"Silver?" It's a word that anyone can now understand, but it's only recently that I knew that the etymology of silver bra is "drinking Brazilian coffee in Ginza". 。

According to my research, drinking Brazilian coffee at Cafe Paulista, the oldest coffee shop in Japan that still exists in Ginza 8-chome, seems to have triggered me to say "silver Bra" ... I actually went there!

The coffee shop is located along Chuo-dori and you can find it right away. It's Ginza 8-chome, near Shimbashi. There was advance information about the oldest existing coffee shop in Japan, so I thought it was a very old and hard to enter, but there is a large round signboard and you can see the inside from outside. There was only Ginza, so I waited a little because it was full. While waiting, I was observing the inside of the store, and there were photos of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I heard you went to a coffee shop here. After a while, I was taken to a vacant seat. Then, the clerk told me in a shout, "Actually, this is the seat where John Lennon sat," and I was a little excited!

The fully booked coffee shop in Ginza was a calm and calm coffee shop with an atmosphere where you could hear John Lennon's music when you listen while drinking Brazilian coffee, despite some liveliness.

When I made my account on the way home, I got a silver bra certificate.

"You prove today that you enjoyed the silver bra (walking along Ginza Street and going only to Café Paulista for Brazilian coffee)."

I'm glad if you can prove a silver bra (laughs) Also, the back side is a stamp card (laughs).
It's a drink full service with 10 points. When I went to Ginza, I would like to go only for Brazilian coffee again. Everyone, please do a silver bra!  

 

On the morning of the 19th, when I was taking a pleasant walk, "New Castle" was closed. There was a sticker in the shop, and many people wrote it.

 

I'm afraid I've never eaten it. I wanted to try it at least once. What kind of taste did the sweet and spicy “spiced rice” taste?

 

The building that used to be the former Sukiyabashi Hankyu was also demolished. I didn't know even though I was a central inhabitant. If you walk, many buildings are dismantled and built, and you have to go a little.

 

The streets are changing rapidly. It's also attractive, but it was up to I decided to go into the shops I care about.

 

 

　　　　　

 

 

Hotel Seiyo Ginza, which has been closed for more than a month, is crowded with familiar people who are willing to close the event and customers who say "sometimes". At the bar and lounge "Preluded" on the 2nd floor, popular desserts from the past at "Repetowa" and "Atore" are gathered and the "Reprint Desert Fair" is held from April to May. One afternoon, when Golden Week approached, I came to Prelude with my friend. It's almost full! It is said that the number of customers has continued to increase since the announcement of "closed". I decided to have a menu for April immediately.

Left "Pannacotta Red Fruit and Passion Fruit Scent"

Right "Scotch whiskey flavor angel Sabaran".

2,310 yen with coffee or tea. In April, there are three other types of "Suffle cardamon ice cream with ginger".

Pannacotta is a popular menu of Italian cuisine "Atore", and "Sabaran" is said to have been arranged with Scottish whiskey in connection with the closing movie "Angel Separation" of the movie theater "Theatre Cinema Ginza" in the same building. "Suffle of ginger" (3,003 yen) is one of the most popular dishes among preludes. Needless to pull the prust "Madleine", the taste is tied to memory and difficult to understand. After the theater at Theatre Ginza, Pannacotta I received many times without squeezing the excitement of the play, and again, "Is it the last time to taste it? I think it's a special taste. It was 10 years ago that the fresh thing was so impressed by the blueberries that did not turn so much? ・・

The three types of May are "Nostalgic Tayramice", "Matcha Cream Breweries", and "Pistachcho-flavored Barbara".

 

You can spend a moment of strolling around Ginza, such as the afternoon of a vacant GW, "soak in memories" or "once in the seed of story". I recommend it.

　Neat white flowers are blooming on the tree of "Ichibago", also known as "Nanja Monja". (April 22)

This is Miyuki Street, the street between Ginza 5-chome and 6-chome.

 

Why don't you enjoy the flowers of Ginza when you go shopping or eating?

 

Is it best to see Hitotsubago until around April 27?

 

 

 

On Matsuya Street, you can see the white and pink flowers of dogwood, USA. 

 America's dogwood was given in return for the Yoshino cherry tree sent from Japan.

 

Why don't you stop and take a break?

 

 

 

 

 

This year, from April 22 to early May, the flowers of the marronnier, commonly known as the marronnier, will bloom on Marronnier Street between Ginza 2-chome and 3-chome. From the cafe on the second floor of the plantan at Marronnier Gate, you can see the Marronnier flowers blooming in front of you from the second floor of the coffee shop opposite the Matsuya Ginza store up close.　

Please refer to the previous blog post for details. /archive/2011/05/post-780.html

 

 

 

　It seems that the peony blooms early this year.　On April 19th, I went to Hamarikyu Onshi Garden.

At the end of the Yan Liao Museum, wisteria flowers are blooming from the teahouse in Nakajima to the pine teahouse.

Today, there were a lot of foreign customers and photographers for wedding anniversary.

 

 

 

For foreigners, Yae-zakura is rare. I was collecting the petals of the double cherry blossoms.

Have a good memory as a souvenir!

 

There were repeaters on the promenades of Yae-zakura such as Kanzan, regretted the remnants.

 

 

 

Let's go to Botanen, where the general rises, the boarding waiting area for Asakusa and Odaiba are right.

 

 

 

There is no name tag on the peony here.　It would be love rather than remembering the name.

Here too, many foreign customers came and enjoyed the flowers slowly.

 

Please go out, too.
