I heard from a worker that it blooms on the weekend. !


It is said that it was made by crossing Amagi Yoshino and Kanhizakura. A variety that is resistant to cold and heat. It seems that the best time to see it is too long.

In 2015, actor Takashi Sasano became a movie of the story of the birth of sunlight cherry blossoms. Why don't you take a look at it while shopping in Ginza?

[Mapo ★] March 20, 2018 09:00

When I took a test for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification at a hotel here.
I received a discount ticket for the restaurant.

 

And the other day, I went to a sweets buffet with 4 girls.
It's Fiore on the first floor.
It seems that the buffet is being held all day long.
Breakfast buffet, lunch buffet,
There are sweets buffets and dinner buffets.

Nescafe x Rikuru ~ Sleep Cafe ~

[Tokyo Dumbo] March 19, 2018 14:00

Nestle Japan Co., Ltd. and Rirakuru Co., Ltd. are holding a limited-time event ~ Sleep Cafe ~ at "CHAIRS" at Ginza 8-chome on the sleep day on March 18th.

This is the third time that a sleep cafe has been held at Ginza "CHAIRS" as in September. In this interview, Mr. Onishi, the on-site staff, told me a lot.

 

Sleep days include "World Sleep Day (March 18)" set by the World Association of Sleep Medicine and Japan's unique September 3, and Nestle holds an event according to that period. It seems to be doing.

 

There are two courses where you can simulate "night sleep" and "daytime nap", and the "sleep" course is a "premium mattress" that can perform comfortable treatment jointly developed by Riraku and France Bed Co., Ltd. You can receive the best service provided by the training trainer that is proud of "Rirakuru", which has trained 12,000 therapists nationwide.

 

You can enjoy caffeineless coffee before sleep for massage and coffee (with caffeine) after getting up. It is said that he proposes a lifestyle that separates caffeineless coffee and coffee (with caffeine) according to the scene.

 


I went around 11 o'clock on Sunday, but because of its popularity, Tokyo Dumbo managed to apply for the last frame of the "sleep" course.

 

In a 30-minute massage, I turned on my shoulders and back and asked for my neck, and then in a sleep time of 1 hour and 30 minutes, I became a slept from the middle of a pleasant massage and became a slept at sleep time.

 

Coffee. JPGBottle. JPG

 

The coffee I received is Nescafe Gold Blend in a bottle, but it was a type that puts crema (bubble) on the handy ice cream server scheduled to be released in the future, so it was very good to taste.

The "Nap" course proposes a new nap style called "coffee-nap" that provides coffee (with caffeine) before nap, and drinks coffee with caffeine and then only take a nap.

 Guide. JPG

 

The "sleep" course is 1,000 yen and the "sleep" course is 200 yen, which is reasonable.

Why don't you take a break in Ginza and see it?

What will happen to business if you don't have a scale in Edo period?

[Shubo's Ten Hands] March 15, 2018 09:00

Zhubo's ten hands 3.jpgDSCN1035.JPGThe ruins of Edo Libraza

Libra is a business establishment created by Edo shogunate to unify the standards for scales.

 

It continued from 1653 (1653) to 1875 (1875). Edo was manufactured, distributed and repaired by the guardian family, Kyoto was manufactured, distributed and repaired by the Shinto family, and the guardian was in charge of 33 eastern countries.

 

In the eastern country, they couldn't use, manufacture, or give their surnames other than the guardian. It was so protected by the Shogunate.

 

The Great Fire of the Meiryaku era (1657) occurred and as many as 100,000 people died, and the central keep of Edo Castle was burned down. The guardian Libra Factory was also burned down, and the wood of the material was burned down. There must have been a lot of orders that could not be handled among them. The guardian said that the wood of the material (a tree that is sufficiently dried and not distorted or deformed) was stockpiled in the suburbs of Edo in preparation for a fire. If you are prepared, you don't have to worry about it.

It's right next to Nihonbashi Takashimaya. Please come along with your purchase.

 

 

The residence of Shigenobu Okuma is a restaurant's new pleasure.

[Shubo's Ten Hands] March 11, 2018 18:00

In May 1869, Shigenobu Okuma worshiped the mansion of the Hagimoto Togawa family in Tsukiji and Honganji (the front entrance was near the out-of-market market) facing the street (Shin-ohashi-dori St.). I bought it. There is also a document with that.
In Okuma's mansion, many people who took the lead of the Meiji government gathered (Ito Hirobumi, Kaoru Inoue, Tomoatsu Godai, etc.). It was as if it were a night.
It is one of Japan's leading restaurants and is a selection venue for the Akutagawa Prize and Naoki Prize.

Here on the way back from shopping at Tsukiji Market. ⁉。 Surprise

Tsumugi Oshima "Eiko's knitting exhibition" to be held on March 12 at St. Luke's Gallery.

[Sakura is good] March 9, 2018 14:00

Did you know that there is a first gallery in the space in front of the restaurant on the first floor of the main building of St. Luke's International Hospital? "Eiko's knitting clothing exhibition" will be held from March 12 (Mon) to March 17 (Sat) from 10:00 to 17:00. ※It will be held until 14:00 on the 17th.

Using authentic Amami Oshima Tsumugi woven silk thread and Amami muddy silk thread, we hand-knit original works in the image of Amami's nature. I would be happy if you could feel the gentle comfort of 100% silk thread hats, shawls, boleros, gloves, accessories, etc.

thumb_primary.jpg20180206134104-0001-1024x691.jpg

In addition to St. Luke's Gallery, Eiko Mori has held solo exhibitions in New York and other places in addition to Ginza, Asakusa, Kawagoe, Kagurazaka, and Amami Oshima Island in Japan, and overseas in New York, due to a relationship living in New York.

Aiko is from Kasari-cho, Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture. On September 16, 2017, at Amami Park on Amami Oshima Island, he held "Eiko's knitting and fashion show" in his hometown, which had been a dream for many years. A friend who came from Tokyo and a friend from Amami Oshima Island took on the model on the day, and it was very exciting with the collaboration of Shima-uta.

I would like to introduce the work of Aiko.

DSC_0038.jpg160712_2144-01.jpgDSC_0010.jpg

For the lady, the wedding dress was made for 100% silk in time for the wedding. Next to the right is the dress of her mother, Aiko. It seems that the dream was to wear Aiko's handmade clothes with them.

2016 The 24th Yuzawaya Creative Grand Prize Exhibition Hand-knitting Category Bronze Award in 2016, and the 23rd Yuzawaya Creative Grand Prize Exhibition Knit Category Grand Prize in 2014.

Aiko's parents' house was the origin of Oshima Tsumugi in Kasari-cho. I grew up watching the process of weaving Oshima Tsumugi from an early age. I lived abroad with Venezuela New York on my husband's transfer.

After returning to Japan, I awakened to my identity, worked on silk threads by dyeing threads with muddy dyeing Amami Oshima Tsumugi, started with thread making, and knitted by hand. It is said that you feel the happiest when you are knitting. If you like the work, you seem to have a desire to wear it every day without regret, rather than taking care of it.

It's 100% silk and one item. I don't have the same product. Since several threads of different colors are twisted to make a single thread, you can enjoy it just by seeing the work in various colors.

It is a place where Saigo Takamori wanted to build a new house for Aikana and Kikujiro, designed by himself and walked around places where typhoons could not hit. It is Designated Cultural Property of the prefecture, but since it is privately owned, I made a reservation in advance. I was sorry that Mr. Shoichiro Ryu, the owner, welcomed me and told me carefully.

Blessed with Aikana and two children (Kikujiro and Kikukusa) in Tatsugo-cho, I thought that I could have had the happiest time in my life, while slowly watching the items related to Saigo Takamori. I was there.

DSC_1149.jpg DSC_1151.jpg

The second wife Aikana and the statue of Takamori Saigo were displayed on the forehead.

If you look closely at the fine stone monument on the way back, the inscription erected in 1898 Meiji 31 by the efforts of Oshima Shimaji and Gisuke Sasamori was based on the calligraphy of Kaishu Katsu.

 

 

Did you know that Saigo-don lived in Nihonbashi Ningyocho for two years from 1871 to 6? 1871 1871 Joined the Meiji Government at the age of 44. Abandoned clan is established. 1872 In 1872, he was appointed as a 45-year-old member of the House of Councillors, General of the Army, and Governor of Konoe. 1873 Submitted his resignation from the conflict over dispatch to Korea in 1873 and returned to Kagoshima.

 

It seems that the residence of Gagaku Mamoru Sakai, which has Nihonbashi Elementary School, Kindergarten, Nihonbashi Library, and Uokyu, was made into mansion, but he purchased 2,633 tsubo for 1,586 yen. However, Saigo-don used only the tenement house in the mansion. I understand the character of Saigo Don well.

 "Kappo cuisine Toyoda" is a shop that was integrated in 1863 with the stalls "Tengu Sushi" and "Toyoda" from two shops into the present "Kappo cuisine Toyoda". We spoke with Mr. Takashi Hashimoto, the fourth generation. I heard a story from the second generation old woman. It seems that Saigo Don came to eat "Akaberoberoshobazushi (tuna pickled)". It seems that there is also a project to reproduce the supervision of Yoshino sushi "Akaberobero Shoppashi".

"Senbikiya Sohonten" Founded in 1834 in 1834, it is said that it was located near Ningyocho 3-chome in Oyabashi, right next to the mansion where Saigo Don lived. On a hot summer day, I ordered the second generation Mura Ouchi, saying, "Oh, a strange watermelon, please bring me." The loud voice was heard in the store. I asked Senbikiya that Saigo Don was a favorite of Switzerland.

When asked about his future success, Aiko is scheduled to hold a solo exhibition at Keio Plaza Hotel from December 1 (Sun) to 12 (Wed), 2018.

It would be nice to be able to transform this Japanese brand into knitting using silk in the age of kimono separation, and even today, wearing the softness and lightness of silk to the touch of silk, and transmitting this Japanese brand to the world. I think the hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is an opportunity to attract more attention from people around the world. I would like to keep in mind "hospitality" that expresses the heart of Japan from now on.

(Mr. Eiko Mori, Mr. Ryu of Saigo Nanshu, Mr. Ryu, Mr. Kappo cuisine Toyoda, and Mr. Senbikiya Sohonten received the interview and consent of the description in the photo.)
