Ginza Matsuya Soratoniwa

[Ashuan husband] January 30, 2014 09:00

When I heard that a skating rink was built on the roof of Ginza Matsuya, I went to the rooftop of a department store for the first time in decades. The rooftop I imagined was a children's amusement park and a snack shop for children, but I was completely disappointed.

 

 The rooftop was marked SORA x NIWA, which was completely different from the rooftop of an old department store. When I got off the elevator, there was a corner like a study, which contained several books. There was also an electrical outlet on the long table facing the wall, and there was a space for simple work on a personal computer. There was also a broadcasting room for about 4 people. I heard that they were broadcasting using the Internet during Matsuya's business hours. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture because it was just broadcasting when I visited.

When I went outside, there was a hot topic ICE PARK (skate rink). This is Japan's first rooftop link to a department store and is a limited-time event until March 2. The fee is 2100 yen with shoes until 5:00, and 2900 yen from 5:00 to 10:00. The first thing I thought about when I saw this link was the scene of "a poem of love". By the way, couples seem to have a service with shoes and drinks for 5,000 yen from 5:00. I thought, "If I'm a little younger."

On the other side of the skating rink, there is also a golf practice area called Golf Terrace, where a golf school is held. It seems that you can do it when it is empty.

What has not changed since ancient times was that "Ryuko Fudoson" is enshrined. It is very common for Japanese people to worship Fudo and Inari on the roof of the building, but for some reason I was relieved.

Chuo-ku "Fureai" town walking map will be introduced.

[kimitaku] January 28, 2014 09:00

 

This is an introduction of the city walk map.

These six maps are issued by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Chuo-ku Shopping Street Federation, and Chuo-ku.

If you pick it up and arrange it, you will be introduced to Chuo-ku with six pieces.

P1000668-1.jpg

 It is made with a gentle color that makes you want to take it in your hand and carry it around.

 

P1000669-1.jpg 


The first one.
This page is located near Nihonbashi Kyobashi from Tokyo Station.


Each of the historic shopping streets is listed, and its main events are also written.

The second one is around Ginza, and the third one is near Tsukiji.

There is also a huge map at the "Platto Tsukiji" information center outside the construction area.

P1000659-1.jpgP1000661-1.jpg

 

The fourth one is around Ningyocho Hamacho and Higashinihombashi. The fifth one is Hatchobori, Kabuto-cho, and Kayabacho.

P1000672-1.jpg P1000673-1.jpg

 In the shopping streets around Hatchobori, there are many divisions from Edo, and the shopping streets seem to remain the same as the old divisions.

 

P1000674-1.jpg

The sixth one is Tsukuda, Kachidoki, Tsukishima and Harumi.
Chuo-ku, which can be seen from this map, is surrounded by many canals and rivers, and seems to be a city of water.P1000675-1.jpg

 

Why don't you take a walk around Chuo-ku with the "Fureai Town Walking Map" in one hand on the day off?

The map seems to be limited. As soon as possible. It is provided for the ward office, branch office, and Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

 

 

We also recommend a salon lunchtime concert in the afternoon of the 140th anniversary of Ginza Jujiya.

"Ginza Jujiya afternoon salon"-a wonderful story and music in Ginza-

 

"Izutsu dancing in the twenty-five-string koto-Japanese music collaboration"

I went there. Oh! Ginzo, Noh, and koto are not linked

Yes, the person who thinks is the right answer.

 Actually, I applied for a gift of Jujiya's e-mail magazine and won the prize.

Be aware of the wrong place, and take a terrifying seat.

An easy-to-understand explanation of the Noh performance "Izutsu" by Kanta Nakamori (Kanze-style Shitekata, holder of Intangible Cultural Property).

Explanation and performance by Tomoya Nakai (Koto, Sangen "Ikuta-ryu" 25-string koto performer and composer).

In particular, I forgot the passage of time with the explanation and performance of the twenty-five-string koto, and fell in love with it.

20140119 008.JPG

"Yumeukibashi," which was based on The Tale of Genji, was a woman who suffered from a swaying sad love, and "Flame of Red Lotus" expressed her fierce feelings.

 It was a fun time to experience traditional Japanese music about Noh. 

 The photo shows Tomoya Nakai, who plays the twenty-five-string koto.

 

The lunchtime concert starts every Wednesday at 12:30.

This is also recommended. http://www.ginzajujiya.com/

 In addition, from April this year to March next year, a performance commemorating the 140th anniversary of the founding will be held throughout the year.

Click here for the event calendar for the future. I'm looking forward to it.
 
 

 

St. Luke's Health Nabis Pot Rukanabi Lunch Time Mini Lecture & Mini Concert Sr. Sancho Pansa

[Silver] January 24, 2014 09:00

 The “Lunchtime Mini Lecture & Concert” in January this year was held.

Rukabi Yoko Setoyama's "Is that health information okay?" What is health literacy? It was a mini-lecture.

There is a lot of information available in newspapers, magazines, the Internet, etc.

 

"I wonder if the information is correct, or simply convey it.

The recipient of the information correctly determines whether the information is biased.

It's important to use information smartly! "It was a very useful and kind story.

20140119 001.JPG

The usage is not too much, and if you have trouble making a decision, consult someone.

See you.

 1.Beware of the word "work"!

 2.It's not too much!

 3.If you are unsure, consult with someone who can consult!

 If you have trouble deciding on a medicine or usage, or if you are lost, go to Rakanabi! "

20140119 003.JPG

 

It was a story with fun humor that I would never forget about PR. We recommend that you join us next time.

 By the way, it was a rakugo by Shinji Yamagami, a member of Sanchotei Hanpo (pronouce Sancho Panza).

Today's performance is "Odoya Avenge".

The three people who stayed in the inn (three from the beginning) tried to stay on the floor after the fuss.

It was a slapstick-like drama woven by the samurai who stayed with the house and the owner of the inn who heard the loud chatter.

20140119 007.JPG

I thought it was a story that made it light and stylish and attracted people, and this was called a story art.

The audience was so enthusiastic about the story in front of the audience with too much enthusiasm.

The details of the story seem to violate intellectual property rights, so I will omit it, but it was an interesting and fun story anyway.

 I heard it for the first time, but I became a fan.

In addition, the stage name (the last name part is called the Teigo) is said to be called Sancho Pansa.

He named himself after the name of Sancho Panza in valet of Don Quijote, and he was a humorous man.

Shinji Yamagami seems to draw pictures, and he is also exhibiting at St. Luke's Gallery.

The next exhibition of the picture will be exhibited for about a week from June 9th. Don't miss it!

 

 

 

Shiseido Parlour's Bonbon Flomage

[Mapo ★] January 19, 2014 09:00

Speaking of Shiseido Parlour, cheesecake limited to the main store of 7-chome is famous, but it is famous for its cheesecake.

When I went to the main store the other day, I found such a cute cheesecake so I bought it.

 

Bonbon fromage!

It's a cube-shaped cheesecake.

It looks like a candy and cute!

And of course, the taste is Shiseido Parlour cheesecake, so there is no doubt.♪

840 yen for 5 pieces.

 

And the same patterned cold bags were sold for 105 yen.

This was too bad (laughs).

 

Natule, framboise, and chocolate.

 

You can also buy it at Haneda Airport or Tokyo Station Naka.

 

Shiseido Parlour also has an online shop, but there is also an online shop.

When you go to the main store, there are many limited items, and looking for them is one of the pleasures (*^^*).

 

 

 

"Matsuya Ginza" limited chocolate

[Mido] January 18, 2014 09:00

I guess many women are worried about Valentine's Day soon.

Therefore, this time, I would like to introduce the recommended chocolate limited to "Matsuya Ginza".

The chocolate is brand name HAU'OLI OLA (Hauori Ola).

It is characterized by the shape of an "H-type" in the shape of an initial.

  

By the way, you are the only one in the United States that produces cacao only in Hawaii.

Do you know that? The warm climate of Hawaii near the equator produces cacao.

It is said that it is suitable for use.

Typically, cacao producers are Africa, South America, and Asia (partially).

This region accounts for more than 80% of all cacao production.

Among them, HAU'OLI OLA is 100% rare Hawaiian cacao.

It's a chocolate made.

(It is said that Hawaiian cacao was produced for the first time in Japan.)

  

I actually tried it, but it was fruity and refreshing acidity.

It has a creamy taste with smooth and caramel flavor.

 

This year I would like to present a special chocolate to a special person.

It's recommended for those who are there.

We also sell online, making it easier to purchase.
