Chocolate specialty store in Ginza ★Decadance du Chocolat

[Mapo ★] April 29, 2015 09:00

There was such a chocolate specialty store in Ginza 1-chome.
It seems to have been made in February of last year, but I didn't notice it.
Decadance du Chocolat
It seems that there has been a shop in Shibuya for 10 years.

It was the time of Easter, so there were a lot of egg-shaped chocolates.
The chocolate of this Nana crayon was cute.
I bought 4 bottles alone, but it's creamy and very delicious.♪
But I'm glad that it's not refrigerated.

The contents are milk chocolate and white chocolate.
Coffee, pistachio, caramel and passion from the left.

 

The macaron was also a little large and delicious.
This is refrigerated, so next time. 。 。

 

And what surprised me is the coffee service for those who bought chocolate.
There is also a milk pot, so you can put it in plenty and put it into ole.★

There are chansons flowing in the store, so you can feel like Paris.♪

"Miffy Exhibition" commemorating the 60th anniversary of birth-Matsuya Ginza

1. April 28, 2015 14:00

100_1643.JPGThis exhibition began on April 15th. About a week ago, Matsuya's wall turned into Miffy's face, and there are many people who point their cameras from across Ginza Street!

It was a start of a full-fledged topic making, and it was very busy every day. I went out on the first Sunday and went back to shop only three days later because of the so popular goods section.

100_1645.JPGI think there are many people who remember the Japanese translation "Usako-chan" series. The venue was full of people who were children in the past. My face is gradually changing from the first work, Miffy, the second work, and the third work. Miffy, 180cm tall, designed by Japanese creators, also appeared.

There is a "breakfast memo" drawn by Bruna for his wife every morning, and I am convinced that Miffy was born from this happy family with a cute touch of today's day schedule. There was a "Miffy's Clear File" in the hard and reputable teacher's room at a certain national museum where I was bothering me at work, and I remembered the teacher's shy expression that I thought "I was seen".

Until May 10th (Sun). Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square 10:00 to 20:00 Closed at 17:00 on the last day

General 1,000 yen, high school university students 700 yen, junior high school students 500 yen, elementary school students 300 yen

 

 

Take the Tokiwa Bridge Gomon from Shibakuchi Gomon.

[Chuo Kotaro] April 27, 2015 09:00

Hello, I'm Chuo Kotaro who likes to walk around. I became a correspondent from this April.

Today, from Shimbashi, around Kaedegawa and Nihonbashi Rivers, I checked the geography by hanging around the places I was interested in when I was studying the Chuo-ku Tourism Test.

First of all, the site of Shibakuchi Gomon. From the Minato-ku side, enter Sotobori-dori St. into Chuo-ku, go southeast along the Metropolitan Expressway, and go a little over Chuo-dori to the left. A stone monument is installed along with a wooden signboard, and the picture of the copper plate embedded in the stone monument shows the fineness of the gate at that time. I imagine that it was a fine gate suitable for the entrance to Edo Castle, which was set up on the old Tokaido from the Shinagawa area and crossed the former Shiodome River.

Next is the main pillar of the Shipping Bridge. There is a Oita distance from the site of Shibakuchi Gomon, and the place suddenly flew, but I was worried because it was difficult to imagine the place at the time of the sightseeing test and it was difficult to remember it. From Shibakuchi Gomon, go northeast along Mihara-dori between Chuo-dori and Showa-dori, and from around Kyobashi, go northeast along Antique Street as well.

Cross Eitai-dori St., thinking that you want to eat someday while watching the procession of eel box rice Tamai, and turn right after Taimeiken. After passing Showa-dori, we found a main pillar around the capital height of the former maple river, which was now reclaimed, and successfully eliminated the sprout during the sightseeing test.

After this, I discovered the Kabuto-cho History Map near the birthplace of the bank (Mizuho Bank), and found a map of the confluence of the Kaede River and Nihonbashi River, and imagined that time.

Today, I also wandered along the Nihonbashi side from Reigishi Bridge over the Kamejima River to the site of Tokiwa Bridge Gomon.

Unfortunately, the site of the Tokiwa Bridge gate was under construction (which seems to have been damaged in Great East Japan Earthquake) and was rarely seen. About this time today.

 

 

Lunch in Ginza ★La Manière

[Mapo ★] April 25, 2015 14:00

A French shop located in the basement of a building called Optica in Ginza 3-chome.

It seems that the restaurant week was full soon.

 

This time, we went to lunch with 6 girls on the OZ Mall plan.

The course is 4,180 yen for 4 items (sa, tax included)

I'm fascinated by the table setting when I first sat.

It's nodding that it's popular with girls.

I intended to book a plan with a drink, but it seems to have ended in March, so six people opened the champagne.

Before that, the shop provided a beautiful rose sparkling called Sakura.

 

 

In the first amusement, there was a frit of bamboo shoots, and did the appetizers do scallops and cherry salmon?

The green sauce seems to be spring.

The bread was also delicious, and the butter was cube-shaped and there were several kinds.

And the main one is Hokkaido Sika Deer. There was no habit and it was soft and delicious.

I think the match was potato.

The dessert is chocolate with a crunchy texture. The small sweets were also very fashionable.

This time it was a shop I would definitely like to visit at night.

Ginza Flower Walk "Ichibago" on Miyuki Street, "Seiyotochinoki" on Marronnier Street.

[Silver] April 24, 2015 14:00

  One of the flowers in Ginza that I look forward to every year is a neat white flower that blooms on a tree called "Ichibago", commonly known as "Nanja Monja".
This year it bloomed about a week earlier than usual. If you look at this, you will feel really refreshed.

The flowers near Matsuzakaya, which is under construction on Miyuki Street, near the izakaya and Sennen Kyu, are in full bloom.

Is the best time to see it until April twenty-ninth? Don't miss it! 

  

  By the way, one more thing that informs you of the arrival of early summer is "Seiyotochinoki", which is called Marronnier in French.
Enjoy a flower walk between Marronnier Gate and Plantan Ginza to Showa-dori.

20150423 047.JPG
This is mostly buds, and the early ones are beginning to bloom.
Is the best time to see this is from April 28 to May 5?
 
Please enjoy the flowers of Ginza along with shopping and meals.

 

 

dogwood on the streets of Ginza

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] April 21, 2015 18:00

dogwood, which blooms like a replacement with Sakura, is now in its flowering season on the streets of Ginza.

This is dogwood on Marronnier Street.

hnmz1.JPG

Dogwood is a deciduous Takagi of the genus Japanese dogwood subgenus, and is also known as American yamaboshi.

This is the dogwood on Kibikicho Street beside Kabukiza.

hnmz2.JPG

The flower season of dogwood is from late April to early May, with white or pale pink flowers. However, what looks like petals is a leaf called a bract, and the center mass is the inflorescence.

This is dogwood on Matsuya Street.

hnmz3.JPG

The planting of dogwood in Japan began in 1915 when Yukio Ozaki, then mayor of Tokyo, presented Sakura (Yoshino cherry tree) to Washington D.C., United States of America.

hnmz4.JPG

Dogwood is dogwood in English, but there are various theories about the etymology of dogwood, and one theory is that the broth of bark was used in the 17th century for the treatment of dog skin diseases (also called flea extermination).

dogwood is often seen on the streets of Ginza, but dogwood is also a tree in Minato-ku.
