Gold and silver foil powder Asano Shoten

[Silver] June 6, 2012 15:00

I visited Asano Shoten, which handles gold leaf and gold powder from Ginza 8-chome and Namiki-dori St. On the company's website

As part of the expansion of the business of Tokyo Ginza Otaya Asano Shoten, a wholesale gold and silver foil powder manufacturing wholesaler founded in 1887, the company's precious metal products wholesale division became independent. At present, we are planning various products to offer the traditional beauty of Japan, such as elegant gold leaf crafts, oil removal paper using genuine gold leaf cast paper that has been prized as makeup paper with superior absorption since ancient times, glossy lacquer jewelry, and gold folding screens that you want to use casually. There is an introduction. The local information magazine "Ginza 15th Street" NO.179 describes the difficulties of the current president, Hiroshi Watanabe, who took over the family business with his third daughter from working at a construction company. Like old knowledge, I was kind and kindly guided around the store.

It is a product of Kinmaki-e depicting luxurious fireworks. It's wonderful.

It is said that the company's gold powder was also used to restore Hiraizumi's golden hall. Products closely related to daily life are also available. This is a compact for women. I wonder if I'll give it to my wife next time.

There was also a sticker that puts such a simple gold leaf. It's "Utsushi Kin Makie". Let'sfuji do our best!

In the store, there was literally a "gold signboardshine" at the time of its founding. The president has a deep knowledge of art, and today the "Suzuki Gotake Book / Engraving Small Product Exhibition" was held.  There are a lot of affordable items, so we recommend silver. Please come and visit us once.

Pokkin chopsticks and straps with pure gold leaf are perfect for celebration seats and easy gifts.

 

 

Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Association member store sweet food tour

[Silver] June 2, 2012 08:30

The Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Association has been creating a map of information in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of 2010 since the formation of the union in 1890. I found it stuck in my bag all the time and said, "This is a fun city walkrun! "And I started visiting the shop. Among the 38 member stores, like "Ginza Akebono", the Futaba family of Tsukuda 2-chome, said that the name of the store was decided in hope of a "new dawn of Japan" shortly after the war, It is fun to know the origin of the shop, such as 1868. The franchised stores include Ningyo-yaki Honpo Itakuraya, Eitaro Sohonpo, Judo, Bunmeido Nihonbashi, Mihara Domoto, Irifune Aoyagi, Nishi Hatchobori Aoyagi, Shiose Sohonke, Seigetsu Domoto, Tokyo Fugetsudo, and Ginza Matsuzaki store.

The good thing about raw Japanese sweets is that you can enjoy beautiful and delicious with seasonal flowers and fruits. It's a bit different. It seems that this season has Japanese iris and sweetfish.
