Greedy Night: Hiroshima-yaki Dinner and Massage

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had Hiroshima-yaki at Sanshou, Ginza for dinner.

Sanshou is located at the second floor of Hiroshima TAU: an antenna shop where we can buy Hiroshima local specialties.

Hiroshima-yaki is originated from Hiroshima, similar to Okonomiyaki (Osaka Culture), but it’s with noodle.

I had deluxe Hiroshima-yaki with oyster, squid, shrimp and pork.

A restaurant is simple, but food is delicious♪

My back was so stiff; Googled for massage and went to Roppongi Yuren.


Surprisingly, many Japanese celebrities visited this massage shop; these are their autographs.


The place is small, but clean and homey; customers kept on coming in.

I enjoyed 100 mins body and foot massage.


My massager is good; my body is light now.

Thank you, Mo-san!

Being Lunch Foodie

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had a Japanese style curry at Joto Curry  at Shibuya, Tokyo for lunch today.


According to the signboard, there are 50 Joto Curry Restaurants in Osaka and this is their Tokyo Main Store.

It’s delicious and reasonable.


For dessert, I had nice wine and cake.

These were niiiiiiiiiccccccceeeeee.


Please check this wine: BUCELLA 2013 (Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon) if you like your wine full body.

Yes, I over enjoyed lunch today.

Green Smoothie……hahaha

Protein Charge

Posted on by sonokotchi

I got the name of a nice BBQ restaurant in the neighborhood last night: Dedesuke Ginza.

I couldnt wait; I went to Dedesuke Ginza TODAY for early dinner.

Meats are so FRESH!

I enjoyed every dishes!

It is highly recommended to go to this restaurant if you are a meat lover.

Food is fresh, place is clean and price is reasonable!

Don’t worry; English menu and foreign language speaking staffs (English and Chinese) are available.


After dinner, I was so full and could enjoy a walk in Ginza.

Earlier today, I spotted an electric business card recorder and electric memo pad on the magazine.

According to a magazine, I can find these at Ginza Itoya.


I was in Ginza already; I went to Ginza Itoya Annex to check out these.

I love visiting Ginza Itoya because we can find many innovative stationeries there!

It’s so much fun to walk around the building♪

Good exercise, too!

Gong Xi Fa Cai

Posted on by sonokotchi

I have Chinese Malaysian friends and this is the greeting for Happy Chinese New Year in Malaysia.

I noticed mainland Chinese greet differently; perhaps they use different dialects.

I had a dinner at Ichiraku Restaurant (一楽) which is located in Yokohama Chinatown (the largest Chinatown in Japan) to celebrate Chinese New Year tonight.

We enjoyed delicious Chinese food with shaoxing rice wine♪

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Wish you good health, joy, wealth and prosperous year!

Anahachimangu (Anahachiman Shrine) @ Waseda, Tokyo

Posted on by sonokotchi

I went to Anahachimangu to get a good luck charms.


These are good luck charms for a smooth year: smooth relationships, smooth money transactions, etc.


I need to place a round good luck charm on a wall according to an instruction at midnight of 3 February 2017.

It has to face this year’s good luck direction: North- Northwest.

After a prayer and getting good luck charms, we went to lunch at Sanchoan.

Mom and I shared a “Yuzu soba ((facilitating) smoothness soba)” and Tonkatsu (pork rice bowl).

There is a rumor that this restaurant is a founder of tonkatsu.

I came for a good luck soba and their famous tonkatsu!


And I had Taiyaki for dessert.

This is a Japanese traditional desert in a shape of Tai (red snapper).

I bought one in traditional style and one in modern style, croissant taiyaki.

Both are delicious with a lots of sweet bean filling!


After lunch, we went to 100 yen shop Can Do (a dollar shop).

This is our routine because there isn’t any 100 yen shop in my area to shop consumable products cheap.

And the shop has many innovative products that I ended up buying MANY products.

A beauty part of 100 yen shop is I don’t feel guilty about it.

Visiting Toy Park Hakuhindo@Ginza

Posted on by sonokotchi

This place must is a dreamland for kids and even for adults. 


My friend from the US asked me to get Pokémon Cards for her sons.  

But there are too many series and different kinds: the Moon and the Sun, the starter kits, energy kit…

I was totally lost.


I don’t have any knowledge on toys, but I like to walk into this shop to find new ones.

I would love to go back there.

Who hates toys?

TOTAL FOODS @ Roppongi Hills

Posted on by sonokotchi


This restaurant is produced and operated by a group of exclusive gym: Total Workout.

I was interested their food, but food doesn’t look appealing from the street.

Nonetheless, I thought I should try it because I want to lose weight.

Yes, I know if I keep eating what I’ve been posting, it’s difficult to lose; but I’m serious.

I want to lose weight!

Well, the dining place is cold during winter (even though, it’s located inside of Building on B1 (Basement 1)) because the restaurant installed open-concept; there aren’t any walls.

I’m glad to know that all food can be taken out.

We decided to take out and eat at home.


Mummmmm. 

Food is all healthy and well balanced.
Food is actually good, very delicious.

When I’m lazy to cook, I might take out food from here. 

Surprisingly, DELICIOUS!
