Tsukiji Market will be fully relocated to Toyosu, Koto-ku in November next year.

MMM-European wind felt in Ginza~

[Nojinya] December 30, 2015 14:00

During this time, Western Europe is a beautiful season with decorations to celebrate Christmas and New Year. I think that there are many people who usually visit Paris at the end of the year, but this year I am a little worried about terrorism. This is a story about searching for France in Chuo-ku. In Chuo-ku, there are few shops and facilities related to France, including Plantan Ginza, but today, one of them is MMM (Maison des Musées du Monde (Maison de Musées du Monde) in Ginza. I visited.MMM5.jpg

This is a cultural facility that DNP (Dainippon Printing) has been conducting as a cultural activity since 2003, providing information on museums (art galleries and museums) and displaying and selling official museum goods. Since 2013, we have been expanding our activities not only in France but also in Europe and the world, based on the concept of "living art and design around the world."

MMM2.jpg

The location is near Suzuran Street on the west side of Chuo-dori and Kojunsha Street. Nearby is Kojunsha, which was established in 1880 by Keio founder Yukichi Fukuzawa as Japan's oldest social club, and has many restaurants. "Hamasaku" from Kansai Kappo cuisine, introduced by correspondent CAM in the Snow Series (7) (/archive/2015/12/post-2972.html) on December 26, is also next to it.

MMM6.jpg[Kojun Building] ⇒The facade of Kojunsha remains as part of the building.

 

At the entrance of the glass-walled building, Akachi has a stylish design with a signature of the three letters of MMM. MMM3.jpgI'll go inside. The first and second floors are museum shops, providing information on museums in Europe, mainly in Louvre and France, as well as exhibiting and selling museum goods. It's not a very large space, but there are French museums such as Louvre (Paris), Orsée (Paris), Versailles (Paris), Luxembourg Museum (Paris), Carvee Museum (Avignon), as well as the Clai Centre (Bern), the British Museum (London), the Tate Gallery (London), and the Vienna Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Fine Arts in Vienna in the European Centre (Venna.

When you climb up to the third floor by elevator, you will be separated from the museum because of the art space, and there will be a special exhibition on the theme of graphic art and design. We were just holding the "Christmas Table Goods Special" (until December 25). I couldn't take photos, so I'm sorry that I couldn't tell the blog readers about it, but it was a relaxing exhibition that reflected the seasonal atmosphere.

Next, I will go to the MMM library on the first basement floor.

MMM1.jpg

[MMM Library (1st basement floor)] ⇒This shooting has been approved by MMM.

 

While other spaces are exhibited and sold, this is a space where you can view exhibition catalogs of museums around the world and art-related materials stored by MMM. It seems to be useful to look at local art information before actually going to Paris or Europe, such as slowly looking at materials at the table or browsing multimedia software using a personal computer.

There is Ginza Graphic Gallery (ggg) along the adjacent Kojunsha Street, but it is currently closed for renovation and is scheduled to open on April 15. MMM4.jpgThis is not limited to Europe such as France, but it is a place to disseminate graphic design, but it seems that activities in cooperation with MMM will also be carried out when reopening.

"Ginza of Shiwasu, the warmth of Kinharuyu"

[Koedo Itabashi] December 29, 2015 12:00

I went to a public bath.

I was soaked in Yuzuyu during the winter solstice and wanted to post the situation on my blog.

This winter solstice (22nd) was a weekday and I didn't leave it to me.

Since the regular holiday is Sunday and public holidays, the plan will be implemented on Saturday 26th.

There are 11 public bathhouses in Chuo-ku.

It is far from the view image of Chuo-ku, which is lined with commercial facilities, off-is buildings, and condominiums.

I am surprised that the public bath culture remains more than I imagined.

From among them, we aimed for "Konparuyu".

Being in Ginza, Hana. Founded in 1863 (Bunkyu 3) and has been continuing since the Edo period.

This was the decisive factor for my choice.

8-7-5, Ginza, Chuo-ku.

From JR Shimbashi Station, put towels and facial cleansers in a tote bag and hang around for about 5 minutes.

From Chuo-dori, which faces Hakuhinkan, is near the Imperial Palace, Kinharu Street.

Near the entrance of the street, there is a signboard for the "Kinharu Yashiki Ruins", which is the origin of the name.

In addition, the "Ginza Kinharu-dori Brick remain Monument," which conveys the history of brick streets lost in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

It's set up.

This place is the stage of the Noh Kinharu Festival, a street Noh held on August 7 every year.

There are also high-class sushi restaurants that are popular among them.

The sign of "Kinharuyu" and the large goodwill are hung, so you will be able to get there without hesitation.

Put your shoes in the shoebox and remove the wooden underfoot.

On the wall, there is a certificate of "2015, excellent sanitation facility award-winning shop".

Joint name of Chuo-ku Environmental Sanitation Association and public health center. This is an important thing.

Check the men's bath sign and go inside.

There was a stand. I can't see the other side.

Adults (12 years old or older) will pay 460 yen. Elementary school students 180 yen. 80 yen for preschoolers.

The dressing room has a high ceiling and a large fan of coffered ceiling.

This is the taste of a different space.

The locker is large and can store suits and training supplies depending on the location.

When you open the front door, you can see the magnificent red Fuji Penki picture.

After all, speaking of a public bath, it is a mountain of Fuji that draws a wide hem.

You can see the paint picture next to you on the high partition.

Mount Fuji is against the backdrop of the clear sky that embraces the sea and pine forests and sways clouds.

You can enjoy two different beautys.

Nakajima and the signature are written in the picture, and the public bath artist Morio Nakajima's

You can see that it is a work.

There are 16 karans and 16 fixed showers in the washing area.

Although it is small, the color based on white accentuates the cleanliness.

And the tile picture of red and white carp.

Many customers, come early. Ginza, the city of love. A lot of words are spoken.

Each public bath has a user's style and implicit rules that have been passed down.

Here, when you use your own tubs and chairs in the washroom and return to the dressing room.

I think I'll keep it again.

The washing area is always organized and it is a sign to use it widely.

The yellow plastic tub is made quite durable.

"Tetsu Momo" in red at the bottom. A few decades ago, "Kerolin" was the mainstream.

It was HUDSON's advertising tub for that game.

Rinse-in shampoo and body soap were provided, so bring a towel.

I think it's okay to visit. (Towels are also sold.)

Well, what is the right answer to the locker's key?

If you hang it on your right wrist, you will hear a rattle when you wash your hair.

If you look around it, if you want to attach it to your ankle, you will see the style of hanging on your left wrist.

It seems to be the most common.

A relatively vacant time zone at 16:30 on Saturday.

Soak in a bathtub at 43.3°C and feel paradise.

The dryer cost 20 yen for 3 minutes.

There were a few people who really left the store in a suit.

And conclude with bottled milk, coffee milk, or fruit milk.

No. I didn't handle it.

There are vending machines for beverages in the entrance passage.

So buy it to moisten your throat and wait for sweat on the bench.

The lady sitting next to me. After the bath, it feels good like Takuro's "Travel Inn".

"News of New Year's Holidays" was posted.

"Dec. 31 (Thursday)          From 14:00 to 20:00

  January 1 (holiday)      Morning bath from 9:00 to 12:00

  We will be closed from January 2nd (Sat) to 4th (Mon).

  We will operate normally from January 5th (Tuesday)."

  (Normal business hours are from 14:00 to 22:00.)

On New Year's Day, the "morning bath" in a public bath on the way home from new year worshipping may be a wonderful early year event.

 

 

The year-old city of Yagenbori is being held!

[Nojinya] December 28, 2015 17:00

I will go to Yagenbori (Higashinihombashi) for coverage of another article (the birthplace of Juntendo). Although Yagenbori is in the same Chuo Ward, it is a bit far from the house and it may be difficult to go on the subway, so I did not extend much so far, but this year there is a strong ally `` Community Cycle (CCC) '' It is safe because there is.

When I entered the side street to park my bicycle at the port of the Industrial Hall (A04), Japanese lantern was displayed and opened in a fair state, just before Yagenbori Fudoin. Yes, the annual payment year-end market, Dekoichi, was open. YagenToshi1.jpgOf course, this is the first time that you have come to Yagenbori's year-end market, but you can see stalls selling women's clothing, shoes, bags, etc. Yokoyamacho is also nearby and is it a local character?YagenToshi3.jpg

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the night market fair, which is opened by shutting out a car completely out of the road, is not uncommon, but in Tokyo (although I may not just know), it was very fresh. It's fun to walk around. YagenToshi2.jpgThe three-color lanterns are beautifully decorated, so when you look at them, it says "Daihonzan Kawasakidaishi". Yagenbori Fudoin is a temple of Shingon sect, so I looked into it while thinking that it might be a lineage of Mr. Kobo Daishi, and this is a Tokyo Betsuin of the Shingon sect Chizan School Daihonzan Kawasakidaishi Hirama-ji Temple, along with Meguro Fudo and Mejiro Fudo, it seems to be known as one of the three Edo Ofudos.YagenToshi7.jpg

Since I'm studying hard, the ghost skin will peel off any more, so for details, a local correspondent, Tachibana's article in December last year, "Yagenbori Toshinoichi and Odekoichi (/archive / 2014/12/post-2264.html) ".

"Why is the old city opened at this time (the origin of the name of the old city of payment)" and "Why do you sell clothing and shoes here?" I am.YagenToshi4.jpg

 

This year's old city, we are doing it until the 29th (Tuesday) this year.YagenToshi6.jpg 

[A year old city of Yagenbori Fudoin]

Venue: Higashi-Nihonbashi 2-chome (around Yagenbori Fudoin)

Due date: December 27 (Sun)-29 (Tue)

“Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour” – 2016

[Kra-san] December 28, 2015 09:00

It's almost New Year's Day. There are several Seven Lucky Gods tours in Tokyo, but I would like to introduce the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour (sponsored by the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store).

The faith in Seven Lucky Gods has been passed down to the Japanese for more than 500 years since the Muromachi period. It consists of the gods of Ebisu, the great power gods, Vaisravana, Benzaiten, Fukurokuju, Kotobuki Oigami, and Hotei. Unlike other places, Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods is made up of shrines, and it is also characterized by its shortest pilgrimage in Japan.

CK1522-201512247.jpg CK1522-201512248.jpg CK1522-201512249.jpg

"Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour" sponsored by Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store (sponsored by Nihonbashi Shichifukukai, sponsored by Chuo-ku Tourism Association, cooperation / Yamamoto-noriten, Ozu Washi) is a popular event that counts 31 times this year, and will be held from 10:30 to 14:00 (free of charge). The course (approximately 1 hour and a half) is from Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, Muromachiguchi (reception desk) to Koami Shrine (Fukurokuju, Benzaiten, the god of good luck protection against misfortune) ~ Chanogi Shrine (Fukuroson / protective god against fire outbreaks) ~ Matsushima Shrine (Vaisravana / Rooster of Katsuyoshi, Motomori Yoshihara)Benzaiten. There is no rule in the order of the course.

The reason for its popularity is that the Seven Lucky Gods are compactly organized in a traditional area called Nihonbashi, where you can travel in a short time while touching the downtown atmosphere, you can get a map of the route, and it is safe for beginners because there are staff at key points, and it is safe for beginners. If you push a stamp on the participation form at Sugimori Shrine near the goal, you can see the Ema Tenugui branch of the zodiac on the zodiac on the Motomachi branch of Mitsukoshi branch of Mitsukoshi.

Why don't you take a New Year's commemorative gift and take a stroll through Nihonbashi in New Year in hope of invitation and sound health?

 

 

If you want to eat authentic sword-shaving noodles in Ginza ~ Xi'an cuisine XI'AN Ginza store ~

[Nojinya] December 27, 2015 09:00

When it comes to Shiwasu, there are many invitations for year-end parties, and I often spend drinking at night. The day after drinking, the body is sweating and wants to emit toxins in the body, or I miss the irritating food. In such a case, when I am not fine due to the summer heat, the cold winter, etc., I will bother you at "Xi'an cuisine XI'AN" at Ginza Yanagi-dori St.Xian1.jpg

This is too crowded to form a line after 12:00 at noon, so I will round up my morning work a little early and enter the shop around 11:50. I was relieved to be able to secure a seat somehow, and immediately I would like the standard menu "Mahler's sword cut noodles and incense (Pakuchi / Koreander)".

 

~~~The mini commentary here as usual. 。 。 "Sword shaved noodles" is originally a specialty of Shanxi Province, China. Standing in front of the pot and kneaded flour using a knife shaped knives into a noodle shape (see the photo in the kitchen below) Put it directly in a boiling pot and boil it.
In addition, "Mahler" means "raway"-the spicy spicy chili, and "maway"-the pepper represented by Sichuan cuisine. It is a taste that combines two types of spicy sauce that makes your tongue numb ~~

 

In the meantime, customers will arrive more and more. The vacant seats that had just arrived are quickly buried, and a line begins to form at the entrance. This area is close to offices such as Yaesu, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho, so there are many workers-like customers, but this shop has many Chinese and foreign customers, and today the seats on both sides of me were Chinese (like those working nearby). The floor staff is mostly from China except Mr. Takeuchi, the store manager, and Chinese flutters to interact with customers. Xian2.jpgThis shop is a chain store of Toyoso Foods, which has Yakitori Kushihachichin, etc. in a group, but both Cock and Chinese people living in Japan taste the taste of taiko. It seems that many Chinese people visit here in search of the taste of their hometown.Xian4.jpg

 

"I've been waiting a lot of Mahler noodles!" A clerk who is familiar with the face will bring you the food.Xian3.jpg

[A lot of sharp sword noodles and kana] ⇒750 yenya!

 

Be armed with a paper apron and start eating. 。 。

"Yeah, I've come back!" The spirit of the body is blown out and it is rejuvenated at once. Of course, the texture of the noodles and the savory flavor of peppers, peppers, and fragrant vegetables are always delicious.

"Well, do you work hard in the afternoon! 。 。 。 Thank you, stuttering! (Thank you very much.)'

There are quite a few shops that serve spicy dishes in Tokyo, but I just want to taste the authentic "hemp taste" of pepper, so I just go to this shop in Ginza. I'm going to come again next week. 。 。

 

Added: If you would like to re-examine your sharpness with a sweet one, there is a shop (Okinawa antenna shop) opposite the shop, so how about ice cream with blue seal?
