Glass photos

The other day just before rainy season,I went out to Ebisu for some drinks.This is one of Shibuya towns,next to Daikan-yama(I showed there last time).
There are much of young and stylish people compare to Yurakucho or Shimbashi I often go.Later is popular for middle aged people.
Company types and people differ depending on towns,I like to go different places and watch people there.
I didn't see many travelers in Ebisu though there are many foreign people who don't have cameras or rucksacks,so I thought they seem to live here.
There are many embassies around there,and different kinds of international restaurants.It's fun for me but travelers are not interested in it,I think.
I also don't eat Korean food in Europe although I try to eat Japanese food in other countries:P 

First of all,driking at an international delicatessen bar in Ebisu Garden Place.
Here:GRANO DELICATESSEN BAR
I tried couscous,something like rice in Greece at first time.....I don't remember detail....

My friend reserved a table around 10pm,and we started to drink just after finished work.
Walk around the town,and then had a light dinner in small bistro,named Bistro in Paris.What a simple name.And also the taste was simple and good.
I'm often confused about difficult and unknown dish name in French style restauant.I don't know it well even though they are written by Japanese.
But the cassoulet was great:)))I was already enoght to eat.


I saw nice view from terrace at last Mexican restaurant.I'm into Mexican food recently,I enjoyed tortilla and tequila.

Unlucky it was cold to stay outside longer.So we changed to downstairs bar and had hot wine at last.
Any way,it's not easy to take pictures at night and with getting a little drunk.



See you until next time:)

A small town in Shibuya

Recently I spend weekends in west area of Tokyo.I'm less familiar with there before because my living and working places are east.
I've been living the same place for about 4 years and I want to look around different places.
But there are lots of people in the famous Shibuya and Shinjuku ,I don't like crowds and also young people make noise in bars.
So I've been going to more calm and adlut area.
But actually I didn't like there very much in teenager,there are noothing I could buy or want,I could not pay around tens of thousands of yen for only a shirt at that time:/
Well,it's the same as now:P
Actually I go this area to find interesting books and eat good food:)I love book store,I really often go to Maruzen in Marunouchi.If I can't find books I need in Maruzen,there is nowhere else for me to want.But that day was sunny Sunday and I wanted to have lunch in nice restaurant after book store.There are many cafes and restaurants with terrace:)I love it even though I hate sunburn-_-


Any way,I enjoy just to walk around this town,Daikan-yama.It's one of towns in Shibuya.


Walk in few mintes from Daikan-yama station,there are 3 white buildings,they are book stores.
Detail is here:Tsutaya shoten



There are a lot of T of Tsutaya on walls.I love simple and funny design like this.
I looked for guide books for this summer trip,but some women thought the same as me,they were already in front of Europe book shelf.So I gave up book,and went to restaurant for lunch at first.Unfortunately,it was already late.I had to wait over 60 minutes>_<  Although I usually don't wait over 20 minutes,I told my number because I thought I could stay in book store!And also there are sofas outside,everyone looked relaxed.




Reading books and talking outside and having a nice lunch and then eating gelato at last.That was perfect Sunday:)

It beginning rainy season in Tokyo from today,I miss the terrace sofa already.
I'm going to hiking to Kamikochi in this weekend.I hope it doesn't rain for that only 2 days.

See you soon.

Poor Wi-fi country,Japan+trip to Korea

I'm writing this in Starbucks,Ginza.I cut my hair for the first in 2 months today and feel so good.
I don't like common hairdresser who talk to me too much,but I found nice quiet person.
Any way,why am I in Starbucks because I can get free wi-fi here.Some people may think it take for granted,but there is a few places to get it for free in Japan.
Of course,McDonald's is okay though I don't wanna go there everytime I want to use my laptop because I can't stop to buy french fries all the time.
Cheap foods make people unhealthy...but sometimes have a sudden urge for them,,i don't know why:/

I've heard it's easy to find free wi-fi in Korea.So when I traveled there,I brought only my cell-phone,,,but that was the beginning of a tragedy.

I had to meet a friend fron Japan in Seoul,and all I know was only her LINE account.
I promised to meet her at a hotel,but another friend and I fell asleep when she supposed to be there.But she seemed not to be coming yet.
If both she and I could use internet at that time,we would be able to meet up sooner.
But we couldn't connect to LINE and didn't know phone number to each other somewhere we were not familiar with.
So we left the hotel and waited her in cold frosty (it was winter) bus stop from an airport.It was around 0:00 at night,many people seemed to get drunk and said something in a loud voice.I was a little sacared because I had no idea what they said.About an hour later,my friend came to us by subway without any problems.



Next time when I will go abroad,I should bring wifi router...
I always lost my way,it will help me;)

Tomorrow is Friday!I'm going to have mexcican dinner;)))))

See you soon>_<

Meal MUJI

It's been a while again-_-
I had lots of things last month,something good,something bad..There was a short vacation in beginning of this month,but I didn't go anywhere for almost a week.I mean,I had not left from Tokyo.Recently I'm tired of around my place.I live in east of Tokyo,it's old and quiet area.And in west area,there are many kinds of restaurants,bars and shops.So I wanted  to show you about it soon(probably...)

Today I write about Meal MUJI.I know there are MUJI shops abroad,but are they sell  only products?Any way,it's okay Meal MUJI has tastes.I thought the food was not good because MUJI is simple bland.But meal I choose was nice and I could choose from many kinds of food.




It was fun to choose from showcase.There were Japanese dish,Italian,French(only quiche) and ethnic foods:)))Children in front of me looked excited:)I know the feelings.Even though I already decided my menu:p



This fried chicken with chili sauce was very good.Also I liked this dessert,hoji-cha pudding.Hoji-cha is roasted tea and it's bitter than green tea.I've eaten this pudding before in Japanese style bar.It's good to eat after dinner.Normal pudding is heavy a little bit.But it's good to eat it around 3pm:)

MUJI shop I went was:

See you soon:)))))
