"Nakamura Tokichi" is a very popular matcha cafe in Uji, Kyoto. Uji is well known for producing good quality green tea. You can see a lot of tea shops and tea cafe here.
「中村藤吉(なかむらとうきち)」は宇治(うじ)でとても人気(にんき)の抹茶(まっちゃ)カフェです。宇治(うじ)はいい緑茶(りょくちゃ)の生産地(せいさんち)としてよくしられています。ですからたくさんのお茶屋(ちゃや)さんや、お茶カフェがありますよ。 A special exhibition has been held in this museum until the end of Feb. next year. "Kusama Yayoi" is the world known Japanese artist. Her works have been displayed in this old style Japanese house. Now it's called "Forever Museum of Contemporary Art" . This museum has beautiful tatami rooms, Japanese gardens and a caffe. You can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere here. https://fmoca.jp/

I went to Hankyu department store in Osaka. It was very crowded, so I could't buy any chocolates. But I found many interesting and cute chocolates there!
バレンタインの前(まえ)、日本中(にほんじゅう)でチョコレートイベントが開(ひら)かれます。私は大阪(おおさか)の阪急(はんきゅう)デパートへ行(い)きました。とても混(こ)んでいて、全然(ぜんぜん)チョコレートは買(か)えませんでした。でもたくさん面白(おもしろ)い、かわいいチョコレートを見(み)つけましたよ!^^ "Nakatanido" is a very interesting and famous Mochi shop. You can see the rice-cake pounding at the storefront. The performance is very unique and amazing. Of course, the taste of mochi is very good!^^ (HP of Nakatanido http://www.nakatanidou.jp/) You can see the performance on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGeUE9KK-es&feature=youtu.be 中谷堂はとてもおもしろくて、有名(ゆうめい)な餅屋(もちや)です。店先(みせさき)で餅(もち)つきを見ることができます。その餅つきはとてもユニークですばらしいです。もちろんとてもおいしいですよ!そのパフォーマンスはHPで見ることができます。 They are making "Yomogimochi." Yomogi is a Japanese mugwort. They knead yomogi into mochi. Very delicious! ^^
彼(かれ)らは”よもぎもち”を作っています。よもぎは餅(もち)に練(ね)り込(こ)まれています。 There's an old Mochi shop in front of Imamiya-shrine. This shop has a 400-year history. It's said that if you eat this Mochi you'll become healthy. "Aburi" comes from "Aburu(verb)" . Aburu(炙る あぶる) means to grill lightly. We eat "Aburimochi" with sweet white Miso sauce.
This shrine has a 2000-year history. This is one of the most important shrines for Japanese people. G7 Summit meeting is now being held in this area. In the morning of May 26th, leaders from G7 countries(Japan, France, America, Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada) visited this shrine. (HP: http://www.isejingu.or.jp/top.html ) Very famous sweet in this area. It's called "Akafuku"
At the museum in Sakai that I introduced before, we can enjoy the simple version of Tea ceremony. I didn't have to sit on tatami in a formal way. Matcha and a Japanese-style confection were very delicious. I was surprised to know that the flowers hung on the wall should be in the bud. This bud shows the start of life and energy of new life.
I baked cheesecake using Tofu today. It's very easy to make and healthy. Here's the recipe. I just mixed the ingredients in this order and poured it into a cake mold. This time I spread pie sheet in the bottom of the mold. I baked it in preheated 180c for 40 to 45 minutes.
150g Tofu 200g Cream cheese 60g Sugar 2 Eggs 30g Flour 1/2 Tbsp Milk 1 Tbsp Lemon juice "Mame Daifuku" is a black bean rice cake with red bean jam. I bought "Mame Daifuku" at Takashimaya department store in Kyoto. Many shops sell this sweet, but I think Mame Daifuku sold at "Futaba(ふたば)" is most delicious.
