第5回東京蚤の市: Blancway Tea Store

少し前に 東京オーヴァル京王閣で行われた
第5回東京蚤の市で友達のちあきさんのお店のお手伝いをさせてもらいました。

A little while back I participated in the 5^th Tokyo Flea Market (東京蚤の市) held in Keioukaku Velodrome (京王閣, also known as Tokyo Oval Keiokaku) together with my friend Chiaki, who was displaying products from her store Blancway.

Nordic Tea

彼女は二年前に自分のお店をオープンして、渋谷で高級な北欧紅茶や北欧グッズを販売しています。今回の蚤の市では紅茶を中心に販売しており、なかでもスウェーデン王室御用達ノーベル賞晩餐会で饗される希少な紅茶も取り扱っていました。

Chiaki opened up her own store two years ago, and now she is selling Nordic tea and Nordic goods in Shibuya. Her main product for the stand at Tokyo Flea Market was Swedish tea, and she had among other things brought with her tea that is served at the Nobel Banquet.

人気を集めている北欧紅茶

私が東京蚤の市に参加させてもらったのは二日目でしたが、Blancwayはかなりお客さんの注目を集めており既に売り切れになっていた紅茶もありました。

 I participated on the second day of the flea market, and by then there was already a number of her products that had been sold out.

お店でお手伝いできる機会はなかなか無いので楽しい一日でした。商品の説明をすることも楽しいですが、やっぱり自分の日本語は商品を説明するにはまだまだ足りないなぁという感覚もありました。これからも言語頑張らないとなぁ・・

I had a lot of fun helping out selling tea at the flea market. But although it is interesting to talk about the different types of teas to the customers it is hard to be able to properly explain the technical details related to the tea in Japanese. I guess I have to keep on working to improve my language skills..!

Cute Swedish tea houses

ちあきさんは渋谷に北欧専門店を持っています。そこで北欧デザインの物や北欧紅茶を販売しています。宜しければ是非彼女のホームページや楽天ページをご覧になってください(^_^)／
