How do you spend the transition from autumn to winter?

My favorite town in Ginza seems to be quietly standing in preparation for the end of the year, and it seems to be preparing for the coming of winter, and it is still an attractive town.

At [Ginza Nikon Salon] located in Ginza 7-chome, we are actively holding solo exhibitions of unique photographers.
In terms of "cutting moments," the art of photography seems to be a comprehensive art that combines the expressiveness of painting with the realism of Haiku.　

Now, at this salon, "Yoshiharu Higa Photo Exhibition" is being held until December 4th.
Higa is from Okinawa and travels to the United States at a young age, and is now a wonderful photographer living in New York.
I was introduced to a first-year sightseeing correspondent, a cat on a hill, and came to visit immediately.

[Ginza Nikon Salon] is located in the side of [Ginza Matsuzakaya], and is a spot where people who love photos and cameras can go through. This time, Higa's photo exhibition is titled "Chiraga-Okinawa bare skin", and exhibits a number of works that mainly capture the natural modeling of Okinawa from a unique perspective. It seems to be full of love and respect for nature in casual landscapes such as rocks, cliffs, and plants. Do you say "silence but eloquent"?　

 

 By the way, "Chiraga" is the Ryukyu dialect, which means "the skin of the face", mainly refers to the skin of the pig's face. It may be that the author's desire to convey the life of Okinawa is included.

The salon is free to enter, so please drop in when you go out to Ginza.

I think you can feel a conversation with nature that interacts through the Finder.　

 

 

I ate eel bowl at Ginza Takebatei, which I wanted to visit once before.

I would like to go to the main store in Kibiki-cho, but first from the Ginza store (* ^^*)

It is located along Harumi-dori St., the intersection of 4-chome.

There are A and B for eel bowls, A costs 2310 yen, and B costs 2850 yen.

I should have asked what the difference was (^^;

I'm not sure, but I tried B for the time being.

Eels in front of Edo are open back. The steaming method is also different.

I'm a Kansai person, so I'm familiar with the eel of Osaka.

This is delicious (*^^*)

It's strange because I feel like eating eels will give you energy (laughs).

　

The weekend is crowded even though it is not the day of the Ox at the end of August (^^;

It's a few tens of minutes to wait outside the shop in the rain. It's a popular shop!

Ginza Kansei is located in the West Fifth Avenue Building in the West Fifth Avenue of Ginza's West Fifth Avenue

This is the shop of Chef Miki Yasushi Sakata.

It is a homey shop that is French but does not have a high threshold.

He is very friendly to come to the kitchen and listen to wine himself.

A French lunch in Ginza with a credit card campaign

I made a reservation for a plan that I could eat for 3,000 yen, but the content was a lunch of 6,000 yen!

There is a welcome drink, and the first appetizer.

This appetizer was very vivid with a variety of vegetables.

For some reason, I forgot to take a picture ... Shock (>_<)

The next thing that came out was the cold soup of beats! Beet soup is unusual!

　

Homemade bread. The round was delicious just before this!

House wine is the white of Bourgogne! This is also perfect for cooking.

　

The main dish is flounder with fish and meat with Japanese beef.

This flounder has excellent sauce with white wine and the best mariage!

The five grain rice next to the meat is unique to a Japanese chef.

　

For dessert, babaroa of matcha and salt caramel ice cream!

　

I also like authentic rich French, but I also like it.

French cuisine made with domestic vegetables by Japanese chefs

It tastes delicious and gentle~ (*^^*)

It's a good souvenir for the elderly! And a specialty store of Amanatto that I've been worried about for a long time.

This is Suzuya in Ginza 8-chome.

Actually, I can't eat Amanatto, but I think it's good as a souvenir (laughs).

It looks good on the day of respect for the elderly.

When you look at various things on the net, what a chestnut sweet natto!

This is no longer a natto (laughs).

　

It's time for New Chestnuts! This is decided~ (*^^*)

As a souvenir, I made it a combination of new chestnut and astringent chestnut.

And new chestnuts in a bag for myself.

However, this is almost 1000 yen for 5 pieces (^^;

At that time, I received tea and Yuzu Amanatto, which was newly released on that day (November 5) at the shop.

Uses citron skin from Kochi prefecture and Tokushima prefecture.

This is also delicious (*^^*)

I bought something in a bag for myself.

　

After all, I gave it to my friends, but it's good when I want to eat something sweet!

Ginza Suzuya, a Japanese sweet shop of Amanatto, is a long-established store that has been in business for 60 years.

It seems to be relatively in the Kanto department store, but the main store is Ginza 8-chome.

There are still shops in Ginza that I didn't know yet.

From the SONY Building, follow Ichibankan and Nishi-Ginza-dori, and you will find a stationery store called "G.C.PRESS" just across Miyuki-dori.　I haven't noticed until now, but this year marks the second anniversary of this year. If you look inside the shop for a while, there is also a notebook made of Italy, a notebook of black leather like Ginza.　The price is about 7500 yen, which is reasonable. It is recommended for those who are considering a new year's notebook.

Some celebration bags are also for celebration to foreigners.　There are also nice envelopes designed with snow crystals.

It's a small shop, so you can find good and necessary items quickly.　It was a message from the store manager to feel free to drop in. Click here for more information. http://www.gc-inc.co.jp/g01.html　　

 

 

There is a white snake in the brand building on the corner where Ginza Chuo-dori and Marronnier Street intersect.

 

 

This is a luxury brand building with a motif of Serpenti (a snake in Italian) and is famous for its watches that look like snakes wrapped around their arms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To commemorate the Christmas illuminations and the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Ginza Building, it will be lit every day from 9th of this month to the beginning of the new year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From now on, Ginza will become more gorgeous with illuminations toward the end of the year.
