Recommended for entertainment and dating "Ginza Jisaku"

[Mido] September 27, 2013 08:59

This time's recommendation is "Ginza Jisaku". At a Japanese restaurant near Tsukiji in Ginza 8-chome.

It's not a shop that says "a little bit of a cup after work" ... but entertainment and special date

It's perfect for you. 


 

The interior of the store has a well-built Japanese-style interior with a high-class atmosphere and all rooms are available.

It is a completely private room.

The full course of cooking is at least 10,000 yen, and there is a threshold for the poor like me.

It has a high feeling, but it is a shop that you want to use only on special days.

The dishes are made with orthodox Japanese-style kaiseki, appetizers, soups, sashimi, baked goods, etc.

Mouth, meat dishes, porridge, desserts are all delicious enough to surprise.

I'm satisfied.

 

And our signboard menu "water-cooked porridge" is an exquisite word. "Water-cooking

A traditional taste made by a chef specializing in water cooking called "" uses only chickens, water and onions.

That's right. Each customer is assigned a customer service charge one by one.

It is finished in the field, so you can enjoy the ultimate taste without having to bother your hands.

"Kyobashi XX" in Chuo-ku

[Apricot peony] September 25, 2013 09:00

Nowadays, there are Chuo-ku everywhere in Japan, but in the middle of Tokyo, our Chuo-ku was born together in 1947 with Nihonbashi-ku and Kyobashi-ku.

 

In the past, public facilities in Kyobashi Ward continue to play a role almost, but even if the name changes to "Chuo-ku", you can see quite a few things with the name "Kyobashi" as it is.

 

For example, "Kyobashi Plaza" has a house on a ward hall or community hall.

My address is Ginza 1-chome.

In the past, there was "Kyobashi Elementary School" in this place, but it was integrated with Tsukiji Elementary School to become "Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School", and the school building uses the former Tsukiji Elementary School.

"Kyobashi Park", which is adjacent to Kyobashi Plaza, was from the time of elementary school.

ck1203_130925 (3). jpgSpeaking of Tsukiji 1-1-1, the ward office is located there, and the Kyobashi Library is attached to it.

There are many valuable materials about Chuo-ku in the underground regional archives here, so you can easily browse them, and in some cases you can borrow them.

The reference is really familiar with the history of Chuo-ku and is always taken care of.

The Kyobashi Post Office is also located near the out-of-market market in Tsukiji.

Due to the privatization of the postal service, the postal business will be "Harumi Post Office Kyobashi Branch Office", but the building is "Kyobashi Post Office".

Old residents say "Kyobashi's headquarters".

 

And in Shintomi, "Kyobashi Tax Office".

There used to be Shintomiza here, and its explanation board was built.

I grew up locally, but it was strange that there was a building with "Kyobashi XX" even though it was not in Kyobashi, but looking at the history, there was a proper reason I knew it, it was very interesting.

 

 

 

Kind hospitality at Sony's warm hospitality

[Silver] September 24, 2013 09:00

 

 Today, I was in trouble because the battery of the digital camera was running low. 

Suddenly, I went to the "Sony Customer Consultation Counter" on the 4th floor of Sony Building.

In other words, he was happy to charge and waited for the latest products on the 4F, 3F, and 2F.

 

On the 3rd floor, we enjoyed the beautiful World Heritage and the cityscape of cities around the world with a powerful large screen by the company's televigation BRAVIA.

 

On the 2nd floor, people sitting and experiencing were lined up to try a 3D-compatible head mound display.

In order to experience it easily, I was able to stand, wear earphones, and look at the display in front of me. 3D is really amazing.

In addition, there is Concierge Room on the 2nd floor, and if you make a reservation, you will be kindly consulted about TV, PC, Audio, etc. at home.

 

Please enjoy going out in Ginza and SONY Bldg. when you have time.

 

I am sure that foreign customers will be pleased.

The "Phoenix of Happiness" at Kabukiza Theater

[Apricot peony] September 19, 2013 09:00

The fifth generation Kabukiza Theater opened in April this year.

While following the fourth generation, various improvements have been made, such as escalators and elevators inside making it barrier-free, increasing the number of women's toilets, and making the seats wider and easier to see.

ck1203_130917 (3). jpg
Under such circumstances, what was not in the previous Kabukiza was the exhibition of the rooftop garden on the 5th floor and the "Memorial Kabukiza" on the 4th floor corridor.

Fortunately, you can enter for free even if you don't have a play ticket, just like the underground Kibikicho Square.

ck1203_130917 (10). jpg

 

 
The rooftop garden, which can be reached by a dedicated elevator from Kiboricho Square, surrounds the lawn in the middle, features the clay roof tile of the Phoenix used in the Kabukiza Theater and the stone lantern in the house of Mokuami Kawatake.

 

From there, if you go down the red-painted stairs, the 4th floor corridor will be titled "Kabukiza of Memories", a model of Kabukiza from the first generation built in 1889 to the recent fourth generation, and stage photos of old famous actors are on display.

ck1203_130917 (9). jpg ck1203_130917 (1). jpg

 

By the way, this red-painted staircase descending from the 5th to 4th floor was named after Goemon Ishikawa, a large thief in the world who said from the Nanzenji Temple Sanmon Gate, "clay roof tile, which can be seen in the middle of the stairs.

 

That's because only one of the "phoenix" at the tip of the tile is facing the head opposite.

 

Originally, "Phoenix" is a symbol of the Kabukiza Theater and is used in buildings, interiors, and Japanese lantern.

ck1203_130917 (8). jpg ck1203_130917 (4). jpg

 

What's the difference?

I couldn't understand even if I looked down, so when I asked the person in charge nearby, he said, "It's the tip of the seventh tile from the right."

ck1203_130917 (2). jpg(← Click to increase it.)

Let's take a closer look again...。

I had it!

Certainly the direction of the wings and fuselage is the same, but the other is facing the right, but only one opposite to the left!

It may be a little playful, but when I found it, I was really happy.

ck1203_130917 (5). jpg ck1203_130917 (6). jpg ck1203_130917 (7). jpg

 

This tile seems to be called the "Phoenix of Happiness", but it certainly felt a little happy as when I found a four-leaf clover.

 

Even if you don't see a play in particular, if you have a little time near Kabukiza, how about going to see this "Phoenix of Happiness"?

 

In addition, since the stairs are narrow, please be careful to keep safe traffic so that you do not disturb the traffic of other people or get absorbed in stepping off.

Hisasuke! C'est    ne pas 10.

Yes, it's less than 10, it doesn't reach 100%, but it's broken.

It is said that rice crackers that cannot be sold at the right price have come to be called this in the industry.
It is sold from 7:00 am and can be purchased before going to work, so it is useful for friends to eat snacks at 10 o'clock or 3 o'clock.

This morning, at 10 o'clock I flattened one bag with my wife at home.  It's also perfect for holiday snacks.
There is also "Enmochi", a rice cake with raw confectionery bean paste. There are two types of this, red bean paste and bean paste. Please try it once.

 Don't forget to go out to Ginza and Tsukiji! This morning too, I served cold tea, and the heat was drawn. It is a shop that offers warm hospitality.

C'est omotenashi ! C'est tres bien !

 

The location of the store is

Sandwich lunch at Cafe Bridge

[Mapo ★] September 17, 2013 09:00

 

I wanted to eat pancakes, so it was a shop that came out when I was looking for it.

Go down the stairs next to Questina on the first basement floor of the Nishiginza Department.

It's like an old-fashioned coffee shop.

 

There were so many different types of pancakes.

But when it came to the stage where I actually ordered, I wanted to eat salty food and eventually had a sandwich lunch (laughs).

 

This is also an old-fashioned coffee shop sandwich. It's nostalgic and delicious~ (*^^*)

Oh, by the way, I had the tomato pulled out (laughs).
