Bukubuku tea

Finally tried bukubuku tea from okinawa. It's like chai but kind of coffee flavor.

It must be good as iced milk tea!

Kyukyodo

If you like cards and stationaries, you should visit 'kyukyodo' in kyoto. They are in business for 300 years, and my favorite is their silkscreen cards. very high quality and lots of design in each seasons, also traditional to modern designs.

It's good for souvenir too!

Shimokitazawa and brother

Last dinner of my japan trip was with my lil' brother in shimokita, where we used to hang out a lot.

We went to okonomiyaki place for dinner and a Vietnamese cafe for dessert.

Talking over good memories, recent life and future idea with good foods. He was not little anymore but still my favorite as shimokita town.
