The other day, I stopped by marche Tsukiji.

　

I always check black tea and chocolate, but when I looked at the coffee corner, I found a lot of cafe Paulista beans.

It was surprising that beans that I wanted to buy at a Ginza store someday could be bought at Tsukiji.

　

I chose Mandelin (500g 1,080 yen).

　

I saw a woman buying 10 bags of coffee-flavored flower beans at the store next to it, so I visited it.

"Oh!　I was asked by a friend," he said.

According to the owner of the store, it's a popular product.

Another rice cake made by a woman who came to the peddling from Chiba, who appeared on NHK TV several times before, was also sold.

　

Tsukiji was already aware of it, but he still lacked study.

　

I'm going to walk further to find the treasures of Tsukiji.

 

 

　

　The "Special Light Up" of Tokyo Tower, which is lit according to weekends, anniversaries, events, promotions, etc.

In January, a limited time from 20:00 to 22:00 on Saturday, July 14, 21 and 28, diamond veil <white diamonds>> It was lit.

At the 50th anniversary, Diamond Vere was designed and started by lighting designer Mikiko Ishii with the feeling of "giving diamonds to a 50-year-old woman in light of its shape that can be parable to women."

The total number of lights shining outside from the frame is 276.

Depending on the pattern, each of the 17 levels of light is transformed into seven colors with masage for each color, but this time, a noble white glow with the message of "eternity" and "inheritance".

In the clear winter air, you can clearly see "Diamond Ver <White Diamond>" from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki through the Tsukiji Market.

By the way, from the sunset of the day to 20:00, from 22:00 to the dawn of the next day, the standard "landmark light (winter version)" is lit.

 

 

"Shintomiza Children's Kabuki" is a full-fledged "Children's Kabuki" performed by elementary school students in Chuo-ku under the guidance of experts, and is regularly performed.

I used to visit a training hall before, and after that, I have seen performances many times, and there will be a performance at the Setsubun Festival on February 5th (Sun).

This is a regular performance entitled "Tetsugunsu Inari Shrine Dedicated Kabuki 10th Setsubun Festival Performance".

However, this time, the performance venue will be Chuo Elementary School in Chuo Ward, not Tepposu Inari Shrine.

The reason is that Teppozu Inari Shrine is currently under construction.

To commemorate the 1180th anniversary of the shrine, the first phase of construction of Fujizuka and the shrine office are being dismantled.

The construction is scheduled to be completed at the end of March 2017.

At the shrine, rituals will be held for the Setsubun Festival on February 3 (Fri), but "bean-throwing ceremony" on the grounds will not be held during the construction period.

The Children's Kabuki Setsubun Festival performance will begin on February 5 at Chuo Elementary School Gymnasium in Chuo Ward at 1:30 pm.

Don't forget your shoe bags and shoes.

In addition, on May 5 (Friday / holiday), a "10th anniversary performance" is also scheduled.

Sakuragawa Park is a park built on the site of the Sakuragawa River, which was reclaimed in the 1940s, and this Sakuragawa was called Hatchobori in the Edo period.

There is an explanation board of "Hatchobori (Sakuragawa) trace" describing the origin of "Hatchobori" in the park.

Chuo-ku Sakuragawa Rooftop Park is located on the east side of Bouqueke 21, a municipal women's center located just after entering Sakuragawa Park from Shin-ohashi-dori St..

This Sakuragawa Rooftop Park is a rooftop garden built on the roof () of the building where the Sakurabashi No. 2 Pumping Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Sewerage Bureau is located. To enter the park, climb the stairs of the building.

Not only from the women's center side, but also from the gunshot street side facing the Kamejima River.

In the garden of more than 2,700 square meters, promenade is maintained, planted, and brooks are flowing.

At lunchtime on a sunny winter day, the benches were almost filled, and everyone was spending a relaxing time.

The address of Sakuragawa Rooftop Park is 1-1-2 Minato, and the opening hours are from 9:00 to 19:00.

 

 

Do you know a vehicle called Turret Truck?

It is very useful as a transport vehicle in Tsukiji Market.

I've seen it!

There is a shop where you can drink truly delicious coffee while sitting on this turret. The location is close to Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

Its name is Turret COFFEE <Turret Coffee> 。

If you like coffee, you may already know! It's a famous shop for its "tasty book".

When you enter the shop, you'll find turret!

You can sit in the rear. I hear it's a good thing.

Of course, we also have regular seats.

And coffee.

Both hot and ice cream are amazingly delicious. Rich bitterness and weight of coffee, easy to drink and clear taste without turbidity. It doesn't make punch work, but it feels like wrapping it gently. Although it is a small shop, it is a space where you can calm down just away from the bustle of Tsukiji Market.

Mr. Kawasaki, the store manager, is particular about the deliciousness of handmade coffee and seems to have been trained for a long time in the Tokai region. The one who chose Tsukiji was "something." The point was that there were a lot of delicious things around me. The location and customer layer are thick and uninterrupted.

The sweets sold together are also available from handmade shops, and are moderately sweet and refreshing. It goes well with coffee and tastes good.

Menu The price is also good.
