Tsukiji Honganji Summer Evening "Goen Festa" is also available on July 7th

[Ginzo] 09:00 on July 7, 2016

 July 7 is Tanabata, but it seems that it was traditionally held in the lunar calendar, so could we not meet the weaving woman (Vega) and the token beef (Althail) unless it was August? Well, the common theory is that you can only meet once a year. Because we humans on earth can easily meet, romance may be thin. If not, write a wish on a strip, hang it on a bamboo leaf, and pray that your request will come true. Well,

While thinking a little about such things, I went to Tsukiji Honganji's summer evening "Geen Festa".

There was a cow. Go up the stone steps to main hall to the left.

 This is the world's animal design collected by Dr. Chuta Ito, who was involved in the construction of Tsukiji Honganji. There are 14 objects, including fictional animals, and this print is available in main hall.

 

By the way, today, a lot of nonwoven ladies and cute children participated in the "Goen Festa" to enjoy Bon Odori and taste the delicious things of Tsukiji.

 

And Bon Dance was performed with the sound of a fun drum.

 A chat while tasting the delicious things of Tsukiji. It was a fun time to go over. The international exchange progressed with tourists from Canada sitting at the same table, asking questions about the purpose of visiting Japan, the duration of their stay, and the schedule of the upcoming Bon Dance Festival. It was time to say goodbye, and we were asked for a commemorative photo, and we also included it in the photo.

 The fun "Goen Festa" will also be held on July 7th.

 

 

 

Ginza / Summer bargain

[The Minnie Cricket] 14:00 on July 6, 2016

The summer bargain season has arrived.

This is a seasonal feature that can be tasted in the city

barge01.JPG

There are various expressions such as "sale", "bargen", "bargen sale", "SOLDES", etc., but it is established as an annual event as a mechanism to attract customers to the store during hot weather.

Plantin Ginza is affiliated with the world-famous Paris department store "Plantin", or has the word "SOLDES" (French sale) on the back of "LAST Summer The Bergen"

The meaning of the word "LAST" in the head may be due to the termination of the trade name and trademark agreement with Plantin Ginza on December 31, this year, and the name of the store will be changed from January next year.

By the way, in France, it seems that the time of sale is determined by law, and summer sale is from late June to late July every year.

It's just about the departure time of Vacance, so many people buy clothes for Vacance at sale.

As for Mitsukoshi, it seems that it will start on July 13th (Wednesday) with the name of "Summer Clearance Sale".

If you look at these signs in the city, you can feel that the hot (hot) season has come again.

[Ginzo] 18:00 on July 4, 2016

This time, I will be accompanied by a junior high school student sketch party,

I received it by Hanada Art, who visited at the Gallery Night Party in May.

Yoshitaka Kuroiwa Painter's Japanese Painting Exhibition-Dearing for the Landscape-When I talked about it, I was glad to agree with it and received a wonderful collection of paintings.

I feel that the works, such as "Summer Day Good Wind" and "Kisuge Morning", will carry a refreshing Oze wind.  On July 2nd, I saw you today.

 I want the children to see good works, and I want them to polish their sensibilities. Thank you very much for Hanada Art.

Please see here for the "Gallery Night Party" in May.

A total of 11 stations on the Tokyo Metro are decorated with bamboo decorations of Tanabata.

In Chuo-ku, there are three stations: Nihombashi Station, Ginza Station, and Hatchobori Station.

Each station is equipped with strips and pens.

Birthday dinner at Loogier in Ginza

[Map★] 09:00 on July 4, 2016

For this year's birthday, go to "Loogier" in Ginza, which I have always longed for.

 

losier8.JPGlosier6.JPGlosier3.JPGlosier4.JPGlosier5.JPGlosier2.JPG

 

At the restaurant, photography is strictly prohibited.
I gave the staff a camera and had them take everything.
You're very good!

 

This time, I was able to enjoy the meal without worrying about the photos.

 

All the dishes are artistic and beautiful.♪
Chef Olivier Shenyon came around,
I'd like to speak French.
I'm very good in Japanese, so I don't speak much (laughs)
He seems to be from Loire.

 

Another great thing about Loogier’s service is:
You can drink a lot of wine in a glass.

 

If the master doesn't drink much, he'll give it 1/4 of the glass.
I also had 1/2 and I drank 8 kinds of dishes according to the dishes.
It was great to enjoy various mariages of cooking and wine★

And even though the staff's service is well-maintained,
It was a good idea that everyone was very friendly and not stiff.

 

It seems that the birthday cake was also made from a sponge,

It was so delicious to eat the next day!

There were so many types of cheese, and I enjoyed wine with cheese alone.★

I was able to have a very good birthday.

 

By the way, Prime Minister Abe's mother is close to me and my birthday
It was written somewhere that this year I had a birthday in Roogier.
