Can I please move in?

Today we went to Tokyo Mart to try and pick up some Bento Boxes but sadly they were sold out :( So we took ourselves off to Ryo Tei's for some oishii ramen! Anyway, driving around today we saw this super cute pink house! How cute is it~?! I just had to show you! I want to move in!

Hope you are having a Happy Saturday!
I am getting ready for a night with my dear friend Gracie and my Hanayama Digital Bingo machine and Hello Kitty bingo cards! What are you up to this weekend?

Ebony & Ivory

Ebony & Ivory is a lovely collection of handmade jewellery made by Ako-san, a UK based Japanese girl. Aren't they just gorgeous! Most Ebony & Ivory jewellery pieces are created using vintage materials from the 50's to the 70's.

So...if you ever want to buy me a present...ha ha ha! But don't you think it would be cute to wear jewellery that has your own name! Oh and Ako-san also has a blog! Check out Milk Tea.

I love this too!

Umeshu

My new Choya Umeshu thanks to Mr Y's Japan package!


My 一番 favourite のみもの to drink in Japan is umeshu. I like umeshu best on the rocks with chotto soda, but some people prefer to drink with lots of soda. Oh to be sitting under a kotatsu drinking umeshu right now...

Recently I have seen a few 'make your own umeshu' recipes and blog posts popping up. Wouldn't it be wonderful to make your own!

Gorgeous images (above) thanks to Jollygoo

If you would like to have a go at making your own umeshu, have a look at Just Hungry's Umeshu recipe and Umeboshi recipe. And you will also love Jollygoo's Homemade recipe.

Jollygoo also recommends this fantastic review from Blue Lotus.
