Feeling like traveling at the Hometown Product Center

[ukiuki] August 31, 2012 15:00

There are many antenna shops all over Japan in Chuo-ku.


While looking at the recommendations of each prefecture, there are many people who have such pleasures to think about the lush hometown from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while.


I am one of them.

There are some of my favorite antenna shops, but for some reason, "Delicious Yamagata Plaza" is a casual and easy to enter.


At the entrance of the moderately large store, the current season and the future seasonal foods are written by hand, so you feel healthy just by looking at them? Near the entrance, vegetables and fruit spaces are wide, and I feel that cells are becoming more and more active (laughs).


Today, golden peaches and pears were recommended.

This time, I purchased butter milk jam in Takahata-cho and nomu yogurt from Chokai Highland, while being moved by "Tsuyahime Genmaicha" made from rice tsuyahime.

By the way, the dinner time of Yamagata Italian "Yamagata San Dandelo" is now on the second floor, which is now famous in Ginza, is fully booked. However, it seems that there will be sales of Italian ingredients from Takahata-cho this weekend, so you may be able to get the same ingredients as the shop.


This time I felt like I traveled to Chokai Highland and Takahata-cho. The antenna shop is full of the joy of taste and discovery.♪

 

 

Sumida River Terrace Gallery (Hamacho district)

[Old Counselor] August 30, 2012 18:00

The Sumida River Terrace (Hamacho area) is one of my walking courses.

The Sumida River Terrace Gallery is located in the Hamacho area of this terrace, where you can enjoy the culture and cityscapes of the Edo period.

"Nishiki-e" and works of local elementary and junior high school graduates and current students are on display.

Here, from this "Nishiki-e", we will show you the night view of Meijiza 2 Yanagibashi in 1893.

There is a balcony in the pool on the 3rd floor of the facility, and you can enjoy the same scenery and night view from there.

By the way, I watch the night view in this balcony, especially from sunbathing in summer and hot water jacuzzi in the room in winter (because the air is clear).

In this restaurant, you can eat and drink in the balcony, and you can enjoy the scenery and night view of the ↑ while eating and drinking. (Aside from: There is also a TV in the store, so you can spend your time comfortably by yourself.)

 

 

This facility uses the residual heat of the adjacent Central Incineration Plant to supplement the energy of electricity, air conditioning, hot water supply, etc. in the hall (see figure in ↓ for details).

(Personal request/proposal to the facility)
This facility is very good with fees, facility equipment, staff handling, etc., and there are many regular users. Therefore, it may be good to make something like a card that stamps each time you use it, for example, give gifts (related to facilities and wards) to regular people or give facility use tickets every 50 times. Maybe.

 

 

 

Kobikido Bookstore

[Apricot peony] August 24, 2012 08:30

I've heard rumors since the opening of the store, but I didn't go all the time because I was afraid of getting stuck in the dotbo.
But after all, I went there.

ck1203_1208231.jpg
The shop is a used bookstore specializing in Kabuki, movies, and theater, "Kindo Bookstore".

Enter the road between Kabukiza and Bunmeido, climb the stairs next to the door of Akaneya Coffee Shop, and you will find a treasure mountain!
For those who love Kabuki, theater, and old Japanese movies, it's a place you won't get tired of hours.


Mr. Kobayashi, the owner, came to Okumura Shoten, which was behind Matsuya.
Okumura Shoten, which started with a night shop in Ginza after the war and was famous for having a rich assortment of Kabuki, classical performing arts, and theater related products, appeared in celebrities' essays, etc., but stopped by on the way back from Kabukiza I think some people may come.

Okumura Shoten mainly focused on used books, but this also has a wide selection of posters, flyers, bromides, colored paper, etc.
It takes a little courage to look for a pile of piles from the floor without being able to fit in the shelf, but just looking at the surface! If you have such a thing, you'll just forget the time.
However, I heard that there was not much smell of paper unique to old books, and if Kobayashi-san, the owner, wanted to do two things if he was independent and became free, one was incense. By burning, the other is playing music.
That's why the scent of incense drifted slightly, and the BGM flowing was Ryuichi Sakamoto.

When I told the shopkeeper Kobayashi, "I knew that it was opened here, but I had a lot of things I wanted and I was sorry for my eyes, so I didn't come until now." I often hear that story.
But you can feel free to come," he said, "and went along with a play with no other love.
Because he is relatively young, he feels a little different from the traditional image of "a used bookstore shopkeeper who is silent and difficult to handle".
When asked for a regular holiday, he said, "When I'm doing a Kabuki performance, I'm free in principle.
That's why it was hard at the time of Sarunosuke's attack (laughs), "but the details are posted on the website, so I would like you to look there.

The Confectionery ★A candy store in Ginza

[Mapo ★] August 23, 2012 08:30

Did you know that there is a candy shop on Harumi-dori St. in Ginza?

It's very old~ (*^^*)


 


Idol bromide? There was also a storm!

I was surprised that pachin gum is still being produced!

It's a magic sword, a guy who makes balloons with straws.


 


There are still quite a few sweets I had when I was a child.

Maybe I know it's not so delicious in terms of quality.

I miss it and want to eat it (laughs).


 


This is 100 yen!


 


When I visited around November last year, the regular holiday is around the moon, and the weekend is open.

I heard that it was open on Monday the other day.

The owner seems to be doing a study cram school.

We walk tech-tech at the intersection of Ginza 4-chome (Mitsukoshi side) toward Showa-dori.

On the left right after crossing the new building in Mitsukoshi★
