what an intense, nail biting series!

love the Louis Vuitton building in Ginza

And stumbled on the Gucci Osteria (restaurant)...so cute!

Also saw the Musubi book that I learned about from Kathy's blog at Tsutaya in Ginza

Do you like shiraae? I don't think I had it until I lived in Japan. 

I want to learn how to make this...especially this version that is topped with walnuts.

I'm sure you can change up what nuts and veggies you use...

Found out that the Tokyu Hands in Umeda (Osaka) will close this month.

The grandpa that had an accident, fixed his bumper, though I think it may be a loaner van that he is driving because the license plate is different.

In a recent post, blog friend Jalna, said she doesn't like standing in line. 

Semi-good news! there are some ramen shops in Tokyo Station that have started a "fast pass" so instead of waiting, you can bypass the lines.  

You do have to pay extra to get the pass (like 500 yen), but if you don't mind doing that you can bypass the lines.

It was a short week because we had a holiday on Monday.

Satoshi had a tour last night, has one today and one tomorrow.

There might be a typhoon/rain approaching at the end of next week.

Hope you all have a safe weekend.
