Morning until 13:00 ★NOA CAFE Ginza store

[Mapo ★] April 16, 2012 08:30

There is a cafe in Ginza that is morning until 13:00!

I'm happy when I want to eat a little bit at lunchtime.★

I made a reservation for Sibon at 11:30 on this day, and it was 13:10 before.

Oh, you may still be able to go! I arrived at the shop 5 minutes ago (*^^*)

It is located next to the Madras shoe store along Harumi-dori St., which is also close to the intersection of Ginza 4-chome.



The appearance is cute and the inside is cute.

When you go down the stairs, the right is completely separated from the non-smoking seat and the left is the smoking seat.

The morning till 13 o'clock is 480 yen.

This product contains waffles, toasts, salads and drinks.

Depending on the drink, it costs 520 yen or the price changes.


 


I made lemon tea and waffles.

Freshly baked waffles are delicious ~ (* ^^ *) I am satisfied because it is thick!

The Kingdom of Vermeer Light Exhibition

[Many Books Osa] April 15, 2012 08:30

I went out thinking that the cherry blossoms had fallen due to the rain and wind on April 11, but the cherry blossoms in the park near my home were still in full bloom.

But the road is full of cherry blossom petals.


The weather was fine and a little sweaty on April 12th.

I've seen the "Vermeer Hikari Kingdom Exhibition" held from January 20 to July 22 on the 5th floor of "Ginza Sotoko Toro Lotus Hall" behind Ginza 5-chome Matsuzakaya.
ck0901_1204123.JPG ck0901_1204122.JPG 

Host: Vermeer Center Ginza, Kirakusha, Kosaido, Yomiuri Shimbun, Dentsu

Supervised: Shinichi Fukuoka (Molecular Biologist)

Admission fee: 1,000 yen

Opening: From 10:00 to 18:00

Closed: First and third Monday


37 items recognized as Vermeer's works, including works that have been stolen and have not yet been found, are reproduced in full size with the colors of the time. The shape of the canvas fabric was copied, and I felt like I saw a real picture.


In particular, the expensive "Lapis Lazuli" that Vermeer liked to use was vivid.

It is said that this reproduction (recreate) is being carried out with the latest digital mastering technology. There was an explanation panel at the venue for recreate.


The real thing is sometimes seen in Japan, but since it is an exhibition of about 1 to 3 points, it is wonderful that all his paintings can be seen even though it is reproduced like this .
It was exhibited by age of production, and it was good to understand the transition of his production.
Even though it was a weekday, quite a few people came to see it.

In addition, the full-scale "Vermeer's Atelier" was also reproduced, and some people took a commemorative photo here.

If you are interested or not in Vermeer, we recommend that you take a look.


It's a wonderful reproduction technology. It was said that the exhibition after July 22 has not been decided so far.

Ginza Glasses specialty store "Washin"

[Ashuan husband] April 11, 2012 08:30

About 10 years ago, I was transferred from Hamamatsu to Tokyo. I broke one lens of my glasses while I was preparing to move. I went to an eyeglass shop in a department store near Hamamatsu Station, where I was in a hurry, but I was told that I couldn't repair it because I didn't have time. However, he said, "If you go to the main store in Ginza, I will contact you so that you can repair it." As soon as I moved to Tokyo the next day, I went to the main store in Ginza where I was taught.

So I have been taking care of it many times, including my family glasses, since I had it repaired it neatly.

What I particularly care about is that you can repair it properly when the vines of the glasses are cut or the nose is broken.


At first, when I went to Washin Honten in Ginza 8-chome, I was distracted by the image of a luxury store.

However, there is not only an expensive one but also an assortment that salaried workers can buy with peace of mind.

Recently, the old eye has progressed, and it has become a store that frequently enters and exits not only during adjustment every 12 years but also when going nearby to see the glasses and have them cleaned.

I have to continue using the glasses I have used since I was a child, and I'm going to have a long relationship with Kazuma.

2012 “Kyo no Sakura” <Mikimoto Garden Plaza>

[Sam] April 10, 2012 08:30

R0018049LS.JPG R0018056RSG.JPG This year, Ginza's tradition, "Kyo no Sakura," will be exhibited at Garden Plaza in front of the Ginza Mikimoto Main Store, and it is at its best. (Scheduled by April 16)

An annual project that has been implemented since 1996 (Heisei 8) with the desire to "enjoy the four seasons and nature of Japan in the city of Ginza."

This year's cherry blossoms are "Kirigaya" cherry blossoms raised by the 16th landscaping artist Touemon Sano, who is famous as "Sakuramori". A light pink cherry tree that is characterized by a mixture of single and Yae.

After the exhibition, it is said that it will be donated to public facilities such as schools, kindergartens, nursery schools, welfare facilities, and hospitals after public offering as usual, and planted.

This year, the government hopes to recover and restore the affected areas in Great East Japan Earthquake as soon as possible.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Japan's sending approximately 3,000 cherry blossom seedlings to Washington D.C. as a proof of friendship between Japan and the United States. The company manufactures and donates pearl crowns for the queen of Sakura, selected at the Sakura Festival held in Japan and Washington D.C. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary, a pearl crown for the "Queen of Japan Sakura" is on display on the first floor of the main store. (until April 11)

In addition, in the Ginza area, about 50 rows of cherry blossom trees on Ginza Sakura-dori St., from Sotobori-dori St. to Chuo-dori, are in full bloom at Yoshino cherry tree prior to Yaezakura.
