Their sign are displayed and we can take pictures too. It's very precious chance for us. I enjoyed shopping.

OSECHI
OTOSHIDAMA
"Otoshidama" is one of the customs of New Year in Japan. Orginally, "Otoshidama" is a thing that is exchanged presents in celebration of New Year. Now, "Otoshidama" is money that is given for children and this behavior is called "Otoshidama". It is given for a person of lesser rank from a person who outranks him or her. It is difference with a year-end gift. It is usually in a gift envelope. "Otoshidama" is delight and an important source of income for children.

THE NEW YEAR'S DECORATIONS

I introduce "Kagamimochi" this time. It usually consists of two round mochi (rise cakes), the smaller placed atop the larger, and a "Daidai" (a Japanese bitter orange) with an attached leaf on top. It is called "Kagamimochi" because it has similar shape with old mirror. It's placed on a tokonoma and suitable time is December 28 because "8" is good number in Japan. We will do "Kagami-biraki" that is a Japanese traditional ceremony in January 11. We break mochi with our hands or a wooden hammer without knife because knife is suggestive of hara-kiri. The opened mochi is become "Siruko" and "Zouni".
THE NEW YEAR'S DECORATIONS
Happy New Year!
The New Year's decorations is distinctive in Japan. I want to introduce them.
At first, I introduce "Kadomatsu". That are placed in pairs in front of homes supposedly to welcome ancestral spirits or god of harvest. "Kadomatsu" are placed after Christmas until January 7 or 15. The central portion of the "Kadomatsu" is formed three large banboos. It similar to Japanese flower arrangement. The banboos set at different hights and represent heaven, humanity and earth with heaven being the highest and earth being the lowest. But some "Kadomatsu" set the humanity and earth banboos at the same hight. "Kadomatsu" is traditional New Year's decorations but we can't see much now.

VIE DE FRANCE
I work in "VIE DE FRANCE" that is bakery chain. The concept is "momentary French style in everyday". The shop was imaged to cafe of France. I work in the shop that is the station at a block of office buildings. Because of that, my shop is congested in morning and lunch-time. I usually work there in morning and often lunch-time. It likes a battlefield! This job is hard but I enjoy my job. A number 1 hot item is "Angel soft". There is cream cheese in soft bread with apple. It's fresh-baked is very soft and hot. It is very delicious. I didn't eat bread of my shop but recently I eat bread of my shop. I can have attachment for breads more.
