I assisted photo shootings of product, superfood Granola, at Tokyo Gas Shiodome Cooking Studio, Shiodome, Tokyo.

We moved to Prince Hotel Karuizawa for the meeting with the Chief Chef of the area hotel to recommend serving Superfood Granola for the hotel breakfast.

The hotel, Prince Hotel Karuizawa, will host G20 summit in 2019.

This would be a great opportunity to introduce the product globally.

We had our lunch on the Shinkansen (bullet train) on the way to Karuizawa, Gunma.

Many foreign tourists visit Karuizawa for golfing, skiing and shopping at Mitsui Outlet Karuizawa.

The Chef waited for us to serve special menu using Superfood Granola.

What a nice surprise!

These were so good.

I wish we could stay longer, perhaps, staying at the hotel for the holiday.

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.

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!

Design Day

Posted on by sonokotchi

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

Posted on by sonokotchi

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

Posted on by sonokotchi

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!
