Kiralito Ginza

[TAKK...] Nov. 26, 2014 17:00

I went to the commercial facility "KIRARITO GINZA" in Ginza 1-chome, which opened on October 30 (Thursday).

20141126 (2). JPG

First of all, we had lunch at "WORLD DINER produced by cow master".

Appetizers and drinks are in a buffet style.

20141126 (3). JPG

The main one comes.

This is a hamburger.

20141126 (4). JPG

This is a hamburger.

It will be provided in an open state.

The meat is juicy and very delicious.

We stopped by "Kiwa Seisakusho" on the 5th floor.

It is an accessory parts shop where you can easily enjoy handmade.

The inside of the store is quite large.

At the experience corner that even beginners can enjoy, challenge making "UV resin" accessories with my wife.

Beginners are safe because the clerk will teach you kindly.

20141126 (1). JPG

"UV resin" means "ultraviolet curing resin", and liquid that reacts to ultraviolet rays and hardens can be poured into a mold to create your favorite shape.

This time, I made a hair band and earrings.

I'm clumsy and it took time, but if I immerse myself in the work, it would be a change of mind, and when I can do it, I have a sense of accomplishment.

Next, go to the fruit tart specialty store "Deris tart & Cafe".

You can enjoy tasty tart with a cute French-style interior.

20141126 (5). JPG

Tart of kuri and matcha.

20141126 (6). JPG

Strawberry tart.

Both were very elegant.

The gelato also looked delicious.

The inside of the glass-walled building was very bright and open, delicious food was eaten, and valuable experiences were also available.

In the basement, there are still many popular shops such as "My Italian TOKYO".

I'd like to go again.

 

 

This is gorgeous!

 Since 2012, Takashi Tanaka Metal Jewelry http://pn.blog.jp/archives/1013975573.html has produced a pure gold Disney tree.

The Disney characters loved all over the world are boldly expressed with a pure gold tree and exhibited at the store of GINZA TANAKA Ginza Main Store, but this year it is a platinum made with the motif of the blockbuster movie "Ana and the Snow Queen" It is "Disney Platinum Christmas Tree-Anna and the Snow Queen"!

 It seems that it took about half a year from planning to completion, but the price is 31 kg of pure platinum and the price is 300 million yen (tax included)! 
GINZA TANAKA Ginza Main Store 1F until December 25th.

 

Ana Snow 1.JPG

Ana Snow 2.JPG

 
 For those who don't have a little hand, there is also a silver tabletop mini tree "Disney Silver Christmas Tree - Ana and the Queen of Snow". Is the price reasonable? It seems that it is order-made for 450,000 yen (tax included). (Released until March 31, 2015)
 

Ana Snow 4.JPG


 The platinum tree is 2.6 meters high and is an octagonal cone using 31 kg of pure platinum, depicting the highlights of the movie on each side.
The tree top is covered by Anna and Elsa crowns, platinum is also used for the snow crystals, and an indigo-colored platinum foil art frame is installed in the background.

 The octagonal cone with the illustration is rotated, so you can immerse yourself in the silver world of the beautiful "Ana and the Snow Queen" woven by platinum.

 

 The silver tree is almost the same shape and is about 28 cm tall. This is in a glass case with a height of 46 cm.
Each side of the octagonal cone also shows each famous scene of the movie, but it seems that this printing requires a great deal of technology.

In addition, pendants and earrings designed with snow crystals, platinum art amounts, platinum foil hand mirrors, and pure platinum calendars are also on sale.

■In the scenery of the city, I was worried about the unevenness of the height with the surrounding buildings. In addition, for disaster prevention, in buildings with large glass surfaces, I was worried about the danger of falling glass fragments when there was an earthquake more than expected.

I hoped that close exchange of opinions between businesses and the government, such as unified cityscapes and urban disaster prevention, would be continued. .

[Showa Doritanken Record] #01: Creative Japanese Restaurant (Ginza 1-chome) that feels the spirit of hospitality

[Dye] Nov. 22, 2014 09:00

Speaking of Nihonbashi and Ginza, many people think of Chuo-dori, but there are many wonderful hidden spots in Showa-dori, which runs parallel to the east of Chuo-dori, and its vicinity.

At this time, I often walk around Showa-dori, and I am fascinated by that charm. So, I made it into a series without permission (^^;)

 

The first one is Hotomeki, a creative Japanese restaurant that feels the spirit of hospitality.

The taste and beauty of the dish (* ^^ *), and the cost of the dish was surprised at the w (poo) w

The atmosphere of the shop and clerks is warm and fashionable, and it is really comfortable.

s09_01.jpg s09_02.jpg

It is located along Showa-dori between Takaracho Station and Higashi-Ginza Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, next to Ginza Ichi Post Office.

The Gin Toichi Pedestrian Bridge is also a landmark. It is about a 4-minute walk from Ginza 1-chome Station on the Yurakucho Line.

 

I visited several times at lunch, but I'm worried about what to eat deliciously. (If the stomach is bigger. 。 。)

Lunch boxes were also sold at noon and were crowded with many customers.

It is full of attractive menus at night, and it seems that it is often reserved.

s09_03.jpg s09_04.jpg

A juicy cod's Saikyo-yaki and a scallop cream croquette. Hamburger with a refreshing taste

 

Among them, the best choice is "Ginza Seafood Don"

The amount of rice is enough, but no matter how you eat it, there are more things on board.

Moreover, it was fatty, and when I ate it for the first time, the cheek fell! I thought it (^^;)

It seems that fresh seafood is purchased from Tsukiji, which has been cultivated for over 30 years, and unique routes from various places.

s09_05.jpg

Tamagoyaki is from Tsukiji "Marutake", which is also known at Terry Ito's parents' home.

Sushi vinegar is "Shobun vinegar" from Okawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which has a history of 300 years.

I've been to eat in a line for a long time in Tsukiji grounds, but Hotomeki's seafood bowl is more delicious! I personally think.

 

In addition, seafood bowls can be served with a meal or dessert of tuna, but the quality of this dessert is very high.

I have no eyes on the topic of sweets, but this dessert has exquisite sweetness and sourness and may be the number one in me.

Moreover, it looks so beautiful, so I looked at it for a while.

s09_06.jpg s09_07.jpg

The left is an apple dessert. The candy work is beautiful. On the right is another day, pumpkin pudding and persimmon compote.

The persimmon was so delicious (≧ ▽ ≤) bubbles made of lemon juice are refreshing.

It is said that a chef from a French restaurant with stars thinks and makes it. It seems that the content changes every 10 days.

 

At lunchtime, the above seafood bowl + dessert is ¥1,090, so it's a surprise price.

 

The friendly owner was raised in Chuo-ku, and his parents had been a lunch box here for more than 30 years, but it was opened two years ago as the current "Hotomeki".

The store name "Hotomeki" is a dialect of the Chikugo region centered on Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which means "hospitality", so it is a shop where you can actually feel wonderful hospitality.

 

As expected, Ginza! But it's a secret!

It's been a long time since I wrote it with excitement, but I would like everyone to go to check it out.

 

☆Tuesday, November 25 11:45-It seems that it will be featured on the broadcast "Lunch Trip" (TV Tokyo).☆

Alken Tore ★Italian in Ginza

[Mapo ★] Nov. 20, 2014 14:00

I went to Italian Restaurant Week again this year!

It is located on the top floor of the Nitta Building, adjacent to Ginza Corridor Street.

 

Wellness Italian, which uses plenty of vegetables, seems to be the concept.

At lunch time, an antipast buffet is 1080 yen!

The shop also felt very good, and on the way back, my companion also got a card with a free drink.

 

This time it is a special menu of Italian Restaurant Week.

One bottle of mineral water is included in the campaign.

 

Both appetizers and pasta were delicious, so you can expect a buffet.★

The inside of the store was full of girls (*^^*)
