I went to the Kyoto Aquarium, which was in Christmas mode with the 'Giant salamander plush toy tree' decorated with 100 large and small giant salamanders.



With only one month left until Christmas, the atmosphere of the city is becoming more and more Christmas-like, but at the

Kyoto Aquarium that appeared in the sealess Kyoto basin, 100 animals from November 25 to December 25. 'Christmas giant salamander tree' decorated with giant salamander, 'LIFE TREE' with red-bellied newt aquariums and colorfully illuminated with LED lights, and a tree decorated with more than 200 cute wooden ornaments of penguins and fish. A total of three trees are displayed, and it is said that a Christmas-only menu is also available at the cafe, so I actually went and enjoyed Christmas a little earlier.

Arrived at Kyoto Aquarium.



The giant salamander stuffed toy tree was displayed in the museum shop.



The tree reproduces the appearance of a giant salamander climbing a river, and has a tremendous presence. Since the tree exhibition will be held from November 25th, the decoration will be done overnight from the 24th.



Plush toys are decorated in various sizes, large and small. The following is an LL size (about 90 cm) giant salamander (2800 yen including tax)



L size (about 55 cm) is 2000 yen (tax included)



M size (about 30 cm) is 1300 yen (tax included)



The S size (about 20 cm) buried in a group of giant salamanders can be purchased for 750 yen (tax included).



A cute expression that will heal you unintentionally.



The stuffed animals used for the tree were lined up on the product shelves.



The glass balls on the tree express the spray, and the curl ribbon expresses the momentum of the water.



The top of the tree is not a star, but a large ribbon and a stuffed giant salamander designed by

illustrator Junzo Terada.



Next to the tree was also a limited edition of 10 giant salamander stuffed animals wrapped in a red muffler.



This is 13,000 yen including tax, and the size is 130 cm, which is the size you want to make into a pillow.



In addition, a giant salamander with a total length of 170 cm and a total length of 25,000 yen was found on the wall.



There are a total of three trees displayed in the Kyoto Aquarium during Christmas time, and at the entrance of the aquarium, there was a 'LIFE TREE' that was illuminated by LED lights with cube-shaped aquariums stacked on top of each other.



The lights are lit in the image of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. ..



In the aquarium full of moss and aquatic plants ...



'Japanese fire belly newt' was swimming.



And the third tree appears in the exchange plaza in the hall. The white tree is decorated with ornaments designed by illustrator Junzo Terada. The height of the tree is 2.7m.



Ornaments such as penguins and fish are made of wood and decorated with 50 different pop textile papers.

There will also be a workshop on November 30th (Sat) and December 1st (Sun) where you can make a Christmas tree using this textile.



A large light blue ribbon and penguins and star decorations are on the top.



At the base of the tree is a stuffed giant salamander.



In addition, a Christmas menu will be on sale for a limited time from November 25th (Monday) to December 25th (Wednesday) at the cafe inside the building.



There is a penguin monaka (300 yen including tax) sign in front of the shop.



'Takosen-style' and 'Ogura whipped cream' are usually sold as penguins, but in addition to that, 'Spicy Christmas' and 'Sweets Christmas' are sold at Christmas time.



This is 'Spicy Christmas' and 'Sweets Christmas'



Spicy Christmas is a tandoori chicken and rich avocado cream topped with crispy shibazuke.



When I closed the lid, I found a penguins pattern that was so cute that it was a waste to eat.



While staring at my round eyes ...



I'll eat it. Although it says spicy, tandoori chicken is not so spicy, and even people who are not good at spicy foods seem to have no problem, and the addition of avocado paste makes it a mellow flavor. When I see the existence of shibazuke, I'm surprised for a moment, but the crispy texture is an accent of soft avocado paste and tandoori chicken, and it seems to be delicious for children and adults alike. Finished.



Another limited menu is Sweets Christmas. The shades of red, white and brown give it a Christmas-like atmosphere.



Also put the lid on ...



From the head.



There are whipped cream, brownies and berries inside, but the brownies are modest in sweetness, the whipped cream is not so sweet, and you can eat it alone without coffee. The crispy texture and sweetness of the slightly frozen berries accentuate this, which is also delicious.



In addition, a new product, Osangam (180 yen including tax), was also sold at the museum shop.



There are 8 colors in all.



All of them are a little silly and charming.



The spots on the back and the limbs are well made, so if you have all kinds of them as souvenirs or gifts, you will be pleased.



In addition, a workshop to make greeting cards for LIFE TREE is being held, and from Saturday, December 21st to Wednesday, December 25th, you can experience the night dolphin performance and the night aquarium. During the period, an event that is a little different from the usual aquarium and can only be enjoyed now is held.
