Akiko Hamaoka brings me my favorite bean cakes from Harajuku
Dear Shaded Viewers,
Always happy to see my Japanese producer, Akiko Hamaoka.
Bryan Boy in front of the hotel The Peninsula
Akiko, Bryan Boy and I went out to our favorite tea place, Cha Ginza by Uogashi Meicha then did a little shopping, had lunch and came back to the hotel to meet Alessio Vannetti from Prada to go over tomorrow's event. More than that I can not say other than it is bound to be a lot of fun and you can watch it live on www.prada.com.
First the koicha
Second Usucha
OUtside on the street there were long lines of people waiting to cast their ballots for the year's biggest lottery.
A little food shopping before lunch.
Later,
Diane
