Medicine museum

[Shiraji] August 31, 2015 09:00

 Did you know that Nihonbashi Honmachi is said to be a "medicine town"?
It seems that Nihonbashi Honmachi was lined with drug wholesalers in the Edo period.
Speaking of which, the buildings of many pharmaceutical companies such as Takeda Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. and Astellas are still lined up.
And there is also a "medicine museum" introduced today.

https://kusuri-museum.com/intro/

 
 Although it is a "mini museum" that also serves as a PR for Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., there is not much corporate color, and from cultural things such as "history of drug invention and discovery" and "efficiency of medicine" to the latest science and technology such as "future of medicine" It is well exhibited so that elementary school students and adults can enjoy learning from them.

 I can't give a detailed introduction because photography is prohibited in the hall, but why don't you take a look at the chot when you have extra time to meet during shopping?
During the summer vacation, elementary school students who are having trouble with homework for free study should hurry! (laughs)

 

 In addition to this "medicine museum", there are many "mini museums" in Chuo Ward.
In many cases, each company has its headquarters in Chuo-ku and serves as a PR for improving the image of the company, but it is free, and even though it is a "mini museum", what is made by top companies is certainly rich.

 

 At the same time, we also recommend the gallery, which is a mini-museum.

"Lupine" on Ginza back street, which was introduced in "Ad Street Heaven" the other day.

I was told by Mr. F, the same correspondent and a senior,.

 

This time, Mr. F will introduce a coffee shop that he said, "I didn't know before."

 

I went inside Chuo-dori.

It is located on the corner of Ginza Suzuran Street and Hanatsubaki Street.

 

There is a sign in front of the store saying "Tasteing Coffee 100 yen".

 

You can choose one from two kinds of beans.

 

There are no chairs, but it's always quiet and even a moment of peace.

 

The name of the store is TORIBA.

 

There is also a biscuit.

Light-up @ Hamarikyu

[Nanako Tsukishima] August 25, 2015 09:00

Did you know that Hamarikyu is being lit up from July to October?

IMG_0137.JPGIMG_0183.JPG

It is being implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to consider its use as a guesthouse in anticipation of the Olympics, and I recently participated in the bus tour.

Walk around the garden for about 1 hour from around 18:30pm.

In the garden where the sound of insects echo, a 300-year-old pine projected in the darkness, and Ochiya on Nakajima floating in the pond of Shioiri.

All of them are surprised at the breathtaking beauty.

I couldn't believe that this was in the middle of the city.

In addition, the quiet lit up appearance was in harmony with the wonders of Shiodome's fisville group, which shines brilliantly. Let's say that it was a fusion of the 21st century and the Edo period, and it was Hamarikyu at night that I wanted to forget the time and watch forever.

Tokyo Kosoku Doro -Part 2 Visit to "Japone" ~

[Nojinya] August 22, 2015 09:00

Ginza is lined with high-end brand shops, with the appearance of foreign tourists. In particular, while walking along Marronnier Street and Chuo-dori starting from Plantan Ginza, looking at the gorgeous show windows such as Cartier and Chanel, I feel like I'm walking somewhere in Europe.

By the way, because it is such a Ginza, there are many restaurants where you can enjoy the deliciousness of all over the world regardless of whether you want to go for lunch, but today is a late lunch, so I would like to assault a super popular store in Ginza that people who know a little. The location is in "Ginza Ins 3" under Tokyo Kosoku Doro, which I previously introduced in my blog post "Tokyo Kosoku Doro-Contemporary Great Wall Surrounding Ginza" (/archive/2015/08/post-2643.html). japonais4.jpgThe name of the shop is "Japone". 。 。japonais3.jpg

I walk to the back side of a tailor, barber shop, etc. with the scent of Showa somehow. Then suddenly there was a bare counter in the hallway. 。 。 It was a shame for those who imagined French cuisine from their name! This is a B-grade gourmet, baked spaghetti shop known as "Lome Spa" for some enthusiastic fans. Today, lunch was quite late, so I didn't have to line up in the line, but it's a very popular shop with about 20 people along the clinic and Mac wall during lunchtime. japonais2.jpgAccording to the store's mouth, "Japone (Japan) boasts flavors that match the taste of Japanese people as the store name suggests. In addition, with the motto of customer-oriented and service first, we are looking forward to your visit with a variety of menus such as Japanese, Chinese, Western style and curry rice with a wide variety of menus." In addition to Spaghetti classic Napolitan, Indian (curry taste), Japone (Japanese style soy sauce flavor), Chinese soy sauce flavor, Chinese soy sauce flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, Chinese flavor, There are three sizes: regular (Namimori), jumbo (Omori), and Yokozuna (Ultra Omori). Even considering the location of Ginza, the price is quite cheap, regular 500-600 yen, and Yokozuna 750-800 yen, so long lines are always formed during normal lunchtime.

 

When I was a student, I was a "Girorian (* Note: Ramen Jiro fan)", but I ordered Stan Dart Japone without the courage like when I was young. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the classic "Japone Regular" finally came out. japonais1.jpgSpaghetti is completely different from fashionable Italian pasta, similar to yakisoba with thick noodles, onions, komatsuna, and pork snuggle up, and soy sauce flavor. Although the volume was abundant, it was delicious with "seasoning according to the taste of Japanese people" as the shop's mouth. As expected, Omori and Yokozuna will not be possible in the future, but next time I returned to work in the afternoon, thinking that I would like to try the popular menu Jariko.
