Sekiyama is a charming sushi (store) where Kazuha blooms.

[Silver] April 22, 2017 12:00

 At the intersection with Daimon Street, about 100 meters from amazake Yokocho in Ningyocho, there is Osaka Sushi Shop and Sekiyama. For a long time, the cherry blossoms in front of this store were interested in what kind of flowers would bloom and were looking forward to it.

 In mid-April, Yae-zakura with lots of white flowers, Kazuha was in full bloom. Today, I was fascinated not only by sushi but also by Yae-zakura.

"Kazuha (Ichiyo)" is a double and light red Satozakura (oshima cherry). The pistil changes like a thin leaf (foliage), so it was named like this.

If you introduce the shop, it is a shop specializing in take-out. Various combinations of pressed sushi such as mackerel, salmon, sea bream, etc. are sold, thick rolled sushi and tea cloth sushi are sold. Please drop in once.

 

 

Minatoya Esoshi Paper Store Nihonbashihamacho Store

[Silver] April 21, 2017 09:00

 I got off at Hamacho Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line, and I'm looking for it today.

I visited "Yumeji Takehisa Special Gallery Minatoya Ekusa Paper Store".

When you open the glass door, you will hear a quiet voice and say "Welcome." It's a calm and elegant voice of Kyoto language. Mr. Takako Ohira, my wife, responded.

 Does the shop have a connection with Yumeji Takehisa? I asked, but my husband was a big fan of Yumeji Takehisa and started this shop.

Here in Hamacho, it has been more than 20 years since the store opened.

With permission, I photographed Yumeji's work in the store. The original color printing work is very nice. Indeed, it's a Taisho Roman.

Small items such as postcards are also sold, and it is also friendly to your wallet.

DSC04977.JPG

It is said that a calendar of Yumeji works is released every year.

This time, it's not Yumeji's work, but I bought "Gauze Muffler".

It is similar to the pattern of a kimono that looks like a woman in the picture is wearing. How about "Gauze Muffler" that is gentle to your skin?

 The introduction of the shop can also be found in the monthly Nihonbashi, January 2017 issue, and the Free Paper Nihonbashi Goyomi April issue.

 The address of the shop is 2-18-5, Nihonbashi-Hamacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo (Meijiza-mae), telephone 03-5640-5978.

 

 

Osteopath where you can go with children! Asahi Osteopath

[Edamame] April 20, 2017 09:00

It's "Edamame", a correspondent with children.

I'm always taking care of you this time

This is an introduction of "Asahi Osteopath".

IMG_2527-1.jpg

As soon as I moved to Chuo-ku, there was no such thing.

My shoulders and hips hurt so much ...

Originally, I had extremely stiff shoulders and back pain before pregnancy.

It will not accelerate in the midst of being chased by raising children.

It is easy to be leaning forward when breastfeeding → I got stiff shoulders.

The weight of my child gets heavier little by little → Low back pain.

Because the pelvis is open at birth

It's a time when the body's distortion is easy to come out.

Moms who are raising children tend to be quite tattered ...

But I can go with my daughter, Azuki, who was 9 months old at the time.

I thought it was a massage shop.


In such a case


"Osteopath where you can go with children"

The character of the flyer.

That was my encounter with Asahi Osteopath.

How kind to children ...

IMG_2525-1.jpg

A stroller is OK to enter the entrance

If there is a step in the building, you may not be able to get over it unexpectedly.

Thank you for making it flat.


There is a space for nursing and changing diapers

IMG_2522-1.jpg

It is safe because it can be prepared even if you forget your wipes.


Kids space before reception

IMG_2531-1.jpg

There are a lot of toys, too.

There are even DVD players.

IMG_2526-1.jpg

Above all, the receptionist is a veteran mom.

Of course, it is safe to respond to children who are undergoing treatment.

You can talk a little about childcare before and after the treatment.


At first, she was crying as soon as she left her mom.

Now I'm quite familiar with this place,

When you come here, you can play with toys.

Even after mom's treatment is over

"Oh, now? Do you want to play a little more?"

I'm just showing my face


Well, this is the treatment booth.

IMG_2524-1.jpg

The partition with the next booth is not a curtain.

The place on the wall is also a point where you can receive treatment with peace of mind.

I'll change my clothes to the clothes I'll prepare here and wait.



The staff are all women.

So, you can feel free to consult about women's physical problems.

And everyone, it's powerful.

I think it's also a place where you can get energy.

Oh, many men come to the hospital!

Because she is a woman, she doesn't have enough power at the time of treatment.

You seem to be training very much.



It's not just a massage shop, but an osteopath.

And because the staff members are national qualified holders who know the structure of the body properly.

"Why did the waist hurt?"

"How can I avoid it?"

I would appreciate it if you could take a step in to that point.

IMG_2530-1.jpg

I have back pain, not only my lower back.

It's also important to treat other muscles that are connected to your waist.
IMG_2529-1.jpg

In addition, for example.

Edamame "I'm walking in the park for 2 hours every day with Azuki, why do my legs get sick?"

"Are you able to use your ankles?"

Edamame "... yeah! If you walk according to the stride width of Azuki, the ankles do not move at all! "

・・Since then, I have been consciously walking with ankles moving.


I tend to postpone my body.

If you don't reset the distortion regularly, the rest will be hard.

I'll take care of you a lot for you in the future.

Thank you very much for your attention!

"Arakusaya", a specialty store in furoshiki

[Edamame] April 18, 2017 18:00

The other day, I was introduced on a correspondent blog.

/archive/2017/04/post-4179.html

/archive/2017/03/-31649-nihonbashi-sakura-gate.html

The event "Nihonbashi Sakura Menu Walk" in the Nihonbashi Sakura Festival.

(It was an event until April 9)


I'm looking at the pamphlet and there are a lot of nice menus.

I was looking at it.

IMG_2521-1.jpg

From a point of view, it's okay for a one-year-old daughter, Azuki, to go.

I wonder if there are any shopping and dining spots.


So I found the character of "Furoshiki specialty store Karakusaya".

IMG_2520-1.jpg

Photographs of furoshiki with cherry blossom pattern are also gorgeous and wonderful!

And it's not so far from my home!


That's why I decided to go.

IMG_2486-1.jpg

There is a shop just a little from the Ningyocho intersection.

When you enter the shop...

IMG_2483-1.jpg

You will be greeted by a plastic bottle that you have made in the furoshiki.

I'm surprised to be able to wrap it so cute.


And then

IMG_2484-1.jpg

It was presented to those who passed the Chuo-ku Tourism Test.

"Chuo-ku Senshafuroshiki" was also placed.

The old town name and the things related to it are illustrated like a thousand-shafu bill.

It's fun just to look at it.

When I received a notice of acceptance in March, I got it for the first time.

I remembered that I was a little impressed.


Click here for the "Sakura pattern furoshiki" on the pamphlet.

IMG_2485-1.jpg

Even if you say cherry blossoms in a bite, there are various patterns and colors, so you are lost.

The pink is cute, but the cool colors will match the coming season ...

This is the place where you shop like this.

IMG_2499-1.jpg

Furoshiki with cherry blossom pattern (100% cotton) and

This is a celebration bag made of furoshiki.

After using it as a celebration bag, you can use it as a furoshiki for a long time.

It's a product that is friendly to the global environment.

I'm going to use it for my friend's wedding soon.


Actually, this "arabesque shop".

With the support of the Japan Furoshiki Association, we also hold a wrapping class.

http://www.japan-furoshiki.jp/culture.html#kantou

I'm clumsy.

IMG_2501-1.jpg

In the pamphlet explaining how to wrap it in at the time of purchase

I'm going to practice a little.

[Higashinihombashi] Recommended Thai food "Bankoklara Cafeteria"

[Ino-chan] April 18, 2017 09:00

I came to find a shop with a fun name. The name is Bancoklara Cafeteria.

I'm a Thai restaurant in Higashinihombashi.

The word "Larara" seems to have the meaning of "Nobi-ri" and "Raku-ni" in Thailand.

IMG_7279.JPG

The shop is on the second floor, so we go up the stairs. The clerk greeted me with a smile.

The interior of the store was very comfortable with a nostalgic atmosphere.

IMG_7271.JPG

 

Well, what I chose from the lunch menu...

Popular number one "Kao Mangai = steamed chicken and cooked rice (with soup)"

The sauce with ginger was delicious.

IMG_0080.jpg

 

"Gaigapao = chicken ground meat and holly basil fried rice (with fried egg)"

I'm full of stomach.

IMG_0084.jpg

"Tom Yam Kun Mini United States Noodles"

The soup had an exquisite balance between spicy and sour taste. I want to eat it again!

There was also a "mini-mini draft beer" that would be nice when you wanted to drink a little bit.

IMG_0076.jpg

 

There are plenty of mini-size side menus, so you can enjoy various combinations.

The lunch time on this day was not interrupted by customers.

There were a lot of people. It was very popular.

Lara Cafeteria, "Nobi-ri" and "Lak-ni" are recommended!
