Weekly revue: 2016 week #31 (July 30 to August 5)

Last week was my birthday! :) Lots of great food and fun times!

Food: - Curry lunch plate at Toranoko Shokudō, Shibuya
- Delicious aged sushi at Marufuku, Nishi-Ogikubo
- Some great ice cream at #UTTHF (Unable To Take Hot Food), an ice cream stand that keeps moving from a place to another. Check their Instagram (@unable.to.take.hot.food) for the latest info!
- Grasshopper (cucumber & mint sandwich), chicken tikka masala and world class brownie at Bespoque, Higashi-Nakano
- & many cakes here and there! :)

Music event: - I went to see Kaji Hideki's first show of his 20th anniversary tour! It was held at Club Quattro in Shibuya, the perfect place for a Shibuya-kei kind of show! He played a bunch of songs covering his whole career but also many from his latest album "The Blue Boy" that I love! As always he gave a very energetic and powerful show. This time he was accompanied by the two of Koncos (TA-1 and Satō Hiroshi), Sister Jet's bassist Ōnari Yasushi) and keyboardist Simoryo (the chef cooks me). Simoryo's keys were especially great! There was a quick appearance by Kaseki Cider, for the song "Tropical Girl".

- A nice cassette tape player found its way home! I had been wanting one for a while especially because I had some unlistened tapes sitting around, and also because tapes seem to be gaining a bit of popularity again!
