I wrote HERE about Asakusa and told you that I’m not going there that much except for a special purpose. Well, Hotarudo is one of these special purposes bringing me to Asakusa. Around Tokyo you can find a bunch of stores where you can get […]
Roppongi is sometimes underrated when it comes to kissaten. However, there are few nice places around that didn’t change for decades. Kaffa Bunna is one of those. I came here few times and I fully enjoyed every time. Even if I tend to like kitsch […]
Hakushaku has two kissaten in Ikebukuro, one at the north exit of the train station and the other one at the east exit. Even if the north exit one has a very nice ceiling, I tend to prefer the east one, smaller, more intimate. It’s […]
I really wondered to myself if I should write about Kayaba or not here as I consider it being an hybrid café, combining kissaten feeling and trendy café menu… The cute wooden building was built in 1916 (Taisho 5) and used to be a store […]

Few weeks ago, I wanted to introduce a very special place to my friends from Futatabi who are back to Japan now! They love dango as much as me, so Habutae was the perfect spot to eat some while gazing at a cute small Japanese […]
Around Meguro station you can find a bunch of Starbucks, St Marc café and Doutor. Among all of them, a simple small old café: Itoh-ya, one of my favorite spot for a good filling-you-up breakfast with delicious coffee. We are for from the showy flamboyant […]
