 On April 19, the highest temperature in the city center was 26.1 ° C, a summer day for four consecutive days, recording the longest summer day in Thailand as April, and at Botanen in Hamarikyu Garden, "Hyakka no king" Kao ", And the impression that "Fukikusa" and many other peony with many other names began to bloom at once.

I hear that there are about 800 peony of 60 species in the park.

While wrapped in fresh greenery, it has a large flower with a glossy and thin film quality with a diameter of 20 cm, and the flower with a presence is splendid, creating a taste worthy of the name of the queen of garden trees.

There are a variety of ways to bloom flowers, such as single bloom, double-flowered, Senju bloom, Manju bloom, flat bloom, holding, and lion bloom. The color of the flowers is also purple, red purple, black red, red (red), red (red), light red, white, and yellow.

By the way, this year, April 30 is "Botanhanasaku" with 72 climates.

6996RS'G.jpg On March 24, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory announced one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Shirotsumegusa Flowering". (Kitanomaru-koen Park)

It is not yet noticeable at Uchibori Square in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, but at the site of the Yan Liao Pavilion, the height of Shirotumegusa extends greatly and you can see colonies.

Also known as clover.

The leaves are basically three-leaf compound leaves, sometimes four-leaf or more, and in Western Europe, the three-leaf clover is a symbol of Christianity, and the four-leaf clover resembles the Malta Cross, so it is considered a sign of good luck and happiness.

In Ireland, every year on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, there is a practice to celebrate wearing a symbolic green or three-leaf clover-designed costume and accessories.

The name "stuffing grass" is said to be derived from the use of dried grass as a packing material for glass products imported from the Netherlands to Nagasaki during the Edo period.

Since nitrogen is fixed by the action of root particle bacteria, it is also used as a greening material that enriches the sober.

Miyazawa Kenji described the "light of nails" in the fairy tale "Polano Square".

Looking closer, the appearance of a small butterfly-shaped flower blooming like a cone from below is like the head of a bird chick whose wings have begun to grow.

It is located on the north side of the National Cancer Center, near the Metropolitan Expressway.

What is "ma" of green onions?

[Shubo's Ten Hands] April 19, 2017 12:00

DSCN0663 maguro tugawa.jpgIn the days when freezing technology was not developed, the toro part was not eaten raw, but boiled with green onions in a soy sauce-flavored pot. The red meat was soaked in soy sauce and eaten raw with "zuke". It seems that Toro had topped soy sauce and was not suitable for this cooking method.

 

Now, when I think of "leek", I think of chicken and green onion yakitori. I'm wondering whether to make sauce or salt.

 

Today, I bought a small Indian tuna with a fence at the "Tuna Tsugawa" store in the Odawara building of the "Tsukiji Fish Bank" and decided to drink home. It's good for my wallet.

 

There are plenty of sizes and types. If you are kind enough to consult with me about tuna, please.

It's always delicious.

 On April 16 (Sun), the "Adult Nature Observation" hosted by the Chuo-ku Environmental Information Center was held at Hamarikyu Onshi Garden. .

10:00~12:00

Lecturer is Nature Observation Instructor of NACOT.

Observe the ecosystem of flowers and creatures that bloom in spring and learn about changes in the environment in nature.

On this day, the maximum temperature of 26.1 ° C was observed in the city center, and this is the first summer day of this year, and the green gradation woven by Aoba Wakaba, which has a slightly different color for each tree in the park, feels even more dazzling.

"Be careful when the sprout of zelkova is irregular" (zelkova sprouts sparsely with a time difference to prevent the sprout from withering due to frost when late frost is likely to come), Matching flower color and shape of insect insects and shape and habit of visiting flower insects, interest in listening to tentumci, abrasives, walks, etc.

If you buckle down and observe the "foot microcosm" closely, you will also get unexpected notice.

Because it was a cultural property garden, it was a fieldwork that once again gave a glimpse of a part of the preservation of the ecosystem in the city center, which was not much modified and was in the preservation of the ecosystem.

DSCN0658.JPGI would like to introduce you to the Japanese restaurant.

 

I can't help it.

There are plenty of different types, and always delicious.

As expected, Tsukiji Fish Bank

 

It is said that he is the oldest fishery wholesaler in Tsukiji Market.

 

It is a shop founded in 1871, sticking to the traditional sun-dried and additive-free, and also sticking to seasonal fish (the year when Maejima Mitsu started the postal service).

 

Airplane"I'll never have a good thing. 。 It is said that "the representative string of Japanese food culture" is being transmitted not only in Japan but also in the world.

 

I like to buy strings such as saury, horse mackerel, mackerel, mackerel, etc. during the company lunch break and return home, and then drink at home with strings. The house turned to a party. It's also kind to your wallet.

 

The clerks were all kind and taught me how to eat unusual dried fish and sun-dried small sardines. If you have a chance, why don't you stop by?
