I got a black leather & suede bag, ‘Claras Day Bag’ from see by Chloe at Ikebukuro Seibu department store.
The leather is very smooth and soft, and it is not very heavy.
I really love the two front bows with golden edges, and also I like its
rectangular shape with the flat bottom because I can put a lot of my staff in there.

Amadokoro Akane serves delicious Japanese sweets in Kamakura.
Especially their “ni-azuki”, sweeten boiled azuki beans are so good!
Ni-azuki with baked rice cake was a menu for new year.

I had a special lunch course at Ginza Aster in Shinjuku with my friend.
The Ginza Aster is a very famous fancy Chinese restaurant in Japan.
The course was started with the appetizer, stir-fried chicken with some vegetables, stir-fried white fish with some root vegetables, braised pork belly, noodles and almond jelly with fruits for dessert.
I really enjoyed the Chinese foods that were very good and not greasy.

I went to the ‘Tsurugaoka hachimangu’ at Kamakura also after I finished to wash my money at the ‘Zeniarai benzaiten ugafuku-shrine’.
I went there for just visiting, however, fortunately I was able to see the Shinto-style wedding. It looks very traditional Japanese style! We seemed to be transported back in time to the Edo era.

Komeda’s Coffee is a chain company of coffee shops, but they are very famous of “Shironoir”.
Soft serve is on hot danish pastry. Simple and kinda nostalgic sweets!
My friend ordered “Cream soda”, the vivid green soda reminds us when
we were children!

I went to the Zeniarai benzaiten ugafuku-shrine at Kamakura in Kanagawa pref.
The shrine has a religious faith that money will be returned in multiples if we wash the money with the clear water….
