[Mapo ★] June 28, 2010 08:45

Since its establishment in Ginza in 1936, the company has been established.
It is a shop that offers coffee extracted by flank drip one by one.
It is a famous shop that is often listed in magazines.cafe

There are 3 stores in Tokyo in Kanagawa and Aichi, but the main store is located in Ginza 5-chome.

I ordered a cafe au lait and Eclair.

Cafe au lait is a dark coffee made with carefully selected beans and French roast.
They serve fresh milk on the spot.

They also order Eclair and then pack cream.
Separate nuts are also savory and delicious~ (* ^^*)

Recommended when you want to eat a little bit.

It's a calm shop, and a relaxing time is flowing.

A shop specializing in chopsticks ★Ginza Natsuno

[Mapo ★] June 11, 2010 14:30

Ginza Natsuno is a shop specializing in chopsticks.
There are three stores in Ginza, including sister stores, and it seems that there are also in Aoyama and Shinmaru Building.

The first time I went to the main store, on Nishi-Gobangai Street on 6th Street.
A cat figurine with chopsticks will welcome you (* ^^ *)

Some good chopsticks that surprise Wajima lacquer and ivory.
There were many different types of chopsticks, such as natto chopsticks, pasta chopsticks, and ramen chopsticks.
Perhaps because of the recent MY chopstick boom, there were many chopsticks in portable cases.

I bought a pair of Chinese zodiac chopsticks, but this is not very cute and astringent (laughs).
But the Chinese zodiac sign seems to have good luck.
There were black and brown, black was for men and brown was for women.

Also, I saw a cherry-patterned chopsticks at the cash register.
It was so cute that I bought it for a present.

I also went to the Namiki-dori St. store.
There are two sister shops, Konatsu and Uhana, facing each other.
There are also chopsticks depicting famous places in Tokyo.
Ginza had an illustration of Wako on chopsticks (laughs).

On this day, a pair of Chinese zodiac pairs will be presented to the newly married sister and wife!
My sister is a dog and I'm a cow, so the picture is cute~★

It's easy for 840 yen per set, so it's suitable for a small gift than a celebration.
It was a gift, so I had it put it in a box (200 yen).

There were about 5 types of message cards as well.
I made it "Happiness chopsticks"!

Before packaging (laughs)

I also bought chopsticks here on the wedding anniversary of my husband's father and mother.
There are a variety of things, from affordable chopsticks to ultra-high-grade chopsticks.
There's no house that doesn't use chopsticks, and you can have many pairs.
I think it's a good gift that you can definitely use (*^^*)

Saruya, Japan's only toothpick specialty store

[The cat on the slope] June 2, 2010 09:00

Saruya-san, a long-established toothpick specialty store that is not to mention.

It's often featured in magazines and television, so many people know it.

Since it was founded in the first year of Hoei (1704), it has a history of more than 300 years.

It is a long-established store, and the inside of the store is like a museum. Short toothpicks also have a long history. 


When it comes to toothpicks, my uncle said, "No, I ate it" at lunch break.

I think of what is stuck in my mouth while rubbing my stomach, but I think of it

No, it's ridiculous! The toothpick was introduced to Japan during the Heian and Kamakura periods.

It is said that it is a refreshing "buddha utensils" born in India.

 

Saruya's toothpick is made of high-quality black letters, and craftsmen carefully one by one.

I'm making it with a sword. The scent of the bark is my life, so it always comes with skin.

(Left) The 1,000 boxes of paulownia are used for celebrations and New Year's greetings. I also bought the Chinese zodiac tiger thing in the New Year.

(Middle) Small items such as sewing sets and guard bags are also available.

(Left) Cute toothpick holder

My favorite is the tsuji toothpick here. The paper is wrapped one by one.

If you spread it out, you will find the capital of love. Some of the best people such as Hanayagikai and restaurants

I can't even nodd it.

"Uncles during lunch break" can also use Saruya's toothpick.

You can enjoy the feeling of "Edo's smart husband"~.
