X-mas season begins.
This Santa Claus is sitting in front of the Daiichi Hotel at UchiSaiwaicho

This is the Santa Claus which I find first this year.

In the Doutor coffee shop at Hatsudai(初台) I spend the lunch time to read a mystery with a cup of coffee.
For a long time I had never had coffee with sugar, but in the August of 2003 I began to have coffee with sugar.

At Otsumadori (大妻通）there are a bakery. My colleague praises the shop is the best bakery around the construction site of Sanbancho(三番町).
I assume he told me the truth. The left is tarte with Kaki(柿). I for the first time in my life have a cake with Kaki. The original week sweetness of Kaki is on my tongue so delicious.
I remember the secret of Japanese sweets: the standard of sweetness should be the one of natural Kaki.
