Choco also joined tonight.

Design Day
I joined the Design Tour to be with my colleague for a day.
First, we visited Good Design Marunouchi.
Currently, 50 juries are introducing their best G-Mark winner products here.
Yes, I spotted Haku Accessories.
I can wear gold plated jewelry like a sticker.
First, cut the tape to suitable length, then remove the plastic film, place the jewelry on my skin, wet the paper so that it will stick.
We can buy some of these G-Mark winners’ product at Good Design Store Tokyo by Nohara at KITTE
We continue our trip to Ueno Station, Hard Rock Ueno Station.
Then walked AmeYoko (American Street).
I had a Kebab for lunch.
We stretched to Akihabara to visit Hobby Building, Radio-Kan (Radio House).
We returned to Roppongi to visit Design Hub.
We could get information on other G-Mark winners that is difficult to display the actual product such as urban development.
We did enough exercise for a day.
My friend wants to eat Unagi (eel) for dinner so I took her to my favorite eel shop, Shojikiya, Roppongi.
We continued our coffee, Starbucks Christmas Drink Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino, at her room.
We often communicate via emails and WhatsApp; it was nice spending time together!
Hope to see you soon again!
Last Thursday: Company Visit Day
I was hopping two projects last week.
First, I joined the visit to TV Tokyo and visited the largest studio and sub-studio (control room) there.
Next, I visited three factories in Ota City, Tokyo.
Ota City is a manufacturing city and one of the few locations in Japan that has a concentration of SMEs contributing to various Japanese manufacturing industries by their specialized skills and technologies.
Then Yamato Haneda Chronogate Logistics Terminal.
Yamato Holdings Co Ltd is one of Japan’s largest door-to-door delivery service provider (TA-Q-BIN) with market share of 41%. This new logistics facility allows to deliver shipments faster with accuracy. The facility is equipped with value added functions such as cleansing, printing, repairs and maintenance that visitors can experience Japanese latest logistics mechanisms.
After the programme, I met my colleague at her hotel room, REMM Hotel Roppongi, for chatting.
Her room is equipped with a massage chair.
I was tired so I occupied it for hours. hahaha
It’s a nice massage chair.
G-Mark & JIS Mark
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!
First Volt Box @ Megalos Hibiya
I had to release my tension which was built up in a week from work.
Treats
We couldn’t get food at proper time.
We had to skip lunch and dinner due to event.
But when we manage to have our lunch or dinner regardless the time, we treated ourselves.
Shark Fin Soup Noodle while waiting for VIP at the Tokyo Station.
Shark fin is rich in collagen.
I could come back home early so celebrated the completion of event with my colleague.
I had to have two glasses of drafted Asahi Super Dry Beer.
I’m glad that the event ended successfully.
Spoiling Day
The park that we go for a walk regularly organizes events.
This time, L’CCITANE…?
People are busily preparing for a day to start.
After the morning walk, I went to treat myself at Spa.
I need to regularly maintenance myself; especially before the big event which will start tomorrow.
After the spa, I prayed at Asahi Shrine that is local area guardian.
The Shrine brings me peace in my mind.
I had a volumy ramen lunch at Tenka Ippin Roppongi Store.
I took a cha siu (toasted pork), tamago (egg) Kotteri (thick soup) ramen.
I enjoyed every bite!
After taking a lunch, I became sleepy so I took a nap. hahaha
I was asked for dinner to the Teppanyaki Restaurant that I can bring Choco with me: Teppanyaki Yasaiya Roppongi.
The restaurant is prepared for welcoming Choco and even gave Choco a complementary jelly.
He seems to like it very much because he couldn’t control himself; he went straight to the jelly.
The restaurant can prepare dinner for Choco as well, but this time I already brought his dinner (dog food) with me.
Perhaps, next time.
Food for us/human is also nice.
I’m happy to know that there is a restaurant that we can dine inside because it’s getting cold in Tokyo.
