Ginza Kimura family Ginza is cherry blossom color
From the intersection of Ginza 4-chome, a pink banner that informs you of the coming of spring stands out.
It is a banner that imitates the cherry blossom trees of the Ginza Kimura family. When you see it, your heart swells and bounces.
Emperor Meiji's tasteful sake variety Anpan
The word "Kimura family" on the signboard of the shop was written by Tesshu Yamaoka, who was called "Mifune of late Tokugawa shogunate".
And we set Tesshu Yamaoka to have our "Sake Anpan" served in Emperor Meiji.
It was April 4, 1875 (Meiji 8).

The emperor went to the residence of Akitake Tokugawa, the head of the Mito Tokugawa family. He saw the calligraphy of Akitake's grandfathers, Mitsukuni Mito and Nariaki Tokugawa, and praised his ambition. It depicts the Emperor watching the cherry blossoms in full bloom with Akitake and others.
