Anisona Cafe

Hi hi sisters ... hope you have an enjoyable weekend. Last week, moichan invited cloudnine and I to join her for lunch with a visiting sister 'Baeby'. Hehe where else? Appropriately Gosireh! Since we are all familiar with Yong Joon's favourite place in Tokyo already, so I won't elaborate anymore. Gosireh still looks as beautiful and elegant as ever, except it's not as bustling when Yonsama isn't in town :)

Wonder if this is what the Korea First lady mentioned - Tanpyeonchae? The bean jello mixed with vegetables rice bowl, the waitress said it's very healthy and has detoxification value. Well, so far I had this lunch set 3 times already, how come I don't feel my BYJ virus is getting any weaker?

The pretty umiji cha :)

I didn't know Baeby before as she is more active in KOB. She lives in Hong Kong, but she had studied and lived in Canada for many years. Well to me, she is a fellow Canadian alright! She is very easy to converse with and her mannerism projects intelligence and grace. When moichan suggested that we moved to Anisona Cafe for coffee, how could I refuse?

WLS Anime Cafe (Anisona Cafe) is located on the rooftop of Matsuzakaya Department Store in Ginza. It is a temporary set up during the run of Winter Sonata Anime on DATV. Hehe, you notice the thick blanket on the back of the chair? Japanese restaurants usually have these blankets and giant heaters to warm up their outdoor customers during winter.


Looks familiar? Hehe, now you know why I post the first Gosireh picture, huh? The cafe just recreated this at the entrance. Not sure how real it is, should have walked up and examined it @@

But no time la, look who's sitting there starring at us?! Of course, we all ran over and stuck our heads around MinHyung. Hehe, I think certain features in this figure quite resemble our prince, even has pretty long eyelashes like him @@ To confess, I actually felt very conscious and even shy standing close to him, a plaster figure! How silly of me :)

There are displays of the Animated paintings all around the cafe. A quiet corner displaying some of the original concept paintings of the Anime
Hehe, no introduction necessary, right? Baeby and I were admiring how tall and broad Yong Joon must be! Oh oh, we even found 1 long and 1 short golden brown hair on JunSang's stripes scarf! For a few seconds, we were so excited thinking it was Yong Joon's hair! But sigh, JunSang's hair was black, and besides, after so many exhibitions and transports, how could Yong Joon's hair still stick on the knitted scarf? So disappointed!


Recognize these ones? Yes, from Sukapa TV commercials. Btw, for sisters who came for the Tokyo Dome events, you must have seen these in the WLS Anime Exhibition in Ikebukuro Sunshine City, eh?

The staffs were very understanding and had been patiently waiting for us to sit down at a table. By now, they must be accustomed to seeing these 'devoted' ajummas drooling over someone's figure, animated portraits, even clothes! Haha, only for Yonsama! Baeby ordered a 'honey and date' tea (came with a BYJ chocolate, see it?) and a sweet potato dessert, looked so good!


There are some Anime merchandise for sale, interesting bookmarks and notepads.
Yes, those yummy chocolates too! But who wants to eat with Yong Joon's face on it? Sweet love Vs sweet tooth, tough decision!

The box itself is a keeper! As you can see, we stayed until quite dark but we have our 'motherly and housewifey' responsibilities to return to, so we had to say goodbye to each other.

This is the beauty of Bae friendship : we all have our routine lives and challenges, BUT for one particular afternoon, we transform ourselves into young princesses getting together to share our crush for the same handsome prince boy whom we all secretly admire. Then when the clock strikes, we shed our beautiful ballgowns and gratifyingly return to reality. No complain, having the luxury to fantasize is already a blessing!

It was truly an enjoyable afternoon. Thank you for reading, my dear Bae sisters :)
