Lunch buffet at the Royal Park Hotel! "Chef's Dining Symphony"

[Edamame] 14:00 on April 30, 2017

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

 

In fact, a friend from my middle and high age worked in my neighborhood.

So, when she's not busy, she sometimes has lunch together.

That's why I had lunch with her today.


The location is on the first floor of the Royal Park Hotel

"Chef's Dining Symphony"!

DSC_1044-1.jpg

In fact, the coffee shop was renewed in March this year.

At that time, I was looking at the flyer and I wanted to go someday.

Look for lunch buffet! (3,564 yen (including tax and service charge))

Buffet is so excited for why?

I'm not young anymore, so I can't eat a lot like when I was a student.

It’s fun to get a lot of stuff.


That's why I came to the hotel lobby.

IMG_2576-1.jpg

It's nice to have this atmosphere.

But... just today.

DSC_1037-1.jpg

Dango from flowers!

Rather than meat!

It's the flower of lunch buffet, isn't it?

It was a soft and delicious steak.

The sauce on it is also the taste of the hotel.


And this is the dish of Azuki, the daughter of a 1-year-old.

DSC_1038-1.jpg

The good thing about the buffet is before the rice comes out.

I don't think you have to wait for time.

It's safe to give small children rice right away.

(If you wait too long when you’re too hungry, you’re going to riot.)

That's my favorite.

・Sandwich (ham cheese & potato salad)

・Spanish omelet

That's right.

The sandwich is large enough to hold even small children,

It seemed very easy to eat.

Spanish-style omelets have azuki just during fork practice

Good size and hardness to eat with a fork yourself.

I was flattening at a faster pace than usual.

In addition, white fish seemed to be moist and soft and easy to eat,

Vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

Even small children could eat something that was easy to eat, so I ate it.

・・・I am surprised that my friend says, "Azuki-chan eats well" (laughs).


And speaking of Buffet...

DSC_1039-1.jpg

Delicious cake!

Happy to eat a little bit too! That's right.

In addition, fruit jellyApple, mousse, etc.

There were a lot of things.

That's right. The banana caramelize was delicious!

Simple, warm bananas and applesApple with caramel...

It was a sweet, sweet to be happy.

(And forget to take a picture of it. 。 。)


I want to win everything...

The limit of the stomach

Let's do it again.

I still have a lot to talk about with friends...

Since it is a hotel close to Suitengu Shrine, it is very smooth and smart.

You're safe, right?

By the way, this time, Azuki used high chairs (so-called children's chairs).

It's okay to be a baby stroller.

DSC_1040-1.jpg


There is also a hotel-made cake shop next to the checkout counter.

DSC_1042-1.jpg

Among them, I was worried...

DSC_1043-1.jpg

It is "Tsuboyaki Honey Pudding" (1620 yen)!

The bowl is cute, and it has an impact in size.

Someday I will bring you sometime.

I thought I wanted to use it.

Season is coming! Traveling through Edo by waterway

[Shibainu] 09:00 on April 30, 2017


The cherry blossoms have passed, and the cold season is finally over.

What do you mean?...This is the opening of the Edo boating tour season "Going around the water city and Tokyo by boat"!


DSC_8601.jpg

Edo is a water city and a town that flourished based on logistics by waterways. The current major roads in Tokyo are also many roads that were originally waterways. And in Chuo-ku, there are many active waterways, led by the Sumida River and the Nihonbashi River. Let's go around there by boat! That's a boat tour. It is not just a boat ride, but a trip through the main roads and waterways that used to be the gateway to Balibari where trade ships come and go until a little over 100 years ago. In addition to the remnants of Edo, there are many remains where the gorgeous Meiji Taisho remnants remain. You can see things and things that can not be seen from the ground along with the explanation of the guide.

IMG_7272.jpgDoes anyone know where he is here?...!? (The hint is the site of a subway.)



Of course, we’ll go to the hot places now.


DSC_8537.jpg

In Tsukiji Market...

DSC_8551.jpg

Toyosu planned site!



There are various types of tours, so you can choose what place, how long, and how deep you want to see. Each tour has a professional guide, so it's very interesting.

DSC_8580.jpgYou can also see the landfill under construction in Tokyo Bay.



The boat tour is not held in winter, so the next few months will be on-season. From time to time, a wide variety of tours are being held. For more information, please visit our website.


Association for the Creation of Water City Tokyo

When you look at Tokyo in Heisei from the spacious waterway, you can see a completely different appearance. I think you can experience people and things from Edo to before the war, the flow of culture, and how to connect with neighboring areas such as Asakusa.


It is a very fulfilling event, so please come and visit Chuo-ku from the waterway in the warm season to come.



By the way,...


For those who like the bridge rather than the river!


IMG_3385.jpg"Pocket Map of Bridges" edited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction. It is a wonderful book that covers major rivers and bridges in Tokyo.


It's like this when you open inside.


IMG_3386.jpgEach one is pocket size, 5 books in total. All box sets are value price of 800 yen. It is also sold at the "Kachidokibashi Museum" located at the base of Kachidokibashi. I don't really recommend this map because I don't really recommend it.



 

 

A new lovely cafe in Hamacho! 「FRUIT & HERB TEA CAFE ONE'S」

[Edamame] April 27, 2017 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


The other day, I was waiting for a bus at the Hamacho 3-chome (Tornale) bus stop on Metrolink Nihonbashi E Line

I found a wonderful cafe on the other side of Shin-ohashi-dori St.

Certainly, I've been interested since I was doing the interior work.

The nice interior design that gives you a little glimpse.

What kind of shop will it be? If I thought it would be a nice cafe.


That's why I'm not going.

It opened on April 19.

Fruit and Herb Tea Cafe One's!

IMG_2563-1.jpg

From inside the shop, the dogs are Hello

This shop, a shop where you can bring your dog in the store.

When I entered, half of the customers were with the dog.

I was happy because there were a lot of cute dogs with a 1-year-old daughter, Azuki.

Well, when you sit down.

IMG_2558-1.jpg

IMG_2557-1.jpg

The flowers displayed are beautiful!

And...you can use WIFI too.

In this age, there are many people who will help you.


IMG_2562-1.jpg

It seems that this blackboard is handmade (hand-painted) by the staff!

IMG_2570-1.jpg

The atmosphere of the seat is like this.

IMG_2571-1.jpg

There are also delicious cookies at the counter.


Okay, let's order it.

IMG_2559-1.jpg

Recommended is organic soy milk smoothies (420 yen + tax).

"Rose & Strawberry" or "Lavender & Blueberry"

I mean...

IMG_2556-1.jpg

Choose "Lavender & Blueberry".

It's not too sweet, but it's refreshing.


And I wonder if my daughter, Azuki, can be a snack...

I ordered "Bucket French toast (banana and fresh cream)" (700 yen + tax).

Ask the store, "Can you make a part that is not sweet?"

Just ask me if I don't...

IMG_2560-1.jpg

Two of the four French toasts are "toppings"

(bananas & raisins & fresh cream & maple syrup)

IMG_2561-1.jpg

And the remaining two pieces are "no toppings"

I served them on separate dishes.

Thank you for your consideration, thank you!

The taste is delicious, of course.

I was healed by the gentle sweetness of fresh cream.

Azuki also likes French toast.

It was sucky, sucky.

For an opening commemorative gift

IMG_2565-1.jpg

I had herbal tea and magnets.

IMG_2568-1.jpg

It was a fruity, sweet, gorgeous aroma tea

And...

IMG_2566-1.jpg

In fact, this shop is near here.

It is said that it is a sister shop of "Green Park Avenue" which specializes in herbal tea.

So there are a lot of herbal tea menus too.

I'll try it next time I visit you too.


※To all the children.

This shop does not have a chair for children, but it is OK to enter a stroller.

Azuki (1 year and 10 months) took off his shoes and sat on his sister in an adult chair.

Is the cutlery... big? I thought.

Surprisingly, I used a normal fork for adults.

There is a "small spoon for ice cream" in the shop.

"Plastic Spoon Fork".

If you are worried, it may be safer to bring a fork for small children.

(I think it's okay with French toast)

And

Even if the eat-in is worried,

There is also a menu where you can take out.

I think it's an ant to try it out.

Kashiwa mochi of Nihonbashihamacho 'Shigeru Chizuki'

[May Rain George] 16:00 on April 26, 2017

This week, the long-awaited sale of Kashiwa Mochi has started at "Shigeru Chizuki".

 

The kashiwa mochi of this shop is sweet and sweet. It has a reputation for its delicious rice cake that is not too soft. The wrapping method is a type that wraps mochi on the front of the leaf (some shops wrap it on the back side), and it costs 150 yen each.

IMG_5732.JPGIMG_5733.JPG

 

"Shigeru Chizuki" beside Hamacho Park is a small Japanese confectionery shop known to those who know it. The exterior doesn't look like a shop.

Handwritten paper of "Dorayaki" and "Kashiwa mochi" is stuck at the entrance. The first person may be a little difficult to enter.

The standard Japanese sweets are dorayaki, the middle, chestnut manju. It is seasonal and includes sakura mochi and Kashiwa mochi.

 

In particular, dorayaki (160 yen) is so large that I wonder how to put it in a bag (135g!) It's nice to eat.

IMG_4838.JPG
I asked Mr. Mochizuki, the owner of the look of a craftsman's character.

“How do you put this sack in your bag?”

Then my husband broke his face and said, “Once you get out of the bag, you will no longer enter.”

And this question has been distracted.

 


Shigeru Chitsuki (business hours) 9:30-18:00 (regular holidays) Saturdays, Sundays and holidays

IMG_5730.JPG

Chuo-ku is a city with many Japanese sweets shops.

In addition to Shigeru Chizuki, dorayaki is famous for the famous Kiyokazuken (Tomecho Hori) and the rabbit shop (Nihonbashi). In addition, "Hikokuro" (amazake Yokocho), "Kintsuba Meikatei" (Kodemmacho store) and "Eitaro Sohonpo" (Nihonbashi), "Yanagiya" (amazake Yokocho), "Golden potato "Judo" (Ningyocho), "Tachibana" (Ginza), "Soraya" (Ginza), "Akebono" (Ginza) of Shiratama Daifuku, "Miharado" of Shiosenbei.

Hamacho Park Cherry Blossoms 2017 Kiyomasa Ko-ji Temple

[Ginzo] 18:00 on April 24, 2017

In mid-April, I went to Hamacho Park to see Yae-zakura etc.

If you thought it was warm this year, the cold days continued, and the rain fell every other day in early April, so you may have wondered if the cherry blossoms could bloom.

Because it was such a weather, weeping cherry tree, which blooms at the end of March, is still blooming, and it was a competition with Yae-zakura. The building behind is Meijiza.

DSC04981.JPG

 The flowers of Chuo-ku, "Azalea, Satsuki" have also begun to bloom. The park is decorated with lovely flowers.

DSC04983.JPG

In this Hamacho Park, there is a “general sports center”, and the restaurant, Hamacho-tei, has a rich menu.

DSC04984.JPG

 And there is "Kiyomasa Ko-ji Temple" dedicated to Kato Kiyomasa.

DSC04989.JPG

According to "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia",

"In this place there was the Nakayashiki of Mr. Hosokawa, Kumamoto feudal lord, and after the Kato family was destroyed, Hosokawa, who took over the Kumamoto clan, was founded in 1861 by a recommendation from Kumamoto Honmyoji Temple to worship the Duke of Kato Kiyomasa. It was a temple in the mansion, but it is said that during the Edo period, ordinary people were allowed to worship. " It is recommended for a walk in the next good season.

 

 

 

Lots of good things! marche Hamacho (April 2005)

[Edamame] 18:00 on April 22, 2017

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

 

The other day (April 16 & 17), a market event in the neighborhood of our house

"Hamacho marche" was held!

IMG_2543-1.jpg

※Because it is an event that is held regularly,

 I think I will introduce you several times from now on.

 For this reason, "Year / Month" is included in the title.

 

This is the 8th event that started about two years ago.

There are many stores this time, and it is crowded.

It is located right next to the intersection of Hamacho Nakano Bridge.

Condominiums & Office Buildings & Shopping Complexes

This is the open space of "Tornale Nihonbashihamacho".

IMG_2544-1.jpg

 

First of all, let me be hungry...

It is a food stall that Ningyocho Shopping Street is opening!

IMG_2538-1.jpg

IMG_2542-1.jpg

The very popular Ningyocho steak last time!

This time it was a little line.

What a delicious restaurant with two major beef in Ningyocho

It is the meat of "Hiyama" and "Now half"!

It's usually a Takamine flower shop, but if this is 700 yen, I'm very satisfied.

The meat is also soft! It was delicious.

And in the neighbor

IMG_2539-1.jpg

There was also a small and cute seller, "Daikon no Araki".

Taste of radish

Azuki, the daughter of a 1-year-old child, seemed to have a favorite taste.


And Restaurant Elinor

Mama's special Toro borsiti

IMG_2546-1.jpg

Meat and vegetables really suck! It was

It is also true that it has sour cream!


Okay, then go shopping

First of all

IMG_2548-1.jpg

It looks delicious 100% straight orange juice!

IMG_2549-1.jpg

It was not too sweet, but I could taste the refreshing orange itself.

If you drink this, is it okay? ?

It's called "Darn furnace table".

http://dandanronosyokutaku.com/

At this shop

IMG_2551-1.jpg

amazake, which is also featured on TV, seems to be famous.

There were a lot of rare things that I couldn't see.


And...this is it

IMG_2552-1.jpg

Mr. Katsunori's Farm.

https://www.facebook.com/KatsunoRinaFarm/

We also deal with juices and sweets, focusing on the cultivation of pesticide-free vegetables.

I know the existence of this pesticide-free vegetable

And the carrots I bought for a trial were very sweet and delicious.

(Not the same as the price at the supermarket)

So, I thought something even more delicious...

I also tried a very sweet carrot juice.

I actually bought it and went home.

This turnip.

IMG_2553-1.jpg

The turnip can be softly chewed even for small children.

The old vegetables of my family.

The leaves seem to be fresh and crisp.

Fruits and leaves are combined into miso soup.

My daughter Azuki was also flattened.

It was delicious!

IMG_2547-1.jpg

Next time: July 2nd (Sun) & 3rd (Mon)

It's going to be.

I'm going to have fun shopping again.
