On the way to the movie theater, I saw Crayon Shin-Chan.
Crayon Shin-Chan is Japanese animation popular among children.
I went to watch Red Sparrow today.
It’s rated movie: R-15.
The movie surprised me by actions and story.
Month: April 2018
Cheese Kitchen Racler, Marronnier Gate Ginza 1, Yurakucho, Tokyo
I had nice cheese and wine at restaurant named Racler, Marronnier Gate Ginza 1, Yurakucho tonight.
Yes, I visited the next building, Marronnier Gate Ginza 2 yesterday; what a coincidence.
I enjoyed cheesy Racler.
It reminded me my trip to Switzerland in Summer 2013.
Aoyama, Yurakucho, Ginza and Roppongi, Tokyo
Mom stayed over night so I cooked brunch for two.
First, we went to fabric specialized store: Christian Fischbacher at Aoyama, Tokyo.
This company imports curtains from Switzerland and Italy.
There are few curtains that we are interested.
We troubled them to hung curtains to see how it looks on windows.
They are nice and kind that they didn’t mind to do so.
Then we decide to go to an interior shop, Nitori at Yurakucho, Tokyo.
On the way to Aoyama 1-Chome Station, we passed by Honda Headquarters’ Showroom.
It seems Honda launched a new motorcycle today.
Japanese fiscal year starts in April and ends in March.
1st April is the first day of Japanese fiscal year.
It is a suitable day for implementing something NEW for Japanese company today.
We reached Nitori which is located at 5th and 6th Floor of Marronnier Gate Ginza 2, Yurakucho, Tokyo.
Nitori is originated from furniture production town Asahikawa, Hokkaido.
Today, the company aggressively imports economical furniture and operates 471 retail stores.
To my surprise, there are Nitori shops in Taiwan (27 stores), the USA (5 stores) and China (11 stores).
Furniture is economical and stylish.
I can even learn how to hung my curtains from their sales floor.
Today, we both enjoyed furniture hunting.
We went for good meaty dinner at Dedesuke, Ginza.
We enjoyed various parts of beef.
On the way back, we stopped by Japanese bakery shop, Kimuraya at Ginza.
Kimuraya is famous for Anpan (red bean bans).
Today, I bought Sakura-Koshian-Pan (Sakura Red Bean Bans), Sakura-Cream-Pan (Sakura and custard cream bans) and Ichijiku-Pan (fig bans).
I plan to bring them for my lunch tomorrow.
Then I get Sakura Cinnabon at Cinnabon, Roppongi for breakfast.
I cannot wait to try them all tomorrow!!! fufufu
Deep Breath
I was simply busy with work this week.
I had business meetings to arrange, coordinating a reporter for the media programme for the event, Preparation for quarterly KPI report; in addition, my boss is suddenly called back to the headquarters next Monday so I had to arrange his air ticket and presentation material.
With no exception, after I submitted the presentation which was a total of 25 pages, my boss requested this and that to be included and charts…I prepared a total of 40 pages.
He didn’t comment on the final presentation material, but he acknowledged receipt of it so I consider it’s done.
Today, I went to spa for body treatment.
Yes, I need a nice break.
It started with taking a hydro jet bath; it’s strong jacuzzi and this system is developed by Australia.
It stimulates to sweat.
Today, I learned why it’s important and how to take a deep breath.
According to a beautician, I need to take more oxygen to stimulate my metabolism.
Hummm, I take note that I need to take a deep breath frequently.
Spa gave me Roku-Chan Tenugui (Japanese style towel).
Tokyo-Chan is a mascot of Hollywood May’s Garden Spa.
He has returned to his (owner’s) house and hasn’t come back yet.
I miss him.
At the evening, I joined parents for a dinner at Wolfgang Puck Pizza, Akasaka Ark Hills.
We like to dine here after the concert at the Suntory Hall, Akasaka Ark shills.
Mom and I continued drinking at my room.
She is staying over night because we plan furniture hunting tomorrow.
We opened Canadian Ice Wine, Inniskillin.
We remember our trip to Canada in winter 2016.
Wine and our memories are both sweet.
Kanpai (Cheers).
