Lunch At Andaz Tokyo

I had lunch at Andaz Tokyo. If it's fine weather, you can enjoy the view of skyscraper Tokyo. Unfortunately I couldn't make it.
アンダーズ東京で昼食を取りました。天気が良ければ東京の高層ビル群が眺められるのですが、この日は残念ながらそれが出来ませんでした。

First, I ordered this named "Full blossom."
It's lemon and lime based light and plane soft beverage.
まずは、「フルブロッソム（満開）」という名の飲み物を注文。
レモンとライムがベースのさっぱりしたソフトドリンクです。

It went well with the Boxed Lunch of beef lasagna.
Actually, you can choose the main dish though. They had fish based ones mostly that day so I decided to have this.
ビーフラザニアの弁当と良く合いました。
こちらはメインが選べますが、この日は魚系が多かったのでこれにしました。

It includes such cute sweets and coffee.
こんな可愛いスイーツと珈琲も付いています。

Why I had lunch there?
Just because I had an individual investor's meeting at this hotel. And this is one of the investment property of them. Since I am one of the investor so I wanted to see how well the business goes.
何故ここでランチを食べたのかって？
それは、このホテルで投資家の会議があったから。そしてここは投資対象物件の一つなんです。投資主の一人としては業績はどうかも知りたいですからね。

Dragee As Easter Egg

I almost forgot to upload Easter eggs photo. Well, I should say it's dragee.
イースターエッグの写真をアップするのをすっかり忘れていました。ただしこれはドラジェですけど。

It came with such cute egg container.
こんな可愛い容器に入っていました。

Layered Petal Cherry Blossoms #2

Here are layered petal cherry blossoms of dark pink color. I think it worked  prettier than previous post.
やや濃い目のピンク色をした八重桜。前回よりは綺麗な色に撮れたかなと思っています。

It blooms after Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms.
八重桜はソメイヨシノの後に咲き始めます。

My photographic skill is improving... I guess.
How do you like it?
写真撮影の腕前がほんの少し上達したかも・・・
みなさん、どう思いますか？

Layered Petal Cherry Blossom #1

Cherry blossom viewing tour still goes on. This time I was at near my area. There are layered petal cherry trees. Since I'm practicing with my new camera so I took photos form many different angles.
桜見物ツアーは続きます。近隣の八重桜が美しい場所です。新しく購入したカメラの操作を勉強中なので、色々な角度から撮影してみます。

Then I moved to another place. These are layered petal cherry also but pale pink colored ones. They were full bloom and so beautiful.
My new camera has lots more function than my old one so it's a bit hard for me to learn whole things at a time.
場所を変えて、淡いピンク色の八重桜。ちょうど満開でとても綺麗でした。
前のカメラより機能が格段多く、カメラ操作が中々習得できません。

Just keep on studying!
まだまだ修行中です！

Hanami Bento

Whenever cherry blossom season comes, I would like to have Hanami bento (special boxed lunch for cherry season).
桜の季節になるといつも花見弁当が食べたくなります。

So I went to a department store to get the one. They have many of special bento during the cherry season. I really like to look around.
さっそくデパ地下に買い出しに出かけました。この時期限定の花見弁当がいろいろ出るので楽しみなのです。

This year, I had this one.
今年はこちらを。

I also got such lovely cake as my desert.
そして、デザートとしてケーキも購入しました。

I was planning to have the bento under the cherry tree though, I could not make it since it was very windy day. So I had the one at my house instead.
I just imagined that I was under those cherry trees.
この日は風か強くなり、戸外で弁当を食べるのは難しかったので、自宅で花を想像しながら頂きました。

The layered petal cherry season comes next.
さあ、次は八重桜ね。

Cherry Blossoms At Sayama Park

I went to see cherry blossoms in Sayama park. I should say it's the beginning of cherry blossom tour this year.
狭山公園に桜を見に行ってきました。今年の桜見物は、ここからから開始です。

There are many slopes in this park so I didn't walk around. I mainly took the photos near the entrance gate.
坂が多い場所なので、あまり歩き回らず、入り口近くの桜を撮影しました。

According to them, there are five different kinds of cherry trees in the park.
この公園には５種類の桜が植えられているそうです。

They were all beautiful.
どれも綺麗でした。

Unfortunately I didn't recognize which is which.
I just say, they were all very pretty.
残念ながら、どれが何なのかはよくわかりません。
分かるのは、どれも皆綺麗だという事。

This is how the park look like.
公園全体はこんな感じの景色です。

It was a warm and gentle spring day.
穏やかな春らしい天気で気持ちの良い日でした。

After cherry tree viewing, I had a tea break at my favorite place.
桜の次はこちらでお茶休憩を。お気に入りの場所です。

Well, where do I go next?
さて、次はどこへ行こうかな？

Won Sweep Steak Twice

I won sweep steak twice lately.
These are free admission ticket of  hot spa (Onsen) for two people.
I may go twice instead of going with someone else, hee, hee...
懸賞で２度、商品が当たりました。
これは温泉施設の無料入場券２枚。
誰かと行くのではなく、一人で２度行こうかと。へへへ・・

The second one is free coffee. I had my coffee break with "inexpensive."
お次は無料コーヒー。「安価」で珈琲休憩が出来ました。

What supposed to be next?
次は何が当たるかな？

Toenail Care Of Spring Season

It was my toenail care day.
I was heading to Hiroo as usual. Then I saw such pretty cherry blossoms. I took it at red light, of course!
この日は私のネイルケアの日。
いつもの様に広尾に向かう途中で桜の花を撮影。勿論、信号待ちの時ですよ！

At the salon, I was thinking of which color I would choose.
Oh well....
サロンでは、今回は何色にしようか考えていまして・・・

Since I saw spring yellow flowers....
春の黄色い花を見てしまったもので・・・

I'm already thinking of which color I would choose next time.
既に次回は何色を選ぼうか思案中です。

Eggs Benedict

It's been three years since I got a new car. So I have had first car inspection. Of course everything is fine. Just replaced winter tires into summer ones.
After all work done, I left Subaru dealer and was heading to Royal Host for my branch time.
Their Eggs Benedict is my favorite one.
新車購入から３年が過ぎ、最初の車検を迎えました。勿論、何の問題もなし。タイヤをスタッドレスから夏タイヤに替えました。
全て終わり、スバルディーラーを出て、ブランチを食べに向かったのはロイヤルホスト。
ここのエッグベネディクトは好きなメニューなの。

Yum, yum....
美味しいねぇ・・

His New Jacket

Fashion dog lately.
Terry Mama got a nice jacket for him.
Look! It fits him perfect.
最近のファッションドッグです。
テリーママにジャケットを買ってもらいました。
ほら、似合ってるでしょ？

Oh well, you know what he is looking for....
Food, of course!
ところでテリー君が何を見ているかというと・・・
勿論、食べ物ですわ！

But he holds the pose as a professional model.
でもポーズの取り方はプロそのものでしょ。

More Room Available For

I had my lunch at Chinese restaurant. It was sort of big one and I became very full though...
この日の昼食は、沢山の中華料理でお腹いっぱいになったのですが・・・

I felt like to have some sweets anyway....
We call it "betu-bara" in Japan.
It means; there are still more room available for sweets even though you're full.  
それでもまだ甘いものが食べたくなる・・・
別腹ってことで。

Why not?!
もちろん食べましたよ！
