Actually.

Edamame, I was really looking forward to it long before it opened.

For you.

When I enjoyed my trip to Taiwan last fall

(I enjoyed the dashi at that time in Haneda.)

I'm shopping at a local Seikatsu store.

A nice general merchandise section or book section

In particular, the enhancement of the children's book section left an impression.

(Azuki, a 3-year-old daughter at that time, I don't understand Chinese, but it showed a considerable amount of food.)

And after a while after returning to Japan, I saw the press release of "Seisei Life Landing in Japan!"

If this came to Japan... If you think about it, you can only feel excited!

I was thinking about it.

That's right. This "Seishinsei Nihonbashi" is the first store that has expanded outside the Chinese language area.

A wonderful thing like Taiwan.

I was looking forward to seeing that the good tastes chosen by Makoto products will surely gather.

Well, on the day of the visit.

It was a weekend just after the opening, so there were quite a lot of people, but even in such a situation, my daughter Azuki went to the picture book corner.

My mother, Edamame, just follows.

Find a favorite picture book that my mother didn't know and seems to have met in kindergarten here

I'm told you to do it.

There was also a space in the picture book corner where you could sit down and read books carefully.

(In addition, a chair with a tatami mat is also a calming device.)

・・・ How many books have I been reading for more than an hour?

But from my mother's point of view, this picture book is wonderful! I thought it.

There are recent picture books, but our parents were reading when they were children.

There are a lot of picture books I think of as "masterpieces" lined up.

Surely the bookstore clerk has the thought of "I want you to read this" in each book.

I thought it was like a lineup that I was choosing.

That's the time when you can easily buy books without leaving home by online shopping.

And when many books can be read in e-books.

That's why it's such an era, "a masterpiece that you can only meet when you pick it up at a bookstore."

I felt the value.

Azuki also likes this place very much.

And what I was looking forward to secretly

It's the work of a picture book writer in Taiwan.

This is because the children's book area, which I visited during my visit to Taiwan last fall.

There are quite a few "works of Japanese picture book writers translated into Chinese."

Based on that, I thought, "There must be some Taiwanese picture book writers here!"

・・Yes, it was!

Introduction of a famous picture book writer in Taiwan called "Ikume (Jimmy)"

Jimmy's work was displayed properly.

And this time, Edamame bought this book by Jimmy.

It is a work called "Look at the same moon."

It is the amount of sentences that can be read by young azuki.

The content is so that the adult's chest can be tightened tightly.

It is full of hope for peace.

I hope you will pick it up.

By the way ... this is a completely adult hobby.

Twelve Taiwanese picture book writers drew pictures in collaboration.

It's called "Taiwan Style Map".

Why don't you make a map of breakfast all over Taiwan?

Why don't you make a map of fruits all over Taiwan?

We are introducing Taiwan on various themes such as this.

And there is also a page that introduces the artists' favorite cities.

It's wonderful to be picked up not only so-called major tourist cities.

・・What should I do? I wanted to go to Taiwan again soon.

This is not a Japanese translation but a Chinese translation.

Since it is originally a picture book, the content is easy to understand.

Above all, each other is the kanji cultural sphere.

Even if you don't understand Chinese, you can guess the meaning from kanji somehow.

・・Kanji is wonderful!

Well, buy a book with great satisfaction.

By the way ... I'm thinking of buying snacks and going home.

We stopped by a long-established confectionery shop in Taiwan, "Kuo Genmai".

It is also famous for the classic Taiwanese souvenir pineapple cake.

At the main store in Taipei, you will surely be able to experience making pineapple cakes.

I want to go to make it together when the azuki gets a little bigger.

When I was preparing for a trip to Taiwan, I had delusions.

Then.

There's a nice invitation from the shop.

"I'm going to have a workshop on making wild gooses made with peanuts.

Would you like to join us if you like?"

・・・ I was worried about whether I could do it with children.

My mother's interests won easily, so I decided to go there.

Not only the venue, but also in a good quality life.

It's a place called "eslite FORUM".

There are bookshelves behind the confectioner of "Kuo Gengyi" from Taiwan.

At such a workshop venue, we make peanut flour and sugar geese.

First of all, the teacher's example.

Pack the powder into a tightly packed mold and pack it.

Remove the mold gently.

A cute peanut-shaped wild goose is ready.

It was an elegant sweetness that loosened in the mouth.

After that, everyone actually stuffed it into a mold.

Of course, you can also experience Azuki.

(I love you very much for your help.)

"I've made a guy!" He said, "I was very satisfied.

It seems that "experience" is valued in Makoto Life.

There is also a plan to hold a workshop on "Kuo Genmai" at the kitchen studio in the future.

I feel like I'm going to go to this place more and more.

And yeah.

Not only bookstores but also Seishin Life Nihonbashi is a cosmetics shop from Taiwan.

There are plenty of places to enjoy, such as delicious Taiwanese restaurants.

(Personally, I was worried about the "perfume shop made of tea" and I couldn't help it.)

I hope you will continue to have many encounters and excitement in this place!
