Sky Tree from Kachidokibashi

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

 

The back of the Tokyo Sky Tree grew, and it became visible from Kachidokibashi through the Shinkawa building.

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

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

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

Tokyo Marathon Course Walking Ginza Tsukishima Monja Festival

[Silver] 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-eye birds in white plums and the nectar of flowers.

In the monument of Siebold, I studied Mr. Siebold's merit and sin.

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

Everybody hurried to the monja shop you wanted. 

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

 I took photos of the group members who entered the store. The inside of the store is fashionable and neat.

 I found a poster for the 1st Tsukishima Monja Festival in Nishinaka-dori Shopping Street.

Comet orchid and Nichirei Flower

[Mapo ★] February 18, 2011 16:00

Last time, I introduced cosmetics using comet orchids called Sylvan.
Based on the story of the comet orchid, Nichirei is a flower business.
There are nichirei flowers, production and sales of comet orchids, and
I heard that you are producing and selling other orchid seeds.
Mr. Kaneko, President of Sylvan, introduced me to you.
I interviewed Mr. Shimizu, director of Nichirei Flower.
Nichirei Flower's office is located a little before Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge in Shintomi-cho.

 

The first thing that stopped my eyes was displayed on the table of the office.
It was a flower in the glass.
It's a flower called "Ever Flower".
Dried 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 experiment rooms.

Nichirei and Hitachi were of the same affiliated companies~!

The warranty period is one year, but what is in the director's house?
It seems that it will remain beautiful without fadeing for 20 years.

I happened to have it for a wedding celebration, but it's also called "EVER".
It can be used not only for wedding celebration but also for various celebrations.

 

As expected, big ones are expensive, but some cute ones are about 5,000 yen.

And it is the story of the comet orchid.
The comet orchids are called Odontgrossam, and they were discovered in the 19th century.
It seems that it was a rare flower that was familiar to European nobles and British royal family.
It was introduced to Japan in 1902, and Shigenobu Okuma and Tadaoki Sakai were introduced at the National Exposition.
It was in 1984 that the Western orchid project team was established in Nichirei.
In 1985, he was also exhibited at the World Orchid Conference.

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

 

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

 

The official website of the World Orn Exhibition Japan Grand Prize

 

Of course, at the World Orchid Exhibition at Tokyo Dome, not only comet orchids, but also comet orchids.
It seems that a lot of dendrobium, cymbidium and other orchids will be exhibited.
That's also something that has not bloomed and has a lot of buds. It seems that you can choose only those that are 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 be doubled.♪
It seems that you can buy it for around 2,000 yen per share (*^^ *)

 

The lighting at Tokyo Dome is originally a facility for baseball, so it is a facility for baseball.
Cocktail rays (lighting of night games) 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 orchid which was placed at the office is a little small and cute.
But because it was a Phalaenopsis orchid, it looked elegant and expensive.
It seems that it costs 5500 yen including shipping cost in two standings. It's good as a gift!

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

 

 

 RIMG6074.JPG

 

Since I was a child, I had a very little connection with the soil.
Do you really do lettuce? I'm looking forward to it because I'm skeptical about it (*^^*)

 

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 its peak.
On the homepage, you can see a picture of a house full of comet orchids.

It seems that the director lives near him and goes to Tokyo.
While you are busy preparing for the Orchid exhibition, you can talk a lot for an hour.
He was the director of a gentle personality who loves flowers.

Let's go around Tsukiji Matsuro's egg-yaki and out-of-market market

[Mapo ★] February 17, 2011 09:00

Today, I went to Shintomi-cho for coverage, so I stretched my feet 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 the same as that it was on the tourist association certification book, and I was shooting for the time being (laughs).

One of the things I'd like today is Tsukiji Matsuro's egg-yaki.
We were collecting information when stores outside the venue closed early.
It is located at the intersection of Harumi-dori St.
We went to a new store on the first floor of a building called Tsukiji Kyoueikai, an interesting market.

 

RIMG6008.JPG RIMG6007.JPG

 

I thought I would like to make it a regular matsuro, but I definitely want to eat a "spic party" with pepper.
But even if you buy two, it's too much for two people ... I found such a product!

 

RIMG6025.JPG RIMG6024.JPG

 

There was a mini-size set of Shoro and spicy party.
It is a fun set of 370 yen.

Both are slightly sweet and delicious!
In particular, the "spicy party" was sweet and spicy ~ It was very popular with my husband (* ^^ *)

Tsukiji Matsuro's website


Next, I often see this on TV, a signboard at the entrance outside Tsukiji!
But it was close to 3 o'clock, so there were a lot of shops that were closed.

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

And it's hard to understand because it's intricate out of the hall.
There was such a map. It's very easy to understand.★

I'm going to come this morning (laughs).

 

 

St. Luke's Snow Makeup

[Silver] February 16, 2011 08:30

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

The snow is pure white, and it seems to really wash my mind. Please visit the campus of St. Luke's College of Nursing.

There was a little snow in the memorial hall of Dr. Toysler, the founder of St. Luke's International Hospital.

 A cute cupid. It's too cute, so with your mother's permission, patily!

CIMG7545.jpg

 

 Who made the "snowman"? Against the backdrop of St. Luke's Tower. 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] February 8, 2011 09:00

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

The snow delivered from Higashine, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city, made Akatsuki Park a small slope and delighted the children.

The rental of sori minisky was free.

When I took the picture of the scene and looked at Kaai, I was sorry that there were so many good photos, but I will post it in two parts.  

The slope opened at 9 o'clock.                                             From 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

 

 

 

It's a costume show with the sister of the song.

The right was only a serious eye difference. 

 The picture below is more than a girl about one and a half years old.

Mom is having fun and smiling.

Children who make Totenpole ...

I also wanted to raise children in Chuo-ku.

・・I really thought about it.

 Rice cake corner

It's a very nostalgic scenery, but both those who are wearing rice cakes and those around them seem to be experiencing for the first time.

 The rice in the plastic bag for emergency food was warm and delicious.
