February 24, 2013.　It is the day of the long-awaited Tokyo Marathon 2013.　Today, the north wind is cold, so I can't wait for a runner at the Suitengu intersection before 10 o'clock, and go to Dolce on the 2nd floor of Mihara Domoto store.　I ordered a hot coffee and waited for the runner to come.　I see, it's the best view.

A group of groups ran through the area of Asakusa, so we went out to see the support event.

The photo on the left shows a group dancing flamenco in front of LEGARE Nihonbashi Ningyocho.　The photo on the right shows the brass band of Nihonbashi Junior High School in Chuo Ward performing in front of Tornale Nihonbashihamacho. It was a very energetic performance.

 Enchanted by the cheerful singing voice, I clapped and stepped for a while. Sayaki Sugawara's singing voice.

Oops, the top group is passing. It seems that the first yellow wearer won the championship.

In front of the capital Taka Kabuto-cho parking lot, the enthusiasm of "Ume-ryu Edo Geikappare" is performed. Before the dance, he cheered the players with a high touch.　To Higashiginza via Nihonbashi and Ginza. The Kabukiza Theater is about to be completed.

And at ADK Shochiku Square in Higashiginza, Tsukishima Monja Hula Girls.　

Near Irifune Bridge, the members of the Gunju Hayashi support with flutes and drums.

And the runner ran through to the goal. Thank you very much for your support.　I realized that Tokyo has become one and Japan has become one.　Let's put more effort into the invitation of the Tokyo Olympics 2020!

　There are a lot of ways to enjoy the Tokyo Marathon.　

Runners are happy because the air is clear and you can run through the beautiful city of Tokyo without traffic restrictions.　
For those who enjoy walking, you can enjoy world-class fashion and international cuisine in Ginza, the center of Japan, and Nihonbashi. You can also visit shrines and temples such as Tsukiji Honganji Temple and Suitengu Shrine to experience the history of Japan. 

The supporters support acquaintances, support famous players, and support runners who are working hard without discrimination.　It's also a show of art.

　And for spectators, both runners and cheering scenes are very fun.　You can visit the cheering scenery, enjoy local specialties at Tokyo's unique international gastronomy and Tsukishima at the restaurant you are looking for, at Cafe and other places.　　The following UR introduces such support events.
See this UR, visit support events, eat delicious food, and enjoy the Tokyo Marathon. http://www.tokyo42195festa.com/street_event/index.html 

 At the cafe along the roadside, we recommend the 2nd floor of "Mihara Domoto Store" facing the Suitengu intersection (click here for HP) http://www.miharado-honten.co.jp/ and Yamamotoyama in Nihonbashi It is a cafe.

Play lovers and kimono lovers often overlap. The topic of tea after the theater is the tips for dressing "eye to scale". This month, after Nissei, it became a story about "waist strings", and from One Sama, who has been in kimono for more than 70 years, enthusiastically recommended that "waist strings are limited to the silk of the Tsuda family." As a person who has never been concerned about the waist strap brand, "!?" 。 However, I can ignore that confidence-filled One Sama's recommendation. ・・

That's why I decided to bother you right away. "Tsuda family" is a long-established store in Ginza that no one knows as a specialty store of Japanese accessories. This year marks the 100th anniversary of our founding in 1914 (1914). Ushigome-ku, where it was founded (!) In 1943, when Yamabukicho moved to Ginza during the war, it became the current building in 1986 (1986), and the third generation president Akihiko Tsuda lived in Ginza until high school students. (Lie!)

Actually, I always go in front of the Tsuda family, but this is the first time I have stepped in today. While somewhat nervous, look at the Japanese and Western bags at the 1st floor sales floor and clothes made of kimono materials, go to B1, the target Japanese accessories. When you go down the stairs, you will find small items such as obiage, obi tightening, undergarments, tabi, and hair accessories. The size is available for children. I found something unusual. It is a makeup product for the stage. I was surprised to hear that most of the male customers are cosmetics customers. It seems that there are many actors. Speaking of which, it was on HP that it was a "cosmetic booth" at the time of its founding. Now, from the waist cords you are looking for, short ones for children to simple plains, cute ones with a little pattern. There was! Silk (2,100 yenya) It's a little expensive compared to moslin, but it's a bit expensive! Thank you for making a point card. This point card called "Ginkikai" seems to be the start of 1949 (1949), and now there are point cards in any industry, so it is impossible to enter your wallet, but at that time it is ahead of the times I was impressed that it was a marketing sense. If you look closely, this card, "1 point for 1000 yen (cash), 3,000 yen for 50 points", is a 6% return rate! ! It's my first time to have such a great deal. Is that all right, Mr. Tsuda? In addition, he was taught "no deadline" and ran unintentionally like "lucky". I'm ashamed. ・・・

I'd like to take a closer look, but I'd like to relax next time. Wonderland is fun for kimono lovers, it's a little dangerous shop for your wallet.

It seems that the 100th anniversary appreciation sale is scheduled for March 22-28 and November.

From Ginza Matsuya, go to Showa-dori, cross the Showa-dori, and cross the Showa-dori.

Turn left on the second street and Elbe, a stew shop just behind the magazine house.

It was Saturday, so it was 1800 yen with beef stew, rice and pickles.

It's 1500 yen for lunchtime on weekdays.

Beef stew with mushrooms and root vegetables in the back. This is 1900 yen for topping eggs.

There was also a stewed hamburger lunch of 1050 yen!

This demigrass sauce uses sake instead of red wine as a secret ingredient.

It seems to be a sauce that has been added for 30 years.★

It was rich but not persistent, and it warmed my body this time and it was very delicious.★

The owner was also a very low and friendly person.

I should have come earlier (laughs).

 The "Flower Valentine Event" is being held at the Ginza Sony Building outdoor event space "Sony Square" from February 4th (Mon) to 14th (Thu).

Three large heart objects with a height of up to 2m, made of a total of 1,200 red flowers such as Carnation, Gerberra, Rose and dahlia appear.

Valentine's Day is originally called "a day for men and women to convey love and appreciation to each other," and I hear that the custom of giving flowers has become established in Europe and the United States and other Asian countries.

From 13:00 to 15:20 on February 11 (Mon./holiday), the first 350 people will be presented with cut flowers, and live performances by violinist Ryoma will be held from 15:40.

At the chocolate shop in the neighborhood, you can see a window display of "HAPPY VALENTINE", which has been elaborated in each of them.
