Japan Food: Aoyama Flower Market TEA HOUSE

The other day, I went to a nice little cafe behind a florist aptly called "Aoyama Flower Market TEA HOUSE".

Its like a garden... indoors....

Being located behind a flower market, the concept of the cafe is to create atmosphere like a "greenroom". Hence the vines and flowers growing from the walls and tables (it's aesthetics not lazy cleaners).

The cafe specializes in herb teas. Out of the several different blends (such as the Refresh blend, Relax blend) I picked myself a "Summer Time blend".

I was expecting more of a punch of pineapple to the face

Not sure if it tasted like summer but it was a nice sweet blend.So naturally sweet that it even make Paula Deen think twice about a dose of sugar.

Preview: Gintama film ｢劇場版銀魂 完結篇」

Am I the only one excited about this?

Yes, the cult favourite series "Gintama" (銀魂) is getting a second movie made, which will act as a finale to the anime series.

Gintama (written by Hideaki Sorachi) originally started as a manga series in "Weekly Shonen Jump", about the adventures of a carefree samurai, Gintoki Sakata, in a world where aliens invaded Japan in the edo period. Over 44 milllion copies of the manga novels have been sold, and the TV anime had a run for 7 years in total. It's meta-narrative, references to pop culture and more successful manga make it one of my personal favourite comedy series.
