(8) In the Wako window, "owl's Eyes"!

G48.jpg G46.jpg

■(From HP) “Crystal”: The glittering Christmas Ginza looks like a kaleidoscope.

Therefore, the winter window is based on the theme of the parallel world in the kaleidoscope, expressing the winter forest of crystals.

The city becomes a forest, people become owl, shadows become color, and night darkness glows white.

When you look into an object inspired by owl's eyes, each of them has a story.

 

(9) In the temporary enclosure at the corner of the Ginza 4-chome intersection, there is an art work of "Rumbini Art Museum"! ! (Until January 18, next year)
G45.jpg G36.jpg

■(The text below is from the website of "Rumbini Art Museum" (〒025-0065 1-21-29 Hoshigaoka, Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture))

 

The Rumbini Art Museum is a space for art and relaxation operated by the social welfare corporation Korinkai.

 

The center of the works exhibited at the Rumbini Museum is the art works of people with disabilities.

In those works, the author has permeated what he seeks, infinitely.

There is a free fluttering. Occasionally, its powerful wings are free to the hearts of the viewer.

It leads to the world.

 

In addition, the work of the authors with disabilities is as deep as possible, which is the source of life of expression.

Yes, there is. There are various forms of expression in contemporary art. But its superficial shape

No matter how different it is, the source of expression is in the same place. With disability

The authors reveal the life of all sources of expression by their deep roots.
 

Our mind distinguishes a lot of things. People with disabilities and healthy people. Adults and children. With a man

Female Country, race, people and animals and plants...。 This world is made up of countless borders.

Yes.
If all the borders are completely erased, and they see them as just one.

If I could do it. If you could do that, what would you see there?
 
Maybe it's just the brilliance of life that you see there
 
It's fun and deep. If you could get a glimpse of such a brilliance at the Rumbini Museum, you will not be so happy.

Miyake family ★Tama-no-tamameshi (baked bean paste)

[Mapo ★] December 19, 2014 09:00

This is also the shop that was listed on the lunch passport book.

 

The Miyake family is located on the second floor of the Ginza AZA Building on the back street of Ginza Matsuya.
I went to eat "Tama no Ontamameshi" here.

 

KIMG0439.JPG KIMG0441.JPG

 
I didn't think about anything, but to the staff
"It's rare today! It's always sold out quickly."

 
Later, when I looked at the book, it was limited to 10 meals a day! ! Lucky (* ^^*)
It seems to be a shop produced by Tomoko Miyake, the original queen of eating.
The rice was a bit like a millet, and it was healthy♪
Anako is also savory and delicious★
It also comes with salad and miso soup.

 
By the way, the shop was smokeable and it was a bit disappointing.
The shop itself is a very homey space where you can relax!

Hawaiian restaurant at KIRARITO GINZA

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 17, 2014 09:00

The Hawaiian restaurant Eggs'n Things is located on the 4th floor of the brand-new commercial building KIRARITO GINZA facing Ginza 1-chome and Chuo-dori.

eggsn1.JPG

Based on the concept of "All Day Breakfast", it seems popular because you can enjoy the breakfast menu all day long, so I went there.

eggsn2.JPG

On the way home from the company, the shop was still vacant, and a friend who had given up waiting for 2 hours at Shonan Enoshima store was impressed by the fact that he was able to sit immediately (however, At around 8 o'clock when we left the store, it was full, and another 4,5 pairs were waiting.)

The interior of the store has a calm atmosphere, especially the sofa seats are spacious.

I ordered garlic shrimp, potato bacon cheese omelet, holiday silver duster pancake (upper photo), fruit pancake sampler (lower photo)

eggsn4.JPG

The pancake has a 15cm-high whipped cream.

Contrary to the appearance, whipped cream is refreshing, light and not staggered. The pancake itself is not too sweet and has a good balance with fruits. White wine also goes well.

eggsn3.JPG

I went for pancakes, but both garlic shrimp and omelet were delicious.

After 17 o'clock, there is also a loco food and dinner menu, and alcohol is available from various cocktails to tropical wine, so I think it can be used widely.

The Ginza store, the third store in Tokyo, has terrace seats overlooking Chuo-dori, so if the season improves, the time on the terrace seats will be the best (although I think it will be crowded).

 

 

"Raijin Fudo Kitayama Sakura"-December Kabukiza Theater

1. December 16, 2014 09:00

100_1526.JPG

100_1527.JPG

In December, the National, Nanza, and this Kabukiza show this year. Perhaps because I watched it continuously in a short period of time, "I can't turn my neck" (may be due to poor pocket money ...) It is difficult to see the flower path. Shrimp with outstanding ability to attract customers, is still full today. This is the first time in Tokyo since the first performance at the theater in 2008. The taste changes a little, and a "mouth doll" like "Kanaemoto Chushingura" appears and makes me laugh. Kabuki's 18th "Start" and "Introduction" are centered on "drawn", "Narujin", and "Fudo", so you can understand the line well. The surrounding area of Suzakumon in "Ozume" is a great sight. Ebizo plays the five roles of "Kumeji Dansei", "Narujin Kamijin", "Saimo Oji", "Kiyoyuki Abe" and "Acalanatha", Ainosuke Bunya Toyohide is "Kunno Chizumahime" is Tamasaburo. It's a worrisome time of the New Year, but how about forgetting the busyness for a while and spending a moment at Kabukiza?

In the daytime section, "Yoshiken last term", "Genshin Musashi", "Twoman Oku" Senraku is 26th.

For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570 - 999-489 (10:00 to 18:00).
