A little tea break - a cool, cold tea promotion―

[Ino-chan] August 4, 2018 14:00

 

Hot days continue, isn't it?

In this season, cold tea is indispensable for the refrigerator in our home.

 

_DSC9067.JPG

 

The photo shows green tea with water.

When it comes to watering, just pour water into the tea leaves packed in tea packs and cool it.

It would be better if you brew it properly, but it's very easy because it's everyday.

Still, it's delicious enough.

 

_DSC9028.JPG

 

My favorite tea leaves are powdered tea from teahouse, whose head office is located in Kyoto.

Recommended at an affordable price that you can drink easily.

In Chuo-ku, you can buy it at Nihonbashi Takashimaya or Ginza Mitsukoshi.

 

_DSC8968.JPG

 

Both glasses and pitchers were purchased in Ningyocho Setono City.

 

The cool light glass is perfect for the feeling of cold tea. It seems to go well with cold sake.

I forgot the price because it was a long time ago, but it was a super expensive item.

There is no doubt.

 

_DSC9005.JPG

 

The pitcher is made of HARIO heat-resistant glass.

It can be used not only for watering but also for cooling hot-brewed hojicha or boiled barley tea.

 

By the way, this year's Ningyocho Seto City finally approached next week.

Everyone, please go out to search for bargains.

 

When shopping in the scorching sun, hydrate frequently with cold tea even if you are not thirsty.

If you sweat a lot, please take moderate salt as a measure against heat stroke.

 

 

Ningyocho Setono City

 3 days from the first Monday of August every year 2018 August 6 (Mon) to 8 (Wed).

 From 10:00 to 20:00 ※It tends to start early in rainy weather or last day.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The event was held on July 27 in the neighboring Chiyoda-ku.
At the "Otemachi / Marunouchi / Yurakucho Summer Festival 2018 Marunouchi de Uchimizu"
Deputy Minister of the Environment Naomi Tokaichi had an interesting talk about Chuo-ku.
That is, we started a "cool share" model business in Nihonbashi (39 locations including complex facilities, post offices, and megabanks)!

Currently, at seven antenna shops in Nihonbashi, "Summer Vacation Oedo Nihonbashi Tour Antenna Shop stamp rally 2018" is being held.
This is until September 2nd (Sun), so why not join stamp rally while cooling during the cool share period?

The sound of cool summer chimes

[Asunaro] August 1, 2018 14:00

A wind chime that makes you feel cool as a summer tradition.

The origin of the wind chime depends on the four corners of the temple.

It is a bronze wind dot, and as far as the sound can be heard.

It was believed that there would be no disaster.

 Kazetaku. jpg

It turned from evil to something that feels cool.

In the Edo period, wind chimes spread to the public.

Glass products, which were expensive, became cheaper, and Edo wind chimes were used.

It was a while after entering the Meiji era that it reached its peak.

 Wind chimes. jpg

There are about 200 Edo wind chimes on the path of Fukutoku no Mori.

It is hung and plays a cool tone.

Please enjoy live performances for a limited time.
