all flowers in time

and in japan even the dogs…

found this creation in a flower shop window strolling the streets of tokyo (a few years ago). cute or crazy? it’s all in the eyes of the beholder.

pretty in pink

isn’t she?

art of love

there are some basic similarities between the two best kitchens this world offers (IMHO) – the italian and the japanese: fresh and high quality ingredients. keep it simple and let the natural flavors lead the way. the japanese score a bit higher on the presentation though, italians make cooking an art – the japanese also make it look like art!

(but sometimes the spelling can be tough….)

deeply concerned

a lot of people did their first day at work after the christmas holiday yesterday, they might feel they need a hug. luckily there is help to be found.

tokyo twilight

sitting at an outdoor bar on the odaiba island, looking at the sun setting over tokyo across the bay. sometimes a gt tastes better than usual. 🙂

this is from the archives. i do want to go back, tokyo mon amour.

the affectionate punch

tokyo police officers getting ready for a night in town…

me passing with the camera was probably the most exciting thing that happened that night! 🙂
