August is the last week, as expected, the heat seems to have subsided a little. To Matsuya to watch the "Shotaro Ikenami" exhibition that started yesterday. The photos are displayed in front of "Matsuya Kanda", which Ikenami liked to go in front of the elevator on the 1st floor, and I was somewhat excited because I also love soba here. At the entrance of the 8th floor hall, you can see Matsuya Kanda's flowers along with flowers from Eemon Yoshiemon, who plays "Kihei" on TV and movies, and Maiko Kaji of "Strict Reconnaissance Masa".

It has been 90 years since a writer loved by many fans was born in works such as "Onihei Crime Book", "Swordsman Business", and "Sanada Taiheiki". Born in Asakusa in 1923. Kazuya Naka's original illustrations were exhibited together in the handwritten manuscript, and I remembered when I was absorbed in it and I missed it. What is overwhelmed is a list of huge works. I knew that I wrote a lot, but when it was arranged in a row, "Awesome!" That's right. A diary for three years, which can be called a "food record" that shows the reproduction and eating habits of the study that was written, a work that depicts overseas travel and familiar scenery. So TV and movie fans also recreates the costumes of "Kihei" and "Umeyasu", the soldier pots and "Gotetsu" used by Onihei for secret talks. There is also a "Ikenami Works Quiz Tour" using 7 places in the department store, and it seems that you can get a small gift if you answer correctly. It's a bit disappointing that I couldn't participate in the quiz because I didn't have time. I would like to stop by again when I have time. It seems that it will still take some time to get "cool", so how about enjoying the heat and the exhibition at the department store together?

"Shotaro Ikenami Exhibition" - until September 9th (Monday)　

Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square 10:00-20:00 on the last day 17:00 Closed

At the Ginza 5-chome Sony Building, the center of Ginza, today
We are conducting a collaborative project "46th Sony Aquarium" with the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium.

　

The large aquarium facing the Sukiyabashi intersection is a fake Goishi Utsubo with a total length of 1.5m.
Lemon sharks born in the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and Okinawa's prefectural fish sago.
The fish were swimming. In the hot city of Ginza, many children, adults, and many people.
I was healed by the fish swimming comfortably.♫

　

When you enter the Sony Building, you will find a cylindrical tank on the first floor and a colorful coral reef living in a coral reef.
Tropical fish were on display. In addition, "Churashima" at Sony Shorm.
There is a space where you can experience the nature of "Churaumi" and the "fushigi" of creatures.

A few years ago, I went to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium to play, but I felt very nostalgic.
As an adult, I think there will be fewer opportunities to go to the aquarium, so these projects are planned.
I think it's wonderful that both children and adults can enjoy together.

This event will be held until Sunday, September 1 this weekend.

Why don't you visit your summer memories with shopping?

　Bom dia !

In the second half of August, a cool breeze was blowing in the morning and evening.
It was also a fun season to walk around the streets of Ginza and go back alleys.

Today, I went to "Torigin Honten", which is famous for Kamameshi and Yakitori in Ginza 5-chome.

The menu of Kamameshi is not only bird rice, but also abalone kamameshi and small pillar kamameshi. Tea bowl steaming, soup, and pickles are added to the photo.

Though it looks small, the picture is taken when the half was tasted.

　
It's a good idea to eat yakitori during the waiting time and wait for the cooked rice to be ready.

Of course, if time permits, Avotre sante!

　
"Ginza of the world".　There are many famous shops hidden behind the alleys in a sophisticated and stylish city.　Please enjoy exploring Ginza.
Please refer to the following blog for details.　Enjoy Ginza !

Torigin Ginza Main Store

The Ginza Grape Tree is located on Azuma Street from Ginza 5-chome Harumi Street.

It is a dessert specialty store of Grapestone Co., Ltd., the same as the Tokyo Banana and Nenrin family.

Here you can enjoy freshly made hot desserts and cold desserts.

Because of Saturday, I think I waited for more than 30 minutes.

There were a lot of older people and uncles in the calm shop.

It was hot this day, so I thought it was refreshing, so I ordered Suffle O Citron.

My husband has a warm crepe szette.

A staff similar to Kenta Kiritani made a flanbe.

By the way, you can't order only drinks at the shop here.

Both were tasty, but both were strong alcohol, so they were both delicious.

If you are not good at desserts with Western sake, be careful!

Perhaps that's why there were surprisingly many elderly men (* ^^*)

Grape Tree Homepage

It's also in Ginza Mitsukoshi, and it's often seen in the basement.

The gentle color chocolate cake is very famous, but it is very famous.

I found a curry shop of TOPS in Ginza!

The location is the first basement floor of the Miwa Building on Matsuya Street.

It looks like a cake that was originally served as a restaurant dessert.

Since it opened in Akasaka in 1964, it's been almost 50 years old.

Restaurants are currently located in Shibuya and Ginza.

There are two types of curry: Dayrich, European curry and spices hot.

I topped with spice egg on spicy hot beef curry!

The set with TOPS cake (half quantity) was also attractive, but it was also attractive.

On this day, it was decided that I would go to eat cake after eating, so I chose curry only.

And there's only tomato salad.

It was difficult for a tomato NG couple to choose a set (laughs).

The shop here also has a small size that is rarely seen in the basement of Depa.

Actually, I haven't eaten the cake here yet.

Next time I'm going to buy a cake and eat it (*^^ *)

TOPS homepage

"Kifuda strap" purchased at "Senshafuda.com" opposite Higashi-Ginza Station and Kabukiza.

　

For more than six months, I've been wearing it on my wallet with a talisman.
The root string is not cut, and the wooden tag is not broken and keeps it clean.

In the neighborhood called "Shitamachi", including Chuo-ku, there are shops dealing with wooden tags and other items.
There are a lot of things. I love lucky items and often make kumade and wooden bills.

Shops dealing with wooden tags in downtown areas have many small workshops and are full-fledged.
I think some people may find it difficult to enter the store.

There are many hand-carvings at Kisatsuya, so it takes a little time to complete it.
"Senshafuda.com" is carved with a machine, so you can receive it in a short time.
Above all, I think it's easy for beginners to visit.

　

First, select the base wood (4 types).
I chose the most dense and durable "Tsuge".
Next, determine the typeface of the character (vaudeville characters, brush characters, etc.) and select the color of the root string.

There are many designs, so you can make your own original wooden tag.
"Tsukiji" is my favorite city.
On the back, the name and cute butterflies were carved.

It is also recommended as a gift for those who are close to you.
