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.

This weekend!

Eventually my husband is taking a day off and we are planning to visit somewhere near Tokyo.
The cherry blossom season is almost over but here comes spring...
Sorry the photos are blurry :P

In front of our office

My favorite Sakura Season in Japan!All cherry blossom trees blooming in front our office in Akasaka in Tokyo, mostly in pale pink and some pure white.
Actually the road itself is called Sakura-zaka which means the slope of cherry blossom.
The Randy Cafe right beside the building is also famous as a filming location for TV shows and news, 
which now is 100% seated during lunch hours as well as after work.

Here are two photos I posted on Instagram lately.
Will have more photos coming soon (hopefully).
