Report on participation in “Inbound Course”

[De Niro] July 31, 2018 18:00

de-Niro.jpg


 The other day, we have received the "Latest inbound situation and understanding of different cultures" of the "Town Walking Guide Course Series sponsored by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

 


 I am grateful to the Chuo-ku Tourism Association for providing a thank-you seminar free of charge, not just like this!

 


    ↑ Please stop such a good meal of Miemie (tourist association, certain Mura)

 


 


 Actually, last year, I was taking the same course by the same instructor, but the antakushi became an enthusiastic repeater (>_<).

 


 This course is so attractive that it will become yamitsuki, and it is certain that those who take it will be able to improve their skills accordingly.
 

 

 
 

 

 
 The subtitle says, "Foreigners are not scared! It says "a little English that can be used in practice" and this is the same as last year.
 

 

 
 In the case of antaxi, foreigners are not afraid, but the dilemma, who can't say what they want to say on the spot, has always been bothered.
 

 

 
 That's why last time I was caught by the catch of "a little English that can be used in practice", and I applied for it at random.
 

 

 
 However, the lecture is not English, but introduces basic methods for understanding the other person's culture and feelings and realizing heartfelt hospitality.

 


 

 In fact, the presentation with Mr. charisma's abundant experience and the latest statistical data is substantial and impressive.
 

 

 
 In recent years, this kind of skill improvement training and self-development seminar have been a hundred flowers.
 

 

 
 The level of content varies as the level of the recipient is.

 

 

 
 No matter how advanced the seminar is, it doesn't mean that you should take it blindly.
 

 

 
 If you do not receive any "message material", it will not affect the human body.
 

 

 
 The anakshi couldn't get visible words like the original goal of `` sloppy speech expression '' and phrases, but something more important can be said to be `` attitude '' more important than that I felt like I was able to take home.


 

 

 
 What is that important thing? In order to reconfirm, I wanted to receive it again.
 

 

 
 That's because it's a lie (>_<), and I just wanted to meet this beautiful instructor again and take a two-shot picture and make it Instagram, but I just thought it was something wrong Do you have? (I don't have either Instagram or Twitter.)   
 

 


Yuki_Prof-Photo.jpg
 Lecturer Yuki Shimokogen has experienced overseas life in Russia, India, United States, etc. since childhood, and has stepped on a terrible shuraba for young children, and has been a JAL CA (Japan Airlines flight attendant) career for 20 years. After that, I became the leading coaching industry like today.
 

 


 Her ability cultivated under such different cultures is probably the ability to read air.
 

 


 Even if you have a skill like an anchovy, no matter how much a person who can't read the air improves your skills, useless things are useless (same?)
 

 


 In the first place, I didn't try to read the air from the beginning (>_<).
 

 


 Whether you are a guest from overseas or not, improve your "reading aerodynamic power" (air reading power), not expressiveness.
 I now understand Shimokogen's secret message like an axi now.
 

 


 If so, there is no way to give it a presentation method that casually leads to the audience's "a little English that can be used in practice" in the subtitle, saying "a little English that can be used in practice" and without dare to give it out.
 

 


InBound_Seminer.jpg
    *Photographs and releases with the consent of the organizer and the lecturer.
 

 


 The experience of Shimokogen's childhood trauma cut out the pinch without knowing the words eloquently speaks.
  

 


 The expression "reading the air" itself is somewhat vague and I don't know how to do it, but one of the concrete know-hows is that it is.
 

 


Observe the other person and be interested
 

 


But Mr. Shimokogen said.
 

 


 In other words, it is not the power to say, but the power to listen.
  

 


 In this regard, there is a verse that I can think of.
  

 


 When I do a guide, what I want to convey is a lot of things, and I say what I want to say, but after all, it is not transmitted to the other person.
  

 


"I want to convey this!" He is so high that he is bombed.
  

 


 What you need to do is detect what customers really want to know and guide them effectively.
 

 


 That's important.
 

 


 But the important thing is not visible. ("The Prince of the Stars"-Fox-kun's Words-)
 

 


 Therefore, the ability to read invisible air will become important.
 

 


 It is ultimately to read human minds, a super difficult and deep world.
 

 


 As such, an axies who can't read air wrote an article with the purpose of "Let's read the air as much as possible!"
 

 


Did you have any problems?

【Cooking class for authentic Japanese food】 Ginza Fujita (Ginza 8-chome)

[Dye] July 29, 2018 12:00

The Japanese cooking class "Ginza Fujita" introduced before
The other day, I was finally able to finish the intermediate class!
    
    
s53_08.jpg
It is located on the first basement floor of the Third Soire de Bldg., near Hakuhinkan, along Chuo-dori.
    

"Ginza Fujita" is a Japanese restaurant with an adult atmosphere that is usually used for entertainment, but cooking classes are held during the daytime and Saturday on weekdays.
Beginning with the beginner class, and when it is over, the applicant will proceed to the intermediate class.
    
Professionals will teach you directly, and it is attractive that you can do it alone instead of working in a group. On the other hand, there are 5 to 6 students in one class, so it's fun to have friends, and I can listen to questions that I can't think of alone, so I can study.
    

In the beginner class, I learned from the basics such as how to take out barefoot and how to use kitchen knives.
During class, you can judge many fish, make several eggs and thick rolls, and there are many repetitive exercises, soak the body to some extent even in the class alone.
    
In the intermediate class, the main thing is to devise using your head, such as how to use seasonings and arrange them, so you can get a glimpse of the depth of cooking.
The horse mackerel fried even in the beginner is made with unusual clothes instead of bread crumbs, and also elaborate dishes such as pork kakuni, lily root buns, and crab dishes.
   
s53_02.jpg s53_04.jpg
Delicate and delicious Yurine Manju (!) Sweet fried chicken with saury.
The crab was cooked with a whole cup of cooked rice and cream cheese.
   
    
In the spring, you can make a wild vegetable bowl using butterbur and feel the season, and learn how to make duck meat, which was mysterious to handle personally, soft.
s53_05.jpg s53_03.jpg
s53_07.jpg s53_06.jpg
It's a great deal. 。 。 Finally, it became sashimi. Oh...(^_^;)
      
       
When I actually tried it once, I was confident that it wasn't so hard, and I came to think about the original taste of the ingredients, so the seasonings that I had put like a routine until now are unnecessarily used.
     
In addition, the kelp tightening of fish taught in the cooking class is made a little bit at home. In that case, I was wondering if there was any delicious sake that would suit it....
Until now, I wasn't very interested in alcohol, and I thought it would be good for potatoes and juice, but I was surprised by myself.
      
      
The number of drawers for cooking has increased, but the way of enjoying life has expanded.
    

And the most important thing I learned is that cooking is free.
(There are some points that must not be removed!)
     
I thought I had to do it exactly as I was told in a cooking book, etc., so it was a great discovery that it was fun to think freely and deliciously.
The Japanese food-related cooking book I had no longer feel the necessity, so only the cooking class notebook of "Ginza Fujita" is on our bookshelf!
     
s53_09.jpg
Wouldn't it be nice to have this? ?
    

Before going to the cooking class, the craftsmen seemed to be strict, and I was nervous to call inquiries, but Mr. Fujita here is a person full of hospitality and humor, so there is no need to worry about that. did.
You mentioned that you want the students to enjoy it through cooking, but that's true! It was very fun.
     

I have to proceed to the intermediate class only after finishing the beginner class, but for about three years in total, there were new discoveries every time, and I was so fulfilling that I wanted to go more.
    
Like the meal of "Ginza Fujita", it is not only delicious, but also the excitement of "I have such an idea", so both classes are a sloppy one who has gained some cooking experience. I think.
     

If you are interested, please call us first from the beginner class (*^^*)

Ginza is also fashionable to wear under construction!

[often slap] July 25, 2018 12:00

Ginza 3-chome, where Ginza Street and Marronnier Street intersect.
"Channel Ginza" is aiming for the reopening in the fall of 2018.
Refurbishment work is currently underway.
The outfit is wonderful, so I would like to introduce you!
 
sbt_1807_01.JPG
This is the state of "Channel Ginza" taken this month.
The area facing Ginza Street is covered with the entire building.
The cover is a landmark of Paris, the home of Chanel.
The picture of "Eiffel Tower" is drawn.
 
And when I look at the lower floors of the building ...
sbt_1807_02.JPG
In order to prevent materials from falling from high places, eaves are provided on the sidewalk of Ginza Street.
The pillars that support this eaves have a design reminiscent of the gas lamps on Ginza Street.
Also, the enclosure on the first floor of the building has a wonderful picture so that it does not become a monotonous white wall.
 
sbt_1807_03.JPG
When you stand on the sidewalk, it looks like this.
I want to think about Ginza in Meiji period.
This can only be seen while "Channel Ginza" is undergoing renewal work.
In a sense, it's a limited-time landscape, so if you go to see it, it's now!

 

 

Sherry sake in Ginza

[wienerhorn] July 24, 2018 18:00

I went to a famous store in Ginza, "Shiri Club".

It is a restaurant registered in the Guinness Book with a selection of Shelly sake, and it is a restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Spanish cuisine with Shelly, and it is a highly satisfying restaurant whenever you visit.

If you order a barrel sherry, pour it into the glass with a tool called "Venenencia", which is about 1m elastic and long ladle. You can see the so-called parabola (secondary curve y = -x^2) and pour it without spilling! Every time each table is poured in Venencia, the entire floor is excited by photography ^^
In the dishes, the popular menu of Hamo Ahijo, the soft shell club paella, and many others were delicious.
"Shuri Club" provides the local community FM "Chuo FM" (84.0MHz) every Monday at 20:00, "Sherry-Theatre in the barrel". If you have a smartphone app "ListenRadio", you can listen to it regardless of the region, so please listen to it!

Visiting Godzilla at Tokiwa Bridge.

[Shiba Inu] July 24, 2018 09:00


The Tokiwa Bridge area, located on the north side of Tokyo Station, is undergoing large-scale redevelopment. It was completed in 2027. A new city surrounded by greenery will be born. For details → Here


Well, with that!

At present, successive Godzillas are landing on Tokiwa Bridge.


IMG_4401.jpg

To be precise, the temporary enclosure of the construction is the Godzilla Gallery.


IMG_4397.jpg

IMG_4398.jpg

IMG_4400.jpgIMG_4406.jpgIMG_4407.jpg

The posters, commentary, chronology, etc. of all 29 works at the time are lined up, and it has been transformed into a very impressive street where the Showa era is transmitted.


Of course, there's a lot.


IMG_4414.jpg

There are also footprints of Godzilla, so don't miss it!


IMG_4410.jpg

The total length is 140 meters, and if you walk slowly while watching, it will take about 15 minutes. There is a bench on the way. The period is until February 20 of next year. For more information, please visit our website.



Joban Bridge, which is the name of the development, is a wonderful stone arch bridge made in the Meiji era, and is currently under restoration. I'm really looking forward to seeing you again someday.


IMG_4430.jpg



Crossing the Tokiwa Bridge north, you will find the statue of Eiichi Shibusawa, staring at the Japanese financial world. There are a number of Eiichi statues near Tokyo, and this is the most similar! I personally think, so if you like, please take a look at it. Money may rise...。 The money museum in the immediate vicinity is also very recommended. You can learn while experiencing the history of money, so I think that children during summer vacation can enjoy it. Admission is free!
