On the last weekend I went to Ginza, traditional & sophisticated area in Tokyo, where there’re many brand shops like HERMES and Dolce&Gabbana.

Despite of such western brands, there’re still Japanese traditional shops for tea, flowers, Kimono and etc.

First my girl friend rent kimono at Suzunoya . I have my own kimono and wore it home.

I picked her up there and we went to Uogashi-Meicha to drink and buy green tea. We bought a ticket on the first floor, and we stepped to the second floor to have a seat. Staff there served a cup of sweet Sake first, and then served Gyokuro, very strong tea, condensed like espresso. And she brought 3 cups of Sencha, daily type of green tea. Every tea tasted good :) The price of the ticket was about 800 yen (about $8).
