Treasures from Sacred IzumoIzumo, located in Shimane prefecture, is said to be a land of myths, known for Izumo Oyashiro, a shrine for the deity protecting the country. 2012 marks the 1300th year of the compilation of Kojiki, which records the mythical legends related to Izumo and the construction of Izumo Oyashiro.
On the occasion of these events an exhibition ‘Treasures from Sacred Izumo’ is held at Tokyo National Museum from October 10th.
The exhibition is separated into displays of Izumo Oyashiro, the oldest shrine in Japan holding a distinguished history, and the Shimane jewels. All exhibition pieces are closely associated with each other and reveal a history dating back to the times of mythological Japan.

Jinbōchō DenToday we introduce to you the popular and ever hospitable restaurant of Japanese cuisine, “Den”. Having accumulated experience at Sakurazaka Uwo Toku and other restaurants, Zaiyu Hasegawa decided to start his own restaurant in 2007, and opened Den in Jinbōchō. In its third year, the restaurant received its first star from the Michelin Guide 2010th edition, and a second the following year. It is not an exaggeration to say that Den is currently the fastest growing restaurant in Tokyo.
The restaurant is a solitary building surrounded by Jinbōchō’s alleyways and black fences. As you can see in the picture below, there is a noren at the entrance.
The toast is provided compliments of the house; this time is was berlucchi spumante. It was something of a special day, and this kind of thoughtfulness really makes an impression on guests.
