LIEU's risotto at lunch time

As you know, Parmigiano-Reggiano is a Italian cheese known as the "King of the cheese".
At LIEU we use Parmigiano-Reggiano-Millesimato, a higher ranked cheese made from a milk which are 100 days from birth of calf.
Millesimato maintain a higher nutritional value, very rich but tender taste.

Hotel Niwa Logo

Today, I'd like to talk about our Hotel Logo.


This square shaped graphic mark was inspired by a maze of alleys
in the Edo, the former name of Tokyo,
and it also depicts Kanji Character of "NIWA".

The word under the graphic mark means "Hotel Niwa"
in Japanese and it depicts modern Japan.
We used to write and read Japanese from right to left
during Meiji to early Showa era,
we dare designed it to read "Hotel Niwa" from the right.

At last, the English "HOTEL NIWA TOKYO" expresses
today's international city Tokyo.

All the images of "Tokyo" from the Edo to present are infused into this logo.
We really hope the guest can experience these images in our Hotel.    
 
We use four colors for logo , they are very soft and natural,
all came from Edo era.

Grill & Bar LIEU and Tsukuba ECO-FARM

We went to "Tsukuba ECO-FARM" at Tsukuba-City in Ibaraki prefecter to pick some red and white radishes which our staffs at Grill & Bar LIEU seeded the other day. It was beautiful early summer day, sunny but little bit hot, perfect weather for picking vegetables! 


The sign says "Hotel Niwa", two rows are for us!



We pick each of them by hand.

 

Then wash off the dirt from each of them by hand again...




Here are fresh and shiny red radishes!! 



 Radishes are gifts for Grill & Bar LIEU customers, but it would be grateful if you subscribe to the fund for Tohoku Kanto Earthquake and Tsunami Relief.
