I got 2 kinds of very lovely Christmas rice crackers from Ginza-Akebono.
They are sold for a limited time of the Christmas season.
One is ‘Santa-Okaki’ that a rice cracker and a crispy peanut are wrapped
together with a designed Santa wrapper.

I received a very cute and colorful gift box of assorted rusk cakes made by the specialty rusk shop, “RUSCO”. Apparently it was bought for me at Yurakucho Lumine, which just opened in October.
The unique and slender gift box contained eight kinds of rusk cake.
They were crispy and delicious!

C.A.G. is a hat shop where your friend Gris (a nickname) both designs and hand-manufactures hats. Her hats are sold at fine retailers such as Shinjuku ISETAN MEN’S and even Barneys New York GINZA.
Since she originally worked for an advertising agency, she is sensitive to the latest trends and movements around the world.
She is very stylish, and it is fun to go chat with her in her shop.
The other day, I went to YEBISU GARDEN PLACE with a friend.
All the trees were lit up, creating truly magical scenery.
A huge Baccarat chandelier was displayed in the center of the square.
The chandelier was amazing, giving the impression that it was floating in the air.

The YANAKA,NEZU,SENDAGI area of Tokyo’s entertainment district is called YANESEN.
It’s an interesting area with a mix of good, old Japanese atmosphere and and the youthful energy of newly opening shops.
Though Antiques Negla in SENDAGI deals in Antique Furniture and zakka from around 1910 through 1970, from time to time young artists will get together to hold events.
On this day, there was a sale for felt ball tree ornaments, accessories, sweets and jam.
Then they treated everyone to hot apple cider in an outdoor shelter, and in the evening there was a poetry reading; it was just like a BUNKASAI（school festival）.
The staff of 8tokyo got together and had a Christmas meeting.
We had a wonderful day chatting and eating the delicious lunch that yo-ko prepared.

I went to see the henri toulouse-lautrec Exhibition at the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Marunouchi.
The Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum is a red brick building, constructed as a Mitsubishi office 117 years ago. It reopened as an art museum in the spring of last year.
The weather was nice on this day, so I strolled leisurely through the vast garden. Near the art museum, there are a lot of interesting shops and stylish cafes like PASS THE BATON and Cath Kidston, so it’s a great place to while away your day off.
