Hanazono Hane Sky Tree is flowering

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 29, 2015 14:00

"Hanazono Hane Soraki" is read as "Hanazono abelia spathulata". It's the Japanese name of Aberia.

It is a plant belonging to the genus Asteraceae.

Aberia and Hanazono abelia spathulata have not penetrated so much that they know, but they are planted along parks and roads, so they are familiar flowers and trees that you know if you look at them.

This aberia is currently blooming at the planting space opposite Ginza Blossom under Miyoshi Bridge (red circle on the map).

Aberia continues to bloom except when the flowering season is long and the growth of branches in midsummer and midwinter stops.

It is also an honor student of a horticultural variety that is semi-evergreen but resistant to cold.

"Tsukubane" is a feather with a feather, but it is said that the five sepals spread like a propeller look like a feather with a feather.

On the other hand, it is said that playing with wings began when playing with the fruit of "Tsukubane" by hand.

The rainy season continues, but even when the rainy season is over and the hot summer comes, Hanazono abelia spathulata continues to bloom.

 

 

Closed at the end of June! Maxim de Paris Ginza

[Mapo ★] June 29, 2015 09:00

 

Maxim Dopari Ginza opened in 1966, recreating "Maximus" in Paris.

After moving to Tokyo, I wanted to go there at least once.
It was in 2010 that I visited on the birthday plan.
While being enchanted by the dining room in Art Nouveau
It was a blissful time to taste delicious food and wine.

Last year, we went to the lounge on the upper floor for lunch.
I'm really sorry because I didn't think it would go away.

It was around mid-May that I learned that the store was closed.
I tried to make a reservation right away, but there were fewer days when I was vacant.

 
Maxim's menu is traditional French cuisine.
Because it was lunch, it wasn't so heavy.
Recently, French cuisine that comes into Japan is also available.
Perhaps because of the influence of Japanese cuisine, it has changed to something lighter.

Also, in Ginza, the number of up-and-coming chef French restaurants is increasing steadily.
Meanwhile, Maxim seems to be a bit unsuitable for the times.
Maybe it's gone.

 

There are 4 types of lunch. I made it a concord of 6,000 yen (excluding SA and tax).

Amuses are made of fish mousse with untan.
The appetizer is a courie of parotine serpno, a horohoro chicken wrapped in foie grass.

Today's soup is Visisoirs.
The main dish was Piare Barsamico sauce of Suzuki.

I ate Suzuki at Maxim in Paris two years ago.
Japanese Suzuki was smaller and the taste was delicate (^^;

 

The lower left was mostly chosen by most people.
Blzeal veil sauce with a flat tongue.

Avandesale is orange mousse. It was very nice.

And dessert is also nicknamed "Napoleon Pie".
A cake representing the popular Maxim Dopari Ginza♪

As it is the date of birth, a class person is contacting the store.
Appeared in such a wonderful decoration!

It was a very good memory.

30 days will end with a 47-year history.

 

Napoleon pie is Ginza Sony Building until the 30th.
Daimaru Tokyo store, Haneda Airport Terminal 2 store,
It seems that you can buy it at Tobu Ikebukuro and Ecute Omiya.

Strip spot [Ginza Mitsukoshi]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 28, 2015 14:00

On the Ginza Terrace on the 9th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi, "GINZA TANABATA strip spot-placing important people's thoughts on strips-" will be set up from the 24th, and anyone can freely write their wishes on strips and tie them to bamboo decorations I can do it.

You can pray for the linked strips in grand shrine, Tokyo.

The period is until July 7 (Tuesday).

Even in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, bamboo decorations are installed on each floor of the main building and new building, and it seems that you can decorate strips with wishes.

This prayer is Kanda Myojin.

 

 

Farm on the 11th floor [Ginza Itoya]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 27, 2015 09:00

G.Itoya, a new main store in Itoya, Ginza 2-chome, which was reopened in June.

farm10.JPG

The 11th floor of the 12-story building was "FARM (Farm)" and I wondered what it was, and when I went up by elevator, vegetables were exactly grown.

farm20.JPG

Safe vegetables are grown indoors by hydroponic cultivation that does not use soil.

You can see the growth of vegetables from the window using the window frame of Itoya's former stainless steel building.

The fresh vegetables harvested every day here are served at the restaurant on the 12th floor.

Indeed, local consumption products tasted in Ginza

 

 

The 1961 movie "Sexy Zone"

[CAM] June 23, 2015 18:00

  

   This work was made three years before the Tokyo Olympics in 1961. Because of this title in Shin Toho's production, we rented B-class (or C-class) works that are only worth seeing the sight around Ginza, but when you look at them, surprisingly semi-A-class works. I felt like I had gained a little.

  

 Teruo Ishii is the director who shot the Abashiri Outer Series in Toei. "I continued to run in the opposite direction to filmmakers with high degree of perfection, and rather built an unexplored position as a reverse master who was completely unrelated to film awards." This work is too convenient to develop the story, but the back music is good and it is a stylish work.

  

 The reason why real scenery such as Ginza and Shimbashi appears quite a lot is that Shin Toho is lacking funds and is guerrilla-like (hidden shooting?) It seems to be the "result" of having to do street photography, but thanks to that, the sight of Tokyo before the Olympic Games major remodeling is abundantly captured in the shaded monochrome screen.

 

 Beginning with a shot showing the clock tower of the Hattori Clock Store, the time on the way is also represented by this clock tower. In addition, a bird's-eye view of Miyoshi Bridge, a scene where two people ride a boat on the Tsukiji River. The boat platform is like the Mannenbashi Bridge, where you can see East drama, Shochiku Kaikan, and Shimbashi Enbujo. Near the last, you can see the whole line seat of a cinema shaped like an old Western castle in river’s edge on the Shiodome River.

   

    Looking at the sign of the bar on the screen, it says "40 yen straight, 50 yen highball" etc.

  

 Unlike the image of "the top star on the sexy route of Shin Toho", Yoko Mihara is quite charming and has a good feeling (however, regardless of the title, there is no sexy scene in this work). Arakan described it as "a child who is kind and kind to the opposite of his role," and he agrees. Also, Junko Ikeuchi when I was young is beautiful.

 

 

 

Vegetable buffet that can be eaten for 1080 yen ★Vesisalkentore

[Mapo ★] June 23, 2015 14:00

I went to Italy Restaurant Week before
I'm worried about Vesis Alkentore's vegetable buffet.
I went there a few months later.

 

It's only on weekdays, but the Antipast buffet is 1080 yen!
There were about 12 kinds of soup curry, which was especially delicious.★
I eat it with five grain rice or a small bale-shaped rice ball.
It's healthy and light.

If the buffet alone is not enough, choose the main with a la carte.
There is a buffet on the main side.
In fact, I feel like I can eat the main for about 400 yen.

In Ginza, there is not much such a reasonable lunch.

 

KIMG0232.JPG KIMG0235b.JPG

 

On this day, we made a vezis-style hamburger, potatoes, mushrooms and cheese (1480 yen).

And just show me the point card I got when I went last time.
A companion can also serve a drink after meals (*^^ *)

 

"Wellness Italian with plenty of vegetables"
Because it is a shop with the concept, you can eat plenty of vegetables.

It seems that a cooking class is also being held.
I'd like to go there once.
