Silver bra

[Nathaly] April 30, 2013 09:00

"Silver?" It's a word that anyone can now understand, but it's only recently that I knew that the etymology of silver bra is "drinking Brazilian coffee in Ginza". 。

According to my research, drinking Brazilian coffee at Cafe Paulista, the oldest coffee shop in Japan that still exists in Ginza 8-chome, seems to have triggered me to say "silver Bra" ... I actually went there!

The coffee shop is located along Chuo-dori and you can find it right away. It's Ginza 8-chome, near Shimbashi. There was advance information about the oldest existing coffee shop in Japan, so I thought it was a very old and hard to enter, but there is a large round signboard and you can see the inside from outside. There was only Ginza, so I waited a little because it was full. While waiting, I was observing the inside of the store, and there were photos of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I heard you went to a coffee shop here. After a while, I was taken to a vacant seat. Then, the clerk told me in a shout, "Actually, this is the seat where John Lennon sat," and I was a little excited!

The fully booked coffee shop in Ginza was a calm and calm coffee shop with an atmosphere where you could hear John Lennon's music when you listen while drinking Brazilian coffee, despite some liveliness.

When I made my account on the way home, I got a silver bra certificate.

"You prove today that you enjoyed the silver bra (walking along Ginza Street and going only to Café Paulista for Brazilian coffee)."

I'm glad if you can prove a silver bra (laughs) Also, the back side is a stamp card (laughs).
It's a drink full service with 10 points. When I went to Ginza, I would like to go only for Brazilian coffee again. Everyone, please do a silver bra!  

 

To a taiyaki shop with a line

[Ryokichi] April 26, 2013 09:15

IMG_0771.JPGI finished my work a little early and went home after shopping a little late evening in Ningyocho.


At that time, I suddenly stopped by Yanagiya.


It is a famous taiyaki restaurant located just after entering amazake Yokocho from Ningyocho Station.


This is a popular shop with the image of a long line, but it is sometimes vacant in the evening near closing. This is the case. I was blessed with such good luck on this day, so I lined up in a row waiting for about three people. My husband is working hard and carefully baking the taiyaki. The previous person's account was over in no time, and I bought the family's taiyaki without waiting for five minutes. After that, after me, it ended with the second person.


In addition, it is recommended to eat as soon as possible. I ate immediately after I hurried home. The bean paste is not too sweet, the surface is slightly stiff, and the texture is good. It's delicious. I'm satisfied. When will you be able to eat this time?


In addition, when it is very crowded, buy the ice cream. This is quite good. In the middle, they don't line up, and in front, you can buy it without waiting.

 

 

Commemorating the closing "Reprint Desert Fair"-Hotel Seiyo Ginza

1. April 24, 2013 09:00

Hotel Seiyo Ginza, which has been closed for more than a month, is crowded with familiar people who are willing to close the event and customers who say "sometimes". At the bar and lounge "Preluded" on the 2nd floor, popular desserts from the past at "Repetowa" and "Atore" are gathered and the "Reprint Desert Fair" is held from April to May. One afternoon, when Golden Week approached, I came to Prelude with my friend. It's almost full! It is said that the number of customers has continued to increase since the announcement of "closed". I decided to have a menu for April immediately.

100_1028.JPG100_1029.JPG

Left "Pannacotta Red Fruit and Passion Fruit Scent"

Right "Scotch whiskey flavor angel Sabaran".

2,310 yen with coffee or tea. In April, there are three other types of "Suffle cardamon ice cream with ginger".

Pannacotta is a popular menu of Italian cuisine "Atore", and "Sabaran" is said to have been arranged with Scottish whiskey in connection with the closing movie "Angel Separation" of the movie theater "Theatre Cinema Ginza" in the same building. "Suffle of ginger" (3,003 yen) is one of the most popular dishes among preludes. Needless to pull the prust "Madleine", the taste is tied to memory and difficult to understand. After the theater at Theatre Ginza, Pannacotta I received many times without squeezing the excitement of the play, and again, "Is it the last time to taste it? I think it's a special taste. It was 10 years ago that the fresh thing was so impressed by the blueberries that did not turn so much? ・・

The three types of May are "Nostalgic Tayramice", "Matcha Cream Breweries", and "Pistachcho-flavored Barbara".

 

You can spend a moment of strolling around Ginza, such as the afternoon of a vacant GW, "soak in memories" or "once in the seed of story". I recommend it.

For those who want to eat little by little, the mini-mini set is great.

A. Mini Oyakodon and Mini Kakesoba

B. Mini Katsudon and Mini Kakesoba

C. Mini Anako Tenji-don and Mini Kakesoba

All of them cost 700 yen (*^^*)

There was also a mini salad (Wakame no)♪


NCM_0028.JPG NCM_0030.JPG


On this day, I thought about the calories and made it oyakodon.

I enjoyed the two flavors and became full.


It is a soba restaurant with a history of opening in the Edo period.

It was a shop where even one of the women could enter.

Lunch at the lounge in Ginza Maxim de Paris

[Mapo ★] April 21, 2013 09:00

Maxim de Paris in Ginza

There is a restaurant on the second basement floor and a lounge on the first basement floor.

Afternoon Tea lunch in the lounge is reasonable compared to restaurants.


Choose appetizers, main and desserts, and 2800 yen with a drink!

If you make the main juicy hamburger, the +500 will be 3300 yen.


It's a lunch called La Tour Dole.


The appetizer is Lorraine-style quiche and salad, and the main is juicy Bergh

This juicy Bergh is topped with foegras!

It's really small, but it's delicious (*^^*)


 



And dessert is served with custard prin and vanilla ice cream.

Speaking of Maxim, it's a strawberry millefeuille.

I had it during the birthday course.


 


And it's a glass wine, Chateau Tilleray's 2005.

Last dinner was 1,260 yen for 2006.

Lunch time special price is 840 yen!

Perfect for both hamburgers and kish (*^^*)


 



The lounge is also the same as the restaurant below.

The staff's service is always good here.

I was able to take a picture.♪


However, the service tax is added 10% to this (^^;



In the next seat, there was a couple and his parents, and it seemed like a face-to-face meeting.

If you live in Tokyo, you can meet with Maxim~♪

When I went to France in October, I definitely want to go to the main store in Paris!
