Ginza Soap ★Reberations

[Mapo ★] September 29, 2010 19:13

It's a shop I happened to pass by and found at 1-chome.
"Ginza Soap" was written on the outside signboard, so I tried to enter it.

It was like an aromatherapy shop, and there was also an essential oil.

It seems that it will take at least one month to complete this Ginza soap.
Synthetic surfactants, artificial fragrances, using only raw materials that are thoroughly particular about quality.
It seems that they do not use any preservatives or alcohol.

Black diamond, aquamarine, pullmeria, avocado, olive, LOVE IS ...
There are 6 types, but there was a trial size that was half the thickness of ordinary soap, so I purchased it.
It's 945 yen with a handkerchief.

However, this soap is also written as Ginza Soap.
It seems that this pink part is a natural clay with a licensee premium soap.
Since it contains camellia oil and natural clay, is it a gradation version of LOVE IS ...?

At this shop, I've been promoting tourist association correspondents (laughs).

On the way home, I received a sample set of 6 kinds of Ginza soap (* ^^ *)

Basically, it seems to be a facial soap, so I tried using it immediately.♪
Creamy foam leaves your skin clean even after washing.
If this is good for your skin, you don't have to say it!

And there was such a heart soap. It's 500 yen in heart shape.

There was also a soap for dogs called Ginza DOGS.

There was also a franchise treatment oil.
At 22:00 for the witches, Franckinsense was introduced as a rejuvenation oil.
When I tried using the tester, it was very moist.

Pasta with Oji Salmon's salmon chip!

[Mapo ★] September 24, 2010 09:15

This is also a shop I found in the Ginza 100-point booklet.
This is a salmon company of the Oji Paper Group.
Prototypes of smoke salmon began in 1964.
It seems that he established a salmon company in Hokkaido.
After all, salmon is Hokkaido!

The main store and factory are located in Hokkaido, but the headquarters is located in 3-chome in Ginza.
Also, I think there are sales offices in Osaka and Nagoya.

Every month, Ginza Hundred Points contain photos of dishes using this salmon.
The staff of the shop gave me a lot of kind explanations (*^^*)
You can also sample the tip!

R0014430.JPG R0014432.JPG

It was hot on this day, so I stopped smoked salmon and tried to make salmon chips.
This can be taken home at room temperature, and it seems easy to use.

I tried to make pasta!

R0014496.JPG R0014498.JPG

They seem to have been dismantling salmon since 2 o'clock on Thursday.
There seems to be something like a spot sale on the spot.

After that, they also sold salmon crabs.
It looks good as a souvenir for the end of the year.

R0014433.JPG R0014456.JPG

Other than Tokyo, we also have sales offices in Sapporo and Osaka.
Department stores are available in Tokyo, Yokohama and Nagoya.

Ginza Karaku's kiln-baked cream puffs and baked sweets

[Mapo ★] September 14, 2010 11:00

After entering Matsuya-dori in Ginza 4-chome, it is next to the building of Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ.
A shop I found when I visited the office of the Ginza Street Federation.
It is a shop where you can enjoy a variety of French sweets.

First of all, the specialty is this kiln-baked cream puff.
It seems that they are baked in a stone kiln in the store.
Brown rice custard, apricot, matcha, figs
There are 4 kinds of cream, and if you go when it is freshly baked, you can go there.
You can fill it with cream on the spot.
It seems that it is a way of eating that can only be done in Ginza Karaku.

R0014575.JPG R0014577.JPG

It was not freshly baked, so I ordered it normally.
I made brown rice custard.
Cream cream puff, brown rice flour flavored umai (*^^*)
The surface is not as hard as Cookie Shoo, and it has a crispy texture.
I don't like very hard Shoo skin.
This kind of crispy is just right and delicious.

R0014593.JPG R0014592.JPG

I took out some baked goods.
The spiral pie is also fragrant.
And his favorite Duckworth,
Is the sample a little too moist? I thought it was
What I took out was good with almonds, crispy and delicious.

R0014607.JPG R0014610.JPG

And this is a baked confection called Macaron Damiens.
It seems that it was before Macaron was introduced from Italy.
This macaron was born in the ancient capital of Amian in northern France.
Write Macarons d'Amiens.

It's all right outside. When you chew it, it looks like a nugger.
I prefer cookies, so this is also delicious!
It was 480 yen for 6 pieces.

There seems to be a cake class, so I'd like to go there once~★

R0014574.JPG R0014573.JPG

Here too, I publicized the correspondent and the radio, and received permission to shoot (* ^^ *)

The bees dance in the sky of Ginza (Ginza Bee Project)

[Yurikamome] September 8, 2010 15:00

2010_0906 Bees and Vegetables. JPGDo you all know that bees are flying in the sky of Ginza? ・・・・

Bees are called "environmental indicator animals" and cannot live long in environments where pesticides and pesticides are often used.

However, since 2006, the rooftop of the Paper and Pulp Hall has been used as a home to collect and transport dense from honey sources in the Ginza area.

The area where honeybees can carry honey is a radius of 4 km and the height seems to fly well about 50 meters.

Ginza seems to be far from the natural environment, but the nectar source carries nectar unrelated to pesticides from Hamarikyu, Hibiya Park, the Imperial Palace, street trees and flower beds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the roof of the paper pulp hall in Ginza, people of the "NPO Ginza Bee Project" keep Western bees and Japanese bees, actually collect and bottle them, sell them, or cooperate with confectioneries to make sweets together.

Honey is also sold at the honey specialty store "Laveil Ginza" on Matsuya Ginza B1F.

Bee hut

Let me see you

Thank you very much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A population spleen frame made of straw material.

In a month, it accumulates so dense that it can be collected.

Take nectar with a knife. 

There is more bissiri nectar around May and June, but it is less in September.

Put the dried nectar in a stirrer.

Last year, 800 kg of nectar was collected, but this year it will be around 860 kg.

There are many be-gardens on the rooftop of the Ginza Building and other to nurture Ginza bees.

① Ginza Blossom rooftop: canola flower

② Whitezuru Sake Brewery Rooftop ... Sake rice edamame

③ Matsuya Ginza rooftop ... Summer vegetables (Nasuedamame sweet potato)

④ Tokyo Gallery ... is very popular with customers.

⑤ Marronnier gate

The following is a rooftop farm planting schedule scheduled for the roof of the Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building.

"Ginza Bee Project" is growing, supported by many companies and many individual members.

I borrowed a special combination of white jackets and green hats with nets in the hut where I received the interview very comfortably and worked on the bee.

Bees are perfume, hangovers, dislike the smell of sweat and get angry on rainy days, cloudy days, and cold days, so nestling box cannot be opened.

We hope that everyone will understand Ginza well in consideration of small creatures, and that pesticide-free flowers and vegetables will grow on the roof of the building.

At the cafe, you can enjoy Sweets such as cakes and drinks made with Linz chocolate, as well as waffles and snacks.

Both the "Cake & Drink" set and the "Light meal (slight meal) & Drink" set are cheaper than ordering individually! !

 

I came to you late in the afternoon, so the type of cake in the showcase was decreasing.

We had a "Cake & Drink" set.

"Milk Chocolate Shake" (normal 1/2 size), "Strawberry & Mango Verine (with glass)" and "Wimbledon".

I'm very happy that the drink comes with Petit Pralinee Chocolat!

 

lindt34.jpglindt33.jpg

 

 

The cake is made carefully and has a high-quality taste.

Is the shake blended with vanilla ice cream?

It's full of vanilla beans, but it's smooth and easy to drink, and I liked the first and second most chocolate drinks!

In addition to cakes and chocolates, various things are sold in the store.

Congratulations.   (Photo from left: Kobayashi, Kamata, Sasaki)IMG_5360tcomp.jpg

 The harsh summer heat continues, but I've been watching the finals, so I'll introduce it.

 

 On September 4th (Saturday), the final round was held on a special stage where the "Tenjo Statue" in the central hall on the 1st floor of Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store watched.

In the meantime, as an attraction, singing songs based on Mother Teresa of singer "U (Yu)" was performed, and everyone at the venue listened to the beautiful singing voice for a while.


30 minutes after the selection started, the results of the screening are finally announced. The contestants line up on the stairs on both sides of the statue of the heavenly woman.

Mr. Sawada of Miss Chuo, the 28th Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador, Miss Chuo, will receive the paper with the results of the examination from the chair of the examination and hand it to the chair.
