruit)" juice.

With fresh fruit itself, the passion fruit tightened the sweetness of mango, and it was very delicious! !

Willow: "You also have lunch sets!"

Manager Konno: "Yes, there are two types, a set of wrap sandwiches, soups and mini fruits, rye bread and soups ... Yes, this rye bread is freshly baked 'BISTRO SABLIER' on the 2nd floor, and it's a popular bread that some people come all the way waiting for this bread to be baked!"

There are wrap sandwiches, fruit sandwiches, salads and cut fruits at the bottom of the showcase.

It was sold a lot on this day, but it was being replenished more and more.

There were various jelly and pudding in the middle row, but all were sold out during the interview.

Willow: "There are delicious cakes and desserts lined up!"

Manager Konno: "Everything is handmade by the shop. I use seasonal fruits that day's best."

Willow: "Today, I would like to have '30 fire and wood limited edition' cream puffs and recommended ones."

Manager Konno: "The cream puff also contains ripe mango pulp chopped on a custard with ripe mango puree.

The roll cake is delicious because mango jam is painted between the dough and the cream!　

Oh, ripe mango pudding also sells all glass desserts using fruits ... It's coming out soon ... "

Willow: "I'm also attracted to this cherries roll cake."

Manager Konno: "The other day, I was introduced on Japanese TV's 'Omokuri PON'!" 

・・... After having explained, after having trouble ... what I purchased today ...

The best choice is "Ripe Mango Cream Cream" and the "Cherry Roll Cake" that was just on sale.

As Mr. Konno said, cream puffs are fruity and very delicious because they add a trolley feel, aroma and sweetness of ripe mango than normal custards, and also contain pulp.

The roll cake of the cherries is also filled with finely chopped cherries in pale pink cream, giving a good scent. The sweetness and juicyness of the center pulp were added, and it was settled in the stomach and stomach.

Willow: "Fruits are delicious and good for the body, and I would like to have a lot! 。」

Manager Konno: "This board just introduces what is generally proclaimed. Some people sometimes say "Please give me something that works against colds." But it's not a medicine ..."

And he was laughing.

As you can see at the bottom of the board, "Morning fruit is a price thousand gold" has been handed down from old people!

 

Mr. Konno, thank you very much for your valuable time during the busy hours of your visit.

 

Finally, the second floor of "Imano Fruit Factory" is Mr. Konno's younger brother: This is "BISTRO SABLIER", where Noboru Konno is the chef.

He was trained in France through a famous French restaurant in Tokyo.

One of the most famous is the "Furegra-don" lunch, which is limited to two days every month.

The schedule for that month will be posted on the blog on Bistro Sabrie's website.

 

Please refer to the website for address, telephone number, business hours, regular holidays, etc.

It is a tonkatsu of Hirata Ranch with its head office in Yamagata Prefecture.
The first time I ate was on a department store about four years ago.
After that, it was made in Tokyo Midtown and ate there (* ^^ *)

During this time, while walking around 6-chome in Ginza, I found Hirata Ranch!
I went there right away!

Even though it is Ginza, the lunch of Sangen pork roast wins is 1100 yen (* ^^*)
At first, I ate it with seaweed salt. This is also delicious!
But after all, I have this sweet sauce. 

I also like the Japanese flavor of the onion.
I ate it after a long time, but it's still delicious~ (*^^*)

　

Hirata Ranch has a shop in the basement of Matsuya Ginza.
