[I love Chuo-ku! 84.0MHz Hello Radio City (Central FM)

[Dye] August 31, 2017 09:00

It's September already...It's fast.
It has been three and a half years since he became a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association. My son, who was a baby, is almost four years old.

    

    

The other day, I went to radio recording, one of the correspondent's activities.
In one corner of the program called "Hello! RADIO CITY" in Chuo FM, we will introduce the contents of the correspondent blog (`・ ・ ω ・ ́)!

Central FM. The studio on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Square Garden.
You can see it from the outside.

    

    
It's actually the fifth recording.

    

When I was recording for the first time, I never thought I would be talking on the radio, so I was so thrilled in front of the microphone and I don't really remember what I said. (Is it now?...Laugh)

    

But every time, navigator JUMI leads me brightly, and I'm not good at speaking in public, talking about perapella, laughing, or speaking in public than I thought, but it's fun to talk here.

    
However, the last sentence "I love, Chuo-ku!" For some reason, it gets shy and becomes a strange low tension (>_<)
I really love it! !Laugh

Navigator JUMI
As a working mom, she is a senior and a longing woman.

    

    
Also, there are not many opportunities for correspondents to meet each other, so it is one of the pleasures to be able to join together when recording. When you meet face-to-face and ask the story, "Oh, this person is a blog name XX!"

     
This time, I was with "Sumida Fireworks".
The blog of "Sumida Fireworks" thought that the photos were particularly fashionable and cool.
I was happy to be able to take pictures and talk about cameras when writing blogs (*^^*)

    

    
In such a case, correspondents write blogs and talk on the radio about Chuo-ku.

    

Central FM "Hello! RADIO CITY"
There are new discoveries by listening to the backstory of the blog, etc., and it is recommended.☆
You can feel the charm of Chuo-ku more and more.

"Books Sushi Kaima" GOOD Morning at Kyobashi

[Tokyo Dumbo] August 29, 2017 14:00

The area around Kyobashi Station is convenient, 5-10 minutes walk to Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Nihonbashi, and new hotel openings and construction are flourishing.

 

Here are some shops where you can eat delicious breakfast near Kyobashi Station.

 

The restaurant is the sushi restaurant "Books Sushi Kaima" with its main store in Osaka, and is the first restaurant in Tokyo. Located on the first floor of the "First Cabin" Kyobashi store, a simple accommodation facility inspired by the first class of passenger aircraft.

There are two menus: a set of plenty of shellfish juice and thick rolls and a set of nyumen and Inarizushi.

At the new Shiraki counter, I had a set of shellfish juice today.

Shellfish such as clams and clams came out in a large bowl. I can't fit into the shell!

The heat and humidity permeated the body of summer batter. I'm going to work well today. I'm going to see you! !  

 

I'll come in at night.

Japan's best "Fuku no Sake"

[Koedo Itabashi] August 28, 2017 09:00

"What is the image of a woman who drinks sake?"

Yes, a woman who looks good in Japanese clothes. It's cool around your eyes.

And a career woman who can work.

It's like you can use a lot of things.

All of them have a clear, dry impression.

At the end of work, such a person would never be Cassis orange.

When I see daiginjo doing "clearly", I get rid of it.

In the past, sake was once a tool for drunkenness that dispels the worries of work.

That's why sake is now transformed into a woman's item that can be made.

Certainly, Japanese sake in recent years has become much more delicious.

Light in the mouth. Rich scent.

It makes a woman who enjoys sake more gorgeous.

It is even said that women are ahead of the trend of sake.

 

Then, "Which sake is good?"

Let's say this first.

The one you are drinking now is the best.

If you have one hundred sake, you have one hundred tastes.

If there is a thousand appetizers, it will be a thousand spread.

If there are ten people, there will be ten ways of life.

Even when you are alone, sake can be delicious, spicy, and bitter.

 

The gold prize of the "National young sake Appraisal Fair" will serve as a guide to encounter good sake.

This year, Fukushima Prefecture has become the best in Japan for the fifth consecutive year in terms of the number of gold medals by prefecture.

Sake is supported by good rice, good water, and good climate, and is produced by the dedication of the brewery and the brewer.

Big names are not necessarily exhibited at the fair.

However, it can be said that it is a region that has sincerely and stubbornly faced sake brewing.

Fukushima Prefecture has won 22 gold prizes.

Even if you drink it from one end, you will need a lot of effort.

 

Nihonbashi Fukushimakan MIDETTE, located at 4-3-16 Nihonbashi Muromachi.

The sake corner here is substantial.

It has a large storage room, and each one is carefully waiting for the turn.

This week's drink comparison set is offered for 500 yen.

There are three brands on glass sake ware, but it is perfect to enjoy the difference in taste.

It's also interesting to pick up the eat-in Fukushima food.

 

Fukushima Prefecture has released a map of restaurants in the 23 wards, which handles sake from the prefecture, as Japan's best Fukushima sake "Fuku no Sake".

It is a great achievement for Fukushima, which is not good at advertising activities.

It has been used as a first-class in-flight liquor or as a liquor at various international conferences, and its ability has been firmly established.

 

I am keenly aware of the sake of fortune.

When I first visited my wife's parents,

"Greetings are good. You must drink first."

My father-in-law, a kendo teacher, went on drinking.

I also lived in an athletic meet and lived in an unreasonable workplace culture that says, "If you can work, you can drink."

He rectified his house and received a cup, with the fear of being defeated by such a father.

It was the best time to drink in my life.

At the tempo of "Oh," "I have you," "Please," and "Oh,"

I poured into my throat as if swimming in the front.

Tokuri turned into a bottle and Inoguchi turned into a glass.

The difference between heavyweights and flyweights came out every time the bottle was empty.

My stomach turned upside down and began to rampage.

 

At the end of the Warring States, Tahee Mori of the Kuroda family retainer compared the sake with Masanori Fukushima.

It is said that he took the famous spear "Japan-go".

I was also in a buzzy figure, but I got engaged with my father-in-law's words, "I ask my daughter."

All of the empty sake bottles were labeled with Aizu in Fukushima.

It was a warm hospitality.

It became my "sake of fortune".

 

 

folk art Exhibition, Nihonbashi Takashimaya From August 30

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] August 25, 2017 14:00

Many people return home during summer vacation and spend their time locally. I was one of them. My local Kurashiki is a tourist destination represented by the Ohara Museum of Art, which was opened in a local city instead of Tokyo in 1930, but is also characterized by many folk art stores. It is not a souvenir shop, but a shop that sells locally used vessels and handicraft works.

 

For Kurashiki Glass Blog jpgMy son's Kurashiki glass 

 

These are Kurashiki glass, which is rich in the warmth of blown glass.

 

For blogs. jpgThe left is the grandchild's squid, and the right is the grandma's squid. 

 

Here's a go. It's a handbag that's woven with a gogusa. Kurashiki used to be a production area of Igusa. It is a shopping basket made between the work of tatami mats.

 

I've never felt strange about the fact that there are many folk art stores, but in recent years I often see that the second generation successor has been featured in a magazine that proposes natural lifestyles.

 

Kurashiki Glass is my son. I'm a grandchild. Isn't it very rare to have a proper successor in the world of folk art?

 

With the ingenuity of the times, the current cup of Kurashiki glass is thinner with a good mouthfeel. Today's squid is tightly knitted with the handle.

 

I have the opportunity to see such folk art works in Tokyo. 

 

Postcard guide for blogs. jpg 

The folk art exhibition will be held at Nihonbashi Takashimaya from Wednesday, August 30 to Monday, September 11.

 

When I looked into "folk art," 

In 1926, Soetsu Yanagi, Shoji Hamada, Kanjiro Kawai and others proposed that living tools rooted in daily life have healthy beauty according to their needs, and named the everyday life tools created by unnamed craftsmen "folk art".

 

When Yanagi tried to donate folk art collected from all over the country to the Tokyo National Museum, it was refused by the museum and opened the Japan folk art Museum in Komaba, Tokyo with the help of businessman Ohara.

 

Now, why there are many folk art stores in Kurashiki, and every time I go to the Ohara Museum of Art, I follow the route, and I think I have solved the mystery of the discomfort around the folk art Museum after admiring Lenoir, Rouault and Elgleco.

 

 Please take a look at Japanese handicrafts.

 

 

 

 

Delicious lunch of CUL DE SAC (Kurdosac) French 

[Silver] August 25, 2017 09:00

 The Tohoku region of Nihonbashi Honishi-cho is located in the area facing Kaji-cho, Chiyoda-ku, and is home to many restaurants. Today, I came to explore the terrain of the neighborhood of Honishi-cho.

I was fascinated by the store name "Cul de sac" and entered lunch. It's a shop at the end of the back.

DSC07146 (400x225). jpg 

 The name of this store is the same as the name of the French territory San Martan Island, where I was stationed 40 years ago. The meaning means "dead-end" or "bag alley". Topographically, restaurants are lined up in and around the large building facing public roads.

It was just around 13 o'clock, so I was invited to the store and recommended salad, freshly baked roast beef about 1 cm thick,

DSC07150 (400x225). jpg

I had a cafe and dessert chiffon cake.

DSC07151 (400x225). jpg

There are many young female customers because they offer delicious food at reasonable prices, and two French male customers came to the next table. One is the same as me. The other men were ordering vissisoi soup, French pork saute. )

The lunch was tax-included and was ¥1,000 (as of 20170818), and there were many wine bottles in the store, so I decided to come in the evening this time. The address of the shop is 4-4-16 Nihonbashi Honishicho. Please check here for access to the store. http://www.id3.jp/cul/

 

 

Kurashiki Vegetable Dyeing Exhibition [Gallery Yaesu, Tokyo]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] August 24, 2017 14:00

krsk001.JPG

At the gallery "Gallery Yaesu Tokyo" in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center, "Kurashiki Vegetable Dyeing Exhibition-Clothing, Food, Gen-" is being held.

krsk000.jpg

I am impressed that "~ Clothing, food, also, source ~" is a wonderful subtitle instead of "medicine food source".

krsk008.JPG

When you enter the gallery, you will find women's clothes in the center of the venue, and dodon and onion mountains at their feet.

It's surprising that this kind of taste comes out of the onion skin.

krsk002.JPG

We asked Yuriko Okubo, the representative of Kurashiki Vegetable Dyeing Research Institute.

Mr. Okubo uses vegetables grown in-house in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture as dyes, uses natural material fabrics, and makes specialty products by hand dyeing.

krsk003.JPG

The works on display are attractive because of handmade warmth and indebted texture dyed with natural dyes.

krsk004.JPG

It's the ultimate eco-friendly to use onion skins and eggplant skins () that should normally be thrown away for dyes.

krsk005.JPG

This is the first time that an exhibition has been held since each item is handmade one by one, and this exhibition is a valuable opportunity to see "Kurashiki Vegetable Dye".

The event will be held from Monday, August 21 to 27 (Sun).

krsk006.JPG

In addition, we received your consent for the photography in the gallery, and gave a friendly and polite explanation of the interview.

Thank you very much
