PIERRE HERME miniature collection

PIERRE HERME is the French super-star patissier, his sweets are all so unique, beautiful, kawaii and shockingly delicious. Especially macaroons have many fans. His world-first boutique has been opened in Tokyo, even before Paris! Maybe he knows we Tokyo girls are crazy about anything yummy! ;9

Now those sweets are available as lovely & tiny collectible figures. So tinny, even put on your finger tip. There are eight set all together in the collection. Of course I collected all of them!

But one thing I realized while I adore them…I’ve not tasted many of his sweets yet. hmmm…

daruma bento & kamameshi bento

daruma bento

I went to Nagano on the Shinkansen last weekend. I had Ekiben(Daruma bento &
Kamameshi bento) both ways(going and coming) on the Shinkansen.
They were made with tasty riches from the mountains like bamboo shoot,
shiitake mushrooms, etc. It’s always fun to eat Ekiben on the trains.

Daruma bento comes in a Daruma dolls. Daruma dolls are hollow and round Japanese wish dolls with no arms or legs,modelled after Bodhidharma.

kamameshi

Kamameshi bento comes in a rustic earthenware pot.

Ekiben (Railway boxed meal) are a specific type of bento boxed meals, sold on
trains and train stations in Japan.

Ekiben containers can be very attractive: made from plastic, wood, or ceramic.
Many train stations have since become famous for their especially tasty ekiben,
made from local food specialties.

girls-only convinert store

Snacks, sweets, cosmetics, ZAKKA, music, accessories, cute wear & something…

The “it’s DEMO” girls-only online convenient store knows what girls really want so well!.
When you feel like getting something cheap & cute, or just want to feel nice and mellow by looking at those KAWAII stuff, you just go to “it’s DEMO” or “PLAZA STYLE”. Well, I know there are few more I adore, but can’t name them right now.

sandwich at fruit shop

There are some famous “fruit shops” in Tokyo. They specialize in fruits that are delicious and as beautiful as jewels (and expensive)!

However the Japanese have a traditional long-lasting custom that we give gifts to each other at every occasion. This is the shop we often go to buy something for those occasions.

Most of these old established fruit shops have fruit parlours upstairs where you may find many colourful and delicious menus using those fruits the shops are proud of.

I bet many people can’t resist this temptation very often. One of the most irresistible is a fruit sandwich which shows the sides of all fruits sliced thinly stacked up inside sparkling like a jewellery box. They also told me that they make this sandwich with sliced fruits and sour cream inside with lemon buttered breads. Please try one of these if you are tempted!
