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

Do Whatever I can Do Today

I discovered a nice standing sushi restaurant at Tokyo Station: Hakodate Tachiguizushi Kantaro.

Seafoods are so fresh and harmony of rice is just right.

This restaurant is highly recommended.

Then I went to continue furniture hunting – bed.

I went to Dream Bed at Shibuya and I found a bed… fufufu

I was excited that I found a bed…next I need to relax…

Nowadays, I type crazily.

Yes, massage would be nice.

I had 30 mins foot massage and 30 mins shiatsu (body massage).

Massager, she is good.

The place is clean; massage is nice; I’m happy.

I also highly recommend this massage salon: Ginza Ashian, Roppongi.

Yes, the name of massage salon is GINZA Ashian, though it’s located in Roppongi.

The first salon is opened in Ginza; therefore, named Ginza Ashian.

I feel good and relaxed.

Enzyme Facial Mask

I tried Koso Pack (Enzyme Facial Mask) at May’s Garden Spa last week.

Spa gave me a trial Enzyme Facial Mask for me to do by myself a week later which is today.

I mixed cream and powder.

And applied paste for 15 minutes.

I have sensitive skin so usually I get a trouble after using self treatment facial mask.

However, this one is different.

My skin is fine with this facial mask and I think my skin is whiter, clearer and smoother.

I’m considering buying it next time I visit the spa.

Patissier Toshi Yoroizuka

I went to Japanese famous Patissier Toshi Yoroizuka at Midtown Roppongi to get few cakes.

Though, he is famous and popular; I tried his cake for first time today because his shop is always crowded.

I bought seasonal Relais Sakura (Sakura Roll Cake) and Choux Paysanne (Nuts Choux).

I enjoyed them with my friend over 7 hours chatting.

We had to catch up for a year.

Gong Xi Fa Cai

Happy New Chinese Year!

I’m not Chinese, but it’s Chinese New Year.

I want to do something Chinese today.

Therefore, I watched a movie, Man Hunt, which is collaborated between Japanese and Chinese and directed by Chinese Director, Mr. John Woo.

I watched the movie with subtitle because Chinese actors and actresses speak in Chinese.

It was 7:15 pm show so I changed cinema mileage (yes, we can cumulate mileage by watching movies) to a free drink and popcorn.

After the movie, I went out for Chinese dinner at my favorite Chinese restaurant, Tsim Sha Tsui, Roppongi.

It was late, but the owner is very kind allowing us in.

We wished her Gong Xi Fa Cai, then she gave us a dessert!

How sweet of her!

This is her way of giving me a sweet Ang pie (good luck red envelope)!

Thank you and….

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Curtain

I went to a showroom to check curtain with Mom.

I spent about 3.5 hours, but I need to visit other showrooms to compare.

My coordinator gave me a directory for all types of interiors: furnitures, lightings and curtains.

This directory is helpful to plan my visits🎶
