It’s OK for the workplace! French Nail.

In the Japanese offices, we cannot be clad as casual as Western nations. (In the tacit rule) Also, it is important to be neat. So be sure not to be overly decorous. It is the office manner to enjoy fashions “unintentionally”.

Though French Nail is directly interpreted as “The French style Nail”, in fact French Nail was born in the United States.

The new product of 2013, "HeatTech Extra Warm"
A HeatTech that's 1.5 times warmer

A new Heattech that's 1.5 times warmer has been announced. Considering how regular Heattechs are constantly sold out during the middle of winter, it will probably be very hard to get a hold of the new version. Be sure to buy some if you find them in a store. There are only two designs for now, but they both only cost 1,500 yen.

The Starbuck's sakura macaroon is made in the motif of this sakura rice cake. This is a traditional Japanese sweet.
What covers the rice cake made from pink-colored mochi rice (sticky kind of rice), is a pickled leaf of cherry blossoms.

To faithfully reproduce the taste of sakura rice cake, pickled leaves of cherry blossom is actually kneaded into the macaroons. Therefore, they are slightly salty.
The store is sakura everywhere!

Inside the store, it is fully in sakura mode, by the pink color of the "SAKURA" series and the in-store decoration (vary between store locations).

What are salted cherry blossoms?

Salted cherry blossoms are cherry blossoms mixed with salt and vinegar (or lemon) and using stones as pickle press, marinated for 2-3 days and dried.
Although they taste salty, the scent of cherry blossoms are deepened.

Salted cherry blossoms are often used in Japanese pastries,

but Japanese pastry shops also use them to convey Japanese flavor in Western pastries they make.

And... there is indeed such a product!

*Be sure to wash the rice many times in order to make them glutinous, if you use foreign rice; no matter which rice you use.

It is very simple to make.

1. All combine
Pour raw egg and soy sauce into the rice…

2. Stir with chopsticks!
In fact, foreigners try rice poured raw eggs more than Japanese. You can make it that simply.
That’s it.
Now you can eat. Let's have the dish while it is hot.

That’s amazingly delicious… isn’t it?
The eggs obtained in Japan are fresh so that you can eat them raw.
