I assisted the company’s product, Superfood Granola, at the Noma Cooking School, Kichijoji, Tokyo.
I’m happy to witness that the product is well received by Japanese consumers.
At the evening, I met my old friend from Malaysia at Aqua, Imperial Hotel Tokyo.
We couldn’t stop talking though it’s getting late and I mean LATE because we had so much to catch up.
It is Choco’s graduation day.
We participated 10 lessons to find a way to live together comfortably.
Three months ago, I was worried, but now I’m confident and happy to live with him.
There was a set of test.
Though we didn’t pass all tests coz some are not relevant to our life style, we enjoyed participating the test.
Others are better trained but I found they participated in kindergarten to get extra training.
No wonder.
Choco received a diploma from Familina Garden Minami-Aoyama.
Good Job, Choco!
I was invited for dinner reception hosted by C-ASTEC (Chubu Aerospace Industrial Technology Centre: Nagoya/Chubu Area Aerospace Industrial Cluster) at Italian Restaurant Al Porto, Tokyo Big Sight.
I returned to Tokyo Big Sight at the evening.
First, I was hesitated to attend alone but it became a fun evening.
I watched a free projection mapping show when I arrived Tokyo Big Sight.
Then I enjoyed talking to aerospace players from Nagoya (Japan), Germany, Singapore and Malaysia with nice Italian wine and food.
I attended Opening Reception of Japan International Aerospace Exhibition 2018.
The event received many people in uniform (military) and they all wearIng many stars. hahaha
The scale of event was rather small because the event was squeezed in 2018.
The next event supposed to be held in 2020 but we won’t be able to host any event there because Tokyo Big Sight, the trade fair venue, will convert to the press center for Tokyo Olympics 2020.
I managed to meet all contacts that I wanted to follow up at JA 2018.
At the evening, I participated a wine lesson on Champagne at Enoteca Marunouchi.
I tasted following champagnes:
Philippe Glavier
Nomine Renard
2008 Henriot
2012 Louis Roederer
C’est si bon!
Air is getting colder and crispier.
Town is decorated for Christmas.
Year End is approaching in Tokyo…
I found this 3D Christmas Art @ Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.
The picture is flat on the floor so that we can walk on it.
From the one floor above, it looks like as if these are displayed.
I had a nice Pork Shabu Shabu at Butagumi, Roppongi.
I highly recommend to try Kagua Beer.
Japanese company requested Belgium Brewery to produce a beer according to Japanese company’s recipe.
Kagua Blanc and Rouge.
I was shocked when I had a sip of Rouge; I had a Rouge first.
If you want to surprise twice, please start with Blanc.
However, Rouge is knock-out and I was knocked-out. hahaha
A bottle of wine is reasonable there; a French Bordeaux wine for JPY 3900 for a bottle.
Food is also nice.
Would I go back again..? Absolutely!
On the way back home, I saw night illumination from the park.
I quickly went back and went to the park with Choco.
Press people were there to take photos and video.
I believe those are for promotion and meant for announcement for Christmas event at Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.
I watched a whole three minutes show selfishly to myself and Choco before the event starts.
It’s so beautiful….
I am handling few missions now.
I visited G-Mark Exhibition which is currently held at Tokyo Midtown Tokyo.
The Good Design Selection System (or G Mark System) was founded in 1957 by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (currently, known as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) to encourage industrial players to design products and services to enrich the society.
I witnessed many interesting products and services.
in the afternoon I received another mission for foundry and engineering.
I arranged the briefing and dialogue session at Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA) on JIS Standards.
The Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) based on the Industrial Standardization Act are national standards intended to ensure the appropriate quality of mining and manufacturing products, provide product information, advance technology, increase productivity, improve the competitive environment, and enhance the interchangeability and compatibility of interfaces.
It was beneficial day but tiring.
It’s Halloween today.
During my absence, my friend stopped by to give me treats!
I surely need sugar rush now!
I texted her, I will not trick you!.
Trick or Treat!
I had to release my tension which was built up in a week from work.
I participated in Wine Tasting for Bourgogne White Wine at Enoteca Marunouchi Lounge.
I tried five types of white wine from Bourgogne.
These are:
Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Daniel Dampt (2014)
Marsannay Geantet Pansiot (2015)
Bourgogne Aligote Matrot (2014)
Puligny-Montrachet Olivier Leflaive (2016)
Macon-Villages Les Heritiers Du Comte Lafon (2017)
I went to watch the professional rugby game at Chichibu no Miya Rugby Jo (Prince Chichibu Rugby Stadium), Aoyama, Tokyo.
The match was Suntory Sungoliath vs Hino Red Dolphins.
I was seating at Suntory side; therefore, I bought a cup of beer to support the team.
It was fun to watch because the team that I was cheering, Suntory Sungoliath, won by 50 points.
That wasn’t it.
I could enjoy another game.
The Jingu Dai 2 Kyujo (the Jingu No. 2 Baseball Stadium is next to the rugby stadium.
The baseball game between Tokyo University and Hose University was about to finish (8th inning); as such, we could enter the stadium for free or without a ticket.
This is also my first time to watch Baseball Tournament among Six Universities.
Todai (Tokyo University) lost the game but it was fun to cheer the team.
I’m glad that my friend asked me to join.
After enjoying two games, I returned home to cook for my parents for dinner.
