was just in tokyo last weekend on the way back home to chicago…the japanese definitely have a flair for presentation and packaging…had a simple tempura meal with such a lovely presentation, i hesitated before digging into it :)

I think the cutest are those Japanese bento boxes and accessories! I agree about the packaging & Japanese origami papers!

The edamame key chain is cute. Seems like a lot of work and thought was put into making such a tiny thing. Great neighbor.

cute stuff! discovered aoki a few yrs ago when he opened his tea house/patisserie in the 6eme. his take on traditional french pastries isn’t as visually sharp but the flavors are so unique. favorites duomo macha azuki, black sesame eclairs & flan sesame eclairs make great presents and dinner treat(have turned on quite a few frenchies who had been unfamiliar with aoki). best part is that the pastries are NOT cloyingly sweet. never went back to p. herme after..

Sadaharuâ€™s chocolate ganache has a mirror finish and stay beautiful even in a roaring 100-degree temperature. Japanese pride themselves with their gift wrapping and packaging. It is an art to them. Look at their Ikebana arrangement only a handful of flowers and has all the elements of a good visual perfection right in there.
