The Tokyo Oratorienchor Concert.

I went to listen to the Tokyo Oratorienchor’s 23rd Concert on July 3.

It was held at the Daiichi Seimei hall in Harumi Toriton Square.

A friend of mine is a member of the chorus group.

He gave me two tickets for my wife and me.

That was my first visit to the Harumi area.

The Daiichi Seimei Hall building is big and clean.

The building is near the Kachidoki bridge on the Sumida river.

The Music set my mind at ease.

The musical program was the Missa in g-moll “Lutherische Messe” BWV.235 by Johann Sebastian Bach and the Requiem in d-moll KV.626 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

After that we went to a Monjya Yaki shop.  

It was a new experience for me.    It tasted good.

 

 

 

This is the Daiichi-seimei Hall Building.

    

    

    

    

 

This is the Monjyayaki shop.

    

    

     

 

The Kachidoki Bridge was opened in the old days.

 

 

 

 

That's it.

About Rainier cherries.

I looked up the word Rainier.

Rainier is a mountain’s name.

It is the highest mountain in the Cascade Mountains, in the State of Washington.

I saw Mt. Rainier from the Seattle airport, when I went to Alaska.

We call it the Tacoma Fuji because it is similar to Mt. Fuji.

By the way, Rainier cherries hang from trees in the Yakima Valley at Olmstead Orchards.     

                    These are Rainier cherries.

         

 

I think Rainier cherries look like Japanese Sato-nishiki cherries.

                  

                          These are the Sato-nishiki.

   

I love the Sato-nishiki.  That’s why, I'd like to try Rainier chreeies and compare the teste.

But Rainier cherries and Sato-nishiki are very expensive.

Someone give them to me please.

That’s it.

Walking in the Tama area (No. 10）.

I walked along the Senkawa water supply canal from the Sakai bridge to the Ise bridge with my daughter, her husband and my wife on the 2nd of July.

We started out from Musashisakai Station on the Chuo Line to Kamisyakujii Station on the SeibuLine.

When we had walked about 800m from the station to the north, we reached the Sakai bridge on the Tamagawa water supply canal where water was diverted to the Senkawa water supply canal.

The Senkawa canal was made by Syogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

We walked along the Senkawa canal to Kamisyakujii Station.

The canal is about 22km until Sugamo in Toshima Ward.

There are many bridges and alot of carp in the canal.

We walked about 9km and the number of steps was 18,000 steps.

After we arrived at our destination we had a late lunch at the Isomaru Suisan in front of the Kamisyakujii station.

The draft beer was very good.   

 

We started out from Musashisakai Station.
