Labit Restaurant in Shibuya Tokyo


Went to this really unique restaurant in Shibuya the other day to celebrate the birthday of 2 very close friends of mine. It was about 10 mins walk from Shibuya station right after you turn the corner of a main street. Seems to be a bar in the night where they also serve lunch in the afternoons. It is called rabbit in japanese, but the english name is in 'Labit'. The interiors are a mixed of rabbits items & old english interiors. Gives you a little fantasy going up the stairs, bringing you back to the old days of childhood dreams.
Food were also served in a very unique way, having it beautifully decorated. I'm not so in to my main dish which was grilled fish. But the first plates were awlsome. Most of them were made with avocado, combination of western and japanese. Like the avocado tofu mousse that goes with the soya sauce and salted cod roe mixed with mashed potatos were so great that inspired me to try to make some myself too!! I think atmosphere also counts a lot for a good meal, where we did spend hours enjoying the food and the little lady talks!! Well, I think I must start up with the re-decoration on my house too!!

Tamotsu Funakoshi




A friend of my husband's parents had held an exhibition at Toutouan. Tamotsu Funakoshi, a ceramic artist. I'm not at all a fan of potteries, but I like his work that is unsymmetry in shape which gives you a very natural mood.

Toutouan is a tradtional japanese restaurant that our family love. Very traditional food and the building is very beautiful filled with spirit!
