On the metro platform at Omotesando, I was very surprised to find a strange vending machine… A vending machine that sells … books! It’s quite unusual and not the first thing I’d imagine to be popular in the world of digital books! Anyway, if you realise you don’t know enough about Japanese History, or if you want to know everything about Fuji or the Kennedy scandals, you will find everything you need on the platform at Omotesando station!

At Tokyo Midtown the other day, there was an art piece exhibited in the main hall: a combo pump-tiger leg. I thought it was quite interesting!
For the main events of the year, this pastry shop creates limited edition pastries. Their main product is a chocolate croissant (“choco cro” in Japanese), and when Christmas comes they have a white chocolate version with a white sugar topping, or when the cherry blossom season starts they have a cherry flavored choco cro.
Now it’s the Little Girls festival (hinamatsuri) and soon it will be White Day (the Valentine’s Day for girls). So Chococro have two new pastries: the strawberry, matcha and chocolate choco cro in a pink wrapping and the white chocolate heart shaped choco cro in a dreamy blue wrapping!
