Buche de Noel from Mariage Freres
My family and I had a Christmas cake, Buche de Noel from Mariage Freres at Matsuya-Ginza department store. It is their limited special cake for Christmas.
It looks very gorgeous, and it is glittered in colorful berries. And, its
original flavored tea, Esprit de Noel is used in the cream.
The cake had very rich taste with fragrant berries and the special tea. Also, a pack of the Esprit de Noel tea leaves comes with the cake.

LIKE LIKE KITCHEN
I went with my friend to LIKE LIKE KITCHEN in Tomigaya.
It’s a cute shop that’s like a European cafe.
There are not a lot of dishes on the menu, but each one is the storekeeper’s original and carefully made dish.
The stuffed cabbage was especially good.
There’s a nice short movie of this shop on electrolux company’s website.
Please take a look.

2011 Formula 1 in Suzuka 2
We were very impressed the powerful performance with the real engine sounds.
Fortunately, we had met some drivers in the morning when they were going to go to the circuit from the hotel where they had stayed.
I’ve attached the better photos of ‘Jarno Trulli’ on his bike and ‘Fernando Alonso’.
