Tomato Juice: Kantaro

Posted on by sonokotchi

Tomato Juice, Kantaro, arrived which I bought on Amazon.


It’s in glass bottle and looks nice on the photo.

I thought it’s a normal sized bottle, 1 liter or  bigger…?

But I received a small box.

There are many ????? in my head.

But it’s actually 180 ml bottle.

I took a photo with iPhone 6S.


It’s USD 6.5 per bottle (180 ml).

It’s not cheap.

I tried this tomato juice……it’s delicious.

It contains equivalent to 15 tomatoes’ nutritious factors; must be healthy.

It has to be!

Seriously, it’s delicious.

Would I buy it again?

I’ll think about it.

Once again, it’s delicious.

A Decent Lunch

Posted on by sonokotchi

I went out to have a decent lunch, Chinese @ Hagoromo, Ginza, Tokyo today.

Rice (carbohydrates) was delicious; I didn’t weight it, but I guessed about 200g.

Later I checked the calories for rice; it’s 330 calories. Ahhhhhhh


I sought an advice from my physician and was told I should enjoy salad for dinner…

I’m also encouraged to exercise more. Another ahhhhhhhh


When I returned home, I received a package – aibow touch pen.

Hummmm, I can write on my iPhone and iPad, but not as I dreamed.

My palm is on the way.

On the web, someone advised to wear a glove.

It won’t look nice…. sight

Enhancing My Time @ Gym and Room

Posted on by sonokotchi

It is a Japanese national holiday today: Ocean Day.

It’s been hot in Japan and there was no national holiday in July.

Japanese government was smart to create a national holiday in July for a break.

However, my office opened today.

It’s been a quiet day so I went out for lunch.

I had a Freahness Burger’s Cheese Burger set.


It’s a nice Japanese burger shop and delicious, but I learned that calory is high… 

delicious food always with calories…… ahhhhhh


Boss left the office and I was alone in the office this afternoon.

I quickly finished writing reports and sending emails to make time to further study about privileges of being Amazon Prime members.

Annual fee of JPY 3,900 covers fast delivery fee, video and music.

I was considering to enhance my time at gym and room with these video and music.

I had time to Pochi.

Amazon Prime Music

Natural Sauna

Posted on by sonokotchi

It’s been very hot in Tokyo.
By calenday, it’s supposed to be rainy season; but it’ve been dry: High 31C/Low 25C.

Even at midnight, it’s still 27C.

I’ve been sweating when I walk on the street.

I feel like I’ve been in sauna, natural sauna.

After soaking in a tub, I scrubbed dead skins using this Korean Mitten.

The performance was good; my skin must have been soft by the natural sauna.

I feel my skin is softer now after peeling dead skins off!!

Today’s Shopping @ Amazon 

Posted on by sonokotchi

Yes, I pochi (press) again yesterday.

Today, I already received a package.


I opened a box…. ta-da!!!


I bought a 20,000 mAh power bank.

It’s heavier than I thought by actually holding 397g body; but it cannot beat the price: only USD 20 for 20,000 mAh!

This time, I’ll try not to spoil it.

Last time, I didn’t know that I need to charge and use it immediately.

When I brought it to my trip, it didn’t work…

This time, I will charge and test it!


This is my third time buying Moroccan Oil.

The other day, I bought small bottles for traveling.

This time, I’m buying a bigger bottle: 200 ml.

All women cannot live without hair care products and today, Moroccan Oil became a must item for my hair.

It came with a Moroccan Oil paper bag.

In Japan, a branded paper bag is equally important. hahaha


Lastly, I bought two boxes of 48 carbonated bath tablets – Kao’s Bub – in six aroma.

It’s consumable items (I already posted about Bub), I use one tablet every night when I bath; therefore, I bought two boxes to save delivery cost (free delivery).


Am I happy tonight?

YES!

Happy Saturday

Posted on by sonokotchi

I started my Saturday by going to hair salon.

After beautifying, went for lunch at my favorite Tenpura shop, Mikaku @ Roppongi.

Ummmm delicious!



It is a Hoozuki Ichi (Chinese Lantern Plant Market) day at Asahi Shrine.

Hoozuki protect us from bad lucks.


So beautiful.


I didn’t buy it but I got blessed by looking at them and praying at the Shrine.

I got these cute shoes as sourvenirs from Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), Vietnam. 

Soles are also cute!

Thank you!

I had Ichiran Ramen for dinner.

There are many foreigners at Ichiran tonight.

Ichiran opened a branch in Taiwan recently and there was a news that many people queue in line.

I like their noodle.

Their ordering system is unique.

If you are interested, please check my old post for how to order at Ichiran.

Shopping @ Bic Camera, Yurakucho

Posted on by sonokotchi

My hair curler died after returned from the U.S.

Today, I went to Bic Camera after office to buy my favorite Panasonic Hair Curler – the successor.




We cannot judge a retailer by its name.

Bic Camera was originally a camera shop selling cameras.

Today, it’s a retailer selling a wide range of products such as food, alcohol, mobile phones & accessories, PC, printers, electric household, beauty goods, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, etc.

This shop is fun to visit.

Trip to the US (Day 8)

Posted on by sonokotchi

I really enjoyed the buffet at Las Vegas.


On the way to the airport, I spotted the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel.

One day, I would like to stay over at one of Hard Rock Cafe Hotels.


Sayonara Vegas…it had fun during my stay.

A challenge to use a LCC carrier is the weight.

I am usually good at managing the weight without using a scale. fufufu


Oh, this is my first time to see a cosmetics vending machine.


And wow, there are Casinos at every gates!


There are many entertainments at the airport, but it’s time for boarding.



On the plane, I couldn’t enjoy movies because I thought I can watch movies by using Gogo Entertainment apps which should be should be able to use on any LCC carriers, but for the Virgins America, it seems it requires to download their apps for any entertainment on the plane.

However, I enjoyed one entertainment: their safety video. 

It’s like a musical.

Yes, I happily pay attention to this video.


I had a nice American Chinese food for lunch: Panda Express.

I was told Panda Express plans to expand business in Japan.

I like American Chinese food and look forward to enjoying Panda Express’ food in Tokyo!

I did things that I must do in San Francisco.

Firsr, ride on a cable car.


Walk at Fisherman’s Warf and buy a Hard Rock Cafe’s merchandise.


Watch Sea Lions.


Eat Crab.


After dinner drove through San Francisco passing by few trains that were imported from overseas.


AT & T Park – San Francisco Giants Baseball Team Field.


And checked-in at the last hotel of this trip.


I was excited to watch the latest episode of Hawaii Five-O.
