Discovery Trip Trip-A tour of the City of Commemorative Replica Ticket Collection-

[Tokyo Dumbo] October 17, 2018 18:00

For about one month from October 6 (Sat) to November 4 (Sun), a "walking railway trip" is being held to discover commemorative replicas of hard tickets (hard tickets) used in the past in two areas of Tokyo Station (Kyobashi-Marunouchi-Tokyo Station-Yaesu) and Nihonbashi.

 

  

I think there are many people who have seen the poster below.

It is a "walking railway trip" that goes around a total of 10 places, seven places in Chuo-ku and three places in Chiyoda-ku.

I went to Tokyo Danbo right away. Starting from Tokyo Square Garden, he conquered Tokyo Metro Kyobashi Station, Yaesu Underground Shopping Center and Tokyo Station area in Chuo-ku, and expeditions to Daimaru Tokyo Store, JR East Tokyo Station, KITTE and Chiyoda-ku.

  

The movement from the Yaesu side to the Marunouchi side passed through the North Freeway under Tokyo Station, but JR East Tokyo Station was located in the square of the ring at the south exit of Marunouchi, and I walked a chot.

I returned to the Yaesu side again and went around Nihonbashi Takashimaya SC, COREDO Nihonbashi, Kokubun ROJI Nihonbashi, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and Nihonbashi area in Chuo-ku. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

If you collect all kinds of commemorative replica tickets (hard tickets) and hard ticket folders in the area around Tokyo Station and Nihonbashi areas, you can participate in the lottery where you can win the completion prize and luxurious prizes at the Nihonbashi Information Center located at COREDO Muromachi 1.

It's suddenly getting cooler, but it's a good season to walk around. Please try a fun and affordable “Discovery Ticket Trip”!

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 17, 2018 12:00

mokusai201801.JPG

At the gallery "Gallery Yaesu Tokyo", located in Yaesu Underground Shopping Center, Yaesu 2-chome 1, Yaesu Underground Shopping Center No. 1, Yaesu Underground Shopping Center, a wooden Aya painting exhibition by artist Kazumi Miyakawa is being held.

mokusai201802.JPG

The period is from Monday, October 15 to 21 (Sun).

mokusai201803.JPG

"Ki-Aya painting" is a painting created by Mr. Miyagawa's own name, using the technique of "inlaying" made by cutting a thin wooden board (approximately 0.6 mm thick) and inlaying it.

mokusai201804.JPG

I remember seeing "Ki-Aya Painting" for the first time at Miyagawa's exhibition held at this gallery Yaesu in 2015, and I was impressed by its preciseness and beauty.

mokusai201805.JPG

At that time, the tree itself was not colored at all, and I heard from the person that it was completed as a single work by utilizing the natural color, grain, and wood surface of each tree. I was surprised.

mokusai201806.JPG

This time again, works that make use of the characteristics and beauty of the material itself are on display.

mokusai201807.JPG

(Shinagawa Month)

In addition to the certainty of technology, the unique calm atmosphere of the material being natural is overflowing throughout the gallery where the work is exhibited.

(Snow in Fukagawa)

At this exhibition, Utamaro trilogy "Snow, Moon, Flowers (Snow of Fukagawa, Tsuki of Shinagawa, Flowers of Yoshiwara)" is also on display.

After this exhibition, this trilogy will be stored and displayed at the Shimizu Minenzaka Art Museum in Sannenzaka in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, and this is the last one that you can appreciate this trilogy in Tokyo.

The event will be held until this weekend, so please drop in early.

[It's an event in the city of medicine] The story of "drugs" you need to know-value useful information-(Nihonbashimuro-cho)

[Dye] October 17, 2018 09:00

It suddenly became chilly.
It's becoming a season when I feel sick.
   
It's not limited to this season, but there's a lot of information about health on TV and the Internet, and everyone's interest is high.
Last year, the “self-medication tax system” was introduced in the medical expenses deduction, and the number of opportunities to choose and take medicine yourself has increased.
     
On the other hand, when you go to a hospital or pharmacy, you may not know what to ask about the medicine, or you may not know how to get information about the medicine.
    
A free event will be held where experts can answer such questions in an easy-to-understand manner!
    
The story of "drugs" you need to know-value useful information immediately-
   
 Date and time: Sunday, October 21, 2018 14:00 to 16:00
 Venue: Nomura Conference Plaza Nihonbashi
 (2-4-3, Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku, YUITO (Yuito) Nihonbashi Muromachi Nomura Building 5F)
     
 Program
 (1) Let's learn with a quiz! This and that of the "medicine" that can be done from today
  ・How to drink medicine
  ・I forgot to drink medicine, etc.
 (2) What I had trouble with "medicine" and how to solve it
  ・Side effects and side effects incidence
  ・Acquisition and handling of correct information
     
 Advisor on the day
  Masahiro Hayashi, Vice Chairman of the Pharmacists Association of Japan Hospital / General Manager of Pharmaceutical Department, Toranomon Hospital
  Mayumi Mochizuki Professor, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Keio University / Director, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Keio University Hospital
 
 Registration is not required, participation fee is free / Please come directly to the venue on the day.
 (Capacity is the first 250 people)
              
     
By the way, the venue for this event is Nihonbashi Muromachi, but the area around Nihonbashi Honmachi 3-chome is an area where medicinal merchants gathered in the town layout of the Edo period, and there are still many headquarters of major pharmaceutical companies and foreign pharmaceutical companies.
  
Medicines can only be useful if used correctly.
Why don't you think about the history of Nihonbashi, the city of medicine, and solve your daily concerns and questions about medicine?
   
I recommend it!

By the way, October is said to be the 3R promotion month set by the country.

The 3R is an acronym for Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. 3R activities are to reduce garbage as much as possible by working on these three Rs, thereby reducing garbage. The aim is to minimize the adverse effects of incineration and landfill disposal on the environment, and to create a society (= recycling-oriented society) that effectively and repeatedly uses limited earth resources.

Yamanto, a famous Japanese restaurant founded in 1902.

[Silver] October 15, 2018 12:00

 A short walk from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. Japanese food is famous for its delicious restaurant, so I wanted to come once. The shop is located on the first floor of the basement of the Yamanto Building, and there is an entrance to the building from either Yaesu Kitaguchi Street or Yojuin Street. It is a famous Japanese restaurant founded in 1902.

Lunch is open from 11:00, so it is very thankful for busy businessmen. We had lunch for one person at a large single board counter seat.

1539080802496 (400x225). jpg

I ordered a limited quantity of Hida beef Sukiyaki 1300 yen. 

Although it is not shown in the photo, it also comes with rice, red soup, and incense. Hida beef was very soft and delicious.

The new rice is very delicious andBag I replaced it with rice.

The man on the left is sashimi and Tenfura Gozen 1,200 yen, the woman sitting on the right is the sashimi five kinds of sashimi and a small bowl of 1,200 yen, and the two men sitting at the counter seat slightly away are shrimp Kakiage udon and mini bowl of 1,200 yen. I was eating deliciously. Next, I was wondering whether to make sashimi and tempura, or to make five kinds of sashimi. The price is as of this day and includes consumption tax. I'd like you to have another meal for free.

I received a leaflet for information.

There was a description of the reputable tuna and Hida beef.

Tuna: It is said that in 1902, the founder, Taro Kuni, provided the first sashimi to the customer. The way of serving and eating was later called Yamanto-zukuri and gained a reputation.

Hida beef: When the third generation owner visited Hida Takayama as a couple, he was fascinated by the deliciousness of Hida beef and ordered it to Manto with the desire to have as many people as possible eat it.

Address of the store: 1-7-4 Yamanto Building B1, Yaesu, Chuo-ku, please see this URL for details of the shop. http://nihombashi-yamato.jp/

Posting on the blog was approved by a master-style man who was in charge of the cash register.

 

 

Bunkyu founded! Chestnut steamed yokan once a year at Nihonbashi Kiyokazuken

[Shiba Inu] October 13, 2018 18:00


Kiyokazuken, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop located in Nihonbashi Horidome-cho. Founded in 1861, Takasugi Shinsaku and Sakamoto Ryoma ran around in the middle of late Tokugawa shogunate!


69E2BA47-9F48-48A1-A23F-4FA7DE83ED0D.jpg



Dorayaki and chestnut buns are very popular. It is also a sight of every morning that a line in suits is formed to purchase as a souvenir for business partners. How delicious is it? Speaking of which, I think it fits with the "most delicious dorayaki taste" that you think of!



Kiyokazuken sells it once a year around the day of physical education.


78A61782-E9F4-4DCA-BB6E-154767390349.jpg


Chestnut steamed yokan.



The reason for once a year is that all the processes are handmade by two craftsmen, so only a small amount can be made with a complete reservation. Reservations begin around September.


And this chestnut steamed yokan is here!



9AF8488B-0775-43E1-B83E-0F5DE5F08355.jpgIt's the presence of this chestnut.



65A6CE31-4FAF-49EA-AEE1-154727078F3D.jpg



The density of the sauce is thick, but the mouth is smooth and the chestnuts are fluffy.


Because it is soft, if you do not handle it carefully, the shape will collapse.


This is "Kurimushi Yokan"...I'm going to eat it silently. If you like sweet food, please try it by all means....!! You can have time to think about the coming autumn while drinking tea slowly.

And in the neighborhood of Hirudome-cho, "Nihonbashi Ebisu Kobetara City" will be held soon.


A0FDEB1E-6D7C-442C-BA5C-33A1EA32BCE6.jpgWe are currently preparing.


It's two days, October nineteenth and twentyth. It is a lively city festival that even those who are not interested in pickling can enjoy very much. By making good use of the narrow alleys running vertically and horizontally, the sun goes down and creates a mysterious sight.
