My friend gave me beautiful and colorful Pates de Fruits, ‘Fruits Gelifier’ from Isetan.
Pates de Fruits is an European traditional confiserie, however the ‘Fruits Gelifier’ has a slightly sticky texture that is adapted to the Japanese plate.

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

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.

In commemoration of the 25th year anniversary of Doragon Quest, these blue meat buns are made in the image of ‘slime’ from Doragon Quest, and they’ve been sold from November 29th 2011 at Familymart in a limited quantity, a million slimes are sold at only Familymart.
However, the surprising blue color of buns are not colored with an artificial color. And, pork of the filling is flavored with soy sauce and oyster sauce basically. Also, onions and bamboo shoots are contained as the ingredients that make very juicy and crunchiness.
It is very hard to bite them because they keep their cute eyes open…

Another is ‘Merry Christmas’ that the rice crackers are flavored with 4 kinds of powdered sugar, sesame, salt and green algae.
Especially, the colorfully coated stars and Christmas trees make me smile,
and the tastes are also very good. I really love the Akebono rice crackers.
