[Silver] Nov. 26, 2015 20:00

 The Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association "Gathering of International Exchange 2015" was held at Tsukiji Social Education Center on November 21, 2015.

This event is held once a year to promote cultural exchange between Japanese and foreigners in Chuo-ku and deepen mutual understanding.

I also participate every year, and this is the seventh time this year.

You will receive the reception on the first floor of the venue and proceed to the venue you are looking for. Whatever you say, the first place to eat is the place to eat.

On this day, we had a treat of Korean Chizumi, Japanese oden, and Sri Lanka milk tea. It was very delicious.

Ginza hideaway Italian ★Colpodelastraga

[Mapo ★] Nov. 25, 2015 18:00

The second Italian Restaurant Week is
Corpo della Straga in Ginza 8-chome.
It's a difficult name, but it seems to be the name of the witch's blow.

 

It was a small question of whether or not to put in 20 people
It's a hideaway shop, but you can see a lot of attention to each dish.

 

The appetizer salad also contains quiche and is full.
Salami is salsicciapicante and Tuscanna's chinternase.
And the rare ham called Brezaoladiequeina of horse meat.
In addition, the dressing is a homemade purple carrot vinegret.
Refreshing acidity and delicious~ (*^^*)

 

RIMG2724.JPG RIMG2725.JPG

 
You can choose from 2 types of pasta, and because you are not good at shellfish, you can use carbonara.
The fall truffle is scattered.
It's a non-sticky carbonara, which is also delicious.★

 

Meat dishes are half-sized with beef fins and foiegras.
Fish dishes are Shimanami-produced poire
For the main, I ordered a separate one for two and rubbed it half.
In particular, this mackerel is fluffy and white wine swells.
I forgot to take a picture of Japanese Spanish mackerel~ (>_<)

 

RIMG2727.JPG RIMG2729.JPG

 

Dolce is homemade tiramisu.
It was creamy and delicious (*^^*)
Drinks are +100 yen, cappuccino is +200 yen.

 

RIMG2730.JPG RIMG2723.JPG

 

But I can eat such a course for 2500 yen.
Mr. Italian Restaurant Week.♪

I'd like to go at night and eat a variety of dishes in Alacarte.

 

Ginza still has many hidden famous stores and is deep (* ^^*)

There is also a reasonable pasta lunch that is not a course, so it is also recommended for OLs.★

[Silver] Nov. 24, 2015 20:00

 In Part 1, I reported on delicious chizumi, oden, fragrant Sri Lankan milk tea and other entertainment.

At the venue, there was also a disaster prevention corner, a disaster prevention video was broadcast, and we also experienced emergency food tasting.

DSC08965 (350x197). jpg 

 I received an emergency food and an emergency set present. What would you like to prepare for it?

DSC08966 (350x197). jpg

 Volunteers from the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association explained their activities.

I hope that many foreign people will become friends and understand each other's culture and lifestyle.

DSC08968 (350x197). jpg

 By the way, the foreign dance of this day was flamenco, so I rushed from the outside.

The performers were Tomoko Ishii Flamenco Studios. The boy is also cool and decides on poses.

DSC08895 (350x197). jpg

 During the wonderful dance performance, I also had Spanish lessons, and international students from Mexico seemed very happy to answer them.

After having a simple instruction of flamenco and turning around with dance, Ohre! I felt that my back stretched and my posture improved.

Tomoko Ishii also joined, and it is a splendid and exciting flamenco dance.

DSC08964 (350x197). jpg

I received a leaflet for enrollment guidance. I'm thinking of entering the "Introductory Class".

If you want to experience flamenco or want to get started, we recommend Tomoko Ishii studio in Ginza 1-chome near you.

 It is a gathering of international exchange that I look forward to every year. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff.

It was very fun this year too. In Spanish, Muchas gracias!

Ginza souvenir walk The scenery mark of the post office in Ginza

[Silver] Nov. 20, 2015 09:00

I got a MAP of "Ginza (small) souvenir walk".

I heard that this MAP was created as a collaboration (Itoya-sama, Yamazakura, Post Office) during Autumn Ginza 2015. 

 

After having fun shopping at a long-established store in Ginza, heavy bulky luggage is hard. 

  

In such a case, if you send it at the Ginza Namiki-dori Post Office, Ginza 4 Post Office, or Ginza-dori Post Office, you can send it by pushing the landscape staff at the post office window until 17:00 on weekdays. You can enjoy different designs for each station.

  

It has been confirmed that the landscape seal can be stamped at the post office window. Isn't it nice to put what you bought in Ginza in a box with the postmark of the post office in Ginza and send a present?

Ginza Namiki-dori Post Office is a Ginza-like landscape sign with the scenery of Namiki-dori.

The Ginza 4 Post Office is a landscape mark depicting the symbols of Hatoido, Wako, Ginza Line, and 4-chome.

The scenery mark of the Ginza-dori Post Office is reminiscent of willows, gas lanterns, and good old Ginza-dori.

    

First of all, "Ginza small souvenir walks Why don't you enjoy shopping and send them from these post offices?

 Here's the landscape mark I got.

The left is the scenery mark of Ginza-dori Post Office. It is a scenery where swallows dance on Ginza Street. The design with the willow in Ginza and the monument of the birthplace of Ginza is excellent. Right:

It is the postmark of Tokyo Ginza San of "Ginza Tori Post Office", which designed Benkei Musashibo in the Kanjin Book and the cityscape of Ginza. I think your sincerity and the elegance of Ginza will be conveyed to the gift.
