Founded in 1953, it is now one of the famous Ginza spots.
The bar "TARU" is called
Building in the early Showa period (how a manual elevator!) In addition, it is a shop with an atmosphere that can be said to be a Showa heritage with the interior as it was in the past.

There is no charge or service fee and there are counter seats, so there are many female customers who enjoy drinking casually, but personally, I think of it as a "shops to be taken by a longing boss" It was this "TARU".

However, such "TARU" has been closed on February 28, 2013!
I'm really sorry.

　
However, I still have some time before the store closes, so I'd like to invite my former colleagues and go there after a long absence.

If you've never been there, it's worth seeing the building and interior alone, so please come and visit us.

Recently, it is open not only at night, but also as lunch until 14:00 and cafe time until 16:30.

This is also a shop I've been thinking of going here for a long time.
A tonkatsu shop called Ginza Bairin. It's located on Ginza Kojunsha Street.

　

The store is also a retro feeling that it was founded in 1927.

There are several kinds of set meals, and the hamburger set meal costs 1400 yen.

Regular katsudon costs 980 yen, special is 1800 yen, special is 2200 yen, special hirakatsudon is 2200 yen.

However, it seems that the special is also a finkatsu.

That's why I tried a special katsudon.

The meat is soft and katsudon has a feeling of fullness, so I like it more than Oyakodon (laughs).

This day was a Saturday of Shiwasu, so it was a late lunch time, but it was too late.
The inside of the store was full of customers!

I'm going to have a set meal with fried shrimp.♪

July 25 is "Day of Shaved Ice". It seems that it comes from the place where Natsugoori, a nickname for shaved ice, is spoken with 7,2,5!

Although it is a short period from today to July 31st (Tuesday), you can enjoy shaved ice of natural water from Nikko at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

The place where natural ice made by human hands in winter is stored until the summer shipping time is called "ice room", and it is said that there were nearly 100 houses in the early Showa era. However, due to the improvement of technology, the demand for natural ice has been reduced, and it has been affected by global warming and the destruction of the natural environment, and now there are only one in Chichibu and Karuizawa and three in Nikko.

Thin sectional shaved ice that can only be made with block ice, which is called "horny ice" unique to natural ice, is a fluffy mouthfeel than it looks. It has a soft texture!

The recommendation of the shop is "Tochiotome Strawberry". Of course, the strawberry syrup of Meijiya, which I always eat, is also delicious, but this Tochiotome strawberry has a gentle taste like a jam. I see, it goes well with natural ice!

For a limited time, it is a store opening in one corner under the Depa, but please take this opportunity to try it. You may not be satisfied with "Garigari-kun" anymore (that's delicious, but laugh)!

Limited until July 31st (Tuesday).

This is "Tochiotome Strawberry" 840 yen.

 

 

 

I've read something that says, "There is no blue food in nature."
It existed.
July 18th, Behive Genki Nomoto, a ramen shop near JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station.
We started "blue ramen" only in summer.
It was widely reported in the media, so I thought it was possible to make a line.
Surprisingly, it was vacant and I put it in the shop without lined up.

The blue ramen poster says, "It looks cool and helps to eliminate summer batter.
It says "Colded ramen."
The blue identity of the soup is natural blue pigment extracted from a kind of algae Spirulina.
It seems that it is called "phycocyanine" and it has an anti-aging effect.
A long time ago, when I was a child, I made colored water with morning glory flowers and played like that.
It's colored. It's like this if the ice candy "Garigari-kun" melts.
If you think it's a color, you can also use this "phycocyanin" for Garrigari.
It seems that it is characteristic that the tongue does not turn blue even if you eat it.

For 10 minutes to order and wait, blue ramen was brought.
In the soup, ice floats and contains chicken and pig charsiew and eggs.
It seems that the noodles are homemade chire noodles made by grinding whole grain flour with a stone mortar.
And the blue soup was "salt" and was not tasteful.
The noodles and ingredients are more delicious than the same, and the appearance is certainly cool, but
After all, it is honest that blue food sensuously reduces appetite.
It's an impression. I wonder if 850 yen is a little expensive.
There were many celebrities signs (colored paper) in the store.
Why don't you stop by your neighborhood as a story?

There is a Spanish restaurant Vinuls in Ginza 2-5-17. It seems to pronounce Bunils, but I found an interesting shaved ice here.　The name was red syrup, "Summer Woman !!" Ice ☆ Senorita, the coffee was put on "Summer Man! It's ice ☆ Senyor. Both are 400 yen. Something, the melody of the flamenco of the star came to mind. "♪ I like it, but chachachachacha, I'm separated, chachachachacha ..." This is quite delicious.

　

Use shaved ice to moisten your thirst throat and ask for TAPAS next time. 500 yen per dish for karasu ring fly, stir-fried olive oil of choriso, etc. The wine is also delicious for 500 yen. It's great to hang a little while cool.　Try it once.

In addition, the map coupon of the shop says "Spain's best sparkling wine" Kava "1 cup service", which is only for the 2nd floor Shopper. Just in case. http://auxamis.com/vinuls/

 

 

I thought that the congestion of the tray had passed, so I went to Nihonbashi Takashimaya.
Oh! Mr. Takashimaya, which is undergoing renovation, has been transformed into a shopping bag. I remembered that I had received a stylish copy of DM saying "Speaking ..." "MAKE-UP is on the way until the end of this year."

If you ask the guide at the entrance, the cover of this outer wall is one week ago. The current paper bag of Takashimaya is the work of illustrator Sharn Hashimoto, and the design has been completely established, so he said, "I tried this way this time." You can feel the room of a long-established store in a fun way to play. It is a venerable building that was designated as a heavy sentence for the first time as a department store building in 2009 (2009), so I am looking forward to the renewal next year.

I was a little stupid when I was going around here and there. When I looked into the place I wanted, "Yes," I said, "I was vacant!" It's a cafe of "Kanoshojuan". Just seasonal shaved ice has just begun, and a declaration of the end of the rainy season has been issued, and we immediately made it "heavy snow (matcha)" (840 yen). This shaved ice is also "There is also heavy snow (misle), and if you have matcha heavy snowfall, it takes half of condensed milk and matcha, and it is a combination of shiratama and large grains of plump Dainagon beans. Shaved ice is not a type that melts smoothly, but claims "fixed ice".

 

Among the department stores that take a long time as you look around here and there are many such small rest areas. Your favorite resting place in the department store you go to. I'm looking forward to finding out where to go today.

In addition to "shaved ice", there is also "Matcha and famous confectionery Set" (735 yen), where you can enjoy delicious Japanese sweets from Mr.

When you leave the shop, it's a summer performance! A copy of "Hot place in Tokyo, where I left Takashimaya" was said to have become a hot topic when the Nihonbashi store fully equipped with air conditioning was completed in 1933. It's a name copy that can still be used today.
