I get excited when I dine at American style restaurant and food: Pizza Slice and Soda Fountain, Roppongi.
I had a slice of pizza, french fries and Dr. Pepper.
You know what I mean?

Belated Father’s Day
It’s an once in a month flower arrangement class day.
I look forward seeing my class mates for chatting and arranging flower do relax me well.
I had a dinner appointment with my parents; therefore, I couldn’t stay for tea.
Dad wanted to go to Nihonbashi Kiyokawa for eel dinner.
We had our dinner at nice Washitsuka (Japanese room).
There is a small Japanese garden at the corridor.
This restaurant has 145 years of history and the building is 90 years old.
The building became Japanese tangible properties last year.
And we had this restaurant to ourselves only.
How exclusive and luxurious.
Food is also good; I started with Unagi (eel) Cola.
It doesn’t taste eel but it’s with eel essence.
I also had nice Akita Sake Shirakamisanchi,
It was a nice belated Father’s Day with my parents.
Dashi (Soup Stock) Vending Machine
Last Sunday I found an unique vending machine at the parking space: Dashi Vending machine.
The manufacturer of dashi is located in Hiroshima.
I wonder how they supply the products.
Dashi is basic soup stock for various Japanese dish such as miso soup, udon, etc.
This particular dashi uses flying fish to get stock.
Should I try it one day? Hummmm
Farewell Lunch for Boss
My boss will be transferred to the headquarter on 30 June 2019.
I invited Boss and his family for lunch at my house on 15 June 2019.
I didn’t have much time for preparation so I prepared simple Temakizushi (Hand Rolled Sushi).
I don’t know their preference and I thought it should be fun for children to make their own.
Furthermore, I can save time for cooking. hahaha
Thank you Boss.
Dinner at Unagi Fujita, Shiroganedai, Tokyo
I had a nice Unagi (eel) dinner with my friends on the night of 12 June 2019.
I only knew Unaju (Eel Rice Bowl) for eel dish, but he introduced me to other preparations years ago.
He again introduced me to a nice eel restaurant.
We haven’t met privately for long but we have so many memories that we talked as if we just met yesterday.

Sata Juro, Azabu-Juban

Choco is allowed at terrace seat.
I enjoyed their food
And there is a menu book for Choco as well!
He had Tebasaki (chicken wings) for supper.
This restaurant will be surely added to my address book!
Reception Hosted by the Society of Japan Aerospace Companies
I was invited to the annual reception hosted by the Society of Japanese Aerospace Companies at ANA Intercontinental Hotel Tokyo (Akasaka, Tokyo) on 31 May 2019.
I networked with Japanese Aerospace industrial players and I enjoyed talking to them.
I enjoyed talking so much that I was unable to eat nice food served by the hotel.
I don’t know what I missed out. hahaha
Today’s Flower Arrangement
The school has closed in December 2018; therefore, we are arranging at Sensei’s (teacher’s) house.
I used to purchase flower according to size and design that I wanted to arrange at the time.
Today, there is a challenge that I need to scale, design and arrange with provided flower: type, colour and quantity.
To my surprise, I enjoy the challenge.
After the lesson, we went to Aloha Kitchen, Atre Kichijoji, Kichijoji Station for chat, soufflé pancake and drink (in my case, red sangria).
Wherever we were, it would be fun to be with friends!
Trump’s Visit to Tokyo
I returned from Australia and I was surprised to see many police men in my neighborhood: Roppongi Area.
Soon I found why; President Trump was invited as the first State Guest of the new Emperor Naruhito.
American Embassy is located in the area and Prime Minister Abe was planning to take Mr. and Mrs. Trump for a dinner at the restaurant in Roppongi.
I felt very safe when I was walking in the park at night because I bumped into a police man every 5-10 m. hahaha.
I pitied police men because Trump’s Visit was on 25 – 28 May 2019 and Roppongi was crowded by people due to the event: Roppongi Art Night on 25 – 26 May 2019.
The arts were displayed.
And there was the free opened air documentary movie on Banksy.
I met up with parents for dinner.
It was difficult to get a table on Saturday, 25 May 2019.
I visited few restaurants and I managed to get a table that was just cleared at Le Pain Quotidien, Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.
I usually come here for a brunch and it was my first time having a dinner here.
I even like their dinner menu!
It’s simple, fresh, delicious and economical.
The restaurant is highly recommended for dinner as well!
