There is a Sukiyabashi police box facing the Sukiyabashi intersection where Sotobori-dori St. and Harumi-dori St. intersect.

The outer wall is made of bricks associated with Ginza Brick Street in Meiji period. It was difficult to decide on this police box with an impressive pointed roof and the design of the roof, and when I was stuck with a waiting needle on the model of the police box, it was adopted as the design of the police box roof as it was.

Next to this police box, there is "Hagure Sakura" and a statue of a squatting girl at the base (author: Yuzo Iwata) at the base.

Is "Hagurekko" related to the police box, or from "Hagure Sakura" standing as if only one was peeled off, did you build a statue of "Hagurekko" according to its name? I don't know if the cherry blossoms were named "Hagure Sakura" because "Hagurekko" was built at the base, so I don't know how many of the cherry blossoms were named "Hagure Sakura". It may be a product of imagination.

In this same space, beautiful plants of Christmas rose are blooming. It is strange that Christmas rose blooms during the cherry blossom season, but unlike the name, Christmas rose has many varieties that bloom in spring. Also, the petals look like sepals, the so-called flowering season is quite long.

That's why it was the Sukiyabashi intersection, spring scenery.

By the way, "Hagure Sakura" was still blooming for a minute (as of the afternoon of March 28).

 

 

It's getting warmer and the flowers have begun to bloom, and it's getting a good day for a walk.

So this time, I would like to introduce some of the best shops to stop by when you are tired of walking around the city.

 

"Wine & Grill Kyobashi Terrace" along Showa-dori Street

It is a bar where you can enjoy lunch and cafes in the daytime and wine at night, and the exterior wall covered with greenery is a landmark.

 

From the A3 exit of Takaracho Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, go straight to the expressway for a few seconds (! ? Walk right hand.

I'm a little thrilled because I can't see the other side of the door, but let's go in.◎

　 

　

The most recommended thing is the beautiful nature aquarium that spreads inside the store.

While watching tropical fish swim slowly, I forget that this is in the middle of the city for a while.

 

  

 

Inside the store. The number of fish...A lot of things I don't know (#` ・ ω ・ ')! That's right.

The bright tropical fish of blue and red are called "neontetra".

 

I go to lunch and cafe time, but I repeat it many times because the dishes are delicious and comfortable. The clerk is also kind ('@`*)

 

Lunch steak is savory and delicious, but reasonable

It seems that you can eat it in a bigger lump at night.

It was good to have tea only~

 

We also have a lot of wines, so I would like to visit dinner.

 

There seems to be a semi-private room.◎

 

During the walk, go back and forth for cherry blossom viewing, welcome and farewell party...etc

Chuo-dori is also lively, but why don't you be healed by a wonderful aquarium on Showa-dori?

On the third day of the exhibition, Mr. It was during the daytime on Weekday Day, so I went out assuming it wasn't too crowded, but it was off. It is lined up near the entrance. It's a complicated feeling that it's nice to be popular and it's too crowded.

Tasha Tuder (1915-2008), a picture book writer who enjoyed gardening in the mountains of Vermont, the United States and continued his creative activities until his death at the age of 92. What became well known in Japan

After all, it was introduced on NHK's program. After raising children, a self-sufficient simple lifestyle that handmade most of everyday life in the countryside surrounded by vast nature has a `` longing '' for modern people who tend to lose comfort in their daily lives I think it was held. Especially for middle-aged and older women who love gardening, there are many enthusiastic fans and the venue is full of such women.

The venue used tableware and furniture, gardening goods, original drawings of dresses and picture books, doll houses and dolls, etc. I found a bottle of champagne and Bobkurico about 5 cm in the cupboard of the doll house, and raised my voice unintentionally. It's just like the real thing.

"The modern people are too busy. Sit on the locking chair in the evening porch and listen to dusky thrush's clear voice while drinking chamomile Tay. Everyday life will be more fun." (Tasha's words)    "I'm longing." This time. It's one day.

 

Until April 6 Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square

From 10:00 to 20:00 (until 17:00 on the last day)

Admission fee 1,000 yen

 

 

　　

 

 "Sakura Paper Craft Art" can be seen on the show window of SHISEIDO THE GINZA (Ginza 7) and on the 1st floor stage.

This is the work of French artist Marianne Gary, and it is perfect for expressing the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms from 9,000 kinds of fine paper from 300 brands handled by Takeo, a paper specialty, NT Lasha (colored and colored paper with cotton) and a tailor (in Spanish).

I hear that Konica Minolta's flexible organic EL lighting with a thickness of 0.35mm is used as "thin and soft glowing paper" in the decoration of a female image that resembles a cherry blossom fairy.

The appearance of cherry blossoms is a little earlier, and it is directed by Hana and Saga.

 

 

 

The restaurant "My" chain, which offers high-quality dishes at a reasonable price by chefs who were active in the top restaurants, is like "My French", "My Italian", "My Kappo cuisine", and "My Yakiniku", which opened near Kabukiza, was also worried about this "My Yangtze River", but it was not easy to make reservations for the popular shops like other shops. More than half a year has passed since the opening in June last year, and I've finally come to see if it's time.

Because it's a week day, the reservation is easy, and it's Chinese, so I'd like to have many kinds today. 4 people.

When you enter the narrow stairs underground, "Oh! It's wide." That's right. It is the largest 117 seats in the "My" chain, not the "standing drinking style", which is a feature of "my" chain, but all seated style shops. (It seems that there was also standing drinking at the beginning of the opening. There is no "narrow table" where the seats we were guided are spacious and the dishes protruding. First of all, follow the instructions to order from "Today's Limited Menu", order some and finally ask for dessert "broth powder" and "I'm sorry, today's number has been sold out!" 。 "Eh!" I'm sorry. First of all, toast with "My champagne". It's just like the edge of the glass. If you pour it into 4 people, one is empty.

"Raku spring rolls", "Kogobaba", "Soft Sher Club", "Beijing Duck", "Abalone and Fokahire", "Pork fin loquat black vinegar sauce", "Vegetable salad", "Fried rice" (I feel like I received a little more . ・・・）

Shaoxing sake is also available for 5,600 yen per person (table charge is @ 300 yen). It was a satisfying lunch. In front of the Beijing Duck service, the whole baked Beijing Duck "see" between the tables and entertain customers with staff cut performance at the central table. It seems that it has become easier to make reservations, so it's recommended for those who say "I'm worried." At night, depending on the day of the week, you can listen to jazz and classical performances live.

 "Fukumitsuya Matsuya Ginza Store" on the 7th floor of Matsuya Ginza, one of the shops along the line (Yukari) that boils down to the Hokuriku Shinkansen Kanazawa extension on March 14.

The former "Salmon Shop Fukumitsuya Ginza Store" along Suzuran Street, which opened in May 1999, closed on July 31, 2011 due to seismic retrofitting work after Great East Japan Earthquake, and opened a new location in February 2013.

Fukumitsuya was founded in 1625 in sake brewery, Kanazawa. Since 1960, he has been working on contract cultivation of sake brewing rice based on the idea of "from soil making", and in 2001, switched to full pure rice production. In addition to brands such as Fukumasamune, Black Belt and Kaga Tobi, we also develop fermented foods and natural ingredients.

The shop's concept is "Fered Beauty of sake brewery," suggesting that various ingredients such as natural amino acids produced from rice fermentation work beautifully inside and outside the body.

It consists of a product sales space and a food and beverage corner "fermentation bar".

From March 18th, "Sakura BAR" with a menu related to cherry blossoms, with lacquerware of Wajima Kirimoto in line with "Ginza Fashion Week", "Sakura BAR" (Sakekasu Sakura Anmitsu, Sake Kasu Sakura In the middle of Sake Kasu Sakura, Junmai Ginjo Sakura Sake <with sake appetizer>) starts.

You can also enjoy "Sake Kasu Peach Parfait", which is made with sake lees ice cream on a seasonal sake lees roll cake and topped with white peach jelly and sauce.

For the time being, this time, `` Seasonal sake drink comparison set sake appetizer '' (Kaga Tobi Junmai daiginjo Ai Shibori raw / Kaga Tobi Junmai Ginjo Arabashiri raw / Kaga Tobiyama abandoned pure rice super spicy mouthless filter raw, appetizers are hard tofu soaked in miso for half a year.

The bar counter is located in the corner of the 7th floor and is a quiet and comfortable space.

The "Kuradashi Limited Sake Enjoying Party", a series with sake appetizers that match the sake, seems to be popular.

(The 5th will be held on March 18 and 19, and the 6th will be held on June 23 and 24.)
