　 I went to GINZA SIX (Ginza SIX). An elephant was flying. ！ Present "Hikaru Elephant" from the summer kingdom and ice machine from the winter kingdom. It seems that peace came with each other's gifts.

　

　　 　

The interior of the store is full of excitement with Nikorabuffe's art. Please enjoy Buff's world view at GINZA SIX.

ＧＩＮＺＡ ＳＩＸ Address 2-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Station 6-10-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0061. There is also a bicycle parking lot.

 

 

The New Year was approaching, and it was the season of Tori-no-ichi Fair. This year there is up to the third rooster.

There are several famous shrines in Tori-no-ichi Fair in Tokyo, but in fact there is a wonderful Tori-no-ichi Fair in Nihonbashi, the city center!

It is Matsushima Shrine in Ningyocho.

Click here for the night.

Matsushima Shrine is a corner of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods and enshrines Okuninushi. >

It was founded in the Kamakura period. At that time, this area was a cove and there was Kojima, and when the sun went down, ships and people were coming and going relying on the lights lit on Matsushima Inari. In the Edo period, many engineers moved from all over the country to reclaim land and build samurai residences, enshrining the hometown of guardian god, so Matsushima Inari had an unparalleled number of enshrined deity as 14 pillars!

Inari Ogami, Iyo Nagi Oga, Iyonami Okami, Himae Oga (Amaterasu Omikami), Kitano Oga (Sugawara no Michizane), Teoki Honaijin, Hikosa Tomojin, Awashima Oga, Hachiman Okami, Saru Tabiko, Kotohira Okami, Sunnyuri Okami (Okuninushi Otori) and Omiya No.
That's right. I think I can meet many gods at once....。

By the way, the famous Matsushima Shrine is "Ryomufuda". Draw the dream you want to fulfill on your bill, put it under the pillow, and sleep, and if you can dream it, your dream will come true! That's what it is. Everyone, please try it.

At Matsushima Shrine Tori-no-ichi Fair, there is Kanzashi kumade because Ningyocho was once a stylish city where geisha and actors came and went. A little rare kumade with a turtle and very cute. There is also a vermilion seal stamp limited to Tori-no-ichi Fair. And above all, it is vacant compared to the large-scale, inevitable Tori-no-ichi Fair in Tokyo! It is highly recommended because you can visit quickly and comfortably without stress. There are many delicious shops and famous shops around the area, so you can enjoy shopping on the way home.

Matsushima Shrine has recently been a location for the drama "dele" starring Takayuki Yamada and Masaki Sugata, so it is definitely recommended for those who want to enjoy the atmosphere of the drama.

Next is the third rooster, November 25th.

2-15, Nihonbashiningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

It is about a 2-minute walk from Ningyocho Station and Suitengumae Station.

 

 

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Until now, we have introduced Chuo-ku from various viewpoints, such as the morning activity series and excursion series, but a new series will be added from this time!
Under the title of "From the company window in Chuo-ku", we will introduce corporate food that can be enjoyed mainly by the general public in Chuo-ku.

The first memorable event will be featured in the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd. Shintomi Branch Office!
It is located in the middle of Takaracho Station and Hatchobori Station.



If you know that you can eat company food here because it doesn't face the main street
I think it's really a few, including those who live in the neighborhood.
Lunch information is available outside the building, so you can check the menu.
It's mainly Japanese food, and it's a lineup that relaxes you to think about the taste of home.



As you can see in the guide, tell us that you will use the cafeteria at the reception and receive a badge.
Take the elevator to the 6th floor and head to the 7th floor restaurant "Bufe" by stairs.



There are people who cook in the back, and welcome you very easily as if you had come to your favorite set meal shop.



The inside of the cafeteria has a government office style that can be said to be "This is a company food!"
Being able to check the morning information program on TV is also a nice point for those who work for the company.



And this time, I would like to introduce a breakfast set that is not included in the outside guide.
This is limited from 8:00 to 10:30, and it is a set known to those who know it.
It's a very normal menu, but it's only 350 yen.
Don't you think the service is incredibly good in Tokyo?
(If you are not good at natto, you can also choose seaweed instead.)
And most of all, handmade in the kitchen is attractive.



Here's the breakfast set I ordered (the fried egg, natto).
I betrayed my expectations in a good way, and there are two fried eggs that came out!
It's a great surprise for those who want to eat well in the morning.



But that's not the only surprise!
A cup that has been warmed in advance with a cup warmer.



I'll have some coffee.
The cup is hot, so it is recommended for the coming season!
This is a free service only for breakfast, and it costs 100 yen at lunchtime.



At the end of the window glass, where I moved my line of sight with a slow cup of coffee.
The Metropolitan Expressway (Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway) stretched between high buildings.
I don't think there are many places where you can see the Metropolitan Expressway while eating and drinking indoors.
It seems that there are many employees and neighbors here.
Neighboring workers, those who use the room without meals Plan (no breakfast) at a nearby hotel.
Children who like cars can enjoy rice and scenery.



It's reasonable and more than expected!
Why don't you try such a secret place company meal in Chuo-ku once?

■Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd. Shintomi Branch
Address: 1-1-3, Shintomi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 7th floor
Business hours Breakfast 8:00-10:30/Lunch 11:30-14:00

In the Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki and Harumi areas, there are five sluice gates to protect the town from floods. The sluice gate is set at the border between the outer waters separated by the external dike and the inner waters. If the water level in the outer waters rises due to storm surges, the sluice will be closed to prevent the water level from rising in the inner waters. The area is protected by 5 gates: 1 Sumiyoshi Suimon, 2 Tsukuda Suimon, 3 Asashio Suimon, 4 Hamamae Suimon, and 5 Tsukishima River Suimon. Each of the five sluice gates was different in shape and interesting, so I will introduce them.

　

①Sumiyoshi Sluice Gate

It is a sluice gate that protects the Tsukuda area from floods such as storm surges. It is a single-leaf roller gate format, with a diameter of 4m x 1 series. It was completed in 1965.

②Tsukuda Sluice Gate

It is a sluice gate at the entrance to the Asashio Canal from the Harumi Canal. It is a double-leaf roller gate format with a diameter of 11.4m x 2 series. It was completed in 1963.

③Morning tide gate

It is a sluice gate at the entrance connecting the Asashio Canal and Tokyo Port. The effective width of 11.4m x 2 double Kannon opening has been adopted in a swing gate format with no height restrictions so that large ships can enter. It was completed in 1964. At present, after crossing Tsukiji Ohashi from the Tsukiji River, the dawn Ohashi of Loop Route 2 from the Kachidoki side to the Harumi side has been completed, so high boats cannot pass.

④Hamamae (Hamasaki) Sluice Gate

It is a sluice gate that prevents flood damage from Shinzuki Shimakawa. It is a single-leaf roller gate with a diameter of 8.4m x 1 line, but it is a sluice gate with no operation room at the top of the roller gate. It was completed in 1964.

⑤Tsukishima River Suimon

It is a sluice gate that prevents flood damage from the Tsukishima River, and is a single-leaf roller gate with a diameter of 11m x 1 series. It was completed in 1964.

　

①Sumiyoshi Sluice Gate　　 　 　　②Tsukuda Sluice Gate　　　　　　③Morning tide gate

　　

④Hamamae Sluice Gate　　　　　 　 ⑤Tsukishima River Suimon

　

The Tsukishima River and the Shinzuki Shimakawa River both connect the Sumida River and the Asashio Canal, but the Tsukishima River is a river and the Shinzuki Shimakawa is a canal. Therefore, Tsukuda Suimon, Asashio Suimon and Hamamae Suimon are managed by the Tokyo Port and Harbor Bureau, which is the canal manager, and Sumiyoshi Suimon and Tsukishima River Suimon are managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction, which is the river manager. I am. I felt a little uncomfortable in the situation where the managers of the sluice gates in the same area were different.

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.
　
This is a continuation of the "Daughter Azuki's Shichigosan" series.

I had a little time after finishing my visit at Suitengu.

Mr. rosemary sea, a senior correspondent, had been taking up before.

Stop by Mihara Domoto store and buy Chitose candy.

Then walk slowly with "Old shoes (= sandals in the Azuki word)"

Adults walk slowly according to the steps of azuki.

Just before 11:00

We arrived at the place of today's lunch, Ningyocho Imahan Ningyocho Main Store.

It's this season, so let's go.

In the same way, I think there were many families who would be the celebration of Shichigosan.

・・・ Actually, I made a reservation less than a month ago, and it was very safe.

There are many people who think this is a special day meal in celebration.
　

And why did Edamame choose this?

１： There must be a course for the celebration of Shichigosan.

That's right.

Lunch time limited "Shichigosan Sukiyaki Course" and "Shichigosan Sukiyaki Course"

"Shichigosan Kaiseki (this is steak instead of sukiyaki)" is available.

https://www.imahan.com/j-wnew/753_02.html

Moreover, the sashimi in the course is full of sea bream! ! ！

If you have three or more orders for the seven-five-three course, you'll do that.

It makes you feel like adding flowers to the "celebration", and the gorgeousness increases.

２： There must be a cooking set for children.

I'd like to take out sukiyaki.

After all, I think it would be better for children to have something that says, "This is my own."

It's the protagonist of the celebration.

In this case, we can handle both 3-year-old and 7-year-old children.

Two kinds of children's menus were prepared.
　

And basically I will show you the private room.

Visit with a kimono → Let me change into clothes here and eat rice

You can also do that.

・・・ Well, as expected, we start with a push-answer, "Ah-chan Kimono no."

But if you tighten it with a kimono, you can't eat a lot of rice, soothe it is complete.
　

Well, the start of the feast! That's right.

Drinks are lunchtime...

Adults also have non-alcoholic, sparkling apple juice.
　

And the first thing that appeared was

This wooden box.

"Ah, don't you open it?"

Yeah. "Oh,"

This is "Children's Celebration Zentemari (3240 yen)".

Sashimi, hamburger steak, shrimp fried and red rice. It's full of treats.

By the way, it also comes with chawanmushi and miso soup.

By the way, there are also things that cost +1,000 yen.

It seems that roast beef will come along. It's an image of a 7-year-old child.

　

If anything, it's azuki that eats a lot for the physique, but it's a good thing.

It was so delicious that it was a better appetite than usual.

For mother Edamame, it's quite much more than usual.

"Eat, eat, eat more!"

I did it.

(It was ridiculous for my mother to taste the hamburger of Ningyocho this half.

　I was in my stomach. I'm sorry (!?) ）

Thanks to you, I became full at an early stage.

Adults don't have to divide the course.

I enjoyed a relaxing meal.

　

That's why adults are also "Shichigosan Sukiyaki Course".

It starts with an appetizer.

Come on in an autumn-like vessel!

The fact that the stewed beef is delicious is still a half of the real territory.

The apple compote also goes very well.

It's a celebration, so it's a clam soup.

The soup stock of the shell is soft and delicious.

And...

It's a great place! ！

I hope you'll be so gorgeous.

The place will become gorgeous at once.

Azuki, who was already full of stomach, seems to have been caught my eye.

And finally, the main sukiyaki.

The person in charge will make one by one.

I know, but the fat is also sweet and soft.

You will be happy.

Because it is the season, pumpkin and ginkgo are also included in sukiyaki.

Pumpkin sukiyaki is rare, isn't it?

But there's no reason why sweet pumpkins don't fit under sukiyaki.

It was delicious.

It's a celebration, so it's red rice and red soup.

Oh, it was delicious!

No, no. We still have desserts.

Azuki's celebration table

I'll have ice cream.

And the adult is ...

The one with Anno potato cream on top of the pudding

It's a pear sherbet and compote.

After having such a treat

It's strange that you get in.

The sweetness of Anno potatoes was gentle and comfortable.
　

Satisfaction. It was a very satisfying lunch.

And he grew so much that he could eat so well

Thank you for the growth of Azuki.

I think it's a good 3-year-old memorial.

The girl will be a 7-year-old celebration.

What's going on at that time?

"Azuki of the first grade of elementary school" ... I can't imagine at all ... (sweat).

I just hope that it will grow up in this city.

★The end★
　

"...~~~!! Tomorrow will be the "Marugoto Museum"!

I knew it.

Actually, it was November 3rd (Saturday) that I went to visit and lunch for Shichigosan.

And the next day, November 4th (Sun)

It was the date of the "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2018".

http://www.marugoto-chuo.jp/wp/

Correspondent Edamame, as in last year, has been serving as a bus guide for a free patrol bus.

When I was relieved after a lot of things, I decided to start the final preparations for the next day.

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

This is the "Daughter Azuki's Shichigosan" series, following the previous one.

Click here for the previous article. →　/archive/2018/10/lovstphotostudio.html

Well, it was the morning of the day of the visit.

On this day, we started taking action early in the morning.

Because ... I planned to do a hair set, wear a kimono, and visit ... so I was supposed to have my hair set in the beauty salon first.

This is the first place in the morning.

Mother Edamame always has her hair cut in this shop.

It's COTON Hanare.

This is a old folk house renovation property located just one back from Ningyocho amazake Yokocho.

It's a calm and calm environment.

And ... why is Edamame cut his hair at this shop?

That's because it's a hair salon with kids' space.

The worries of mothers with small children. It's "when do you cut your hair?"

Really in the magazine "Egg Club" I read before giving birth

What should be done around 8 months of pregnancy → The meaning that I wrote that I should cut my hair.

I understand well now.

It's okay if you tie it up, isn't it? I thought I was stupid.

The baby is very interested in the hair that hangs and hangs down, and pulls it around.

And when you notice it and want to cut it, you can't go freely ...

It's a hand to leave your children on dads' holidays, such as Saturdays and Sundays.

To be honest, there are many things to worry about.

In my home, if you have a look at the azuki for a day,

For the next day I'm sleeping all day long. 。 。

That's why a hair salon with kids' space!

It's like God.

In this case, you can use the free time on weekdays to cut your hair.


Of course, even if there is no kids space.

You can also use a head spa with aroma.

And healed with the delicious coffee that you can get in between.

I think it's a salon where you can be satisfied even if you don't have children.

By the way, I'm talking with a mom friend in the neighborhood of Hamacho.

Ningyocho's "COTON hanare" (one who was newly created as the name hanare = detached)

"COTON" in Hamacho (where this was originally there. Is it okay to call the head office?

The name of the game came out unexpectedly.

Even if it's azuki, I'm used to playing in the kids' space here.

I thought it would be nice to be able to set the hair calmly.

Well, the story of the day.

While I'm going to amazake Yokocho from my home.

"Who would you like to be a guest?" "Yes!"

Despite the repeated conversations.

At the timing of getting started

Azuki, a big explosion.

I'd like to be a guest! "No,"

Oh, don't you want to be cute? "I won't do it,"

・・It was an endless loop.

It was the one who gave me a help boat here

Mr. Hagiwara, the owner stylist who is also a dad.

(Actually, I learned about this COTON by a middle-aged and high-school friend, Daddy Mom, a nursery school.

＝It was triggered by Mrs. and Mrs. Hagiwara.)

I try to watch various videos for children on my tablet device.

He lent me it.

There was also "Hanakappa" that I always see on E-Tele ...

And he sat in his chair for fifty minutes. Thank you very much.

In the meantime, mother Edamame observes how to arrange hair.

"Rope knitting ... I wish I could do it myself ... I'm afraid."

But after all, professional skills are amazing.

I was just impressed by the clumsy.

Well, when the hair set is over, rent a kids space that I always play.

I'm going to wear a kimono.

There is no dressing menu at COTON, so please borrow only the place.

It's a form that my mother Edamame works hard.

But here too ... "No" "I can't do it!" It's a bit complicated.

For Mr. Kameda, who was in charge of the hair set only ...

"... I'm sorry. Can you hold your hands?'

He helped me prevent trying to take off my long undergarment.

After that, I helped you clean up various things, and helped me until the end.

That's how it's done!

By the way, here is the version of the hair set.

It was wrapped around and finished cutely.

Finally, we are leaving for a visit at Suitengu!
