GRANO DELICATESSEN BAR

I had a really nice glass of hot wine at one of my favorite cafes!

You know, I enjoyed a glass of hot wine… ALONE.

It just sort of happened. 

I admit... this removed all my small woes in my mind!!!!!!

You see, maybe I needed this for some reasons.

If you’re an organic fan, you’re going to go crazy over this place. Yes, they are yummy. Their food is nutritious and they have amazing selection of side dishes that go with main dish.

Originally, it was me and Jane’s lunch place. But now, everyone loves this place:)


さて、昨日のわたしのプチ贅沢タイム～

わたしのとっておきランチスポット・・・ですが、昨日はというと・・・

なんだか飲みたかったんですよね～～

そして新しい発見っ！こちらのデリは食事だけでなく自家製ホットワインも美味しいです！！！

元々こちらのデリは私とJaneのランチスポット

でしたが！気がつくとキノコが生えるようにみるみるとファンが増えてライライもママも大好きな場所です！

ヘルシーだけど、見栄えも抜群、ボリューム十分だからですかね、普段断固として肉派なライライも、アポのない日のランチは＜あのDELIだな！＞みたいな！

これは特にお薦めです！とおすすめメニューを紹介したいのですが、ほんっとうにどれも美味しいんです

AMASAKE

Okay, I got an another bottle!!!

Super nutritious, creamy and refreshing drink. I love the creaminess and thickness of this brand.

I go to the store to get this quite often. My mom likes to drink this with soy milk.

Yes, it is super delicious! Indeed!!!

やっぱり寄りたくなってしまうのがあまさけセクション！

今年になって何本目かな～　うっしっし～

今日はこのお気に入りあまさけにしました

この甘酒、冷やして飲んでもとっても美味しいんですよ～～

濃厚なのにさらっと感があるのがたまらないの～～

ママは豆乳と合わせて飲むのが好きみたい

豆乳と甘酒、とってもヘルシーな組合せですねっ

Marunouchi Reading Style #2

I simply wanted to read this morning alongside a cup of coffee

So... Here I am... Again!

Best part is THE JAM ♡

I have to tell you, I love their berry jam and cｌotted cream combo!

またまた来ちゃいました～前回

朝起きた瞬間からトーストモードだったので・・・！ルンルンといってきました～

The 焼肉

There is a very nice Yakiniku, Korean BBQ place around my apartment. 

It is a very cozy place with an attentive owner. The meat they use is amazingly authentic. I love all kinds of meat here but these days I am into chicken. They offer ‘sansho’ spices which are commonly used in Japan. Powdered leaves of sansho are used to make noodle dishes and soups mildly hot. But it pairs well with chicken also. Instead of using pepper or sauce, this taste is very new and trendy, so my whole family loves this taste. Plus, their services are the best. 

We tried so many kinds of meat(small portions), all the meat we could possibly think of, and we also had bibimbap in the end.   

Speaking of bibimbap and Korean food, I had the best announcement this week.

This. Is. Amazing. This news brightens up my whole week! Yay!

My best friend Hyo got an award for her dissertation from school. How awesome is that!!!!! I am SO happy for her! We have known each other for more than a decade; she is one of the very few people who knows all the inner details of my life. 

I immediately recognized her as my sister when I was 20 years old. She is the one who taught me how to survive college life, taught me interesting places around the town, she is the very first person who took me to a place to drink when I turned into 21. She is very special. She gives me fresh perspective, provides me comfort. Chatting with her is my therapy. Despite all her busy days, she always welcomes me anytime wherever she is, and she gives her straight and honest comment. 

I am glad that I have a friend like her and I am very happy that she can achieve her goal in a couple of months.

Amazake

I'm super addicted to amazake now. 

You will be surprised how these fermented rice drink keep your body healthy.

とにかく甘酒が好きです

甘酒には＜飲む点滴＞と言われるほど、栄養があるってことを知ってましたか？

最近は、デパートの食料品コーナーにずらりと並ぶ甘酒たち

大抵、砂糖が使われていない自然の甘さのもの、時には黒ゴマなんかも買います、今年は春ならではの桜麹甘酒っていうのも飲んでみました

まだまだ甘酒ブームは続きそうです

Nagamine

My mom and I love vegetable sushi. We love raw fish sushi, of course. But if we go girls lunch, vegetable sushi always wins.  This is a perfect lunch for vegetable lovers. All dishes have been served with fresh & safe vegetables for more than 60 years. They have been exploring truly healthy-organic vegetables that are a perfect match with rice.

Recently they opened their branch in Ginza. Dishes are always considered and served with seasonal vegetables. This restaurant is always crowded with health-conscious customers.

Ginza 4-9-5, Ginsho Bldg B1F

Open 11:30am-3, 5:30-11pm. Closed Sundays

fresh

I must say, I love everything about this brand. I'm completely addicted.

There's absolutely nothing more relaxing than having a warm sake bath with a glass of champagne by my side.

This is exactly the kind of stress-relief that I love to do everyday.

I can talk about bath salt and candles from dawn to dusk!!! Seriously!

Bath soak, Brown sugar body polish, Fig body butter... Oh my gosh, I love this fresh scent and smooth texture combo! I promise you will love all of these.

Freshのファンになって4年が経ちました、、、とっておき、みんなに進めたいスキンケアブランドです

フレッシュな香り＋肌につけたときの心地よさがたまらないボディバター

あっという間に肌がしっとりするからこれまた不思議なバスソルトやオイルは病みつきになること間違えなし！

ちょっぴり贅沢しちゃおうっていう夜に使います

WW with Joa

I am eager to share with you one of my amazing nights with Joa.

My friend Joa is multi-talented, cute and incredibly smart entrepreneur. She travels all the time, so the very first question I always ask when we talk over the phone is 'Where are you?'

We had an amazing dinner at WW the other day. I must say, it was awesome. The view was breathtaking, food was delicious and the drinks of Joa's selection were awesome.

She is the one who gave me a chance to enjoy fresh oysters and bubbly champagne,

She made me realized that there are countless ways to enjoy life. I cannot think of my life without her.

Apparently, she might be busy, she doesn't pick up her phone ;)
