Summer Fairs at PRINTEMPS GINZA

Yukata Boutique (7F)

The yukata fair has just started from last week in the runup to a summer season. The theme for this year is ‘Otona Deco’, which means that partial decorations are added to usual yukata fashion, such as laced obi or decorated obi shime. The new fashion this year is the yukata containing xylitol to make you feel cool when you wear it.  Black, white or dark blue with flower print is the fixed trend in these years.

They prepared 1,000 kind of yukatas and 500 small items for this fair. The price for yukata is between 15,000 yen to 35,000 yen and they offer some benefits by buying a yukata.

TOSHIE in Toranomon – Japanese Traditional Restaurant

TOSHIE is located in a quiet office area of Toranomon. It is known as Izakaya, a Japanese style bar, where you can try many kinds of Sake. You don’t have to read the menu… Just say Tempura, Sashimi and Sake, and you’ll have enough to experience a cool spot in Japan!!!

Just to remind you… Sake is tasty but easy to get drunk! Don’t drink too much!!!

TORITAKE in Shibuya – One of the BEST YAKITORI Places!

Needless to say, Yakitori is very popular as Japanese food all over the world. Small pieces of chicken meat are grilled and covered with salt or soy source flavor. You can find a lot of Yakitori smoke and smell coming from nowhere in downtown area of Tokyo. 

I would like to introduce one of the coolest and best Yakitori places in Tokyo. It’s Toritake in the local part of Shibuya near Mark City. The size of Yakitori here is distinctive… HUGE!!! You can see from the pics too.

You can try various kinds of chicken meat by sharing many kinds of sticks with your company/companies.

They are ALL GOOD!

  A  new confectionery shop “Love Sweets Antique” opened in Nagoya City Aichi pref.  on this March 3rd (the Dolls’  Festival Day !) . The shop sells ”Toronama Donuts”. The Japanese word  ”toro” may imply somewhat  “thick and tender” and “nama” means ” raw, fresh, unprocessed,or  unbaked” .  Therefore,  it is a ”not baked nor fried donut” .  And this is  the world’s first ones of such a new type of  donuts.

42. You will never see a more expansive sake list – Kuri

In terms of sheer variety, Tokyo is the best place in the world to try sake, and it’s likely that you’ll be able to find most of it at Kuri （庫裏）in Ginza. The sake menu is a tome that lists over 100 varieties. After the third cup, you might be brave enough to try the hoya no shiokara (fermented sea pineapple guts), which isn’t half as bad as it sounds.

37. You have to work for high-end tempura

It might take a while to find Motoyoshi among the backstreets of Minami-Aoyama, but its GPS-confounding location is part of the fun. The prize for actually arriving is perfectly crisp tempura. The chef is as picky about his ingredients — succulent scallops and tender asparagus in summer, hearty red carrots from Kyoto in winter — as he is about his technique. Read the rest of this entry »
