  It's my first time to see such a scene, so when I read the explanation, I read it

"What is VINYL MUSEUM that appears in Ginza Mitsukoshi? ・・(Omitted)

This time, the Flower Festival and VINYL MUSEUM collaborate, and a photogenic spot inspired by Mimoza will appear. Yes, it is.

We headed to the Ginza Terrace on the 9th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi, the venue, and saw the stage on display.

A couple like a lover is taking pictures.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] February 26, 2019 12:00

It is still February, but warm days continue, and early blooming kawazu-zakura (Kawazu Sakura) can be heard from everywhere.

kawazu-zakura is also blooming at Sendai Bridge Park, located at the foot of Sendai Bridge.

kawadu201903.JPG

This is the kawazu-zakura of Sendai Bridge, which was introduced at night cherry blossoms last March.

kawadu201904.JPG

kawazu-zakura's name comes from being discovered around 1955 in the Kawazu region of Minamiizu.

kawadu201905.JPG

kawazu-zakura is estimated to be a natural hybrid of oshima cherry (Oshima Sakura) and Kanhizakura (Kanhizakura).

kawadu201906.JPG

The flowers are pink or light red, with a darker pink color than Yoshino cherry tree, and a longer flowering period of one month.

In the small Sendai Bridge Park, there are also Yoko (sunlight), late blooming Fugenzo (fugen elephant), and weeping cherry tree (weeping cherry), where you can enjoy various cherry blossoms for a long time in the same park.

Ginza Manet Ken's monthly waffle

[Mapo ★] February 25, 2019 18:00

Manet Ken's waffle, which is always in line
I often saw it when I was living in Osaka.
Actually, I wonder if it's so delicious that it's lined up.
I've never eaten it (laughs).

 
Looking at it, the head office is Osaka and the first store is Umeda.
It seems that there are currently 11 stores in Osaka.
When I saw the line in Ginza, "Eh? Do you line up with Manet Ken?"
I think it was like that.

 
Go to Belgium two years ago and eat waffles
Knowing the origin of the word Manet Ken
(Manet Ken Piss means a piss.)
At Manet Ken in Ginza, where there is always a line from there
Suddenly I thought I would buy a waffle.
It was November last year.

 
Seasonal waffles come out every month, and in November it is caramel apple.
And I bought plain and chocolate.
It's delicious and surprised when you eat it (laughs).

They were lined up in the chocolate marble in December.

For the time being, let's eat a whole 12-month change.♪

 
In addition to Ginza, there are Akihabara, Yaesu and Ikebukuro.
There aren't so many stores, so it's convinced that you can line up in Ginza.

[Silver] February 24, 2019 18:00

 At the Hasegawa Ginza Main Store, famous for its Buddhist altar Hasegawa commercial, facing Ginza Street, Hina doll seemed smiling at me. The Buddha was not waving his hand, so I entered the store.

 Mr. Amida's guidance or a kind woman responded and explained.

The one I tried was a bell. When the bell rings, the lingering sound remains with Lean and a clear sound. It's the subject of the next purchase.

 In relation to Buddhist utensils, there were incense and smell bags. In the Buddhist world, it is said that Buddhas do not eat rice or fruits, but eat the scent as a meal. And it seems that this is called incense food.

 Life wrapped in a faint scent makes you feel calm.

And recently, there is a custom of giving gorgeous incense stick or candles as gifts. 

This is a Japanese sweets-style candle gift set.
