[marche of the Sun] It's great! Just you and Pitterobianko

[TAKK...] September 14, 2016 12:00

Last year, when I went to Aomori, I learned that there was a delicious corn called "Take Kimi".

I thought, "I definitely want to eat it," but it was out of the harvest time and I got a vacuum pack.

 

It's been over a year since then.

At Tsukishima Daini Children's Park, we found "Takekimi" with skin at "marche of the Sun" held on the second weekend of every month.

"Mikimi" is a corn grown and harvested in the "Take Kogen" at an altitude of 400 to 500 meters at the foot of Mt. Iwaki, Aomori Prefecture.

 The sugar content of freshly picked "Takemi" is more than 18 degrees.
 It is a very sweet brand corn from Aomori Prefecture.

A lot of grapes are also sold.

Among them, it is very rare (for me.......I decided to buy "Pitterobianko".

The photo is a small part of it for serving, but I bought a lot of it.

It was so heavy that it was a reasonable price.

The fruit is stuffy and I eat it with skin.

The longing "Takemi" is available in Chuo-ku.......。

I can't feel it.

 

 

History of Yaesu, Edo Tokyo                          Edo Tokyo Yaesu History

[HK] September 13, 2016 14:00

When I visited Tokyo Station to see me off, I found a corner with "Edo Tokyo Yaesu History" in the underground shopping mall. 

 

On the way back from Tokyo Station, seeing a friend off, bumping into "Edo Tokyo Yaesu History" pictures' wall display in the underground shopping area was a lucky coincidence.

It is located just after entering the east exit of JR Tokyo Station on the main Avenue of Yaesu Underground Shopping Center, outer moat B1 Avenue.

 

The place is only few steps from Yaesu underground main avenue turing to Sotobori Chika 1st Street to the North Entrance.

There are plates, pictures and photographs explaining the origin of "Yaesu" on the wall.  The castle city map of the Edo period is also displayed, and it is interesting.   If you are going to Chika Yae, please drop in.

 

The display explains origin of the name "Yaesu" with instruction plate and pictures. There also is an old Edo Castle map which would surely interests you. So if you ever have a chance to visit Yaesu underground shopping area, the place is worth stopping over.

Show window in Ginza

[kimitaku] September 2, 2016 16:00

In Ginza, famous brands from all over the world open stores.

The show window of the shop is also unique.

I'd like to introduce some of them today.

It seems interesting to take a closer look at each shop.

 Each store has its corporate philosophy status.

It feels like it's clear.

The decoration of the window is after closing.

Many are done in the middle of the night.

 

 

A common grocer

[Old Rose] September 1, 2016 18:00

About a month ago, just near Kyobashi Plaza (Ginza 1-chome) 

A greengrocer namedApple "Maya Fruit" has opened.

 

I like tomatoes, but I always buy other things.

 

Recently, customers have been busy with a lot of excitement.

 

Last time, the okra was all-you-can-packed plastic bags for 100 yen.

If I bought it normally, it was worth 600 yen.

My husband and I had everything deliciously.

 

According to Maya fruit, this kind of event will be held from now on.

Although it is in Ginza, it is a very common grocery store.

Everyone, please come by all means.
