　On December 1, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Ginkgo deciduous leaves".

2 days later than normal and 10 days earlier than last year.

The deciduous day of ginkgo is the day when the leaves fall about 80% when looking at the standard Kimata body.

Ginkgo on the green road at Hamacho Park entrance is also falling in a considerable part.

This year, November 21 was the "Ginkgo Yellow Leaves" day, so it will be deciduous on the 11th day from the yellow leaves. (10 days on average)

A carpet of fallen leaves at the feet.

When the sun shines golden.

It is a late autumn atmosphere while remembering the wabi of the remaining yellow leaves.

The "Autumn Leaves" season is about to end.

All you have to do is leave the news of "Iroha maple deciduous leaves".

From now on, it is time for each tree to store energy for next spring.

I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of "green sprouts" all at once in spring.

 

 

This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an agenda.

　

I wrote "Hello" in the title, but originally it is connected to "General's ~" or "Don's ~".

Suitengu has roots in the feudal lord of the Kurume Domain in Kyushu and Yorinori Arima's Edo Yashiki. So I wonder if there is still after Suitengu.

　

Today, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Mihara Domoto.

We interviewed Mr. Miharada, Senior Managing Director of Mihara Domoto Co., Ltd. and Mr. Ito, Sales Department.

The Mihara Domoto store was founded in 1877. Now the third generation.

　

At the beginning of the company, it seems that it was manufactured and sold only during the castle.

You can still get it during the talisman.

In addition, Japanese sweets include dorayaki, bean Daifuku, dumplings, fresh sweets, Honrenyokan, and others.

Salt rice crackers are also the main product.

There are plenty of Western sweets such as cakes.

Anyway, it's a treasure trove of delicious things. Please enjoy it.

　

This is an introduction of the product. It has a meal lipo.

In the middle of the house.

Azuki beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido are also used. It's a carefully kneaded bean paste.

　

It's fun.

We also use red beans here. It's a great deal.

The brown color is slightly dark because soy sauce is mixed in the skin.

Demonstration is sold 3 to 4 times a day.

"A firm, crumbling," Mr. Tsan, 3.

"The skin is fluffy. The red beans are refreshing and sweet." Mr. Si.

"It's just right sweet." Mr. T. 2.

In addition, the seasonal dorayaki is now Mont Blanc. (The lower left in the photo)

White and marron. It is scented with rum.

Cherry blossoms at the beginning of the year, matcha in spring, and lemon in summer.

"I'm glad that the slight taste of lamb matched with the bean." Mr. F Yu.

"It's exactly Mont Blanc cake. It was very delicious." Mr. F River.

"Collaboration of Western and Japanese sweets. It was delicious." Mr. S branch.

　

Bean Daifuku.

I have a koshian.

The beans outside, where you can see, are slightly salty red peas.

"It's delicious because the saltiness of the beans matches the sweetness of the bean." Rosmali family.

　

Salt rice crackers.

Salt is natural salt from Hakata and white crystal rock salt from Germany.

Both are mineral-rich salt that is gentle to the body.

It is baked with carefully selected glutinous rice. When you take it out of the bag, you will feel the scent of soy sauce.

Would you like a gift?

"The crumbled rice is chewy. The aroma of soy sauce and the refreshing aftertaste of salt were very good. " Mr. S Yama.

"Thin taste and health-conscious." O.

"It was salty and delicious." Mr. Ikura.

Seasonal dumplings are now peanut butter. (right)

"The peanut is fragrant and goes very well with the dumplings." Rosmali family.

Grated mountain potatoes. It's Koshian.

The face of the rabbit is handwritten by a craftsman. It's very cute.

On October 30, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan (inbound tourists) reached 20.05 million (announced by JNTO), surpassing 20 million for the first time. The government doubled the target number of inbound customers in March this year to 40 million by 2020, but it has become extremely common to see foreigners in Chuo-ku. On the other hand, a local friend who moved to Tokyo said, "I can't get a hotel, what should I do! 。 。 。 There are vacancies, but it's expensive and I can't stay at the company's prescribed travel expenses." I often go to Kansai and Hokkaido, which are popular among foreign visitors to Japan on business trips, but I certainly feel that it has become difficult to make reservations for hotels that have been set up recently.

　

I wonder if this is the case. It seems that the number of shared room-style accommodations with many beds in some rooms such as guest houses, mainly in sightseeing spots, has recently increased. How about in Tokyo? 。 。 。 When I searched, it seems that there are many guesthouses in areas such as Asakusa, Minami-Senju, Shinjuku, etc., but in Chuo-ku, where business passenger demand is strong, there are many business hotels such as Toyoko Inn, Super Hotel, and Apa Hotel, but I never heard much about guesthouses.

　

A while ago, the story of Toyomi Bridge and the novel "Onjuku Kasemi" ("Chuo-ku (Part 5)-Onjuku Kasemi-~ (/archive / 2016/11/post-3819.html) "), But on a sunny Sunday morning, across the Toyomi Bridge and across the Nihonbashi Bridge Name of Nihonbashi River. When you climb the stairs and open the door on the second floor, you will receive a reception. When I heard the story, it was still a guest house. As it opened in March 2015, I should have passed in front of me many times, but I didn't notice it because it was night and the appearance was like a normal office building. It seems that there was no introduction on the Chuo-ku Tourism Association blog yet, so I was in the middle of a walk, but decided to cover it.

Take off your shoes in front of the reception on the second floor and put them in a shoe locker beside it. Because it is locked, there is no mistake or loss of shoes that tend to be a large inn, so it is safe. The back of the reception is a shared lounge, which seems to be comfortable with the bright sunlight in the morning. There is also a kitchen that can be used freely by guests in the lounge, and at night it will be lively with a drinking party for exchanging information on a trip! The 1st, 3rd and 4th floors of a 5-story building are accommodation floors, with 86 cells (private rooms) as in the capsule hotel. There is no large public bath because it is an economy hotel, but you can sweat your trip in the shower room on the 5th floor (9 rooms)! In addition, there are washing machines and dryers (paid), as well as rentals of towels and yukata (paid). There seems to be a rental bicycle (600 yen a day), so I would like foreigners who are staying to visit the famous places in Chuo-ku by all means. In the novel, Onjuku Kasemi was an inn where people could stay with peace of mind due to the thick humanity of the people surrounding the master's Rukasemi, but in the inbound era Kasemi "Oak Hostel Cabin" seems to be a cozy stay.
