Sun, 28 April, 2024 Category Food
Big dinner took place quite far today.
Very exceptional.
MoonFlower wanted this in particular.
Went out with some dressy style. Hahaha.
Minimum, though.
Our destination for the day - Restaurant Artisan.
French cuisine.
Restaurant Artisan is now becoming famous since highly rated by famous cuisine site.
Well, no doubt about such high reputation.
Was a good and reasonable dinner.

Outlet Shopping Mall in Chiba
Sun, 21 April, 2024 Category Shopping
Haven't been there for a long time…
But happened to be there today.
Showed up in Chiba for routine errands.
Well, things got done quicker than thought.
Then, showed up in outlet shopping mall.
Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu
No particular purpose… originally. Just looked around.
MoonFlower bought some underwear.
I came to Ralph Lauren for looking something.
Rained at night.
My C-coupe got wet but having been dirty like hell. Hahaha.
Need to do the car wash sooner.
Look what I got.
MoonFlower recommended me to get this pair of pants.
Supposedly go well with BODE shirt in particular.
Will see how it would go. Hahaha.
This pair came perfect fit for me, somehow.
Maybe I should stick to this brand for my casual wear.
Good idea, maybe?
Hahaha.

Sushi "U WO TOKU" (Higashi Mukojima)
Sat, 20 April, 2024 Category Food
My (51) birthday is around the corner and our family went out to celebrate.
Came to our "always" place called UWOTOKU - very popular sushi place.
Quite expensive but definitely worth it.
Recommended but be sure that you are able to handle Japanese language.

Unagi (eel) at Narita
To Narita, Chiba for fun today.
It was MoonFlower's friend's birthday and we got together to celebrate.
Narita Station
Way down to Narita Shinshoji - the Temple.
Front gate.
Temple for prayer- wishing health and business success.
It was heavy rain when we all came last year.
This year, clear weather.
Surugaya - famous eel restaurant.
Still lunch, but party started.
White eel - without source.
Regular "Unaju" with dark source.
Eel is expensive dish for sure… but definitely worth it.
For supper, showed up to friend's place - tavern.
Called "Tetsu Ryu" or "Tetsu's style."
We all were full. Quite full for sure!
Great day with great food and drinks!!!
What else?!

Great and Fun
Weekend is over!
Big sofa chairs are back from maintenance. Finally.
They were gone since mid-February.
Now back like brand new! Cool.
Winning voucher! From Oka Sho (Cherry Blossoms Stakes).
It was small bet and won small as well. Fun, though.
For dinner, MoonFlower and I showed up in Ginza.
Dinner was planned with a couple who I used to work with.
Ginza Espero - Spanish cuisine tonight.
MF and I have been here before. Such a long time ago, though.
Great Paella dish.
Some steak, also.
Finished with dessert.
Didn't take pictures of dishes that came in 1st half of the course.
I was eager to talk!!! Hahaha.
It was fun to talk about old days and current up-to-date about people we know in common.
Great dinner. Fun reunion.

Tokyo's Cherry Blossoms
Sat, 06 April, 2024 Category Photo
On the way to and back from a pastry shop, saw natural beauty.
One of the favorite pastry shops located in Nihombashi - "Oyatsu no Koboku"
MoonFlower bought quite many… for just two of us.
I guess, this weekend is going to be full of sugar!
Tokyo's cherry blossoms!
I guess, this week and next are the only time remaining for appreciation.

Reward after Hard Work
Wed, 03 April, 2024 Category Food
Long day - I managed 6 hour management workshop.
Made it smoothly and feel good about it.
Have to do that another 4 times?! Yeah, will do it all!
Good thing about this project, I come to free lunch.
Yeah, good one, too.
Some kind of luxury taste. Hahaha.
It was from "Imahan" in Ningyocho.
After workshop successfully delivered, it was a reward time.
MoonFlower and I went out to dine.
Dinning at local foodie place.
Authentic Japanese tavern place in Bakuroyokoyama.
Place called "Sahara-Ya."
Very local. Nostalgic, too.
See!
Food as well.
Came home totally full. Thank God.
Great reward to myself.
In addition, we came to have sweets as well.
More than perfect!
