Shaved ice - Asami

We visited Nagatoro area in Chichibu, Saitama the other day and went to the local hidden gem - Asami Reizo, a Japanese cafe famous for its shaved ice (かき氷).

Nothing can be better than having delicate natural shaved ice made from spring water in the Japanese yard in a warm day. I was just so happy that we found this place!

We ordered White Peach and the Kuromitsu Maccha Azuki. The shaved ice just melt right away while I poured the Kuromitsu syrup over it.

Definitely worth the trip if you have a car and have a chance to visit this area.

Excuse me.

Sorry I've been so lazy and busy not having time to do some photo shoot...

here are some updates.

I finally tried on this H&M leopard print shirt.. but I'd like one made in real silk I think..
and after seeing the YSL leopard print nylon easy.. I guess it really raised my standard for "beautiful leopard print."



casual outfit today. These Celine pumps are almost 5inch high heels but surprisingly comfy.
skirt by 3.1 Phillip Lim. I'm obsessed with his collection right now.
