The end of summer

[Yuyama also only] September 30, 2014 17:50

 Today is September 30th. It's the end of summer. From tomorrow, "Heavenly high, (horse) fertilizer fall." I'm really afraid of my appetite! If you lose your appetite, you may not be worth living. You have a good appetite because you are healthy.

 Today, for the first time in my life, I recorded a radio broadcast. This is also one of the fun roles as a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

 After that, we stopped by Kyobashi Library and went to Soraya Monaka. Ignoring the poster "Sold out during today" and inside the store. I bought Japanese sweets this month. There were only three more boxes left.

 We had lunch at O Bakanal in front of Yasuaki Elementary School. The school building entangled with ivy was under seismic construction and was covered with curtains, but energetic children are practicing athletic meet.

 We went to Cafe Paulista for after lunch. The renovation has been completed, and the retro feeling has disappeared. But I think it would be good for Ginza to be new and beautiful in anticipation of a new era. Sao Paulo's Brazilian coffee is one of the cheapest things in Ginza!

 And is Chocolate Street name changed? Seoul Cookie, filled with Hollywood star flowers, has already withdrawn.

"Ginza rules" and "Ginza filters" are strict.

 I did an errand near JR Ochanomizu Station and finally came to my home. Let's enjoy afternoon tea slowly with delicious Japanese tea.

 I'll open the lid of this month's Japanese sweets. From the upper right, Soraya Soushi, chestnut drawstring, sesame fertilizer. From the top left, Ukishima, soba bun, mizuyokan. Which one should I choose?

[Chuo-ku to enjoy with children] #03: Healing Cafe Restaurant (Nihonbonodenmacho)

[Dye] September 30, 2014 08:44

This time, we will introduce a cafe restaurant "rensa" (rensa), which is friendly to both people and body, taught by moms living in the city.

Based on the concept of "eating is connected", it seems that it is a shop that values the connection (chain) from producers who grow ingredients to customers who eat deliciously.

s07_01.JPG s07_02.JPG

Located 3 blocks southwest of Edo-dori St., it's a few minutes' walk from Kodemmacho Station on the Hibiya Line and Bakuro-Yokoyama Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line.

 

My recent problem is that "my own meal has become appropriate", but here you can eat and drink using organically grown and pesticide-free vegetables and rice, so sometimes I go and charge energy.

Perhaps because healthy ingredients are used, when you eat it, it feels like it enters the body quickly.

s07_03.jpg

Today's daily set meal is mushroom hashed beef and brown rice.

Personally, I feel affection for miso soup.

 

Also, even if you go around 16 o'clock, you can get the set meal and curry at the same price as lunch, so I'm very grateful if you lose lunch or want to have dinner early.

 

...I would like to recommend it to everyone who wants to take care of their health.

However, of course, there is also a point for "with children" (#` ・ ω ・ ')!

 

This is a nursing room in the shop, and it is a very thankful shop for children who can enter a stroller.

However, at lunchtime, even salaried workers and OLs are busy, the cafe time is quiet and everyone feels relaxed, so I'm thrilled when I bring my children However, the clerks are very kind and I enjoy it without any fuss.

If you are in trouble, go to the nursing room! You can do it, and that is safe.

The left is a nursing room, and the center is a private room for changing diapers (the right is a normal toilet).

Each of them is like this. Because the room is divided, men can use it without hesitation.

A cute child chair. There is also a picture book.

s07_07.jpg s07_08.JPG 

 

Well, because it's a great deal, another recommended point

"Nihonbashi Blend Coffee" on the menu.

s07_09.JPG s07_10.JPG

 

I'm a tea party, but the coffee here is refreshing and really delicious.

Souvenirs are also sold because they are beans (and freshly roasted) from "BROWN'S Cafe & Beans", which has an office in Nihonbashi.

viva Nihonbashi!

 

Food, shops, and clerks are all recommended for a healing cafe restaurant.

American cookies from NY ★Soul snack

[Mapo ★] September 19, 2014 09:00

A shop that opened on May 3rd on Ginza Chocolat Street, a hot topic this year.
Soul Snacks is a cookie for New York Celeb.

 

I passed in front of you on May 5th, but not very much.
I couldn't go to the front of the store, and then went on weekdays.★

 

souls2.JPG

 
There is a cookie baked 30 minutes ago.
There are times when the inside of the store is small, but only one group can enter, and the next person waits outside.
And one piece is around 500 yen! Like cookies (laughs)

 

souls1.JPG

 

It's rather large, but for the time being I bought two pieces.
Black chocolate called Ebony & Ibony and white chocolate cookies (518 yen) and
French cocoa chocolate chips (457 yen)

The inside of the shop is a nostalgic (*^^ *) with earth wind and fire.

 

souls3.JPG

 

I took it home and tried it, but no~ delicious! It's pretty delicious! It might be too delicious!
I don't like hard cookies very much, so I like this moist feeling quite a bit.
Rich and faintly raw!
The taste was satisfactory even with this amount (*^^*)

 

[Note]

※Seoul Snacks, Ilsange, Nikolashar, Green Gelato

The four stores were closed in August 2014 due to relocation expansion.

On the edge of Ginza,

[wombat] September 17, 2014 09:00

 

 Many of you know about "Shibahama" in rakugo.

 There is a shop in Ginza 8-chome where you can serve taicha-centered dishes called Shibahama with the same name.

 This shop opened in March last year.

IMG_1284.JPG  IMG_1281.JPG

 It is written with the entrance of the shop and the vaudeville characters.   Go down the stairs~~~

  When I entered the shop        I'm relieved.

   

   Then I'll show you the sea bream tea and the lunch box for lunch.

   Before that, the chef said, "Autumn is a maple sea bream, in spring.

   Enjoy the charm of the sea bream every season, such as cherry blossom bream ...

   There was a word "I want it"~~~

   Here, the food is over. I think this was a lot of lunch. Then, yeah.

Thumbnail image of IMG_1276.JPG  IMG_1277.JPG   IMG_1278.JPG  IMG_1283.JPG

 

Said the shopkeeper

 Mainly fresh fish from the ancient Shibahama and sea bream, which is said to have been favored by General Tokugawa.

 We look forward to your visit to Minana with seasonal ingredients.

Impression:

 In addition to the amount, the dashi of Taitencha has changed a little. I took it from the head and bone of the sea bream

 I'll eat it with a special walnut. Sea bream fillet of sea bream is made of cotton oil.

 The fried food is covered by charcoal fire and its fragrance is good.

       

 

  

       

 

 

 

It's Italian in Higashiginza full of reservations ★vomero

[Mapo ★] September 12, 2014 14:00

There was a phone call from a friend on the way home from the lesson, and there was a shop I wanted to visit.

It's Higashiginza, it's also a blog post, and it's okay with two replies (laughs).

 
However, on this day, I had to eat a lot at lunch, and I had to prepare rice after returning home.
We shared pasta and pizza with us, drank a glass of white wine, and returned home.♪

 
Both margherita and migratory crab tomato pasta are fierce.★
The pizza is thin, so I could eat half of it.

 

KIMG0002.JPG KIMG0003.JPG

 
This shop opened at 6 o'clock, and I went right after opening, but it has already been fully booked.
However, there seems to be only one set of customers from 9 o'clock.
I'll be able to guide you by 9 o'clock.
I didn't intend to stay for a long time, so it was a good time.♪

 

KIMG0001.JPG

 

While we were eating, several sets of customers were refused.

 

This shop is located in the back of the magazine house near Kabukiza Theater.
There are truffle specialty stores, stew shops, and so on.
This street is just like a gourmet street.

 
Pizzeria trattoria Vomero

 

 

 

Why don't you take a look at the American Meister shop?

[Mr.Chuo-ku] September 10, 2014 09:00

There is a “Rice Meister National Network” operated by the “Japan Rice Retail and Commercial Union Federation”, which is headquartered in Nihonbashi Kodenma-cho, Chuo-ku.

  

What is Rice Meister?
