Sir

I made a reservation because the last train rakugo of Kokintei Komaji was interesting.

It is very pleasant to be able to listen to the story much closer than the usual vaudeville.

I can't wait for August third.

Sumida River Terrace _Chuo-ohashi Bridge

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] July 28, 2018 18:00

This is the site of the Tsukuda Island ferry port that I mentioned last time at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. As you can see in the explanation, there are the same monuments on both banks of the Sumida River, Tsukuda and Minato.

If you go through Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, you will find water level station on the opposite bank. It has a unique shape, so you can easily see it. Located at the confluence of the Sumida River and the Kamejima River, the sluice gate in the photo is the Kamejima River sluice gate. This was also included in this year's examination.

By the way, you can see the modern beauty supported by the wire that Chuo-ohashi Bridge is approaching.

Cross the bridge and head toward Shinkawa, this is a great photo spot, and many people take pictures of Eitai Bridge in the background of the Sky Tree in earnest with a tripod.

.... <<<<This is the photo spot. >>>>>

 

 

Another thing I would like you to look at is the messenger statue. It was given by Jack Sirak, the mayor of Paris at the time to commemorate the friendly river between the Sumida River and the Paris Seine. It is said that Tokyo donated a houseboat as a thank you.

........ <<<<<<<<br>The back of the bridge seems to be from the bridge >>>>>

 

 

As soon as you cross the bridge and go right along the Sumida River, there is a cherry blossom that blooms early nearby and blooms more than one month earlier every year. It seems to be called "kawazu-zakura" and blooms from late January to February.

Shinkawa Park between Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Eitai Bridge is a famous spot for cherry blossoms.

Next time, we will go through Shinkawa Park to Eitai Bridge.

 

 

Hayashi Rice, a long-established Western-style restaurant (Western-style Shintomi Bricktei)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 27, 2018 14:00

It is a long-established authentic Western-style restaurant "Western Food Shintomi Bricktei" that I have introduced before.

hayasi201801.JPG

It faces the quiet street of Shintomi 1-chome.

In the nearest station, it is almost equitable from Hatchobori Station on the Hibiya Line and Shintomicho Station on the Yurakucho Line.

hayasi201802.JPG

The shop is like a retro coffee shop, has a taste, and makes you feel the history.

The reception of the shop is pleasant.

Today, I ordered Hayashi rice for lunch.

hayasi201803.JPG

It comes with potage soup and salad.

hayasi201804.JPG

It's Hayashi rice.

hayasi201805.JPG

Beef is well cooked, soft and rich.

The sweetness of the onions and the crispness are wonderful.

The amount of rice is perfect for palm rice.

hayasi201806.JPG

Convincing with the sign of "the origin of Western food"

It was a very satisfying palm rice

Here, crab cream croquettes, hamburgers, pork ginger and omelet are also delicious.

I'll come again.

Season of Cicada [Tsukiji River Park]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 23, 2018 14:00

semi201801.JPG

It is the season when you can hear the voice of cicada from Tsukiji River Park.

semi201802.jpg

Tsukiji River Park is home to many old trees, including Yoshino cherry tree.

semi201803.jpg

From there, you can hear the sounds of minminminzemi and abrazemi unique to summer.

semi201804.jpg

A lot of shells are also noticeable, so the Chuo-ku kid () who was planted on trees in Tsukiji River Park and grew up underground in the park should be singing.

semi201805.jpg

He is a strong child who grew up without losing the drying caused by the harsh heat island phenomenon.

semi201807.jpg

As far as I have confirmed, at a rate of about 1:4, more minminminzemi than Abrazemi.

semi201808.jpg

Certainly, the voice of "Menminminminminminminminminminminminminminmin ..." seems to be much larger than "GGGG ...".

semi201806.jpg

By the way, many cicadas have transparent wings, but Abrazemi's wings are opaque brown in front and back, and cicadas whose entire wings are opaque, seem to be rare in the world.

semi201809.jpg

If you can't hear this cry, a cool autumn will come.

32nd St. Luke's solo exhibition [Nyan Wang's pastel painting]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 18, 2018 09:00

A work exhibition by pastel writer Shonoro Yamanaka is being held at St. Luke's First Gallery on the first floor of the main building of St. Luke's International Hospital in Akashicho.

nyan32201801.JPG

It is "Shonoro Yamanaka's work exhibition: Nyan One, familiar animals drawn with pastels-"

nyan32201802.JPG

This is the 32nd (), which is exactly the annual exhibition of St. Luke's Gallery.

nyan32201803.JPG

The period is from Monday, July 16 to 21 (Sat).

Please note that the time is from 9:00 to 17:00, but the last day is from 10:00 to 16:00.

nyan32201804.JPG

Even though it says "Nyan One Familiar Animals", Yamanaka's exhibition is the work depicting the cat of "Nyan".

nyan32201805.JPG

I can't say anything about the expression and pose of the cat drawn, it's natural, cute, and cute.

nyan32201806.JPG

The touch of pastel painting brushes and pen drawing conveys the cat's facial expressions and poses very realistically and gently.

We recommend that you see works drawn up to each hair one by one with your own eyes up close.

nyan32201807.JPG

It's just a work that is healed by looking at it.

mitume201800.JPG

In addition, regarding the photography in the gallery, the person himself consented and gave a careful explanation of the work as usual.

Thank you very much
