I recently got stuck in Silicon series of Kitchen wears. I bought chop stick, egg maker, steamer etc,,,,,
The first time, I bought a steamer case of Petit which made from Spain. When I use it, I was surprised it which was short times cooking, the inside was so hot and keeping steam a lot. My image of silicon was plastic surgery before but it was gone. I can see a lot of color's kitchen wear in shops everywhere now bowl, spoon, dish so on . There are so attractive. Especial is the cover of cup that was a nice present for my friend.
Everybody likes is and surprise like me.

I think it could be a nice souvenier from Japan.

I went to a Swedish restaurant with my mother in celebration of her birthday : )
Though the restaurant was quite small as there were only few tables in there,I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant.They provided lovely dishes and a warm reception,and many cute goods and furnitures were displayed everywhere in the restaurant.It was so cozy as if I had stayed with a family in Sweden..!
I have already had been there few times and talked about the restaurant to my mother many times.I finally took my mother there and she looked very happy : )
Though she normally dosen't drink,we had some glass of wine with nice Swedish dishes : )
After dinner,a staff brought our table a beautiful birthday cake and we really enjoyed it!
Happy birthday,mam!

I went to Tokyo Big Sight in Odaiba to see their event "HOTERES JAPAN 2010".
Many kinds of products concerding hotels and restaurants were introduced in the exhibition.I really enjoyed seeing them and also bought some products there : )
It took quite long time to see everything and I was so tired when I went out of the hall that I didn't want to take a crowded train.At that time,I thought of a good idea.I took a ferry from Odaiba to Asakusa!
It was a beautiful sunset there and the ferry went the Sumida river slowly as it passed many bridges.
We will have the cherry blossom season next month so it must be wonderful if we take a ferry then : )

I went to "Chelsea Market" in Akihabara with my friend. It's located next to Akihabara station(2nd floor of atre vie department store). It's very convenient!!

Apparently, this restaurant is famous for fish burger but I orderd cheddar cheese burger and my friend had Avocado burger.
We sheard Chinese salad and Tiramisu. And we suprised every dish's quantity.
Chinese salad is seasoned with good dressing so I loved it very much!

We went to Seattle to study english when we were students so this kind of dish meminds us the days in America.

We spend good time more than 4 hours with good meal because the restaurant is casual and we could relaxed : )

Yuka

I went to musical of "Gekidan-shiki" and watched the Lion King.

The Lion King is produced by Disney Animation and it is one of my favorite movie.

In the theateter, there are a lot of family and I thought that children could not sit down on the seat long time.
However it was dynamic action and was not able to take its eyes off so three hours rolled on quickly and nobody got bored.
I really recommend it even if you do not know Japanese. I bet, you can feel and got impression.

This summer, "Beauty and the Beast" will be coming! I am really looking forward to see it!

I could see early cherry blossoms in Izu peninsula. It was beautiful day and The cherry blossoms was full blooming. Both of rive side has the cherry blossoms of Kawazu but the right side receive a lot of sunshine so there were many rape blossoms I could see. The contrast of strong pin and yellow were so special. I felt spring has come a lot. There were many people in there and they were eating something. Many outside stand were sailing Yakitori, fishes, sweet cakes so on. I wanted to eat Miso soup of Kinmedai but it was sold out. I was disappointed it because Kinmedai (Golden eyes snapper) is one of famous fish in Izu peninsula.
I really wanted to eat it.

There are three trees of cherry blossoms of Kawazu in Shioiri park (my neighborhoods). When I took for a walk with a dog, I could see them,too.
