Tea Set Display, again, they are models....
My favorite place in my Japan trip is visiting Tokyo MidTown. The subway exit goes directly into MidTown, so you don't have to get out into the cold to get there. Aside from brand name shops and specialty stores, there is this nice cafe that I went.
The entrance looked more like a jewelry store than a cafe. Tall vases of white calla lilies sat atop tall displays of all kinds of sweets imaginable, from cookies, chocolates to cakes and pastries. The display is certainly a feast for the eyes. When my order of cappuccino arrived, the foam came as a heart shaped design. It looked so nice I didn't want to dip my spoon into it and stir.
The whole ambience and presentation gave the impression that the food and drinks were to be appreciated as gems in their own right. I guess this is the best representation of appreciation with all your senses, visual, smell and taste.

i love japan too!日本人對很多東西都很有要求,包括食物,只是其包裝,已經非常吸引,而且具心思。我喜歡去日本,其中一個原因係可以吸納其特別的思維,參考其創意的design,既可以欣賞別人的設計,又可以加增自己的靈感!

Oh Aoki is very famous? Hehe, I didn't know. I am very behind in a lot of places in HK. If I were not a tourist in Japan, I wouldn't have looked in guide books and found the place. :p
