Répertoire

Hotel Seiyo Ginza is one of the luxury hotel featuring top quality service in Tokyo, but it will be closed on 31st of May this year. Before it will be closed, I had very fancy lunch at the resturant "Répertoire" with my friend today. The resturant serves French dishes and we ordered the prefix course. Two appetizers and one entree we could choose from the menu, and the dessert and coffee come with the course.

Saumon Fumé Tiède à la Crème d’Aneth au Citron Vert

(Warmed Smoke Salmon with the Dill and Lime Cream Sauce)

It looks raw, but it was warm a littile bit. It was so good! I wanted eat more.

Potage du Jour(Today's Soup)

It was made from "Saladana"(Type of lettace) 

Marché du Pêcheur Braisé, Sauce Beurre Blanc aux Petits Légumes
(Steamed Alfonsino Fish and Baked Risotto with the Cream Sauce)

Dessert and Coffee

The Dessert cart came to our table. Fifteen kinds of dessert were on the cart and we could have as many as we want. For me, the dessert was the main of the dishes :)  The resturant gave us free refills on coffee.

I wanted to have a lunch at least once before they close. The service and all the dishes were pretty nice and I really want to have it one more time by the end of May.

International Orchid Festival 2013

International Orchid Festival was held from 2/16-2/24 at Tokyo Dome. My father sent me a invitation ticket during that week, and I went there alone(He sent me only one ticket...) It was the second time to visit there, and I was there with my father last time. I didn't know much about orchids, but I was grown surrounded by orchids because of my father.(Please see "my father's works" tab) Surprisingly, there were so many people when I got there. Were Orchids that much popular?

Many orchids were decorated at the entrance, and people were taking the pictures with the flowers.

Bunch of Cattleya

It was really gorgeous!

The Idea of decorating "Phalaenopsis orchid." I want to try this, too.

 Individual Review Division

These three I bought from Taiwanese flower shops. The next day was the end of the festival, so all the flower shops started a discount. All three were selling at 500 yen.

The shop owner said, this one will last for 1.5 months or more. I'm glad I could get them a good deal. Smile :)
