This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.
　

Today, February 15, 2019.

A new type of hotel with rental housing

"HAMACHO HOTEL" has opened!

The state of the building is being built as an edamame of neighboring residents.

I was looking forward to seeing you every day.

What is the interest of local residents?

"What kind of good shop can I have?"

That's right. There will definitely be a delicious restaurant in the hotel.

In many cases, high-quality confectioneries are also included.

I'm looking forward to it.
　

So, first of all, today is the first day of the opening.

It was newly opened in the hotel.

I visited "nel CRAFT CHOCOLATE TOKYO".

The entrance facing the road has sides and stairs that do not face the main street.

Considering easy-to-understand and barrier-free routes

It might be better to enter from the front entrance of the hotel facing Kiyosubashi-dori.

Enter the hotel entrance and proceed to the back of your right and you will be able to arrive at the store properly.

　

Well, in the shop right away.

There are various kinds of tablet chocolates right next to the entrance.

It was displayed with cacao.

"Ghana", "Venezuela", "Bunchapbetonam", etc.

There are a lot of chocolates with the name of the cacao production area.

The percentage of cacao seems to be different, and it seems fun to compare eating.
　

The chocolate bonbon was also displayed here.

Is it easier to understand the shape of the picture in the pamphlet?

It was made of cacao made by contract farmers in Vietnam

In addition to "Bunchapbentonam"

It is only made from special ingredients such as "Tamba Black Bean Kinako" and "Yuzu".

　
It is said that the name of the shop "nel" comes from "kneading".

"Delivering chocolate kneaded with carefully selected materials and craftsmanship with true heart."

You're making it with that feeling.

Chef Chocolatier goes to the production area by himself

It contains carefully selected cacao beans and ingredients selected from producers.

Chocolate completed with high technology, incorporating ingredients unique to Japan.

All of them make you feel the high quality.
　

In addition, "late citrus peel" using Amakusa late citrus from Kumamoto and

"Chocola Show (Chocolate Drink)" etc.

All of them are attractive, and they're in trouble with their eyes.

This is what I bought today.

"Nihonbashi hamachoco" (1080 yen including tax).

It's in your mouth! ！

It was a creamy and delicious chocolate with a smooth mouthfeel.

Is there a little liqueur in it? That's what you say

I felt soft later.

(So, this is not a snack of my daughter Azuki (3 years old)

　It will be a snack at midnight for mother Edamame.)

　
There are special items that can only be obtained here.

It seems that you will be pleased when you want to make souvenirs somewhere in the future.

As a local resident, I will continue to take care of you.

Let's compare the eating of tablets this time?

Or would you like to try the Chocolat Show in the cold season?

I'm looking forward to seeing you next time.

And ... a restaurant in the hotel that I haven't visited yet.

I was thrilled to see you in the future.

Hello. It's Hanes, a new correspondent!
Recently, I got a sports bike for some reason, so I took a trial ride in the city.
Considering the traffic volume of pedestrians and cars in the city center, the maintenance of bicycle paths, etc.
Rather than enjoying running, I feel that pottering to enjoy visiting historical sites and shops is more suitable.

However, when it comes to sports bikes, pottering in the town is not enough....
One thing to say selfishness is that I want a variety of undulations and scenery.
This time, I would like to introduce a course (Hanes style) that fulfills such hope.
(* Photos in the article are taken at different times of multiple days.)

◼️ Seasonal Waterfront Course
Itinerary: Tsukiji - Toyomi - Harumi - Toyosu - Harumi - Kachidoki - Tsukiji
Time required (approximate): 45 minutes to 1 hour
Course Overview: A course for everyone who enjoys a variety of undulations and scenery in addition to seasonal spots such as Harumi's Athlete Village and Toyosu Market.
Recommended time zone: At any time



The starting point is in front of the Kachidokibashi Museum, located near Kachidokibashi.
Even if you go cycling in a group, there is a space where people can gather without disturbing pedestrians.
It is safe because there is also a public toilet.
For those who come for sightseeing or do not have a bicycle, a community cycle with electric assist is convenient.
I will introduce you later, but please check this map for the nearby cycle ports.

①Museum in Kachidokibashi
In front of the museum, there are monuments of the Navy Accounting School and traces of Kachidoki.
You can learn about the history of Kachidoki before departure.
And if you are lucky, you may see bulbuls that stop in the surrounding trees.



Well, the preface has become longer, but now we'll start for a ride in the waterfront area!

②Tsukiji Outer Market
The first thing you can see on your left after you start running is Tsukiji Outer Market, which is lined with about 460 shops.
The average number of tenants at major department store food department stores in Tokyo is said to be around 80.
It's calculated that there are 5.7 times more shops here.
Please note that there is a large amount of pedestrians and cars around the out-of-market market.

Also, if you want to start around this area, which has good access from subway stations and out-of-market markets, you can use it as a starting point.
There is a cycle port near the traffic light of Ichiba Bridge, so it is convenient to use it here.



If you go south along the site of the market for a while, you will see a sticker indicating the entrance of Route 2 for pedestrians and bicycles.
It may be a bit difficult to understand for the first time, but the entrance is right in front of Ote-mon gate Bridge!



It turns a little bit when entering and exiting, but most of it is straight and wide, making it easier to run.
While paying attention to pedestrians, it opens and crosses the bridge for about three months.



③Hamarikyu Onshi Garden
In the middle of a comfortable ride, you can enter your view....
Historic scenery and seasonal flowers of the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a nationally designated special scenic spot and special historic site.
In mid-February, I could see some of the canola flower, which is now in full bloom.



When I looked down on the surface of the water, I felt like I was called by someone.
A cute waterfowl was swimming with dexterous water.



If you go a little further, you will see the Hamarikyu dock, the lighthouse ruins, the Tsukiji River sluice gate, etc.
From this area, you can see the famous buildings of the ancient and modern times, Hamarikyu Garden and Rainbow Bridge at the same time!



④Tsukiji Ohashi
The flat road ends once in front of the bridge and becomes a gentle uphill.
Senior correspondent Mr. Satsuki's Koi Blower introduced it before.
Check the calligraphy of former Tokyo Governor Yoichi Masuzoe and proceed to the destination!



After crossing the bridge, head to the pier with a ship from Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.



⑤Toyomi Fisheries Wharf
This area has many warehouses and many trucks.
There is a view that looks like a port town reminiscent of a market in Tsukiji.



From here, you can see Harumi Wharf, the athlete's village under construction, the Rainbow Bridge, etc.
It's not as famous as Harumi Wharf, but it's a great photo spot.



As you can see in the picture above, the view at dusk is also good.
You can take a memory of cycling against the backdrop of the blue sky during the day and the shining water surface.



⑥Tuna Wholesale tuna bowl shop
After that, if you run a little while looking at the Asashio Canal to the right, you will see something like a shop.
That's the tuna wholesaler's tuna bowl shop!
Senior correspondent HK introduced in detail in 2017.



The menu is written on the surfboard.
"Tuna wholesale tuna bowl", which is also the name of the store, is 600 yen!
Personally, I'm worried about "super rich bisque soup shrimp buckwheat".



For cycling in the morning, take a break that also served as lunch here.
Why don't you enjoy the seafood and scenery unique to the waterfront?
After that, go back along Route 2 and continue the ride.

⑦Reimei Ohashi, Toyosu Ohashi
Like Tsukiji Ohashi, this is also a relatively recently opened road.
Fortunately, the bicycle path is well-maintained.
However, there are pedestrians, so drive with care for speed.



After experiencing a moderate uphill, you can see the scenery unique to the waterfront.
"The slope was hard, but I'm glad I came."



⑧Toyosu Market
When you go down Toyosu Ohashi, you will see the Toyosu Market.
This is not Chuo-ku, but it is one of the seasonal spots related to the former Tsukiji Market!



⑨Harumi Ohashi
Pass the Toyosu Market, cross the Harumi Ohashi and return to Chuo-ku.
As you can see in the article by Senior Correspondent Sumida Fireworks, Harumi Ohashi has some undulations.
Even a woman like me can cross it without difficulty.
If you use a community cycle with electric assist, you can use it.
You can cross with a smile without having to look rugged.



From this area, you can see warehouses, tower apartments, and sky trees.
I don't get tired of the scenery
After that, we only run to the goal point, Kachidokibashi Museum, but also to the goal point.
Why don't you take a short stop before that?

⑩Derido Kachidoki Ekimae Store (with bicycle parking)
This is a supermarket used by people living in the surrounding area.
With self-service, you can enjoy your specialty coffee at an affordable price.
At the time of the visit, in addition to the commonly seen coffee, you can see the coffee.
There were also flavor coffee such as caramel vanilla and organic coffee.
There are two sizes, 12oz (about 355ml) and 16oz (about 470ml).
Surprisingly plenty, but you can adjust the amount yourself for self-service!

Get off the bicycle and move to the east side of Kachidokibashi with a cup of coffee.
It is also a luxurious time to see Tokyo Tower and Kachidokibashi (the night view is recommended).



If you take a break and cross the bridge, the museum is right there.
This time, I used photos from different time zones, so it may have been difficult to understand.
As I wrote at the beginning, you can make a lap in 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Finally, looking back on the course, the historical scenery such as the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is the garden.
Modern landscapes such as Tower Mansion, Rainbow Bridge, Sky Tree, and Tokyo Tower.
And the scenery of warehouses, ships, sluice gates, etc. unique to the waterfront.
I was able to see a lot of landscapes that were rich in change and did not get tired of my eyes.

In addition, many of the roads that ran this time (other than around Tsukiji and Toyomi Fisheries Wharf) have bicycle paths.
The road width is wide and easy for children.
Whether you live in the city or have come to Chuo-ku for sightseeing from Japan and overseas, you can also visit the city.
This is my favorite course that I would like to recommend.

※When riding a bicycle, follow the manners and rules.
　Don't forget to wear a helmet or turn on the lights after darkening....

 

 

This winter, when birdwatching at Ishikawajima Park entered its fourth year, I feel different from the usual year. The small number of winter birds coming from Siberia and northern China. Waterfowl northern pintail usually has 25,6 to 17,8 birds, but this year it is 7,8 birds. Eurasian wigeon usually has three groups of 14 or 5 birds, but this year only 12 birds. Also, little birds daurian redstart and dusky thrush are hard to appear.

　

Why is it?　

Many wintering places are under construction this year, and there are many rats nearby due to the relocation of Tsukiji Market, so there are many raptors that feed on them, and birds and water birds are moving.

　

In such an environment, I would like to introduce the birds that I met this winter.

　

　Eurasian wigeon with northern pintail (the head is yellow)

　

northern pintail and Eurasian wigeon. Both act in groups of 14 or 5 every year. In particular, Eurasian wigeon was so cautious that he only came to the park on a rainy day with little crowds. But perhaps because of the small number this year, it may be mixed with northern pintail, and even on such a sunny day, four birds came close to people. This is a rare thing! That's right.

　

　northern pintail

　

Eurasian wigeon　

　

　

I'm thrilled to be able to shoot Eurasian wigeon so close.　

　

Next, I would like to introduce it to you. Only one bird comes every year. It's not a long stay, so I'm lucky to meet you. It's endangered species and it's just a few birds in the surrounding Kasai Rinkai Park Wild Bird Garden.

　

The grebes I met on January 24

　

When you dive to catch food, you'll die. Come here! Come! If you think about it, it will rise to a very close distance! ！Please pay attention to your head. A little crown is coming out. Summer hair increases more, but unfortunately it is not visible in Japan.

　

Next is mallard, which shines in the morning sun at the base of Ukishima.

　

mallard　　

　

Every year in mallard, only one pair is observed here in Ishikawajima Park, but many are found in Hamarikyu Gardens. It seems that mallard is the one who can eat the most delicious duck with no smell. At the hunting ground with many kinds of ducks, you must have been targeted first.

　

By the way, the birds that can be seen all year round could also observe cute appearances.

　

　

Hakusekirei

　

　

Three sparrows?　

　

It's a "mofumofu" figure unique to the cold winter.

　

Winter birds in Ishikawajima Park. This year's situation is a bit nervous, but please enjoy a walk while looking for wild birds.

　

　

　

　

 

 

From a friend in Osaka
"The sandwich shop where my daughter is working part-time will open in Ginza.
I'll go to Ginza with the opening staff."
I was contacted.

　

Oh? Is there a sandwich in Ginza?
I have to go!

　

When I looked it up, Mr. Hama-chan, down down.
It's an egg cutlet sandwich shop that is acclaimed on TV.
It was a Ginza store in Kitashinchi Sand.
Ginza is the third store with Shinsaibashi Sand.
It seems that it opened on February 4th.

　

　

I was able to meet the owner, so I heard a lot of stories.
It's based on the concept of opening a shop in a top-class bar district.
In Ginza, it opened in 7-chome.

　

That's from five in the evening to four in the morning.
It seems that it is also popular for moms in Ginza.

　

This area is convincing because there are many luxury shops and famous shops for Western and Japanese sweets.

　

The most popular egg cutlet sandwich, the second most popular salt cutlet sandwich.
Shinsaibashi chicken chili pepper flavor and potato chips.
I had it with white wine, but as expected, all goes well with alcohol!

　

　

In particular, this egg sandwich is not the only one!

　

The mariage of clothes and mayonnaise is exquisite.
It's rich and tidbits♪

　

　

This is the store manager ★It was a very nice person.

　

　

I'm sorry that the shop isn't open for lunch.
Occasionally, it seems that the store is opened at a department store event.
Check it out on the Facebook page (*^^*)

　As you all know, Matsuzaki Senmochi has moved to Ginza 5-6-9.

This year, for the first time, I visited the store and learned that a rice cracker called "Tokyo Marathon Week 2019 Shamitofu" is being sold.

Two pieces of rice crackers are wrapped in cellophane, one with the logo of "Tokyo Marathon Week 2019", and the other with an airship.

And when you buy this rice cracker, you can get two "TOKYO MARATHON WEEK 2019 logo and can badges designed for the city of Tokyo".

It's ￥324, including consumption tax. I put it on my hat right away.

　By all means, be sure to buy it and support runners in Ginza, Kyobashi and Nihonbashi.

※The Tokyo Marathon 2019 will be held on March 3rd.
