A long time ago, during the Showa era, the rooftop of a department store was a little amusement park.
The Ferris wheel, monorail, and mini SL are moving.
For children, such as game corners and penguin shows.
It was a fun place.
How is the rooftop of such a department store now in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi?
I went to the rooftop. The rooftop of a department store, for short, "Depaya" is right?

Since the Mitsukoshi Main Store is 7 stories high, the rooftop is on the 8th floor of the building.
Perhaps because there are many high-rise buildings around the building, there is a gap between the buildings.
It's like a "space" ..., and unexpectedly there is a sense of openness.
The first thing you'll notice is the tower tower that towers on the rooftop, a symbol of Mitsukoshi.
The mark is quite noticeable.
And there are various plants in the garden called "Chelsea Garden".
Heals the tired heart of everyday life.
In addition, there is a stone monument engraved with "Echigo-ya in Soseki". Soseki Natsume's
Echigo-ya (currently Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi) often appears in novels.
Before going to elementary school, Soseki himself went to Echigo-ya to buy yellow Hachijo and shrink surfaces.
It was written that he was brought to me.

There was a shop on the rooftop, but looking at the menu, zaru soba 315 yen.
Ramen 500 yen, Tarako pasta 500 yen, and Ninmari is a common setting.
On the day of the interview, despite the warm weather, people were sparse.
So I took a leisurely nap.
Sleep in a prime location in Tokyo without being disturbed by anyone.
I don't think there are so many places where you can do it.
I think it can be used for a date as a secret place.
Why don't you take a look at "Depaya" for the first time in a long time?




 

 

　I was invited by the recommended information on the correspondent blog and went to Hamarikyu for the first time.

 

　Adjacent to Shiodome's skyscrapers, it was incredibly quiet that the capital height was running right next to it, and it seemed that time was slowly moving here. Bolas and black dais were swimming in the pond that drew seawater.

 

 

 

The cherry blossoms were very beautiful.

 

 

 

There are many types of cherry blossoms in this garden, and many are at their best.

 

 

 

 

 

Chiyou

(Is it blooming for a minute?)

 

 

 

 

 

Kanzan

(fresh)

 

 

 

 

 

Turmeric

(fresh)

 

 

 

 

 

You can enjoy spring in the city center!

 

 

This year we are blessed with good weather and cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom.

Pink-white white Myo, Suruga Dainioi, Sendai Ya

You can enjoy 5 colors of cherry blossoms, such as green gyoiko yellow turmeric ...

If you walk along the row of cherry blossom trees on a large site, you will forget that you are in the city.

Guests invited to the Hama Goten during the Edo period look at the cherry blossoms, falconry, write waka at Nakajima's Chaya and Matsuno Chaya, look at expensive hanging scrolls and pots, and fish. You can imagine how you enjoyed it.

There are various types of village cherry blossoms, and the name is unknown ... It is quite interesting because it is different from the name I learned before.         

    　　　　　　fringed iris

         It blooms in Shinsenza Kamoba and other inconspicuous quiet places.  

           　　　　　When I tried to take a picture, I felt like I was wrapped in flowers.

                    　　　The soft leaves of the maple and small red flowers are blooming.

 　　　　Yoshino cherry tree, which bloomed a little late, is now in full bloom.

　　　　　Because the trees are large, many people looked at them a little distance.

           　　　　On the other side of the maple young leaves is the "Matsu no Chaya", but the "Matsu no Chaya" and the greenery of trees are beautiful on the surface of the water.

　　　　　It was reflected.

　It seems that the weather will be in spring today. Now, a TV announcer is talking.

　From now on, the cherry blossoms will bloom more and more beautifully.

　Yesterday, when crossing the "Oden Bridge", Ai (the name of the fish) was swimming in the "tide pond".

　Please come and think of the time of the Edo period when it was Hama Goten.

Yoshino cherry tree of Hamarikyu is beginning to fall.

But from now until the beginning of May, the cherry blossoms bloom one after another, and the cherry blossoms welcome us at any time.

Others Odorikosou Kanto Dandelion Murasakikeman Fuji button, etc., buried with flowers.

Enjoy the flowers blooming under the more beautiful blue sky as seen in the picture.

After the Meiji Restoration, the shogun's garden became a member of the Imperial Family.

From the middle of the Meiji era to the early Taisho era, a cherry blossom viewing party was held every year at Hamarikyu.

Currently, it is a "Cherry Cherry Blossom Viewing Party" at Shinjuku Gyoen.　　　　　　　　

 

　　　White

　　　It blooms on the right after crossing the "Oden Bridge" from "Nakajima no Chaya" to "Fujimiyama".

　　　It blooms a large double flower.　

 　　　I took this photo about 5 days ago, so I imagine, "Is it blooming for 7 minutes today?"

　　　"Nakanoshima" on the other side of the flower ... Reproduced "Matsu no Chaya"

　　　Why don't you stand in this wonderful view? ？ ？ ・・・

　　　　　

 　　　　Yamabuki

　　　　It is quiet in a place where you can enjoy the feeling of the mountains a little different from cherry blossoms and Hana peaches. 

 

　　　　　Button bud

　　　　It is also a seasonal word for spring in the world of Haiku.

　　　　Looking at these buds, you can feel the strength of nature and say, "What kind of flowers will bloom? ？ ・・・・」

　　　　I'm excited about my expectations.

　First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to those affected by the disaster in Great East Japan Earthquake.

Newspapers and news have reported words and actions to support people in the affected areas.

　By the way, what can we do far away from the disaster-stricken area?

Donations and excursions are important, but the special products that people in the affected area have grown over salt for many years.

I think it is also necessary to support them so that they will not be interrupted.

　Today, with that feeling, I opened an antenna shop in the Tohoku region that is opening a store in Chuo-ku.

I went around.　The first thing I visited was the Yaesu Tourist Exchange Center in Yaesu.

It was already full of customers and the inside of the store was full.　On another occasion, I went to the next Yamagata Plaza.

　At "Delicious Yamagata Plaza", more people offer special vegetables, konjac, sweets, etc.

I was looking for it.　Ginzo bought rare vegetables and other items.

 

　"Gunma-chan family" in Higashiginza.　Safety and security Gunma fresh vegetables, konjac products, and beautiful folk crafts

It was on sale.　There is also a tourist information center.

 

　"Iwate Galactic Plaza".　It is famous for its excellent exhibits and special products with content.

　"Lossing Monka Iwate!"　It's a powerful declaration.

Instead of saying "Please do your best", I said "Let's do our best!"

 

　Aomori Special Products Center in Shintomi-cho

Unfortunately, Saturday is until 15:00.　Closed on Sundays and public holidays. Let's check it out.

 

　Today, I bought a vegetable called "ice plant" at "Delicious Yamagata Plaza".

Can I see it?　There is a sparkling blisters on the surface of the leaves.

According to the guidebook, "It is said that there is an effect of suppressing neutral fats and lowering blood sugar levels."

It's written.　Well, this is the introduction corner of Ginzo's creative cuisine.

　"Ice plant" has sprout like flower buds at the center of the leaves.

The tofu was broken by hand, sprout was released, and the blisters were arranged so that they could see the blisters.

The dressing is based on the image of cherry blossoms, and the COOP plum vinegar dressing and the tarako sauce for the pasta of Company Q.

I added it.　The pasta on the right hand uses the same sauce, season the sea bream with salt and pepper, and use the stir-fried sauce.

It is "Taranome" which was used and sauteed.　　

　The pasta on the left is Bongore sauce containing clams for Restaurant Use by N.

All of them produced the coming of spring.　　Everyone, please try it.　

　　　　　"Ganbarou Tohoku" and "Ganbarou Japan"
