The food above is fake, it's called サンプル (sample) and you see it everywhere in front of restaurants and cafes in Japan.

View from the Park Hyatt's New York bar

So recently I've been up to interesting (read: getting drunk) things on Sundays, last weekend I went with some friends to the New York bar in the Park Hyatt Hotel to listen to some jazz (I'm so classy I can't even handle it). The hotel and the bar are used in the film Lost in Translation so it was pretty exciting to visit, plus the views were insane. Also while we were there Nicola Formichetti (Gaga's ex stylist and creative director of Diesel) walked in for dinner! He was also joined by Kiko Mizuhara who is G-Dragon from Big Bang's (Kpop band) girlfriend and a really popular model in Japan - not bad for a celeb sighting imo.

This weekend that just passed my friend and I spent some time in Kichijouji which is a up and coming 'trendy' spot in Tokyo, it has a lot of nice shops and bars and usually we go there for karaoke. We were actually searching for locations to do a photo shoot which had a kind of tacky/run down vibe to it so I got some interesting reference photos. Continuing the fun Sundays theme, I also went to a Tinder hosted rooftop party in Odaiba yesterday which was pretty interesting. It was windy as hell and they had girls in neon bikinis pole dancing on a pole which was swaying dangerously in said wind, and we were also given a lot of free vodka/gin/tequila so needless to say I didn't go to class this morning...

Let me know if you guys like these sort of Japan posts interesting! xx

I love posts like these! Tokyo looks incredible, always love seeing peoples' adventures there :) The Park Hyatt Hotel would be amazing to visit, and good job on the celeb sightings!

I am one step closer to living in Japan myself, might be getting a job somewhere (probs not Tokyo wah) as an English teacher as soon as August! Eee!

Thank you! Ahh so exciting! Are you going through the JET program? I heard it is kinda hard to be placed in Tokyo if you're teaching, but the Japanese countryside will give you such a 'proper' Japan experience! xx

Alex said...

It's with Interac :) The JET application doesn't open until October and is such a looong process, but within two weeks I submitted an application, had a phone interview and got invited to a seminar with Interac! I suppose Tokyo will always be that much closer wherever I may be placed! xx

Georgie said...

Ooh I haven't heard of them, I'll have a look! I did hear JET is a massive hooha sorting it all out so I imagine Interac are better! xx

I'm amazed at how real the fake food looks and how yummy the Shu Cream seems. Ha, I'm sensing a theme here - think I'm a little hungry. Anywho, great post. Tokyo looks like the type of place that you need to visit at least once! x

The fake food is crazy real looking, the amount of detail they put into it is insane! Tokyo is definitely a bucket list destination :)
