Last night, I baked a cake using a recipe from Dareka kuruhi no Menu by Rika Yukimasa (This was my mum' recommend!). Using quite a lot of whisky and leave a cake at least for 2 days. I hope the cake will be matured enough for this saturday' party!

Yesterday, I went to see ... Rollins Band! They only played the song of Black Flag (and a bit of Ramones) Yay! Hooray! All the money they makes from this tour goes to the West Memphis Three Defense Fund.

The wenger' bread knife was always on top of my wishlist. Finaly, I decided to own one! Nnn?... did I find a fake wenger knife? The logo is different. Is this just an old logo?

Hurray! Fuji Rock! I went there by the day's trip without any baggage with me. It was a very nice summery weather but the rain from the day before turned the road into mud. we completely got muddy feet.

We went to the roof garden of CENTO COSE (thai restaurant) by the Meguro river yesterday. It was one of our friends' birthday party and we had a lots of drinks from 6:30-11:30pm! The view isn't that great in this time of a year (I think Spring time is good with cherry blossoms) but nice to drink outside anyway. Stairs which lead to the roof reminded me of the london time somehow...

I couldn't win this set of containers for seasoning by Hankusan Touki. It's hard to find good designed containers for vineger and japanese chill (a mixture of red pepper and other spices) so I wanted it. I was bidding from my mobile in a izakaya bar but become bothering... somebody else won it in the end. This was a beautiful deadstock product designed by Masahiro Mori and produced in 1959-63. Sigh!

Millet' Gleaners is very very popular in Japan. I found this today!

I've been crazy about this Dansk tray designed by Quistgaard, after I found it on an internet auction. I've never seen the real one yet, but I'm sure it's so cooool. A Bidding has ended for the tray today with $256.00 of a winning bid (the final price which finished yesterday was $202). The measuring is 51.4cm L, by 22.9cm W, and it is a boat shape. Awesome!

We came back from a countryside in Fukushima yesterday. There were no gas, no electricity. We could see a firefly. Everything was amazing!! On the way back home, I bought a fukushima' well known cake mamado-ru by Sanmangoku. It was OK but not so special...
