Paris Tokyo cantine

Hier soir/last night I went to an opening...
Have you ever wanted to look into the dome of department store BHV like this girl? I have...
Just go up to the 5th floor for Japanese tapas in their new cantine. The views are great!
Economi yaki omlettes with those wood shavings on top = delish!
And my absolute favorite little egg custards in mini cups with a big shrimp inside...what's the name of this? I know you'll know it. I haven't had this since Japan...so hard to find in NYC...
Of course the Sake was flowing thanks to Sakeologist M.Toshiro Kuroda. they broke open a special cask right then and there with a  smashing of mallets on the lid...
I loved the decorative fan designs around the casks...
Which reminded me of this Pub Art exhibit at musee des arts decorative...
Everyone was dancing happily from the sake too
This girl was appropriately 'dressed' with tattoos of adorable TOTORO on her back...
Paper-thin omelettes were made on the spot. There will be a Manga bar and lecons in drawing manga cartoons with Kaori Yoshikawa later on...TBA
Desserts of course c/o master pastry chef Sadaharu Aoki.
We tasted perfect bite-sized pieces of these 6-layered delights. Plus an ice cream chaser of mango and vanilla I forgot to upload...how could I forget the ice cream(by Pedone)!? And green Sencha tea from the divine Thes Jigetsudo. Tea ceremony classes too at the cantine.
what to wear to the new cantine on the 5th? Just pick something out of BHV's vitrine of course!
