Flowering of Benikobushi

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 21, 2018 16:00

It's been springing

Benikobushi blooms on the north side of the street from Saijo Bridge to Ichiba Bridge Intersection (Ichiba Bridge Street), on the north side of Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School, and on both sides from the celebration bridge to Shin-ohashi-dori St. (map below, pink part).

Benikobushi (Red Magnolia kobus) is said to have been altered by the genus Mokuren, also known as Himeshi Dekobushi (Princess Four Tesui), whose petals are white.

The name comes from a friend of Magnolia kobus, because the flower color is light red.

Benikobushi on Ichiba Bridge Street is a wonderful view like Tsukiji, with tarley (blue vehicle in the photo above) being parked and blooming.

By the way, Turret Truck is an abbreviation for Turret Truck, a general term for transport vehicles used for cargo in factories, warehouses, railway stations, etc., but it is a familiar car in the Tsukiji market.

The pale pink petals, rather than light red, are elongated and wavy, and have a different impression than the original white Magnolia kobus.

In Tokyo, the flowering declaration of cherry blossoms (Yoshino cherry tree) was made on the 17th, but in the Tsukiji River Sendai Bridge Park, cherry blossoms with different flowering times are planted in a limited space, and in spring, you can enjoy cherry blossoms for several months.

Currently, the best time to see Yokou (sunlight) is in full bloom.

It is said that Yokou was produced by crossing Amagiyoshino (Amagi Yoshino) and Kanhizakura (Kanhizakura), and blooms earlier than Yoshino cherry tree.

This is kawazu-zakura (Kawazu Sakura), which I introduced on this blog two weeks ago.

The early-blooming cherry tree kawazu-zakura is already a leaf cherry tree.

Fugen elephant (fugen elephant) has not yet been budded.

It is a large yaezakura, and it is at its peak in late April.

There is also a weeping cherry tree in Sendai Bridge Park, where you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing according to the flowering season.

Collaboration of Tsutaya in Tsukiji and Takatora Hamacho

[Silver] March 15, 2018 16:00

"Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall" currently has 22 exhibition halls, and it is a very meaningful and study exhibition hall that introduces the area and its long-established stores. At present, the exhibition hall stamp rally is being held, and I am with the Shochiku Otani Library in Higashiginza.

I went to Tsutaya Shoten in Tsukiji's "Noren / Japanese lantern / Drawing Exhibition Hall" in the photo below.

 At Tsutaya in Tsukiji, he told us that the cut bags sold by the store were written on a drawstring bag made by Takatora in Nihonbashihamacho.

It was a wonderful story about working together to make better things.

 There is a restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Odawara Bridge Building, "Tsukiji Fish Bank", but I thought it was open from morning to lunch.

 Now, like a food court, if you share what you ordered at three stores and eat it with your friends, it will be exciting. Please go out.

The address is 6-26-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and the 3rd floor of Tsukiji Uogawagishi Building.

I got a business card for "Tsukiji Fish Bank Seafood". The store's telephone number is 03-6278-8170.

Shiraki Lotus telling the coming of spring

[Sam] March 13, 2018 18:00

DSC02036ELS'.jpgRS'G.jpg Hakumokuren in Akatsuki Park (Tsukiji 7) is blooming.

Hakumokuren is a deciduous shrub of the genus Mokuren native to China and has been introduced to Japan for a long time. It is also known as Mokuren, but originally "Mokuren" refers to "Shi (purple) Mokuren" that blooms red-purple flowers.

In early spring, prior to the leaves, it blooms in an egg-shaped, thick, upward, closed and closed flowers.

The 3 calyx and 6 petals are the same color and look like 9 petals in total.

The white neat beauty of Hakumokuren is exceptional.

It is wonderful to bathe in the soft sunlight and add pure white flowers to the branches, and the wind carries an elegant scent, creating a sense of the early spring season.
