Skytree from Kachidokibashi

[illy-ship Sanichiro] February 27, 2011 08:47

 

The back of Tokyo Skytree stretched, and it became visible from Kachidokibashi over the Shinkawa building.

(In the middle of the photo, it is on the left side of Chuo-ohashi Bridge. I'm sorry it's hard to see.

Now you can see it from all six bridges of the Sumida River over Chuo-ku.

When you turn around, you can see Tokyo Tower well.

Tokyo Marathon Course Walking Ginza to Tsukishima Monja Festival

[Ginzo] February 26, 2011 08:30

 This week, we enjoyed walking around Tsukiji from Ginza 4-chome and Tsukuda and Tsukishima from Akashicho.

At Akatsuki Park, there were two Japanese white-eyes on white plums and a lot of flower nectar.

At the monument of Siebold, I studied Siebold's merit and merit.

 I entered Tsukishima via Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine in Tsukuda and Tsukuda Kobashi. What would you like for lunch?

Ladies and gentlemen, I hurried to the monjaya that you were looking for. 

A group is looking at the menu in front of the Western restaurant "Piasola" next to Tsukishima Onsen.

 I took a picture of the group who entered the store. Inside a stylish and neat shop.

Comet Orchids and Nichirei Flower

[Map★] 16:00 on February 18, 2011

Last time, I introduced cosmetics made of comet orchids called Silvan.
From the story of the comet orchid, Nichirei is a flower business,
There are nichirei flowers, production and sales of comet orchids, and
I heard about the production and sale of other orchid seeds,
Mr. Kaneko, President of Sylvan, introduced me.
We interviewed Mr. Shimizu, director of Nichirei Flower.
Nichirei Flower's office is located just before Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge in Shin-Tomicho.

 

The first thing that caught my eye was displayed on the table of the office.
It was a flower in the glass.
It is a flower called "Everflower".
Dry flower that lasts longer than preserved flower,
It is said that it was developed using the vacuum technology and biochemical reactions used by Hitachi in space laboratories.

Nichirei and Hitachi were the same affiliate companies!

The warranty period is one year, but what is at the director's house?
It's just kept clean without fade for 20 years.

It happened to be a wedding celebration, but from the name "EVER"
It can be used for wedding celebrations as well as for various celebrations.

 

As expected, large items have a good price, but some are cute things about 5000 yen.

And the story of comet orchids.
The comet orchid is called Odontogrotham, and was discovered in the 19th century.
It is said that it was a rare flower that was popular among European nobility and the British royal family.
It was introduced to Japan in 1902 by Shigenobu Okuma and Tadaoki Sakai at the National Exposition.
The Western orchid project team was established in Nichirei in 1984.
In 1985, he was also exhibiting at the World Orchid Conference.

I was surprised that there are many types of comet orchids.
Sylvan was used in cosmetics, but
My favorite look was a comet orchid called "Marie Noel" Bellano.
This variety has won the Red Ribbon Award at the World Orchid Exhibition Japan Grand Prize in 2007.

 

It's very cute with pink flowers, but since I just saw it in the catalog,
I would like to see the real thing at the World Ran Exhibition Japan Grand Prize starting tomorrow (*^^*)

 

Official website of the World Ran Exhibition Japan Grand Prize

 

Of course, at the World Ran Exhibition at Tokyo Dome, not only comet orchids, but also
It is said that many dendrobium, cymbidium and other orchids will be exhibited.
It also has a lot of buds that are not blooming. They only choose what is easy to grow at home.

Certainly, the flowers in full bloom have a short time to enjoy,
If you can see the process of blooming flowers, the fun will double.♪
It seems that you can buy it for around 2000 yen per share (*^^*)

 

The lighting of Tokyo Dome was originally a facility for baseball,
Cocktail rays (night game lighting) are used,
It seems that yellow and white flowers look more beautiful than red and pink.
It was a little trivia knowledge (laughs)

 

Also, the Phalaenopsis orchids that were placed at the office were a little small and cute,
But because it was Phalaenopsis orchids, it looked elegant and expensive,
It seems that it is 5500 yen including shipping fee in two mains. Good for a gift too!

And with a beautiful rose Priza,
I had fresh vege lettuce and radish.

 

 

 RIMG6074.JPG

 

Since I was a child, I had a very unrelated environment.
Can you really do lettuce? And it’s a bit of doubt, and it’s fun.

 

By the way, there is a greenhouse of comet orchids of 3,000 tsubo in Nagano, and it is said that October to May is at its peak.
You can see a picture of a house full of comet orchids on the homepage.

It is said that the director lives nearby and goes to Tokyo.
We were busy preparing for the Orchid exhibition, and we talked a lot for an hour.
He was the director of a gentle person who loves flowers.

Tsukiji Matsuro's egg-yaki and outside market

[Map★] 09:00 on February 17, 2011

Today, I went to Shin-Tomicho for coverage, so I extended my legs and went to Tsukiji!
Actually, it's the first Tsukiji (laughs)

 

RIMG6005.JPG RIMG6009.JPG

 

Passing in front of St. Luke Hospital, Oh, Tsukiji Honganji!
I was impressed that it was in the book of the tourist association certification, and I was shooting for the time being (laughs).

One of today's dishes is Tsukiji Matsuro's egg-yaki.
As stores outside the venue closed early, we gathered information.
It is located at the intersection of Harumi-dori St.
I went to a new store on the first floor of a building called Tsukiji Kyoueikai, Tsukiji Fun Market.

 

RIMG6008.JPG RIMG6007.JPG

 

I thought I would make it a regular Matsuro, but I definitely want to eat a "Kinto" with chili pepper.
But even if you buy two, it's too much for two people ... I found this product!

 

RIMG6025.JPG RIMG6024.JPG

 

There was a mini-size set of Matsuro and Shinto.
This is a fun set of 370 yen.

Both are a little sweet and delicious!
In particular, the "Spicy Party" was sweet and spicy, and it was very popular with my husband (*^ ^ *)

Tsukiji Matsuro's website


Next, this is also a signboard at the entrance outside Tsukiji area, which is often seen on TV!
But since it was around 3 o'clock, there were a lot of shops closed.

After that, let's go outside Tsukiji.
It seems that most shops close by about 3 o'clock.

Also, outside the venue, it's complicated and difficult to understand,
There was such a map. It's very easy to understand.★

I think I’ll be here in the morning [laughs].

 

 

St. Luke's snow makeup

[Ginzo] February 16, 2011 08:30

 On February 14, 2011, it also snowed in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

The snow is pure white, and it seems that my heart is really washed. Please visit the campus of St. Luke's College of Nursing.

There is also a little snow in the memorial hall of Dr. Toysler, the founder of St. Luke International Hospital.

 Lovely Cupid. It's so cute, so get your mom's permission, sir!

 Who created the Snowman? St. Luke's Tower in the background. It's a picture.

 Let's look forward to the snow again before spring comes!

The 16th Chuo-ku Snow Festival Saturday, February 5 6 (Sun) Part 1 

[Yurikamome] 09:00 on February 8, 2011

 The 16th Chuo-ku Snow Festival was held at Akatsuki Park on February 5 (Sat) and 6 (Sun).

The snow delivered from Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city, made Akatsuki Park a small slope to delight the children.

The rental of sori mini skis was free.

When I took a picture of the scene and looked at it, there were so many good Kaai photos, so I'm sorry, but I'll post it twice.  

The slope opened at 9 o'clock.                                             At 11:00, there was a greeting from Mayor Yada as the opening ceremony and there was a song corner.2011_0205 Chuo-ku Snow Festival Panda and Tiger 0061.JPG

 A corner with rice cake

It is a very nostalgic scenery, but it seems that the people who are wearing rice cakes and those around them are the first experiences.
