Toothbrush specialty store

[Mido] June 29, 2013 14:00

There are various specialty stores in the world, which can be surprising, but what a "toothbrush"

There was a specialty store in Ginza. The place is near the intersection of Showa-dori and Ginza Yanagi-dori St.

If I happened to take a walk, the letter "Toothbrush specialty store-" Mega Dent "" is

I've jumped into my eyes. (This kind of maniac store is easy to become a blog story)

 

By the way, when you enter the store, you can brush your teeth with colorful and various toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.

We have all the goods related to it. When I asked the clerk, the head office is located in Germany.

It is said that there are 9 stores mainly in the EU. The Ginza store opened in February 2009.

It was said that it was also sold on the Internet.

Use tools that suit you, take care of your mouth effectively and happily.

It seems that living healthy is the basis of lifestyle in Western Europe.

 

Some of the products were a little expensive, but I thought I would like to buy one to commemorate the interview.

When I was looking for it, I asked a few questions and selected a toothbrush that suits me.

Considering that you had counseling, it might have been a reasonable price.

I don't know. I think this is a service unique to specialty stores.

When you drop in nearby, it may be fun just to look at it.

How to deal with the rainy season - the incense of "Hatoido"

1. June 20, 2013 09:00

The hot and humid days continue. I think that rain is still necessary during the rainy season for rich fruits, but every day, the air in the room will somehow become heavier. What are you doing in such a case? "clean", "turn on the air conditioner", and at my house, smell your favorite incense. Today, I was cut off when I thought "Oh," I immediately went to Hatoido in Ginza. When I thought it was for the first time in a while, there was a big noshi of "350 years of founding" at the entrance.  If you visit the incense department on the second floor, it seems that it will be just 350 years since it was founded in Kyoto in 1663. It was said that he entered Tokyo in Meiji 13 (1880) to respond to the use of the palace. The founder is the 20th generation from Naozane Kumagai, and the name of Hatoido is Murotosu, famous as a Confucian scholar. Don't be impressed with "Hey!" Today's purpose is "clean scent during the rainy season." When I asked for the recommendation, I was attracted to the name of "Sink incense" or "Shiba" and asked for "Shiba" (1680 yen). According to the instructions mentioned in the above, `` Kaba '' is one of the `` six kinds of fragrances '', `` made together with sandalwood, sinking, choko, etc., image the scent of lotus, cool summer scent ". As you know, "Six kinds of fragrances" are "black", "plum plum blossoms", "wariba", "crysanthemum", "samurai", and "deciduous leaves", and the dynasty expressed Japanese aesthetic sense and seasonal feeling with these six fragrances. It seems.

On the 1st floor, I came home looking for several postcards with seasonal pictures, and I decided to enjoy the scent immediately. It has a mild yet refreshing scent that does not have any artificial smell. I feel like I'm looking forward to it. In the rain, what is your favorite scent in a relaxing time to enjoy music and reading?

"Japanese traditional knowledge" supervised by Mr. Hatoido was also popular, and it was arranged in the incense corner on the 2nd floor. You may be fashionable for yourself or for a small present to check your fuzzy knowledge.

It's a tasty season of anago [scale]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 17, 2013 09:00

Introducing the Anago Japanese restaurant "Hakarime" in Ginza 5-chome.

It's very close to Ginza 4-chome intersection.

It's on the sixth floor of the building.

Except for the counter, you can rest in a private room.

At lunch time, "Anago Hitsumabushi Shige" (This is the lunch signboard menu of this shop!) I ordered it. It's lighter and more delicious than the original eel snail, and I like this as a lunch menu. On this day, it was an eel from Kyushu, but it seems that it will be an eel from Edomae.

The ice I ordered after the meal was also very delicious with white sesame ice, and it was served!

Thank you m(__)m

June 16th is "Kasho" Day-Toraya's "Kasho Confectionery 7 Kemori"

1. June 14, 2013 14:00

In the Edo period, "Kasho" was one of the annual events of the Shogunate, the same as Goshoku and hassaku. Daimyo and Hagimoto were all registered as castles, and about 20,000 sweets arranged in Edo Castle great hall were distributed by the generals. It is a ceremony to eat confectionery and wish for protection against misfortune.

Also in the "Toto Toshijiki"

―`` Celebrate the celebration of Kasho on the 16th, the castle of Moroho, and the good luck of good luck, (Making the rice cakes of the houses, those who are shimmering, preparing and eating with 16 sentences of Zen. I can't do it. "

The origin of "Kasho" is unknown, but "It was held in samurai and courts during the Muromachi period, and what lost with Yangyu on this day was purchased food with 16 Chinese "Kadada Tsuho" and offered it to the winners . It is said that "Ka" and "Tori" were pleased by the samurai because they lead to "win". What became the most popular during the Edo period was "Ieyasu prayed for victory before the battle of Mikataga Hara, picked up Kadada Tsuho and made a lucky charm, and Tokuro Okubo of retainer presented handmade confectionery." This rattan Goro Okubo (main water) is also known for developing Koishikawa Josui, which later develops into Kanda Josui at the order of Ieyasu, but it became a confectionery shop of the Shogunate utilizing the talent of confectionery making and became a confectionery shop for the Shogunate for generations. It is said that he was deeply involved. (Toraya's HP)


Since the Meiji era, Kasho's events have been abolished, but as you know, the National Japanese Confectionery Association has begun to hold events on this day as "Wagashi Day".


100_1086.JPG

The photo shows Toraya's "Reproduction of Kasho confectionery delivered to the Imperial Palace at the end of the Edo period" (limited sale from June 14 to 16). 14 and 15 are reserved only. On the 16th, there was a store selling.) For some reason, the timing was not right every year, and the face-to-face meeting was over several years. I'm thrilled.


Time novels sometimes give sweets on "Kasho Day", but "20,000 confectionery in 500 tatami mats of great hall" "How many confectioneries manufactured?" I was expanding my imagination and delusions, such as "Isn't the daimyo secretly exchanged when the target sweets disappeared?" According to Toraya's website, "The general only gives confectionery by hand, and then leaves the back. Daimyo and Hagimoto took their own sweets. Until the second shogun Hidetada, the shogun gave confectionery himself, so his shoulders hurt for a few days. "

100_1083.JPG

In addition to this "Kasho Confectionery 7 Kemori", "Kasho Manju" and "Kasho Steamed Yokan" are also sold at Toraya, so please take a look at the store. (It is said that there are some places that are not available depending on the store.)


Toraya was founded in Kyoto in the late Muromachi period. It is a long-established long-established store that does not need to be explained again. This time, the Toraya Ginza store opened in 1947. On the 2nd floor, there is also "Toraya Tea House" where you can enjoy tea while looking at Ginza Street, and shaved ice has begun.

If you receive lucky items's "Kasho Confectionery" from "protection against misfortune and Invitation", let's bet your luck on the lottery. I have a good feeling. ・・
