Aoyama Bar Bioire

I had lunch at the Spanish bar “Aoyama Bar Bioire” on Kotto Street.

The interior was cozy, with a great atmosphere.
It’s in the basement of the building, but one side is open so it feels really airy.

I had the “seasonal pasta”.

My friend ate the “prosciutto risotto”.

The dishes here are mainly Spanish style, but they have a wide variety of wines that the staff has gathered from all over the world.

If you enjoy spirits, please try the wines from different areas.

Bean snacks from ‘Mameya Bankyu’

I’ve found a very cute bean shaped box that is a container for bean snacks at Matsuya Ginza department store.
There are a lot of kinds of flavors of bean snacks and the bean shaped box with very cute designs.

And, I got 2 lovely boxes such as Panda with koma (a Japaneses traditional toy) that was the seasonal design and Maneki-neko (lucky cat).
Also, I chose the bean flavors such as Earl Grey and Italian (tomato & basil) this time.

I think the fancy box with beautiful design in Japanese style might be good as a small present.

nico donut

Recently, a cute donuts shop called ‘nico donut’ has opened in Azabu Juban.

The donuts sold here are made with ingredients such as soybean paste and grains, and all have a simple and mild taste.

I had a ‘honey kabosu’ flavor donut.

On the soft honey flavor donut, there was a slightly tart kabosu (a Japanese citrus fruit) icing and was very delicious.

Mittens from Jack Spade

I got a pair of wool mittens from Jack Spade.
Jack Spade’s first freestanding store was opened in the Jinnan area of Shibuya last October, 2011.

Jack Spade is for men, but I got them because they were very cute, and I loved the bright colors.
They are little big for my hands, but there is no problem for me!

Kumamon Cookies

Yesterday, I went on a trip to Kyushu.
There I discovered a very cute cookie.

It was a cookie based on Kumamoto’s mascot character, ‘Kumamon ‘.

There are both butter and chocolate cookies which have the shape of Kumamon .
They were very cute and I felt sorry for eating them.

neko-shock!

“I am I” cat collaborate with cross-stitch artist Makoto Oozu.
You can choose special Knit-shock ready-made watch from black or grey cats, or DIY kit!
I got a kit for trying to make my original black cat, which has green eyes and purple whiskers.

Though I’m bad at stitches, the neko (cat) was not very hard work!

I attached extra rubber bands to the watch, so it can be 2 way using.
Ordinary it is for wrist band, and it can be a charm for tote bags.
