　On December 19, for the third consecutive year, "I came to listen to chorus by students of St. Luke's College of Nursing.

Everyone rushed during the daytime break in the rain and healed the people who visited with a clear chorus.

There are four songs that sang: "Elderly People", "Saint Night", "Akahana no Nakai", and "Santa came to town".

 
It was a really fun time when my heart was washed. Thank you for the wonderful song present.

Merry Christmas to you　

  
By the way, the mini health course is by dental hygienists Mayumi Takimoto and Keiko Sugiyama

The lecture was "Healthy longevity is from your mouth", and the subtitle was "Tooth energy, bone energy, brain energy".

 
According to the relationship between the number of remaining teeth and the total medical expenses, if the number of remaining teeth is large, the total medical expenses will be reduced.

People with healthy gums and people with more than 20 teeth are about 200,000 yen.

It was introduced that people with low teeth and diabetes cost about 310,000 yen.

　Also, in the talk about the relationship between the number of residual teeth and dementia, we are talking about the relationship between dementia.

When the teeth are low, the irritation that the chewing exercise does not have to the brain, so it is easy to develop dementia.

I've been listening seriously to the importance of keeping the oral cavity clean and to clean my tongue.

　

　

　I was told that the exercise was also important, and decided to do it every day immediately.

Well, this year is a little more.　Keep your precious teeth and mouth clean, eat delicious food, and have a good New Year.

When I was a child, the names such as "patissier" or "chocolatier" were not known at all, and Christmas decoration cakes were the standard ones decorated with fresh cream with strawberries.

Today, Bushdonoel in the shape of logs and various cakes using plenty of chocolate, chestnuts, fruits, etc. have appeared, and the cake department store at this time seems to be a jewelry box more than ever.

If you are worried until the day of Christmas, or if you booked a popular shop earlier, you may have to do it?

 

In my home, a few years ago, one of my family had to refrain from fresh cream and chocolate for health reasons.

I thought it was a pity that I couldn't eat even though there were so many cakes on Christmas, but I found "Stolen".

 

To be precise, Stollen is not a cake, but a confectionary bread made in Germany during Christmas time, and the spicy hard dough contains plenty of fruits and nuts and lasts a long time.

It seems that it is baked on December 1 and eaten little by little until Christmas.

You may have come to see it because you care about it, but I feel that you have come to see it in famous bakeries and cake shops for the past few years.

It looks sober and has no decorative, but it contains a lot of nuts and fruits, so it seems that there are many things that make the price reasonable for a casual appearance.

 

When I tried Stollen from several shops, I liked the Stollen from Tsukishima's "Tampultan".

Located in Tsukishima, where the image of "Monja" is strong, it is a shop known to those who know it, but it has a high reputation among bread and cake lovers, and famous talent orders birthday cakes, so it was also featured in the media Has been done.

　

 

Stollen, about 18 cm in size, contains plenty of nuts and fruits boiled in my own shop, so it's very luxurious, but the price of 1250 yen is incredible.

In particular, this year marks the 20th anniversary of our founding, so we discounted two days on December 7 and 8.

 

The friends I gave last year have never become fans.

"It was very delicious!

When will you sell this year? "I was looking forward to it, so I bought it all at once, including my friends.

 

When I visited the shop, many people seemed to buy it again, saying, "It was delicious to eat at Christmas," so in some cases, they sold until the beginning of next year.

It lasts a long time, so it's perfect for New Year's Day.

 

In addition, the “Marugoto Apple” unique to this shop is made by boiling all apples as they are, wrapping them in homemade pie sheets, and baking them.

The apples are boiled softly in the right condition, the pie skin is fragrant, and it is a very recommended gem.

It's delicious as it is, but it's delicious even if you add ice cream or warm it in a microwave.

It's not a decoration cake, but this is the rule of Christmas sweets in my home.

 From November 1st to December 25th, the Tokyo Skytree Dream Christmas 2013-With thoughts on the world's best Christmas candles", the Tokyo Skytree is conducting limited lighting that resembles the world's tallest Christmas candles and Christmas trees.

Based on the Christmas season, the image of the flame of one candle <Shiro silver & red> > "Candle Tree" with the image of 2 fir tree <Champagne Gold & Green > "Champagne Tree" of "3" with the image of a fir tree <silver and green> > "White Tree", 4 <White Blue with the motif of silver & "Sumida River" >  "Winter style", which expresses the "heart spirit" of Edokko, 5 <Shiro silver & Edo purple > The five patterns of "Fuyuga", which expresses the "beautifulness" nurtured by the city of Edo, change depending on the date and time, and delight your eyes.

Lighting time is from 17:00 to 23:00.

On this day (December 7), the color changed from 17:00 to 20:00 "Candle Tree" (left photo) and from 20:00 to 23:00 "Champan Tree" (right photo).

The special illuminations of the Tokyo Sky Tree shine through the Eitai Bridge, which is lit up in pale blue.

The lights of Yagata boats and cruisers who enjoy night cruises, which travel around the Sumida River, are colorfully illuminated, and shine on the river surface and add color.

 

         

         

         

 

 

 

           

 The area of waters in Chuo-ku is 18.3% of the entire ward, and the area ratio is the largest in Tokyo.

Due to the decline of boat transportation, the development of urban functions during post-war reconstruction and high-growth periods, and the construction of the so-called "razor dike" for flood control, there were times when people were moved away from the waterside, but in recent years the natural environment of the waterside and its functions as a hydrophilic space have been rehabilitated, and efforts are being made to regenerate the waterside space, such as the waterside space, such as the waterside space, such as the waterside space, such as the waterside space, such as the waterside space.

On the other hand, rivers such as the Sumida River, where whitefish lived in the past and enjoyed playing in the water, have been remarkably polluted for a while due to the increase in industrial wastewater due to the rapid development of industrial activities and domestic wastewater due to the progress of urbanization. However, since then, various purification measures have been implemented, and it is said that fish have been seen since the time it changed to Heisei.

Currently, in the lower reaches of the Sumida River flowing through the ward, the water quality is said to have been improved until brackish fish such as goby, mullet, and seigo live, but further purification measures and continued understanding of the water quality are desired.

On a calm Sunday in early winter, on the banks of the Sumida River in the area around Tsukuda and Tsukishima, you can see quite a few people hanging fishing lines under the soft sunshine.

Turning your eyes to the river surface, you can see the goby's "kneading fishing" (when you arrive at the fishing spot, the boatman rows the turret and runs the boat).

It is a tasteful frame reminiscent of a stylish boating in front of Edomae.

 

 

 

   Gathering of International Exchange 2013 was held on November 16 at Tsukiji Social Education Center.

It was a very fun event, so I would like to report it to everyone.

　First of all, I would like to finish the reception on the first floor and go down to each floor from the fourth floor.

The first thing I visited was Indian curry, Sri Lankan milk tea and Japanese cuisine.

I thought it was a fee, but it was all free and delicious Indian curry, kenchin zoni, and Sri Lankan milk tea.

Curry was a very mild and delicious curry, with people working at Curry House Aiman in 1-2-10 Irifune, Chuo-ku serving and serving.

We also participated in disaster prevention corner and international exchange salon (air Japanese calligraphy experience). There was also an introduction to the sister city of Sutherland, Australia.

　

On the 3rd floor, there were ink painting, origami, furoshiki wrapping experience, tea ceremony experience, ikebana experience, dressing, etc. Everyone, it was serious, but it seemed fun.

Well, I came to the 2nd floor.　Today, I've been looking forward to the Brazilian dance Samba. But I didn't check the time, so it's just over!

I re-evaluated and participated in the next Bon Odori, Salsa, in the uniform of the Brazilian national team.　This was very fun, such as the Bon Dance in Edo and the coal mines.

After that, Salsa was able to dance happily with a feeling of zirva.　Salsa's last song, Tchao, was a samba song, so I decided to dance all three.

　On the same 2nd floor, there was also an experience of dressing Indian costumes and sally, and young women were shining brightly.

Also, when I went up to the 4th floor again, I met a young man from Mexico who came to Japan to learn karate and Kobudo.

He was able to speak Spanish, Portuguese, English, and a little Japanese, and it was a very fun encounter.

Would you like to have fun participating in international exchange?
