Notice of reopening during the closing sale due to relocation-Hokkaido hoodist-

[rosemary sea] April 11, 2017 16:00

The rosemary sea is a media mix of "gifts and I enjoy myself".

 

DSC02196a.jpgHokkaido Hoodist, who handles more than 1,000 items with carefully selected ingredients unique to Hokkaido, will relocate the shop from October 2004.

The notice as shown on the left arrived at the home of Tyama-san No. 2 (from Hokkaido) of the Rosemari Food Lipo Corps.

I hear it's a news to the members.

Hokkaido Frontier Co., Ltd. Hokkaido Hoodist Yaesu store manager Mr. Watanabe gave permission to publish the article.

 

Until April 23 (Sun), a closing sale due to the relocation is being held. The price is 10% off. (* Some products are excluded from discount.)

DSC02171a.jpg DSC02177a.jpg

The shops are always crowded with customers, but during the closing sale, more customers are coming to the store with a 1% discount.

In the image, there are few customers, but this is the result of taking a picture of the product shelf with sufficient timing. There were always queues at the three cash registers.

DSC02180a.jpg DSC02187a.jpg

A lot of products are expected to be sold out just before the store closes. Please purchase it as soon as possible.

This time it's closed sale, so I don't know which products are left.

Therefore, I will omit the explanation of each product this time.

I will be interviewed again after the reopening, so I look forward to begging.

The bear of the mascot at the entrance has also announced that "Selling 10% OFF".

Spring Nihonbashi Osanpo Tour with a series of children Part 2: Nihonbashi "Japan Road Mark"

[Edamame] April 11, 2017 09:00

"Spring Nihonbashi Osanpo Tour" was an alumni association with friends.

 
After lunch, take a short walk.

Let's go to "Nihonbashi" just outside the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store.

IMG_2487-1.jpg

The reaction of elementary school students is "bridge?" "Where?" "What's the river? ?」

A river runs under the highway, saying, "Oh! That's right?"

I can't see the water unless I go close.

Was it a bit difficult to understand?

What was maintained in front of Mitsukoshi was the "Place of the Original Mark"

That's right there.

IMG_2488-1.jpg

This is a replica of the "Japan Road Mark".

This is the reference point for Japanese roads.

That's why it's like this

IMG_2490-1.jpg



IMG_2489-1.jpg

How many kilometers from here is the name of the city of Japan~.

I'd like to talk about that.

"There's so much to Sapporo!"

The elementary school students are a little excited.

And yeah. Adults are also surprised by the kanji character "Thr".

"I'll read a kilometer with this!"

A character that combines "rice" representing meters and "thousand" representing kilograms (= 1,000 times).

It's almost no longer used today, but it's almost never used.

I tried to express concepts that had never been found in Japan before.

It is a character that shows the hardships of Meiji period's predecessors.

I thought it again.


Then go to the middle of the bridge.

IMG_2492-1.jpg

From a distance, you can see something of metal buried in the middle of the road.

"That!" "That's there!"

It's the "real thing" of the road marker.

When I looked up,

IMG_2493-1.jpg

In the form of sticking to the highway

There is a pillar that informs the position of the road mark.

IMG_2494-1.jpg

There's also a way to tell you like this.

It's a bit interesting.

Because there is a highway on top, it's a way to display it.

I was a little impressed.

Tokyo Infiorata Week in Kyobashi

[Mill] April 10, 2017 14:00

Infiorata, which draws beautiful pictures on the ground using colorful petals.

In Chuo-ku, it is held every year at Triton Square in Harumi, so many people may know it.


The other day, I encountered a place being held in Kyobashi.

This is the square in front of Tokyo Square Garden.


DSC_4631.JPG


"Hundred Famous Edo Views" drawn by Hiroshige Utagawa, who lived in Kyobashi.

The figure of "Kyobashi Takegashi" in it was drawn wonderfully.


DSC_4637.JPG


The bamboo part uses carnation stems, and even the texture and neat arrangement are realistically expressed.

The petals spilled from the cherry blossoms in full bloom at Tokyo Square Garden are cute Aya.

Unfortunately, the weather was amazing, but many people stopped and watched it at a glance.


And in the square in front of Kyobashi Edgran, there is a picture of a mikoshi and a town fire extinguisher.


DSC_4627.JPG


A town fire extinguisher made by Echizen Ooka to protect the town of Edo from fire.

The current area in Kyobashi is said to have been the place where the second group "Segumi" was placed.


DSC_4628.JPG


Matoi is a symbol of the honor of the town fire extinguisher.

The layered Komagata's coat of "Segumi" was clearly expressed with white petals.

It is a pattern that feels the essence and pride of Edo.


This Infiorata is the work of "Tokyo Infiorata Week", which will be held for the first time this year.

It seems that it is an event to create a welcome carpet colored with petals all over Tokyo with the hands of citizens in order to entertain visitors from Japan and abroad.

Various places in Tokyo are the venue.

Tokyo Infiorata Week


The exhibition at Kyobashi is from April 8th to 12th.

Please take a look at the beautiful art of petals.

 

 

Spring Nihonbashi Osanpo Tour with a series of children Part 1: "Miko-sama Western Food" at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store

[Edamame] April 10, 2017 09:00

Nice to meet you!

My name is Edamame, who has become a new correspondent since April.

 

It has been about a year since I came to Chuo-ku.

It seems like a short time

I've been able to meet a lot of wonderful things in the past year.

It's a great deal, so it's a great deal.

I would like to introduce such a wonderful thing to you as much as possible.

In addition, my home has a daughter, Azuki, who is a little more two years old.

Basically, I think there will be many articles from the perspective of moms of the child-rearing generation.

We hope that it will be a little useful information for those who are raising children.

 
 

Well, it's the main part.

Actually, I reported on my SNS that I became a correspondent.

Friends contacted me one after another, saying, "Because it's a great deal, guide me to the city!"

As a result, the story went on too much.

Let's have an alumni party during the cherry blossom season!

That's right.

The location is Nihonbashi.

And all the participants are with children.

The biggest one is the second grade of elementary school. The bottom is a 0-year-old child.

This is the beginning of our spring Nihonbashi walk tour!

 
 

First of all, for lunch.

The place where "Miko-sama Western food" was born.

I've been to Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

There is also a description in the official text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification.

We will visit the Cafe Restaurant Landmark on the 5th floor of the new building.

In fact, some of the children who came here are allergic.

But it's okay.

If you tell the staff at the entrance to that effect, please.

・Check whether the contents of the menu contain allergens

・Proposals and consultations for things that can be replaced if there is a bad thing

 (e.g., if your child lunch hamburger is NG.

    →Increase the amount of sausages than usual, etc.)

You can do it.

Mom is also safe.

By the way, my daughter, Azuki, eats anything. It's refreshing.
 

Such azuki's lunch today...

IMG_2440-1.jpg

Of course, this is because you came to the "birthplace".

"Children's lunch".

IMG_2441-1.jpg

Oh, the vessel is the shape of a train!

Moreover, it blows smoke with dry ice!

All of the children who came here were cheering.

In addition, the rice part is divided into two layers, ketchup rice and white rice.

I think the area that looks like Mount Fuji covered with snow is also wonderful.

Of course, the taste is also delicious.

Azuki, bakubaku and hamburgers were more energetic than usual.

And the adult.

IMG_2439-1.jpg

Here you. "Adult lunch" "Landmark plate".

Should it be called a rich child lunch for adults?

There is a foegra on top of the hamburger, or

Shrimp fly is also a head shrimp.

It is a content where you can enjoy a little luxury.

I'm satisfied, satisfied.


It's a restaurant in the department store, so it's also Japanese, Western, and Chinese.

There are plenty of menus.

Elementary school children were eating spaghetti Napolitan for one adult.

Next to it, there were children who were eating soba.

It's also nice to be able to ask for what you like.

That's why everyone had a satisfying lunch.

Let's go to see the cherry blossoms by Edo bus

[Silver] April 9, 2017 18:00

 The cherry blossoms finally bloomed in April.

For those who say, "I'm not good at walking, so cherry blossom viewing is a bit!", We recommend that you go to the cherry blossom viewing by Edo bus.

 As we went on the north circulation service course to Nihonbashi from Chuo-ku government office, we report. (Departing at 10:00 on April 6, about an hour round course)

 In the cherry blossoms near the Chuo-ku government office, the cherry blossoms at Kameibashi Park and Shukubashi Park spread large branches and are in full bloom. I think you can enjoy the flowers until around April 9th.

DSC04964.JPG

 And in the planting beside the capital height in front of the main building of the Ginza Capital Hotel, "Red and White Hana Momo" is in full bloom. This will also be beautiful and gorgeous until around April 9th.

DSC04951.JPG

 Well, I'm leaving by Edo bus. The cherry blossoms at Sakuragawa Park on the right, on the side of Shintomi Kuminkan in front of Hatchobori Station, can be seen. It is close to full bloom.

At the north exit of Tokyo Station, the entrance to Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St. and the row of cherry blossom trees in front of Hotel Ryumeikan are beautiful. I like the Japanese-style buffet lunch at the Hotel Ryumeikan.

DSC04938.JPG

The Edo Bus starts in front of the Bank of Japan, and also passes through the Edo Sakura-dori St., which extends between Mitsui Main Building and Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi to Choredo Nihonbashi.

"Edo-dori St.", a road from Shin-Nihonbashi Station to Kodemmacho, is lined with neat and pure white "Magnolia kobus" street trees.

DSC04944.JPG

 The Edo bus showed the cherry blossoms next to Cored Muromachi and was able to see the street trees of "Magnolia kobus" again at the intersection of Kodemmacho.

 In the direction of Ningyocho, in front of Meijiza, "Yae Red Weeping" still remains a bud. In Hamacho Park beyond that, "Yoshino cherry tree" must have been in full bloom.

I got off here, had a cherry blossom viewing at Hamacho Park, shop at amazake Yokocho, and then enjoyed the cherry blossoms in front of Suitengu-mae and in front of the Royal Park Hotel.

DSC04948.JPG

I thought it would have been nice to get on the Edo bus again at Nihonbashi Kumin Center.

 After that, the row of cherry blossom trees in front of Ningyocho Station and the row of cherry trees in front of Nihonbashi Elementary School were also wonderful.

In this way, I enjoyed cherry blossom viewing on the one-hour Edo bus. The flowering of cherry blossoms this year was warm, and after the declaration of flowering, the cold days continued for about two days, so "weeping cherry tree is still buds" and "Oshima Sakura and Yoshino cherry tree also seem to have individual differences."

I think that the buds are still red weeping, even if they bloom this weekend, can be enjoyed until mid-April. (The condition of the flowers is forecast as of April 6 and in the near future.)

 The price of the Edo bus is 100 yen per time. A one-day ticket that you can get on and off is 300 yen. In the car, you can get "Edo Bus MAP Sakura Newsletter".
