Himitsu Do

I went to the shaved ice shop Himitsu Do in Yanaka.

For their shaved ice, they use the traditional Japanese ice chipper.
The ice shaved by this machine has a very soft and fluffy texture.

Their shaved ice flavors vary depending on the season.
This shaved ice shop is open all year round, not just in the summer,
creating unique shaved ice by making sauce from fruits that are in season.

They have Orange Yogurt and Powdered Soy Bean Cherry flavors, and the one I ate was Melon flavored.
Try any of the fresh fruit flavors, they are very delicious.

Hive Cafe

My friend held their birthday party at Hive Cafe in Iidabashi. It is a cafe managed by the well-known bakery Boulangerie A in Hanzoumon, and fresh baked bread is brought in twice a day.
Aside from things like pizza and spaghetti, there is also a plentiful assortment of wines to choose from.

The spinach gnocchi was particularly delicious!
And the fresh made bread was so good I felt like I could eat it forever.

The interior is decorated with exquisite furniture and is very comfortable.

SENDAGI walk 3：Lemon no mi

”Lemon no mi” is a small, counter seating only restaurant with a set menu.

The daily lunch specials and the pastries are delicious.

All the food there is good, so anyone you bring along will find something they like.

The owner and chef is also talented at making stuffed animals and arranging bouquets, so they sometimes hold events on the second floor.

10ZEN (JYU-ZEN)

I went to 10ZEN, an herbal restaurant in Shinagawa.
The dishes served at 10ZEN are all based on traditional Chinese medicine.

I had the yoga-nabe.

Consuming so many traditional medicinal ingredients is very good for the body.
After I finished eating, my body felt warm and pleasant, and I felt very calm and relaxed.

After the meal I drank a vinegar-based juice. It was very refreshing and delicious.

mishin cafe

“Mishin” means sewing machine.
I don’t have sewing machine, but wish to make something by that! ;)
So I went to mishin cafe to borrow it. The shop owner teach me how to use, and then I made it.
Using sewing machine is 500yen for one hour.

Of course you don’t need using it… you can just enjoy a cup of drink in there.
