Walking from Nihonbashi to Ginza Ins

[Catherine] February 29, 2012 08:30

Nadeshiko Japan's director Sasaki is advised by his wife and says that it is better to try to take care of nose hair for grooming.


I am also interested in that informationflair

The shop you have inquired.

Founded in 1792 

Mr. Kiya, Nihonbashi

KIYA Original Nosal Harvest Varican Rotary Cut (¥2,310)


Have you been calming down this year?

And a present to the other party on Valentine's Day

I'll try

On the day of Valentine's Day

When I went to Nihonbashi Kiya Honten, I had everything left and made a reservation. It's very popular.


Please make a reservation and contact us at a later date.
The shop carefully taught me how to care for it.
I realized again that care is important for tools. If you use it carefully, you can use it comfortably for a long time. I also purchased hand oil for care.

The other person who usually cuts his nose hair with scissors, convinced that he was able to cut it, and looked at the mirror.sweat01

KIYA's nose hair varican rotary cut!  I was delighted with the smooth cut.happy01


How about a gift for your husband or father?

Then, on the way to Ginza Inns, we passed Nihonbashi and went to Ginza.


The movie "Kirin's Tsubasa-Theatrical Version, Newcomers-" is popular.

The person taking the picture stands out.


We arrived at Ginza Inns near 3 o'clock and had a very late lunch.


Shops that have been crowded these days 

It is spaghetti & curry "Japone" on the 1st floor of Ginza Ins.

It is also famous as a shop with many lines.


Regular (Normal) and Jumbo (Omori) and on top of it are Yokozuna sign01and mastersign01

So, sign01even if you are a regular president, you can eat it, and how much is your master? I'd like to see it.


It was 3 o'clock, so I thought it would be a little okay, and I was still in line.

I was so hungry that I thought it was a great success today, but I had half the time to eat, so I'm a regular mentaiko! (¥550)

Put ¥550 in your pocket and go back to the line so that you can pay immediately. Most men are at first

I'm sorry, but now I don't mind it.

It's the taste of Japanese, "Spaghetti", because it's a nostalgic taste.

It's cheap, delicious and voluminous, so let's make it a big success this time!

There were so many kinds of things that were difficult to choose.

A tempura bowl for lunch at Ginza Tenkuni in 8-chome

[Mapo ★] February 29, 2012 08:30

Ginza Tenkuni is located opposite the Hakuhinkan in Ginza 8-chome.
It is a historical tempura shop founded in 1885.


Lunch tempura bowl can be eaten for 1100 yen on weekdays (* ^^ *)
2 shrimp, kisu, squid fried


Since this day was Sunday, a regular menu
I ate a bowl of 1575 yen.
2 shrimp, kiss, squid fried chicken, lotus root and eggplant.


 


There is also 893 yen for children's tempura bowl.♪


The window seat on the second floor is a large window glass.
You can eat while looking at the opposite Hakuhinkan, Burberry, and Ginza Street.


The freshly fried tempura is wrapped in a bowl sauce of Tengoku tradition.
At that moment, the oil goes out into the bowl sauce, and at the same time, there is a rich bowl sauce.
Soak in the tempura at once, and the tempura made with rice bowl sauce
By putting it on freshly cooked rice, the traditional Edomae Tendon is completed.


--Excerpt from the store's website--

This dark taste is Edomae Tendon.
I'm full with great satisfaction because it's rich!

Leaf Pie "Enju" - Wind and Soil

1. February 23, 2012 08:30

Do you know "Goe" (Enju)? "Goes" is a deciduous deciduous Takagi of the legume family, native to China, with yellow-white butterfly-shaped flowers in summer, and later produces a pearl-shaped pod. Buds are raw materials for Chinese herbal medicine [Kojien). It seems that the street trees on Ginza Sotobori-dori St. (Nishi Ginza Street) were previously planted with this Enju.


This time, I would like to introduce a leaf pie with the leaves of this Enju.


100_0407.JPG"Kaze and Sochi" was founded in 2009 and has its main store in Nishi-Ginza-dori. That's why I made a pie based on Enju, which was originally planted. It is nearly twice as thick as normal leaf pie. According to the shop, "We folded the simple dough of domestic flour and 100% Hokkaido butter and sprinkled organic white sesame as an accent." Many people know that "sweets are in the climate" have recently become popular due to their commitment to materials, and their exposure on TV and magazines is noticeable.

 

There was a map of Ginza street and street trees in the leaf pie box. "When the brick street was completed, pine, maple, cherry blossoms, etc. were planted on the street trees, but soon died, so we planted willows instead, which took root. It disappeared several times due to road renovation and fire, and the current willow is the fourth generation, and most guidebooks found in most guidebooks, so the image of "Ginza street tree = willow" was somehow fixed. In addition to willows, there are many things like dogwood, maple and Magnolia kobus. While walking around Ginza on a daily basis, I didn't care about the street trees only during the cherry blossom season (reflection). It should be warmer every day (?) In the coming season, how about a new way to enjoy "Silver Bra", which takes a walk while looking at the street trees? Even so, I would be glad if you put the name of "Street Tree" next to the name of the street on the map at the information in the city. (Although there are some streets such as Marronnier Street and Yanagi-dori St..) In addition, "Enju" seems to be partly left on Miyuki Street and Sotobori-dori St.

Ginza New Chocolatry OPEN Part 1

[Satsuki Yanagi] February 22, 2012 08:30

In Ginza, there are many famous chocolate shops (chocolate shops) in the world (including underground and street shops).


And this year, New Year's Day is over, and three new shops are open on January 4th, just before Valentine's Day!


The two of them all know well: Next to the building of the Belgian Chocolatery & Cafe "Pierre Marcolini Ginza", two shops were OPEN with their neighbors.

P1070580.jpg Today, I would like to introduce one of them (the shop on the right in the photo above).

P1070582.jpgFrance has been a long-established store in Albowa, the Jura region for more than 100 years.

"HIRSINGER Ilsan Jeh,"

In Albowa's main store, the first store and atelier becomes like a museum and is open to the public.

P1070583.jpgEdward Ilsan Jeh, the fourth-generation current owner and chocolatier, won the M.O.F. (Best Technology Craftsman Award in France) at the age of 33, and suddenly became a notable chocolatier worldwide.

The tricolor color on the collar of the cock coat is only allowed by M.O.F.

Mr. Edward and his wife

P1070584.jpg

Rabbits of the Pack Festival (Easter), fish molds of Poisson Dubrile (Aprilefur), and sables of Noel (Christmas), which have been handed down from generation to generation, are displayed in the store.

The eyes, nose and mouth are carved, and cute!

P1070586.jpg

And it's the important chocolate, but most of them were sold out.

Everything seems to be ¥600, ¥800, ¥1000, depending on each category.

 

"Part de Freuy (Fruit Jelly)" was on sale a little bit.

P1070585.jpg

 

Depending on what I heard from a certain person ...

Edward, who came to the store earlier this month, was surprised by these pricing!

"In France, sweets you enjoy everyday, so it's not so expensive."

"I am very pleased with the passion and affection of Japanese people for chocolate."

P1070587.jpg 

Everything is handmade and air-lifted from France, so Itashikatanashi! That's right.

Would you give it to someone?

What a reward for yourself?

You may need more courage than usual when you get a single grain!
