Reminiscent with someone who also did...

I'm very sorry to say, this is as close to home I'll ever get. Center of civilisation - Shibuya Crossing. 

Back alley under Yamanote-sen, with all the nice bars. Didn't visit Piano this time... maybe later this week. 

And a photo during the day, from the other side. 

Shibuya forever in my heart...

Tokyo Sunday

Today I went to a very nice exhibition in Shiodome at the Panasonic Building - Art Neuveau Glass. Gerda Koepff's collection on loan from Dusseldorf Museum Kunstpalast. 

Then took a walk through Ginza, and happened to stubble across a pair of new earrings at Swarovski's. Yes, the weather wasn't the best and Ginza was not at its most fancy. 

And then walked to Yurakocho, Marunouchi and back to Sengakuji.

and... day 3

After a slow start, I took a walk to Roppongi and had a sandwich at Tully's. Then visited Mori Art Gallery's show "Simple forms". Very interesting exhibition. 

The Tokyo Sky view was partly closed down, seems they are doing some remodelling up there. 

And then it was time for dinner. We tried a new place that I haven't been to before. Super tasty fresh food, with focus on organic and local produce. 

Blue-berry vinegar & Ume mojito 

First a little spoon of summer. 

Then a whole little vegetable garden planted in panko flakes. 

Lots of red peppar

BBQ:ed corn soup, served cold. Yes and you can see the ochoko in the background. Very nice nihonshu.

BBQ:ed veggies with super tasty salt, followed by a cold tofu nabe (with cucumber, sallad, glas noodles and more)

Anago (sea eel) with ginger, nori and rise.

Blueberry ice-cream

A little Tokyo Trip - Part 2...

Actually, the first photo is from last night, very cute weiss beer that Itoko brought me. 

And then today was lunch in Ebisu at a Jamaican place (no photos) followed by coffee and walk/shopping in Shibuya. 

And now "trying" to relax with Avi-chan, but she wants to play and bite my book. 

A little Tokyo holiday - part 1

The feeling of realising that you really miss being in Tokyo (friends and the city) and then next second realising it is a problem with a solution. That was Tuesday evening, now it is Thursday evening... and spending a week at Itoko-chan's place... yes and her new flat-mate super-cute-Avi-chan. 

Playing on the carpet

Got a bit tired and took a short nap between me and the sofa. 

Gazing into the horizon looking for antelopes...

And then it was dinner in Azabujuban at AWKitchen

Picnic with Mint

...and Ernst.

Main Man Mint

It is kind of difficult to take a bad photo of this boy... 

Purrfection

Everyone has angles they look good from, this boy don't care about that - he's got style! Mint-chan is having a 2 week holiday on 41th floor (I'm on the intense Clarityn program). 

Skånesdjurpark

...a "Safari" park for Scandinavian animals. Very nice weather and company... and everyone were pretty tired at the end of the day. All in all, good fun.
