My latest favourite lunch and coffee place in Nakameguro is TASTE & SENSE which is tucked inside a lovely store 1LDK aparments. I love taking a walk to this place from my house when I feel like having a good cup of coffee :)

The light leak is really disappointing from this latest roll of film but oh well.... These photos are from a new cafe in Nakameguro. It's so lovely and I love every detail about the space, all so beautiful... Another great thing is that they are open for breakfast from 9am, while most cafes open from 11 or 12pm! You'd think you have come to a countryside of France while sitting at the table drinking fresh herb tea - yes it's called La vie a la campagne :)

This year's sakura season is over now but oh it was so beautiful. These are mainly from Jiyugaoka and Nakameguro, daily scenes turning all so incredibly stunning. This is the time I feel most happy to be in Japan than any time else every year and I hope you know what I mean :)

The very first roll of film of the new year is from a wonderful day I had with lovely Maria. On a very cold but beautiful day, starting off at Nakameguro station we walked through to Daikanyama and back to Nakameguro for a nice warm lunch, a quick train ride to Gakugeidaku for more strolling around taking photos and visiting my favourite shops and then popping on the bus to show her the mina perhonen shops (seriously my very favourite shops in Tokyo) finishing off with nice cups of hot chocolate. What a jolly good day it was and I was so happy to meet another of my lovely blog friends! Danke maria :)

Sakura Walk in Nakameguro

Normally the streets along the canal here in Nakameguro have lanterns and it gets all lit up in the evening, but this year like everywhere else in Tokyo no light-ups had been held to save electricity for the concern of unexpected power shortage due to the temporary shutting down of the nuclear power plants in Fukushima. But that was no big deal, without lanterns I think it looked all white and extra beautiful. It would actually and probably (or hopefully) be the only year I could photograph the sakura here looking like these without lanterns in sight. (You can see what it normally looks like here in my old post.)

Sakura was all over the place, up in the sky, down on the ground, in the reflections and in the shadows, fallen petals even in my hands. Looking at people having great time, smiling, made me smile (half crying) I must have looked insane but I will remember this year's sakura as a very special memory and I hope you enjoyed my sakura photos! :)
