Marukai Seafood Market & Restaurant

My high-school friend Nishida-kun opened his new restaurant in Saiki.
They only serve lunch. The adjoining "Maru" market sells seafood
products from all over Oita Prefecture.

Summer Lunch in Omotesando 2010

Our annual summer lunch this year was at Le Pre Verre in Omotesando.
Food was nice but a bit disappointing that the restaurant now is so small
without any view of the street.

White chocolate cake with yuzu flavor at Cafe Bulgari -- this cafe has
a wonderful view of green-trimmed street.
