Weekly revue: 2013 week #20 (May 11 to 17)
Food: - Had a nice dinner course at Re:gendo in Nishi-Ogikubo. The restaurant opened in 2011 beautifully reusing a traditional Japanese house (kominka). The food was good and reasonably priced too!
- Macaron et chocolat, Nishi-Ogikubo. It was a rainy day and they gave customers a special tiger macaron rusk.
- Quesadillas, nachos, etc. at mexican restaurant El Quixico, Nishi-Ogikubo
- Also I went to Yoyogi Park at 8:30am on a weekday for a breakfast surprise picnic party for a friend! We all brought some food and had breakfast together before going to work. The weather was just right and it was a great way to start the day! :)
- Not food, but while in Nishi-Ogikubo we visited "a small shop". As the name says, it's a small shop, which sells various things by different craft artists. The owner is a clothes designer (the brand is called "a" (read "small a")) and her works are also displayed and sold at the shop.
Live event: I went to see The Scooters live at mona records, Shimokitazawa, the neighborhood of leader Shindō Mitsuo. The place was packed, and the show was just wonderful! I'm so glad I could see and hear this again: the girls' voices and saxophones, Shindō-san's glockenspiel, Turban's entertaining personality, and Sally Kubota's bass, etc. I'm looking forward for more from The Scooters!
