this and that

Gelatle's (apparently they combined the words gelato & turtle) blood orange shiroan gelato was more like a sherbet.

This had blood orange juice, shiroan (sweetened white bean paste), and also used some kiyose honey....different but super refreshing!

FYI: Kiyose is a city in the northern part of Tokyo

we kinda woke up to watch "parts" of the Japan vs Brazil soccer match...the broadcast was at 2:00

I fell asleep at half time and woke up just in time to see Japan lose (sorry!)

I always like seeing how this electronics store will dress up its mascot for different events during the year 

This is him cheering for the soccer team

Godiva and Shirokuma are collaborating for 7-eleven...chocolate shaved ice topped with lots of fruits, hope to try this soon

saw someone make an espresso tonic with elderflower water tonic

since I found some at the market I tried

the elderflower tonic water was bitter 

instead of espresso I did mine with coffee

I enjoyed the combination and am glad I got to try this

Tokyo People: she had this huge umbrella, and at first I thought she was protecting people from the drips of the window washer, but I think it was to protect her!

peach season!

we've been having rain, there is a possibility of another typhoon (maybe two?!) coming

even if it is a little cool, it is still gross & humid

have a safe weekend!
