The great burger

2012-02-12T09:50:00.002+09:00

I went to a hamburger place called The Great Burger.ヾ(@⌒￢⌒@)ノ

It's a small restaurant, with a very good homey atmosphere.

They have many kind of hamburgers and sandwiches.

I ordered a Mushroom mozzarella burger.

I enjoyed a juicy patty and fresh vegetables.

My favourite Cherry Coke! Yum!

The hamburger that I ordered costs 1350 yen.

I think it's worth a try! :)

Ate out at a Yakitori restaurant

2012-02-05T09:28:00.000+09:00

I went to a yakitori restaurant called Tori-GIn last night.

What's yakitori?

Yakitori is a char-broiled chicken,I think it's sort of like shish kebab.

It's one of my favourite Japanese cuisine.

I had beer and oolong-hi.

They look delicious, don't they?

I had delicious yakitori and Kama-meshi.

Kama-meshi is a popular rice dish

adding seasonal ingredients such as mushrooms,

crab, and vegetables to the rice cook in a small iron pot.

I drank too much!

That was a delicious meal!

Green tea

2012-02-01T11:02:00.000+09:00

I'm on a green tea kick nowadays.

I drink more than 3 cups of green tea every day.

You know, it's high in vitamin.

It makes my skin look shinier!

Actually I was a kind of coffee person.

When I had a really bad cold, a friend of mine who is a teashop owner told me

green tea has a lot of vitamin and tea catechin. So, it works for a cold.

That's why I started to drink green tea.

By the way, my American friend said that
green tea with mint and plenty of sugar is popular. Have you ever tried it ?
I've never tasted it but I think it's not my cup of tea! ;)

Happy New Year!

a chiropractic treatment

2011-11-30T11:05:00.003+09:00

I got a chiropractic treatment a few days ago.

It was my first time to saw a chiropractor.

Since I got surgeries to get and remove dental implants I had to refrain from strenuous exercise.

So I have stopped going to gym for 2 months.

Possibly due to this, my neck muscles were very tense, my lumbar muscles went very tight, I couldn't even bend forward because of a back pain.

The treatment was strange for me.

I've gotten a massage many times.

I thought "chiropractic" was same or similar to "massage" , but I was wrong!

The chiropractor clicking my bones!!

It doesn't hurt but it was frightening!!

Anyway, it worked very well!!

Wowie!! It made the pain go away!

whee♪ ヾ(*⌒∇⌒)八(⌒∇⌒*)ツ whee♪

DESIGN FESTA VOL.34

2011-11-16T11:55:00.000+09:00

I joined an event called "DESIGN FESTA vol.34".

It's the largest art event held in Asia, and more than 60,000 visitors over two days.

This picture doesn't do me justice. So I put a ♥on my face. ;)

Two boys who have all the appearances of "Visual-kei" or "Punk rocker"

visited us and said,

"We're big fan of Vanityjam."

Wow! I was so surprised!!

And they said,

"We have been checking Vanityjam's website and you-tube channel."

They made my day!

whee♪ ヾ(*⌒∇⌒)八(⌒∇⌒*)ツ whee♪　

But I totally blew it!! I forgot to take their pic,,, sigh,,,

There were galaxy of fashionable people,

brill creators, designers, performers, musicians,,,

I got inspiration from looking at the works of other participants.

A freak accident

2011-11-02T11:25:00.001+09:00

I got a surgery to get dental implants last month.

A few days later, I had a meeting with several people.

One of them had a cold. (I think he has a poor hygiene. He catches a cold easily.)

He showed really poor judgement! He knew he was sick but he met with me anyway.

He had a bad cough, and he spread the germs. (He is such a buttfucker!!)

The cold virus infected my wound!!

My teeth and gums were throbbing! My left cheek was really swollen like a balloon.

I ended up got a surgery to wash and remove the implants!!

Now, I'm getting better.

But I have to get the surgery to get new implants again after six month.

I wish he hadn't shown up!!

Happy Halloween!

Rain boots

2011-06-06T17:19:00.000+09:00

It's way tooooooooooo hot everyday!!

You know,Japan has a sticky rainy season from June to the middle of July.

I can't stand that muggy Japanese summer!

The only thing to look forward to is that I can wear rain boots!

Every year many shoe manufacturers release new designs of rain boots.

Actually they look fashionable,cool and don't look like rain boots.

They're too good for wear rainy days.

Long time no talk!!

2011-06-05T20:21:00.004+09:00

It's been a while since I last updated the blog!!

But I've risen phoenix-like from the ashes! Ha-ha!! :)

I think I'll actively work on the blog. :)

Thanks for cheer us up!

2011-03-13T13:53:00.001+09:00

On the day,I was in Shibuya to had regular meeting with one of my customers.

In the afternoon,I went into the bathroom to freshen up.

When I was about to leave the bathroom, I noticed that the door was slightly clacking.

I thought it was because of the construction vibration.

But it was NOT!!

The vibration was gradually getting bigger,,, it off my feet. I crouched on the floor.

I automatically just felt something different from simple earthquake.

It developed a crack in the wall in front of me. It was TERRIFYING!!!

When I got into the office room,I found the room got messed up!

Almost all racks and shelves got fell over . One of rack blocked the door to the exit.

We hauled it away and moved away from the building.

There were a lot of people staring anxiously the building.

After a while, we decided to go home.

But we got full suspension of the train service.

I walked from Shibuya to Jiyugaoka in the pedlock.

Every convenience stores and supermarkets were crowded.And there was no food product and bottles of water.

The telephone lines went dead,and cell-phone service was interrupted, only we could use was the internet.

I was encouraged by Twitter message and got a lot of information from it.( Some of them are bogus information though.)

Anyway,I and my family are safe. Thanks for cheer us up!

And feel sorry for the people that were killed and injured,,

May their soul rest in peace.

It's a kind of exhibition in which the amusement machine industries introduce the latest arcade video games and prizes for crane machines.

They enjoyed the high-tech arcade video games.

Japanese like to have kawaii things!

2011-02-09T12:17:00.002+09:00

Somehow Japanese like to have kawaii(cute) character things.

On the street you will be able to see many eccentric ,individual,creativity people with some character goods.

In fact, I've been keeping a stuffed toy as a cell-phone charm. ;)

I think it's kind of blue blanket for them.

It was the first time for me to have gel nails.

It's a kinda artificial nails made from acrylic material.

It cured under ultraviolet lights.

Gel nails often look more natural and glossy than other types of cosmetic nails,

and make your fingers look longer and more slender.

In recent years gel nails have become increasingly popular in Japan.

This time I got black and white french nails and cross patterns.

Looky,looky!! The cute girls!! :D

They were wearing super cute outfit!!

They're called "Jim-bei" .

They look like "Kimono" or "Yukata" but a little bit different from them.

What's the difference between "Kimono" and "Jin-bei?"

"Jin-bei" is a kinda suit.

So it's a separates.

They're loosely-fitted , don't have any annoying "obi" or something,use a breathing cloth.

So they're perfect for Japanese muggy summer.

Recently a variety of patterns of Jin-bei are sold at many shops.

I went to a game arcade last Saturday.

It was fun!

There were a lot of fun games!

I think the most popular are crane machines.

Crane machines in Japan are AMAZING!!

You can get stuffed toys,cushions,key chains,,, even goldfish!! Wow!!

Almost all stuffs are limited product.

So,you can only get hold of them from the machines.

Now these "The World of GOLDEN EGGS" 's characters are popular with both children and grown-ups.

Japanese fashion magazines

2010-07-20T16:49:00.002+09:00

In recent years, many magazines add eco-bag as a free gift in Japan.

Due to slow sales in the publish industry,it's one of the effort to insure customer satisfaction.

But is it really necessary thing for it?

Coz,ya know,I buy many kinda fashion magazines to obtain information from either internal or external sources.

I think I get 10 or fewer Japanese magazines a month.

So, which means that I can get a number of eco-bags a month.

Initially,I was exciting for the premium.

But now,I'm fed up with that.

I don't need eco-bags anymore.

So it's not ecologically friendly product any more.

I think the most important thing is to improving the information content for magazines.

They've been neglecting it.

I think they're sort of lost,,

The premiums get more gorgeous and gorgeous,but on the contrary,the magazines get thinner and thinner... sigh.. :(

Yukata

2010-07-14T15:58:00.003+09:00

Now that the rainy season is drawing to a close,

I'm in the mood for love,,

NO!! Just kidding!! ;p

I'm in the mood for getting a new Yukata (a traditional Japanese summer garment.)

Ya know,Yukata are one of the seasonal charms of summer in Japan.

Recently modern Yukata designs have been popular among young women.

It's cheaper and easier than Kimono when you wanna enjoy Japanese style.

We can find a variety of patterns of Yukata from various clothes shops.

Every summer,almost all magazines feature the Yukata trend.

Hmm,what Yukata shall I wear this summer,, ;)

A Big Poo-poo!!!!!

2010-07-10T21:53:00.003+09:00

Looky,looky!! There's a big poo-poo in the sky!!!

Just kidding!!

It's one of famous tourists' favourite places called

"Super Dry Hall" in Asakusa.

The Golden rectangle building on the left is the

headquarters of Asahi Breweise ,Ltd.

It's a metaphor for a glass of beer with head.

The odd-poo-poo-shaped object is a metaphor for

golden flame called " Flamme d'or."

They were designed by Philippe Starck.

There're many restaurants and cafes inside of the building.

You can enjoy nice coooooold local brew beer that is arrived

direct from Asahi's beer factory.

Hooray!!!!

That cold beer is just the thing on a hot day!!

It has red and white stripes on the outside wall.

And a pointed roof with cute eyes.

Can you see a doll on the roof?

It's called Makoto-chan.

It's a main character of his Manga.

I've never seen such stripy house. I'm LOVING it!!

You gotta love vending machines!

2010-04-25T21:53:00.002+09:00

I think Japan is kinda shopper's paradise.

Coz ya know,there're grocery stores every street corner (somehow we call it conveni コンビニ.)

You can find vending machines everywhere.

They're fabulous!!

You can buy a can of drink,can of beer, cigarette,ice cream,

Kleenex Lotion Tissues

2010-03-13T08:32:00.001+09:00

The hay fever season has started again this year!!! Oh,my!!
I think I 'm allergic to pollen of hinoki-cypress.
So, my body doesn't accept hi-quality materials!! Ha-ha,,

I can't stop sneezing!!! "Achoo!"
My eyes feel itchy!! (TωT)ｳﾙｳﾙ

You'll be able to enjoy the richly flavoured of the strawberry.
Hmm,yummy!ヾ(@⌒￢⌒@)ノ

Tamagoyaki Sweets

2010-01-24T22:05:00.001+09:00

They're produced by MR.Terry Ito　（テリー　伊藤.）

"Tamagoyaki-Sweets" is a kinda Swiss roll that is rolls whipped cream
into sponge cake and wrapped with crepe,
custard pudding is in the middle.
It looks like a "Tamagoyaki," doesn't it?

"Tamago Capsule" is a kinda meringue.
Some mousse with blueberry and raspberry jam is
in the capsule and meringue is in the cap.
You spoon them together and taste it.
It's extremely fluffy and makes a good combination
with the sweet-and-sour berry jam.

It's soooooo good!!
I really like it very much!ヾ(@⌒￢⌒@)ノ

You can buy them at Tsukiji Outside Market.
You know, Mr.Terry Ito's brother is running a Tamagoyaki-Shop

I bought some donuts at "Hara-Donuts" for afternoon snack.
It's a kinda special donut.
What's special about it?
It's made from "okara" and fried with additives free oil.
And also it cuts down on the sweetness.

It sounds healthy,doesn't it?
So, that's why Hara-Donuts has been popular among young women recently.

I had plain one,cinnamon one,and chocolate-covered one.

The taste....
Hmm...　
To be honest, I don't like it very much,,
It's sooooooo bland!! (´〜`；)

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T22:06:00.002+09:00

Happy New Year!!
I wish you all the luck in the world.

2009-12-14T22:30:00.003+09:00

I went to Shimo-Kita-Zawa to go shopping.
This area is one of my favourite places to go shopping.
There're tons of interesting second hand clothing stores,antique shops,
cafes,restaurants...
When I was hung around the town,I found some cute sign boards.
It seems for the sign for the member store of the shopping street
or something.
It's very cute and unique,isn't it?
　♪~♪ (*⌒▽⌒*)♪~♪

Shiroi-Tai-yaki

2009-10-31T23:27:00.002+09:00

I got some "Tai-yaki" today.
It is something special.
What special about it?
You see,it's white!
It has chewy texture.
Usually "tai-yaki" is made of wheat flour,you know.
But it's made of tapioka flour.
So that's why it's white and chewy.
And it's something unique inside of it.
Usually "taiyaki" is stuffed with sweet bean jam,you know.
But it's stuffed with custard cream,chocolate cream,strawberry and whipped cream...
Ummm, it's interesting...

I wanted to try chocolate cream but it was already sold out.
So I tried sweet bean jam,caramel cream and sesame paste.
The caramel one is pretty good!
Actually it looks "Taiyaki" but it taste like new sweets or something .

It's crisp on the outside and creamy in the middle.

I think it makes delicious counterpart to coffee or milk.
You should try it!

This festival with 300 years of tradition.

It's a kinda event people pray for good health,protection from evil,and good luck for the year.

There were a lot of food stalls and vendors.

There were crowded with many people.

Anne Nam

2009-09-08T00:06:00.002+09:00

I went to a Vietnamese restaurant called "Anne Nam"
for dinner with my friend.
We had some spring rolls,grilled chicken satay,
stir-fried seafood and chicken pho.
I tried a Vietnamese beer. It was good.
It's not so bitter,it tastes mild and light,making it easy to drink.

We enjoyed chatting over drinks and food.
We had a really good time.
While we were talking, we found out we go to the same gym.Wow!!
I usually wear no makeup when I'm working out.
So he might see me without makeup.Hi,hi...

2009-08-31T22:58:00.001+09:00

I went to a cafe called "Islands cafe" for lunch today.
They serve Hawaiian dishes such as locomoco,poki and coconuts curry.
I ordered octopus poki.
It's a kinda rice bawl dish,
marinade octopus,lettuce,seaweed and avocado are on it.
It's healthy and yummy!!
My hubby ordered a combination meal.
It includes grilled spam,chorizo,fried egg, macaroni salad and rice.
It costs only ¥840 !! Wow!

Every Friday night you can enjoy ukulele live show.
Mmm..... I'm itching to go to Hawaii!!!!!

The bread from Asahiyama Zoo.

2009-08-30T01:07:00.002+09:00

I got an "Asahiyama Zoo bread 旭山動物園のパン."

It's sooooooo cuuuuuute,isn't it?

It has a cute design with a lesser panda motif, and chocolate cream is inside of it.

The soft moist bread makes it a delicious counterpart to milk,coffee,tea...whatever you want!

BTW, where is Asahiyama zoo 旭山動物園??

2009-08-22T23:40:00.002+09:00

I went to a fireworks show at Tama river.
As I mentioned before,this fireworks show is the biggest annual event
in Setagaya and Kawasaki district.
There were 6000 fireworks from Setagaya,
and another 6000 fireworks from Kawasaki.
There were tons of people enjoying a grand display of fireworks.
We brought some beer and snacks.
It was great to drink beer while we enjoyed it with the evening breeze.
I had a hell of a good time!

Oh my gosh!
I had too much to drink and eat.
I need to workout hard tomorrow!!

A kung-fu lesson.

2009-08-15T01:05:00.004+09:00

I took a kung-fu lesson today.
I usually work out at a gym in weekends but during

obon they have some special programs.
I t was my first time to do it.
It was very fun !!!
First,I learned fend off the attack ,

give him a punch, ho!
Fend off another blow,

give him an elbow smash,ho!
Then give him an uppercut

and punch him in the groin.... Ho!
I did them in the same motion.
I did it badly at first, but I got used to it soon.

I feel like being Jet Li !! Wow!

Don't get on my bad side!
I'll deliver a shattering blow to you!! Hi,hi,hi...

I damaged my hubby's car.

2009-08-10T23:42:00.003+09:00

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!!!!
I damaged my hubby's car!
When I was about to turn a sharp street corner on the narrow street,
I didn't notice that there was a board at the corner.
I scratched the car on the board. Damn it!!
It's not a kinda small nick the paint on it.
It looks like someone scraped off the paint with a blade or something.
Its black body got a big ugly white blemish...
He customized its front fender.So it's a little bit bigger than usual one.
And it's not made of metal, so it irreparableness.
Oh my God!!
He'll kill me!!!

Aderia60

2009-07-27T23:56:00.002+09:00

This is my favourite dessert bowl.
It 's produced by 石塚硝子's "Aderia60" brand.
石塚硝子 has made glass tableware under the Aderia60 brand since 1962.
So,their product designs are unchanged since old times.

I eat ice cream,mitu-mame,fruits,yogurt.... with this bowl.
I like their nostalgic design.
It recalls a coffee house in the good old Showa Era.
Don't you think so?

Magic Spice

2009-07-19T21:39:00.003+09:00

Summer has come!!
It's soooooooooo hot everyday,isn't it?
Why don't we go to get a spiced curry on a hot day like this?
I had lunch at "Magic Spice" today.
This is a popular curry restaurant at Shimo-Kitazawa.
'Cos their curry is a lille bit unique.
They serve "soup curry."
It's different from Indian curry or Western-style curry.
It's a kinda Japanese-style curry that started a boom in Sapporo.
Then it goes all over Japan.

They have a variety of soup curries.
You can choose your favourite combination from many kinds of
toppings and seven levels of hotness.
I ordered seafood soup curry with 涅槃.
If you like hot food,you can get an extra spicy kick from the toppings.

The restaurant is always full and there is often a long line of people
outside the restaurant waiting to be seated.

I'm addicted to it! ヾ(@⌒￢⌒@)ノ

http://www.magicspice.net/index.html

Today's lunch.

2009-07-03T22:20:00.002+09:00

Where did you go for lunch today?

I had lunch at Tokyo University.

'Cos every Friday I have a business meeting about there.

So I sometimes go to the school cafeteria for lunch.

The cafeteria is clean and inexpensive what's more they serve good dishes.

Can you believe the rice omelet with demiglace sauce and soup for 480yen.

I had the combination meal you see in the 2nd pic above.

It included tofu with bangbang chicken,shrimp with chili sauce,

fried chicken,boiled spinach,rice and soup for only 500 yen.

You can choose your rice from white rice,brown rice,or mixed grain rice.

They have salad bar,many kinds of noodles and rice ball dishes.

Of course they have variety of dessert.

You can enjoy caramel pudding,cheese cake,fruit jelly for 100〜150 yen each.

Hooray!! ヾ(@⌒￢⌒@)ノ

Shiso-Cola

2009-07-01T00:03:00.002+09:00

Do you like perilla(しそ)?
I like to add it in 素麺, or other dishes as a spice.
Apparently it's a kinda bactericidal food.
So it's very effective in preventing food poisoning.

I found it at a supermarket near my house.
Hmm.... Shiso-Cola....
Pepsi made the perilla flavored cola.
What a fresh idea!!

I took a suck at the cola...
Yuck!!!!!!!　
I don't want any more.
It doesn't taste good! It's terrible! (>_<;)

The Tanabata Festival

2009-06-27T17:54:00.005+09:00

I was at Shibuya yesterday morning.

I found some people were decorating for the Tanabata Star Festival.

The Tanabata Star Festival is a kind of event which is said to be a combination of Chinese tradition with beliefs peculiar to Japan.

July 7th is the day of Tanabata in Japan.

On the day,we write our wishes on colouful stripes of paper and hang them on bamboo branches.

I don't remember the detail of the legend about the festival.

As I recall,it's based on a legend about a couple separated by the Milky way....

Anyway I'm gonna write tons of wishes on stripes of paper and hang them on somewhere. Haha...

3th day ??

2009-06-17T00:25:00.004+09:00

Hmm,on the thirth Thursday...
It sounds like a tongue twister or something,huh?

I love Chips.☆

2009-06-13T15:18:00.005+09:00

Do you like potato chips?

I'm loving it!

It makes a good combination with soda,cola,beer...

Usually it's high in calories,but mine is an exception.

'Cos I make it by myself with a special kit without oil.

I've been using the kit for 1 year.

The kit is bloody nice!!

You can make potato chips as long as you have microwave.

You can enjoy health,non-fatty snacks.☆

Fuwa-fuwa-cake

2009-06-13T00:51:00.003+09:00

Do you recognize what I'm holding in the first pic above?
It's not an egg.
It's a kind of cake.
This is called "Fuwa-Fuwa-Cake."
It's marshmallows in oval shape,and yellow bean paste is inside of it.
The yellow makes beautiful contrast with the white marshmallow.
It looks like a real egg,doesn't it?
The rich taste of this cake makes it a
delicious counterpart to coffee,tea, green tea,milk...
whatever you want!
So it's perfect for your afternoon tea time.
I'm getting addicted to it!

Okamoto-Minka-En. 岡本民家園

2009-06-10T22:35:00.008+09:00

I went to "Okamoto-Minka-En"（岡本民家園）
It's a kinda park that made use of natural woods.
There's an old traditional Japanese farmer's house with thatched roof.
It was built at the end of the Edo period.
So,it's really really old.
You can come into the great house from the earth floor （土間）.
You can relax over a cup of tea at the fireplace（囲炉裏）.
You'll be able to see some old gadgets and agricultural implements.

It makes you forget the chaos of the city.

The brand-named pylons.

2009-06-09T20:58:00.003+09:00

When I was walking in Shibuya,
I found a lane that I've never passed through.
I turned off into the lane.
This area is a kind of an exclusive residential district.
There're many mansions.
(I mean,not Japanese マンション,I mean 豪邸.)
I found an especially luxurious mansion
that was decorated with white and gold.
There were some special pylons in front of the mansion.
What's special about it?
The pylons have CHANEL logotype.
WOW!!

Taj Mahal

2009-06-06T22:24:00.002+09:00

It's getting hotter and hotter.
On a hot day like this Indian curry sure hits the spot.

This is my favourite Indian curry restaurant called "Taj Mahal."

They have some set lunch menus.
I always order B-lunch.
It's the most popular set menu at the place.
You can have 2 kinds of curries,tandoori chicken,salad,
naan bread or rice,and coffee or lassi for 980 yen.
You can enjoy authentic Indian food at a reasonable price.

I always have seafood curry and vegetable curry with naan bread.
They serve enormous naan bread.
You'll be able to full up to the throat.

You can enjoy Indian music and movies on the big video screen.

Akihabara

2009-06-05T20:24:00.003+09:00

Have you ever been to Akihabara?
It 's also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Akihabara Denki Gai).
It's an area around Akihabara Station,
part of Chiyoda-ku and Taitho-ku.
It's nicknamed "Akiba".
There are hundreds of shops that sell electrical appliances,
computer equipments and anime goods.
There are still tons of Maid cafes.
It has become almost a sacred place
for people who are called "Otaku" or "Nerd".
It is now a world famous tourist attraction.

Today I saw lots of maids and a Gokuu.
Gokuu?
Yep, you'll find many cosplayers.
So, there're tons of shops that sell costumes for cosplay.
You can enjoy seeing them while you're shopping!

Oh, I almost forgot!
If you're a smoker,be careful!!
You need to find a smoking place.
'Cos in 2002, Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward introduced fines
on smoking in the street.

Samourai-no-pudding 　侍のプリン

2009-06-03T23:23:00.000+09:00

Do you like custard pudding?
I'm loving it!!
This is my favourite custard pudding called Samourai-no-pudding.
（侍のプリン）

Samourai-no-pudding would have been a good name for it.
'Cos it's very rich but not greasy.
The moderate sweetness of this pudding is satisfactory
in both taste and amount.
Even men will like this slightly bitter caramel-filled pudding.

It features carefully selected ingredients gathered from Hokkaido.

I'm becoming ingrained as a habit!!ヾ(@⌒￢⌒@)ノ
