Few days ago, my friend e-mailed to me ;).
She shares about Lipton tea pet bottle freebies to me!
Pierre Herme collaborate with lipton. one cute charm is attach to a bottle. 8 kinds of faux sweets (macarons, icecream cake or chocolate) are made for this campaign.
We don’t know why they collaborate! but these are so cute!!
On any given night,there is a long line of people waiting outside to get a table for Kimu Katsu
restaurant.
Their specialty is tonkatsu, deep-fried breaded pork. And their unique technique, which is to
tenderize the meat before breading it.
The meat is juicy, but not oily. And the breading comes in six different flavorings.
Kimu Katsu’s katsu is the “millefeuille” of katsu. You must tast Kimu Katsu even if you had to
wait almost 60 minutes outside in the cold.
“miel” is a baked donut shop. They sell baked donuts not using oil,additive-free and no chemical preservations. very healthy!!
It tasts like sponge cakes that would be very soft and melted in my mouth. They have Plain,Cocoa,Cinnamon,Kinako,Dainagon,Apple,Potato and Rum raisin flavors.
L’ATELIER COULEURS 36 is a cake shop which sells 36 kinds of cakes. They are shaped like sticks.
The basic items of 36 stick type cakes are cheese cakes and the seasonal flavors are also included. You can eat them without forks.
Let me talk about a Japanese restaurant/izakaya Gonpach in Nish-Azabu, Roppongi.
Well, I guess many of you may already have heard about this place as it has been quite famous already. The former Prime Minister, Mr. Koizumi took President Bush here, and it was used as a movie-set, which Uma Thurman played the action scenes of “Kill Bill”.

I’ve just been there for the first time and was surprised to see there were more foreigners than local customers. Some of their staff can speak English and the price is reasonable, it would be good place for a traveler. It seems that many business men transferred from overseas frequent here.
You can enjoy a good dinner of a la carte including yakitori, sashimi or donburi together with some sake, and it would only cost about 5,000 yen (about $50 US. ) per person.
To me as a Japanese person, the caricatured Japanese-style interior was very interesting!
It is about 10 min. walk from Roppongi subway station, located at the Nish-Azabu intersection.
“Bagel & Bagel” are Japanese Bagel cafes. Zero-cholesterol,oil-free, low-cal and reduced-fat Bagels are very heathy. I’d love to have Bagels evey lunch.
There is a nice Thai restaurant in Tokyo. The restaurant has very traditional and genuine flavors and atmosphere. There’s a tuk-tuk parked outside.

The pudding was scientifically analyzed eating quality and balanced ingredients. It tastes rich but not too much. well-balanced pudding!!
Starbucks Coffee Japan has released the season-only sweets such as cookies, tube-cake or macaroon shaped into a petal of cherry blossom, as well as a cherry-themed glass mug cup, a tumbler or even a CD.
It did not stop there. They have now released a mobile phone strap code with little charms of their coffee-customizing items such as paper cup, soy milk bottle or espresso shot. Girls loved them in Japan.
I wonder if Starbucks overseas also offer their original product like these?
I bought a mineral water bottle at convenience store near 8tokyo office.
You can drink just water or drop herbs’ little bag in that.
This is “yellow herb brend”.drop herbs’ bag in, next, leave the bottle 3 min. then shake it!
Can you see the water was colored in yellow? :)
