Sabon - Valentine's Day Packaging

I got a gift for my friend from Sabon. The new Valentine's Day Gift box is so pretty. I wish I will receive it myself.  

Bergdorf Goodman

pretty cool, I think.

Youfu-san in New York

Youfu-san（養父貴） is one of the top guitarists in Japan who plays for Ueda Masaki（上田正樹） and produced many commercials and CDs. He is in town so we went out for spanish food at Sevilla and went to Zinc bar for live music.
 

Ford Model

I was at Ford Model the other day. It was fun~ The winner (top), she was from Netherland, the 2nd winner was cute too.  

Rockafeller Center

The Rockafeller center tree is the same every year. It's still pretty but Aiko, Chiho & Mayuko were all very impressed with it. It was soooooooo many people every year. But Xmas in New York is actually a very lonely kind of thing because there are only Xmas shopping people, the tree, company Xmas parties and nothing else. While in Hong Kong or Japan, probably the decorate and the whole atmosphere is so happy and looking forward to Xmas is nothing comparable.

Ebisu Garden Place Lunch

My friend took us to Ebisu Garden Place for lunch. This restaurant was on the 38F floor with nice view of outside. My lunch was soooo good. Just simple, fresh vegetable and good. I like the gomoku-rice 五目米 too. 

New Apple Store on 5th Ave

Tsukemen

Tsukemen つけ麺、今流行ってるらしいです。結構おいしかった。 

Montauk

My friend Maki has been telling me about this place called "Montauk" on Omotesando. Kaori had once wanted to take me here for lunch but it was packed. They say this is the place for lunch. It was nice. I had my mojito and watching people from the 2/f.
 

Urushi - Japanese

 

（汁）ハレノヒ

We just arrive Japan and made in on time for the opening of our friend's new restuarant "Harenohi" （汁）ハレノヒ。 It's in Nakameguro中目黒, which is an area getting very popular. The nabe 鍋 was really good, except I think they forgot the コラーゲン on ours.

There were many flowers were sent by famous musicians and celebrities.

 

Bouley

I went to Bouley with Maki & Rie for lunch today. It was really really good. The food and the services. We ordered the $38 tasting menu but there were 4 extra dishes came out. When we were about to leave, they even gave us a lemon cake as gift. I had skate for appetizer and cod as entree. Both dishes had a touch of japanese seasoning. All the dishes were great. I would definitely love to come back.

The wine list surprised me. There were bottle of wine cost $1600 and even $2950.
 

Rice (Nolita)

Went to Rice at Nolita. The food is surprisely pretty good and so does my pictures.. :)

Mom's back from HK

Mom is back from HK. She bought so many things, as usual....Seems like she had a lot of fun there and went to many new places. The flowers are blooming really pretty outside the house.
