There was a macaron vest 10 recommended for Nikkei Plus One short time ago.
Ladule, the first place in Japan, landed in Ginza Mitsukoshi last year, and then in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.
A shop that became famous for the movie "Marie Antwernet"
For a while, even on weekdays, just buying a macaron waited for 30 minutes, and the salon waited for an hour.

　

The second place, Pierre Elme Paris, can be bought at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.
It's just a macaron in Paris! There is a lot of cream and it's delicious.

　

The 7th place Daloyyo has a shop on Ginza Street.
You can buy it in the basement of Depa, but there is also a macaroon limited to the Ginza store (lower left in the photo).

　

The 10th place Henri Charpantier is the main store of Cakeya from Kobe Ashiya.
There is also a splendid Ginza main store in Yonai Building in Ginza 2-chome.
The Yonei Building is a Romanesque building in the Middle Ages and is designated as the Historic buildings selected by Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
The macaron here is also popular.

　

However, these are intended for things that can be bought at department stores.
Without that, there are still many macarons in Ginza that will definitely rank.

★Ginza Macaron at the Ginza West Hotel

This is also the same as Nikkei Plus One.
It was ranked 1st among recommended hotel sweets nationwide.

Normal macaroons are also delicious, but
Macarons made with honey from Ginza grown in Ginza are popular.
Actually, it's always sold out and I haven't eaten yet.

It seems that honey is not obtained very much nationwide this year, but
The honey in Ginza seems to be working hard, and there is also a newspaper on the bee project.

　

This year, Ginza Matsuya also sells sweets using Ginza honey.

★Tanto Mary's Ginza Miermacaron Sands (left photo) To Matsuya Ginza page
"Miel" means honey in French.
The honey and lemon matched and it was very delicious.
We are doing honey sweets fair from Ginza until the end of June.

★Wako's Macaron (lower right)
It is a fairly large macaron with a diameter of 8 cm and is responsive to eat.

　

Recently, there have been a macaron boom, and many shops are making it.
I think there are still a lot of macarons in Ginza.
I'd like to report it again after excavation.

 

 

 

　　Nice to meet you, this is Bird. Over the next yearChuo-kuWe will send out seasonal information. Please take a look.

 

　　Well, do you know everyone? The second Saturday of every month is "Kimono de Ginza day". Every time around 3:00 pm, kimono lovers gather lively. The meeting place is in front of Wako. What are you going to do? What! Wear your favorite kimono, show each other with friends, talk, and walk around Ginza. It's just fun, isn't it?

The most interesting thing about this day is that you can see a variety of outfits. When it comes to tea ceremonies and ceremonies, noisy aunts (rude!) There are many kimonos that you can't enjoy very freely, but this is different. It's quite good to break the rules! But that's Ginza. Everyone, it's very good. There are sticking, pongee, small crest, antique. I've seen a cool break of the rules, such as Yumeji-style antique kimono and boots.

 

Another interesting thing is that there are many men. A handsome man in Japanese clothes, a father of Choiwal who is dressed up. Super cool! They have decided on the bag up to the bag, so Don't miss it!

I can't beat Harajuku's "Kawaii". Ginza is a game with "Iki". Everybody is wearing a kimono. Why don't you go to Ginza with an exciting outfit on the 13th of next month? By the way, it seems that there is an off party after the silver bra.

 

 

 

　During the May holidays this year, I wanted to avoid congestion and avoid going out. Fortunately, Shimbashi Enbujo's May Kabuki Night Club performed the “Kihei Criminal Book”, and the Edo Tokyo Museum held the “53rd Tokaido Exhibition” as a set, and I was immersed in the mood of Edo.

　After visiting the "Fifty-threeth Exhibition" (To be precise, Nihonbashi and Sanjo Ohashi entered the fifty-fiveth) after noon on the 5th, my wife and I went to theater on foot. Cross Ryogoku Bridge, go from Edo-dori St. to Chuo-dori, just a little Harumi-dori St., and eventually Higashiginza. It was about an hour and a half.

　"Onihei" is like a caretaker, and Mr. Yoshiemon's Heizo Hasegawa entered the hall as expected. Kinnosuke and Somegoro, who play the rival brothers of thieves, also performed enthusiastically. The seat was next to the flower path on the first floor, so I was able to see the scene where Yoshiemon left dashingly in Ozume. The next "Osomekumatsu Color Reading Sales" and Fukusuke's seven roles were wonderful, and I was able to enjoy the real pleasure of Kabuki again.

　By the way, in March, I saw Danjuro's "Nanbuzaka" and Nizaemon's "Toyoshou Tsuna" in the Genroku era Chushingura at the Kabukiza Theater. Kabuki is fun if the theater is good and the actors are also available.

That's why it was a day of consecutive holidays immersed in the Edo atmosphere.　　Above

 

 

 

 

 

Matsuya, a long-established department store in Ginza. There are benches and tables on the rooftop, making it a spot where you can spend a relaxing time when you are tired of walking around the city or during lunch, blowing through the wind passing through the building.

By the way, on the rooftop, vegetables are grown by volunteers of Matsuya employees. Last fall, 12 kinds of summer vegetables such as mini tomatoes, bitter gourd, eggplants and cucumbers were harvested. This attempt, named the "Ginza Green Project", was started with the aim of reducing the heat island phenomenon and contributing to the Ginza Bee Project (a project to grow bees in Ginza buildings implemented by an NPO).

If you look at the small blessings of nature while feeling the pleasant breeze in the middle of the city, you will be able to experience a unique Ginza. In addition, sweets such as cakes and castella using honey from Ginza are also sold at the Japanese and Western Confectionery Section on the first basement floor of Matsuya. This is a gem of locally grown and consumed. Why don't you enjoy this as well?

 

 

Civilization-do was originally Nagasaki, and there was a lot of goodwill.
At present, it seems that there are about six civilization halls of another company nationwide.
It seems that there are various characteristics and limited items each, and I would like to introduce the limited items of Ginza Bunmeido.

 Baumkuchenchocoladene

Baumkuchen, which can only be purchased at the Bunmeido Higashiginza store near Kabukiza.
It has a French luxury chocolate called Valoruna. It's 262 yen per one.
It's small and doesn't last long, so it's good to eat a little on the spot.

　

 Castella of Koshiro Mori, a living national treasure

Koshiro Mori is the best technical advisor of Ginza Bunmeido.
A person who has been awarded the Food Meister, a living national treasure for food.
Only Tokyo Daimaru can buy castellas with Mori Koshiro's brand seal.
Dorayaki is also famous.
I went in the wooden box for about 10 days, so I made it a souvenir for homecoming.

 　

 The Silver Mikasa and the Moon halo

It's a sweet with a dorayaki called Silver Mikasa and a chestnut called Moon halo.
Both can only be purchased at the Ginza 5-chome store on Ginza Street.
The moon halo matches chestnuts and butter, so it's hard for chestnut sweets lovers!
Gin Mikasa is also a very Ginza-like name and has a moist and delicious taste.
Gin Mikasa went on for about 6 days, and the moon halo lasted more long, so I made it a souvenir for homecoming.

　

Limited items are also topical, and since they are civilized halls, the taste is certain, so they are pleased with souvenirs.

I've been notified of Ginza, but I don't really know which street and how many streets are.
I walked from Ginza 1-chome to 8-chome on the morning of April 29, before the consecutive holidays.

From the police box in Kyobashi, "Ginza Sakura-dori St. is the street leading to the Tokyo International Forum.
The cherry blossoms were scattered, but I decided to come the next opportunity.
