TOKYO CITY GUIDE : RESTAURANTS / DINNER

Keyakizaka

is one of the Grand Hyatt Tokyo‘s restaurants. This innovative Teppanyaki (literally “grilled on iron sheet”) features fresh seasonal meats, seafood and vegetables. The cuisine is a meeting between Japan and the world. I’m not a gourmet, but I can recognize an amazing quality of food. The cooking respects the original flavours of ingredients. Everything is light and tasteful, so perfect, including the dishes presentation. The atmosphere of the Keyakizaka is chic and laid back, with a cosmopolite young crowd. More: HERE.

Kozue

I was invited for a dinner at the 40th floor restaurant of the Park Hyatt Tokyo (yes, the famous hotel of “Lost in Translation”!), Kozue. I really enjoyed the delicious Japanese cooking and the fantastic view of Fuji San and Tokyo! Could you imagine eating in front of  Fuji San? This is an outstanding culinary experience. I also had a huge crush for the superb earthenware plates and dishes created by craftsmen throughout Japan. Beautiful dinner. More: HERE

Design Festa Gallery & Café

Two friends brought me in this crazy space (very organized too): the Design Festa Gallery & Café. This gallery building looks like an arty squatt with a café-restaurant. Exciting paintings on walls. Uplifting vibe, we felt so comfortable. The speciality: Okonomiyake that you cook on the hotplate in the center of tables. Well to be honest, I‘ve never liked Okonomiyake (lol), especially the Japanese mayonnaise. But I have to post a video showing how to cook it, because everybody loves Okonomiyake and I’m sure you will!

DISTRICT: HARAJUKU

Small Alley Near JR Shibuya Station

As recommended by the insider, Dan Ushikubo, I went to “a very small alley near the main exit of the JR Shibuya station, where salary men drink sake and have dinner after work. Less famous, but very local”. I had a dinner with a westerner friend, expat in Tokyo, in a tiny restaurant: great experience! The food was okay (lots of tofu). Go there for the local vibe!

I was a guest of the Grand Hyatt Tokyo and Park Hyatt Tokyo. Do I need to mention that all my opinions are mine? Yes they are!

Groovy Brussels: Dam Funk @ Café Bonnefooi

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TYf_qrw2WQ&feature=related]

Back to the real thing ! I love this sound : this moorning I discovered a blast in my e-mail box, Dam Funk, damned good! A DJ and a musician “made in L.A”., call him “the Ambassador”. Tonight he mixes in Brussels @ the Bonnefooi ! 1. Play the promo of one of his hits (sooooooooo difficult to make a choice between his singles). I’ve listened this one hundred times this afternoon. 2. Jump in your Boostsy  Collins blue glitters leggins. 3. @ midnight rush to the Bonnefooi, with your sexiest smile,  enjoy the sensual mix of the Ambassador and don’t leave the dancefloor even the moorning comes! Yeah babe, you’re beautiful and it’s summer time… Big up to u Marie ; )

Bruxelles groovy: Dam Funk ce soir au Bonnefooi

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TYf_qrw2WQ&feature=related]

Enfin de retour online ! Parce qu’il n’y a pas de mal à se faire beaucoup – très – beaucoup de bien : ce matin, en ouvrant ma boîte e-mail, je découvre une tuerie, un DJ musicien “made in L.A.”, Dam Funk, call him “the Ambassador”. Ce soir en concert à Bruxelles, au Bonnefooi ! 1. On joue la vidéo d’un de ses titres phares (il y en a tellement qu’impossible de mettre tous les liens, choix cornélien). Entre nous, je l’ai écouté minimum une bonne centaine de fois cette aprem. 2. On glisse dans sa panoplie Boostsy Collins revisitée light (ou on dévalise Les Filles à Papa pour des leggings paillettés 80’s). 3. On se pointe comme une funky fleur vers 23h-minuit, pour rayer le dancefloor all night long sur le mix sensuel de l’Ambassador. Comme un avant-goût des vacances à… Big up to u Marie ; )
