Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I saw a picture. This is an old photo of Kyobashi.

May 7, 1919 (1919) Two "Hokusaimon gates" installed at the bridge of Kyobashi to celebrate the adult ceremony (Note 1) of Emperor Showa, who was the Imperial Highness of Higashimiya (the Crown Prince), are high. I am.

Kyobashi-dori, where the streetcar passes, can be seen as a lively street where rickshaws and carts come and go in the past. In the last four years, buildings and houses were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Well, take a closer look at the pictures. There is a sign saying "Kabuto Beer" on top of the building.

I don't see kabuto beer now, but it seems to have been famous at that time. That's why I've studied a little bit about beetle, so I'll introduce you.

The origin of beer
"Kabuto Beer" was born in Handa City, Chita Peninsula, Aichi Prefecture.

Even today, about two-thirds of the red brick buildings (Note 2) of the beer factory still remain, making it a tourist spot.

It is a factory that manufactured "Kabuto Beer" from the Meiji era to the end of the Pacific War and sent it out nationwide.

In September of last year (2010), the inside of the red brick building was opened to the public.

Chita Peninsula has been flourishing in the brewing industry since ancient times, and the vinegar Mizkan (Headquarters in Handa City, Aichi Prefecture), fermented sake such as sake, miso, and tamari and other seasonings have been nurtured.

"Kabuto Beer" was launched by Marusan Beer Co., Ltd. in 1899.

We boldly challenged the four major manufacturers in the cities of Asahi (Osaka), Sapporo (Sapporo), Kirin (Yokohama), and Ebisu (Tokyo) from a local city called Handa.

He was awarded a gold medal at the Paris Expo in 1900 (1900).

Kabuto Beer, which competes with a major manufacturer, has developed elaborate advertising. In the early 20th century, it became the fifth largest market share in Japan.

Later, beer production in the red brick building was discontinued in 1943 and used as a clothing warehouse for Nakajima Aircraft Works during World War II. And even after the end of the war, there was no production of beetle.

Reprint of beer 

  On June 4, 2005, a limited number of 3,000 bottles of Kabuto Beer from the Meiji and Taisho eras were reprinted by the Red Brick Club of Handa in Chita Peninsula.

The reprinted Kabuto Beer is said to have the characteristic of Meiji beer, "reddish brown, strong taste and strong hops, aged 3 months, and stronger alcohol content." It is said that the bottle was similar to that time.

There is only one restaurant in Tokyo, but you can drink a reprinted beer.

This is the shop name "Huntoko" Cafe in Shintomicho, Chuo-ku. The name of the store "Huntoko" is taken from the Chita Peninsula, Aichi Prefecture, where the beer factory was located.

By all means, enjoy the phantom beer once!

In addition, there are various theories about the origin of the name of Kabuto Beer, such as the theory that "Kaburu", which drinks beer vigorously with the throat, has been lost, and the use of a brave "Kabuto" trademark to enhance the spirit of the Sino-Japanese War.

 (Note 1) The adult ceremony is a variety of rituals performed to socially recognize a person who has reached a certain age as a full-fledged person from a child, and was generally performed between the ages of 15 and 18.
In the aristocratic society, it is called Kakan or Genpaku, etc. In the tribal society, Eboshigi, among farmers, men celebrate the name change, and in the case of women, with iron plasma. It is said that it was called celebration, humor celebration, etc.

(Note 2) The red brick beer factory was designed by Yorinaka Tsumaki, who designed Nihonbashi. The building was registered with the national registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2004. It is said that the number of bricks is the fourth in Japan after Tokyo Station, Hokkaido Government, and Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. In addition, the bricks on the wall have traces of P51 machine gun shooting during World War II.
 

 

 

Last time, I introduced cosmetics using comet orchids called Sylvan.
Based on the story of the comet orchid, Nichirei is a flower business.
There are nichirei flowers, production and sales of comet orchids, and
I heard that you are producing and selling other orchid seeds.
Mr. Kaneko, President of Sylvan, introduced me to you.
I interviewed Mr. Shimizu, director of Nichirei Flower.
Nichirei Flower's office is located a little before Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge in Shintomi-cho.

 

The first thing that stopped my eyes was displayed on the table of the office.
It was a flower in the glass.
It's a flower called "Ever Flower".
Dried flower that lasts longer than preserved flower.
It is said that it was developed using the vacuum technology and biochemical reactions used by Hitachi in space experiment rooms.
Nichirei and Hitachi were of the same affiliated companies~!

 

 

The warranty period is one year, but what is in the director's house?
It seems that it will remain beautiful without fadeing for 20 years.
I happened to have it for a wedding celebration, but it's also called "EVER".
It can be used not only for wedding celebration but also for various celebrations.

 

As expected, big ones are expensive, but some cute ones are about 5,000 yen.

And it is the story of the comet orchid.
The comet orchids are called Odontgrossam, and they were discovered in the 19th century.
It seems that it was a rare flower that was familiar to European nobles and British royal family.
It was introduced to Japan in 1902, and Shigenobu Okuma and Tadaoki Sakai were introduced at the National Exposition.
It was in 1984 that the Western orchid project team was established in Nichirei.
In 1985, he was also exhibited at the World Orchid Conference.

I was surprised that there were many kinds of comet orchids.
Sylvan was used in cosmetics, but
My favorite in appearance was a comet orchid called "Marie Noel" Bellano "".
This variety has won the Red Ribbon Award at the 2007 World Orchid Exhibition Japan Grand Prize.

 

It's very cute with pink flowers, but I just saw them in the catalogue.
I would like to see the real thing at the World Orchid Exhibition Japan Grand Prize starting tomorrow (* ^^*)

 

The official website of the World Orn Exhibition Japan Grand Prize

 

Of course, at the World Orchid Exhibition at Tokyo Dome, not only comet orchids, but also comet orchids.
It seems that a lot of dendrobium, cymbidium and other orchids will be exhibited.
That's also something that has not bloomed and has a lot of buds. It seems that you can choose only those that are easy to grow at home.
Certainly, the flowers in full bloom have a short time to enjoy.
If you can see the process of blooming flowers, the fun will be doubled.♪
It seems that you can buy it for around 2,000 yen per share (*^^ *)

 

The lighting at Tokyo Dome is originally a facility for baseball, so it is a facility for baseball.
Cocktail rays (lighting of night games) are used.
It seems that yellow and white flowers look more beautiful than red and pink.
It was a little trivia knowledge (laughs).

 

Also, the Phalaenopsis orchid which was placed at the office is a little small and cute.
But because it was a Phalaenopsis orchid, it looked elegant and expensive.
It seems that it costs 5500 yen including shipping cost in two standings. It's good as a gift!

 

 

And the beautiful rose Priza,
I had fresh vege lettuce and radish.

 

 

　

 

Since I was a child, I had a very little connection with the soil.
Do you really do lettuce? I'm looking forward to it because I'm skeptical about it (*^^*)

 

By the way, there is a greenhouse of Comet orchids of 3,000 tsubo in Nagano, and it is said that October to May is its peak.
On the homepage, you can see a picture of a house full of comet orchids.
It seems that the director lives near him and goes to Tokyo.
While you are busy preparing for the Orchid exhibition, you can talk a lot for an hour.
He was the director of a gentle personality who loves flowers.

 It was the beginning of 1653 (2nd year) when Ozu Seizaemon Nagahiro departed from Isematsuzaka and opened a paper merchant in Temmacho, Edo University (currently the head office building).

At first it was Omotesanma and two depths, but at the end of the Edo period it was the current size.

The Ozu Historical Museum, which displays and displays the history of paper and Ozu, has been opened on the second floor of the head office.

Dolls made of paper on colored paper are finished very cute.

Seeing red and white paper umbrellas and Hina doll makes you feel relaxed.  

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　

 

 

There were various types of brushes required for Japanese paper.  

 

 

 This picture is on display at the historical museum.

It is preserved in a beautiful state of the Edo period. 

 I'm a falconer with a general.

It seems that falconry became very popular at the time of Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune.

You stood out like this and accompanied the general. 

 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　

 

It seems that the horse's back was sorted on both sides up to 180 kg of luggage (three bales of rice bales).

It seems that some people were riding if they could afford it.  

 

 It's a flight.

It seems that if you bring it to the agency's wholesaler, it was surely delivered only by location and address. 

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 

 

It is registered as Tangible Cultural Property, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

It's a locked shelf. 

 

 

It's a abacus from the Edo period.

I thought it was quite big.

   　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　  

 

 

It's a seal.

It must have been used for a long time.

Gu ticket ... proof of sale, sale ticket.

　　　　　"Gu" means selling

While the temperature is repeated, the season is suitable for spring.
You can see the peak red plums now in various places in the city.

Potted red plums are blooming in the alleys of Tsukuda Island.
As expected, the plum blossom season is long and it has been more than three weeks since it began to bloom.
After overcoming the snow the other day, it is finally in full bloom.
The sunlight shines on this red plum around 12:30 noon.
If possible, why not take a walk during the lunch break?

Orchid is famous as a well-preserved flower.
I also decorate fresh flowers on my head when I wear kimonos.
Most of the flowers are Western orchids such as Denfare, and they are recommended by flowers.
In celebration of the opening of the store, Phalaenopsis orchids decorate the storefront neatly for a long time.

 

It seems that this comet orchid (Silvan) is a rare flower that blooms for more than a month once it blooms.
Isn't there any effect as cosmetics?
Therefore, it seems that the Nichirei Group has been engaged in breeding and cultivation for many years.
Above all, it's a company that deals with food.
It is safe to have a variety of inspection know-how.

 

Cosmetic containing extract extracted from the silvan flower
It is sold in the series. 。

I got a sample of beauty essence from a correspondent Ginzo, a sample of my beauty essence.
I went to the office in Ginza 5-chome Miyuki Building for coverage!

 

　

The cosmetic package has a cuteness even in a luxurious feel.
The most nice thing is that there is a trial set for trial.
It's 2100 yen (including postage) for all types.

 

When I first used a sample of beauty essence.
This beauty essence is applied to the skin toner after washing the face and before the skin toner.
When I put it on after a bath,
The good fragrance of the orchid spreads out.
It's moist and plump enough to be surprised.

 

I always put a sheet pack after taking a bath.
After that, I have two kinds of skin toner and beauty essence.
With this beauty essence alone, you can enjoy the degree of perfection (* ^^ *)

 

Washing your face with creamy foam and refreshing feel.
I don't like getting sticky, so I don't usually use milky lotion or cream after skin toner.
It's finished with a beauty essence, but I tried it all.
Very moisturized, but not sticky feeling.
Orchid fragrance also serves as a relaxation effect.

 

If you use this cosmetics, you can use your skin condition of your current age like a orchid.
I feel like I can keep it for years (*^^*)
I was surprised that the orchids had twice the moisturizing power of hyaluronic acid!

 

The event will be held at Tokyo Dome from the 19th of this month.
This trial set was sold at the World Ran Exhibition Japan Grand Prize.
You can also get samples of the beauty essence I used for the first time at the venue.♪

 

　

In addition, the Nichirei Group also seems to have a flower section called Nichirei Flower.
It seems that flowers will be exhibited from there.
I have received an admission ticket for the Orchid exhibition~ (* ^^ *)
At the venue, you can see the real thing of this comet orchid.
I would like to take a picture. I'm really looking forward to it♪
