After introducing how to grow each grape and its taste, we introduced it.

They eat and compare five kinds of grapes one by one.

Each of the grapes you eat in the explanation of each taste.

With rich sweetness, taste changes in your mouth. It was a very delicious and fun time.

"What kind of grapes were you good? When asked, "Please raise your hand," most people raised their hands on all grapes.

Juya coffee

[Tachibana] May 16, 2018 09:00

  Kobayashi Coffee, a coffee shop sold by Imperial Household Agency, was located in the antique street of Kyobashi, but when I went to buy coffee beans for Mother's Day gift, the shop was closed.

The new office was moving to Kodemmacho on March 25.

And the company name is "Shokujuya Sakurayama". This is because it merged with "CAFE OHZAN", which sells rusks in Mitsukoshi (Ginza and Nihonbashi), etc., last December.

Kodemmacho doesn't have a coffee shop at the office alone, but coffee beans can be purchased at the office.

Phone: 03-5847-6770

    It's on the third floor of the building. The above sign is placed, but it is too conspicuous.

    No. Instead, when I went near the building, there was a good scent of coffee.

    So I was found right away

You can also purchase it from the company's website.

The "Royal Blend" of Juya Coffee, which has been selling coffee for 81 years since its establishment, seems to be similar to the coffee delivered to the Imperial Household Agency. Please try it by all means.

Edo-higan cherry tree has begun to bloom. Let's get ahead of spring at Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

[kimitaku] March 2, 2018 16:00

 On the right bank where the Sumida River Terrace and Chuo-ohashi Bridge intersect.

Edo-higan cherry tree is in bloom.

There is finally a sign of spring in the Sumida River, where the very cold wind is still blowing.

 The bright pink color makes Izu Peninsula imagine the cherry blossoms in full bloom in Kawazu.

It is said that Yoshino cherry tree will bloom in late March this year.

In the wet season, we have 30 days of patience.

Scenery with a famous bridge 1

If you look at Kachidokibashi and Akashicho from Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, you can see the tip of Tokyo Tower.

There are skyscrapers in the distance, and a houseboat passes in the foreground.

It is difficult to understand because it is not lit up, but you will see Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge.

Although it is a simple and undecorative bridge, it has mysterious functional beauty and brings out the lights of the surrounding skyscrapers.

It was completed in 1964 in preparation for the last Olympic Games.

The night view from Harumi Ohashi is exotic.

[kimitaku] January 31, 2018 18:00

At around 7:00 pm on a sunny day, go along Harumi Ohashi from the upstream direction toward Shintoyosu.

The night view of Toyosu is in front of you.

 Along with the green illuminations of the former Ishikawajima dog, the lights of skyscrapers are on the surface of the water.

It's very beautiful to reflect.

 The night view of the Sumida River is also wonderful.

 Every time you walk up the Harumi Ohashi Bridge, the light flashing on the surface of the water is about yourself.

It feels like turning around, and something is very exciting.

 

 

 Even on a sunny morning, the morning sun is a skyscraper, and it is reflected on the surface of the water. 

But it's dazzling like a prism.
