16 November 2018

Posted on by sonokotchi

It’s been a while – two weeks? – since I posted last blog.

I’ve been physically and mentally tired because I cannot get a proper break.

I am demotivated because after completing all projects I thought I can get a break; but my boss didn’t approve my leave because he plans to take leave.

Yes, I’m very frustrated.

I should think of good time so I decide to post old dates.

On 16 November 2018, I planned a mariage styled dinner at French Restaurant IIZAKA, Yotsuya 3-chome.

Chef Iizaka served for few Ambassadors as their residence Chef.

The couple closed the restaurant just for five of us because if there were others, timing of food would be different from tables and they want to serve food at the best condition.

All dishes were like art.

Sommelier (wife) selected nice wine to match these delicate food.

I had my first Beaujolais of the year which was released on 15 November 2018.

Both my stomach and heart were satisfied with nice food & wine and their hospitality.

This is the restaurant that I surely want to return.

Nice Dinner & Nice Walk

Posted on by sonokotchi

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….

Busy Scheduled Saturday

Posted on by sonokotchi

First I went to spa to maintenance myself.

I also sent Choco to grooming so Choco also maintenance himself.

We both beautify ourselves.

I can continue beautify myself by getting quality sleep.

I finally receive my bed: Serra New York 552 from Dream Bed.

Japanese manufacturer is licensed to produce Serra Brand bed in Hiroshima, Japan.

It took 50 days to receive it.

How do I like it? Very Much!

Friday Off for Settling Personal Matter

Posted on by sonokotchi

I’ve been busy with work so I’ve been neglected my personal matter such as moving.

My body couldn’t take it (though a flower arrangement class healed me last night) so I requested to take a day off.

I also need time to pack my stuffs to clear my apartment.

I’ve been staying at my parent’s condo since May so I realized I’ve been wasting to pay a rent.

It’s time to move out.

Japanese Version of SUITS

Posted on by sonokotchi

I watched Japanese version of Suits today.

It’s showing on every Monday at 9 pm at Fuji Television channel.

The story and characters have been modified for Japan.

Tonight, I learned from LINE NEWS that Japanese version of an American drama, the Good Wife, will be showing next January 2019.

What’s happened to pure J-Pop drama?

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!
