Pink food

I think that we Japanese love Sakura(cherry blossom).

There are many kinds of Pink food(Sakura iro) in many shops, and we instinctively buy them.

We enjoy this season which only lasts about 2 weeks with all our force.

Many companies develop products,food and services related to Sakura,and we continue to buy them.

In Asagaya I found some examples! How lovely they are!

Lunch in Nihonbashi

There are many old restaurants near my office.

I usually cook my own lunch box(to save money), but today I went to an old restaurant with my coworker.

I found it on the Internet.

According to some comments on the bush telegraph site, the Kamameshi seems to be delicious.

 I want to eat Kamameshi!(Kamameshi is a famous Japanese dish)

The sign was too high for everyone to see, but I could find it by chance.

building

The building was very old and  the song of birds is piped in through the speakers.

An old man and woman managed that restaurant, and the restaurant was very small and quiet.

We sat at the counter.

The old man said to us that he was from Shimane, and he loves his hometown,so he uses only fish that are caught in Shimane.

The kamameshi was so delicious!

The old man said to us that he considers the balance of nutrition in his cooking.

owner

I said to him that the Kanameshi had the taste of Kansai(West of Japan).

He laughed.

The taste of west Japan is different to that of the east Japan.The taste of Kansai food is lighter and more delicatte than the taste of Kanto;the east of Japan.

I became to like the restaurant and the Kamameshi which he cooks.

I want to search for such a nice restaurant around Nihonbashi.

The restaurant’s name is Zubora(寿保羅)

Nihonbashi

I am working in Nihonbashi.

Nihonbashi is a famous town and has been the financial center of Tokyo since Edo period.

Many business people who look rich are working around Nihonbashi.

There are many financial institutions near my office.(but my company  is a small web company)

We can walk to Tokyo station within about 10 minutes.

There are so many old shops therefore I like the atmosphere in Nihonbashi.

I took some photos on the way to my house.

Nihonbashi looks wonderful at night!
