Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. It's Hanes, a new correspondent!
Suddenly, do you know what day March 12 is?
It seems that there is a "purse day" in the word matching, but one other thing that should not be forgotten is "Sweets Day".
I like cream puff the most among cream-based sweets, so I like it.
This time, I compared some cream puffs that can be bought in the city.

■Schukry (Sucre-rie)
As the senior correspondent rosemary sea and Mukuru introduced, we have introduced you.
There is a very popular cream puff that is "must line" and "sold out" here.
The location is near Nihonbashi Elementary School (part of the site of the Saigo Takamori mansion).



At the time of the visit, Christmas was near, so there were about 20 people lined up before the store opened.
The cream puff is served multiple times a day.
The number is limited, such as 70 or 100 each time.
For that reason, I was asked for the order number of cream puffs while I was in line.

I heard rumors that sesame is the point of this cream puff.
I'm looking forward to it even though it's unusual, and here I was able to purchase it safely for a while!
Elegant sesame condition is preserved, but not too sesame sesame seeds.



As you can imagine from the appearance, it has a crispy fabric.
And what is your concern?...



Smooth cream is packed with less sweet taste.
I felt a stronger impression of vanilla than custard.
Surprisingly, the uniqueness of sesame is not bothered, so it can be recommended as a souvenir of Nihonbashi.

■Meijiya Kyobashi Store
Next, it was advertised in Kyobashi as "Recommended for souvenirs".
Delibake cream puff from Meijiya Kyobashi store!



This is different from Mr. Schurley's cream puff.
The fabric is soft and fluffy.
And what I would like to emphasize personally is a cute look like flowers.



I've seen a lot of cream puffs so far.
It's the first time that this is the first time!
Because of the unevenness, it can be eaten relatively elegantly by tearing it by hand without sticking it.
It may be a nice point for women.

The cream doesn't have a strong custard egg feeling.
Without strong feeling of vanilla, it makes it easy for anyone to eat.
In addition, it's smooth and creamy, so you can eat many of them.
The shop is directly connected to the station, so it is highly evaluated that you can easily drop in.

■Kohji Corner Ginza 1-chome Main Store
This time, cream puff that can be bought in Ginza, a little south of Kyobashi!
The Kohji corner is now being rolled out nationwide, but the main store is located in Ginza.
There are plenty of delicious sweets that are affordable.
I think there are many people who have been there once.



The jumbo cream puff series at the Kohji corner is a 35th anniversary long seller.
Why do you introduce this time even though it can be purchased outside the Ginza main store?...
This is because it was renewed on February 22, 2019 and upgraded its level.



Custard cream is made to increase the flavor of vanilla and further enhance the richness of eggs.
Whip & custard not only increased cream but also increased cream.
It seems that the richness has been added with the addition of anglaze sauce.
It's just called "jumbo", a size that doesn't disappoint expectations!
This Shoo fabric is also fluffy, and it's crisp.
Isn't it easy for small children to eat?

■Ta Hanatani-do
This time, it is a cream puff that can be purchased at Tsukiji.
This shop is known for its "cream that can be lined up"...



You can buy crisp, creamy cream puffs featured on TV shows.



The sharpness of the cream is far from others.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no cavities.



The rich custard cream with vanilla beans generously is impressive!
If you like cream puffers who are particular about cream, I would like you to eat it once.

■Ginza Midori Hanado
I don't go to Tsukiji, but there's a lot of cream around Ginza as well.
If you want to eat crispy cream puff, go to this shop.



The cream puff here is also the favorite of Kabuki actor Matsuya Onoe.
It seems that there is no need to worry about the shape loss when carrying it because the fabric is bulky.
Also, I'm particular about making it.
You can enjoy a high-quality texture that leaves a slight warmth.
In addition, he was able to win the first place in the No. 1 cream puff game.
It is also a hot topic cream puff that you will want to check when you come to Kabukiza.

By the way, I introduced 5 kinds of cream puffs, was there anything you care about?
Even if you don't usually eat sweets, you can enjoy sweets in Chuo-ku on March 12.
There should be a lot of sweets that will make you smile just by looking at it.

 

 

　

Is this a reality? Or a fantasy? (Fully delusion)

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? (A total delusion)　

　

"Bohemian Rhapsody", which won the Oscar award in four US Academy categories in 2019, is a movie based on the true story of the rock band Queen.　

If you receive a sightseeing request from an original member of Queen to Chuo-ku, where should I take you?

Winning 4 Academy Awards, "Bohemian Rapsody" is a movie based on the history of rock band Queen.　

If the original members of the band make a request for a tour, where should they be taken to?

John Decon (base)

John majored in electronic engineering is a typical science boy. The place where science enthusiasts like seems to suit you.

I wonder if the site of the insulator test station or the former Japanese National Railways railroad crossing signal are recommended.

　

John Deacon (bass guitar)　

Majored electronic engineering, John is likely to be a typical science geek. 　

He should be satified with the places where science mania would love.　

Spots like place of origin for Insulator in Japan, or former JR crossing signal, etc.

　

　

　

Roger Taylor (Drum)

Roger, who was a popular man since he was young, will ladder the Ginza at night and roll it around.　

　

Roger Taylor (drums)

Roger's good looks attracted girls over decades. He could bar hop and enjoy Ginza night.

　

　

　

Brian May (guitar) 　

Brian, who is also a doctor of astrophysics, will take you to Time Dome Akashi.　

　

Bryan May (guitar)

Not only a musician, but also famous as an astrophysicist Phd., Time Dome Akashi might interest him.

Freddie Mercury (vocal 1946-1991）

I read the budget (draft) for FY2019 published on the homepage of Chuo-ku.
The general account exceeded 100 billion yen for the first time as an initial budget.
It is a budget that takes into account population growth, the Tokyo 2020 Games, and the infrastructure development committee with a view to the "200,000 cities" ahead.
Among the new major businesses, I focused on the following:

・Local rat control promotion project
・Revision of bridge life extension repair plan
・Survey of New Subway Lines
・Maintenance of "Edo Bus" Free Wi-Fi
・Noh and Kabuki appreciation classes
・Participation in Brasilian Youth School Games
・Development of Tokiwa Elementary School (Annex)
・Origami Crane Project (tentative name)
・Renewal of warm bath Plaza Hot Plaza Harumi

In particular, I'm worried about the new subway line, Hot Plaza Harumi, etc.
What kind of business are you interested in?

 

 

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
At the end of the year, I went to such a place to digest the remaining holidays!



A night view with dense skyscrapers, a warehouse used for new applications after renovation.
Artistic cup of coffee, a relaxing waterfront...
Yes, here's New York, including Manhattan and Brooklyn!
...Rather, I went around New York-like places in Chuo-ku.

■Introduction
First of all, I wondered, "What is New York-like?"
I focused on the topography and geography of New York.
I've never been to the United States yet, but I remember seeing a video of accessing the Statue of Liberty by ferry.
I thought that the waterfront was substantial like Chuo-ku.

When it comes to waterfront in Chuo-ku, Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi areas!
So I compared some of them with Manhattan Island in New York....
Isn't the shape and geographical conditions of the island somewhat similar?


(* Please note that the scale is not uniform.)

This common point is that the cat on the hill, a senior correspondent, was also written.
I thought the impression I had was not a mistake.

■Night view
When it comes to the night view of Manhattan, it's a skyscraper.
The dense skyscrapers just reaching the heavens would be a highlight if you saw them live.
Then, if you say the skyscraper in Chuo-ku...
Isn't it a group of tower apartments in Tsukuda?


(Shooted from Eitai Bridge with a toy camera-like setting that has recently been hooked.)

Compared to the home, the shape and density of the building are slightly different, but it is ◎!
This scenery is also called "Little Manhattan".
Eitai Bridge is currently under construction, as Satsuki's carp streamer wrote, but it is still under construction.
When the construction is completed, I would like to go to shoot this "Little Manhattan" through the illuminated bridge.

■Renovation of warehouse
In New York, we have built a large-scale renovation of warehouses in recent years.
There is a district that has been reborn fashionable with an industrial atmosphere.
That is the DUMBO (Dumbo)
There are galleries, boutiques, cafes, etc., which are attracting attention both in Japan and overseas.

Although the exterior is different, the warehouse has been renovated like DUMBO in Chuo-ku and the warehouse has been renovated.
Efforts to use new products have come to be seen for a while.
In Toyomi, warehouses are studios, and in Tsukishima, galleries and restaurants are located.
I feel like I'm going to buy a lot to create a new bustle for the Tokyo 2020 Games.


(Warehouse in Tsukishima)

■Special coffee
Japanese coffee includes American coffee chains such as Starbucks and other American coffee chains.
Like "Third Wave Coffee" which was often heard a while ago.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is greatly influenced by the United States.

Therefore, I would like to recommend this time on the second floor of Harumi Island Triton Square.
Brooklyn Roasting Company (Brooklyn Low Sting Company)
It opened in Brooklyn in 2010 to provide eco-friendly coffee.
This shop is highly regarded by Newyorker.

The flagship of such a coffee shop is located in Kitahama, Osaka.
It operates mainly in Osaka, but the only store in Tokyo is located in Harumi.


(Shooted on the terrace seat of the flagship Kitahama store)

You can enjoy the waterside scenery that you enjoyed in Kitahama even in Harumi.
This time, I received M of drip coffee (Ethiopian Natural).
It's elegant with blueberry scent.
If you drink while you care about it, unlike the coffee you have drunk so far, you can drink it.
There was no habit, it was easy to drink, and I think it was an elegant taste.



In addition to coffee, you can also enjoy American baked goods and bagels from nearby shops.



We also sell coffee beans, drip coffee, and merchandise from this shop.
I purchased a blend of drip coffee that I was interested in for work.
It's not as flashy as Brooklyn's street art, but the package has a high design and the tension rises!



In addition, there is a happy card (lower left of the photo) that makes the 11th cup free if you purchase 10 cups.
If you like coffee, please try it.
Free Wi-Fi is available and it is open from 8:00 in the morning, so it is also friendly to nearby workers.
If you commute to work with a Brooklyn-born cup in one hand, you will feel a little Newyorker feeling.

■Waterfront
As you can see from the geography introduced at the beginning, there is also a view of the waterfront.
I think it's one of New York's uniqueness.
That's why I came here to Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal, which was ranked in the top 20 in TripAdvisor's "Popular Date Spots" ranking.
The scenery and night view at dusk are recommended, but you can enjoy it in the daytime.


(It's not Chuo-ku, but you can see the Rainbow Bridge.)

The public art reflected upside down on the surface of the water is also worth a look.
By the time you come here, you can also see the construction site of the Olympic athlete village.
Why don't you stop by while seeing the scenery that can only be seen now?


(The feathers of the white bird in the foreground are charming.)

If you are familiar with it, you will know that it is the scenery from the Harumi Passenger Terminal.
For those who have seen it for the first time, I think, "Oh, it's a bit like New York!"

■Yeah
It is a place like New York in Chuo-ku.
Beginning with topography and geographical comparisons, Tsukuda Tower Condominiums, Tsukishima Warehouses, etc.
We have introduced the Brooklyn Roasting Company and Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal.
Of course, it's not true, but when you want to enjoy the New York style easily, it's not the case.
I guess there is such a way of enjoying it.

 

 

In Ginza Sony Park

The tropical "cycad" flourishes, giving you a warm atmosphere.

　

Underground, a puppy robot "AIBO" with a body length of about 30 cm welcomes you.

When you move in response to "sitting" and "hands", or stroking your head, you will be pleased.

I don't know how much I understand human language.

It will evolve further and reward you for healing

　

Speaking of which, it's almost spring.

To Chuo-dori from Ginza 2-chome to Sanchome.

Cartier Gucci Chanel Tiffany Dior is lined with luxury stores from around the world.

In the evening, the window is beautifully colored, but the appearance of Ginza.

　

　If you walk along Sanchome, you will see the entire wall of Ginza Matsuya Department Store.

He set a new record in Japan at the Tokyo Marathon last year.

A huge silhouette (goal scene) of "Yuta Shitara" player was raised.

・・・ The word "You will break common sense" is also vivid. ・・・

　　

The twin Shitara brothers (brother is Keita) have been working hard as runners since they were young.

My younger brother Yuta set a new record for the Tokyo Marathon (2 hours, 6 minutes and 11 seconds).

When they were young, they worked hard at Obusuma Elementary School Junior High School with other students to become runners.

＊It seems that there are 15 Hakone Ekiden players from Obusuma Junior High School * (I am also alumni as a correspondent) *

While walking from Ginza 2-chome at dusk,

Take a look at the world's fashion and Shitara's male figure.

・・'-This year's Tokyo Marathon is coming soon. ・・・

The Ginza Matsuya Department Store (TEL03-3567-1111) is a 5-minute walk from Ginza Station.
