Went for lunch at the newly-opened (last month) Excelsior Caffe at Nihon Daigaku in Ochanomizu. Beautiful spacious shop with a slightly European feel. After lunch, started reading Werner Herzog’s memoir (the original German version). The man knows how to tell stories, not only as a filmmaker.

Happy Sunday to all! Just made a quick post on my leaflet.pub blog about today's lunch at "Higu Bagel", a shop that's just a 10-minute bicycle ride from our place.

Hello from Tokyo! Today is Green Day, the first of the “Golden Week” holidays in Japan this week. For lunch, the wife and I went - fittingly - to “greenCAFÉ” in the Tokiwadai area of Itabashi Ward. Buckwheat galette (with bamboo sprouts, blue cheese, egg, ham) and iced coffee. 👍

Today’s one-plate lunch at “Little Bean Works”, my favorite neighborhood cafe. Okra, ham & peperoncino pasta, chicken rice and salad. Followed by an iced Caffe Latte and a Basque cheesecake. Life is good. 😌

Tokyo Sunday, Dec 7, 2025

Went to Nishi-Shinjuku, where after a cafe lunch & dessert, we enjoyed an exhibition of Maurice Utrillo paintings at the Sompo Museum of Art. Later, some Christmas decorations/ illumination in a nearby building.

Hi from Tokyo! For an outside lunch on today’s bank holiday (Autumn Equinox), we went to “Akabane Cafe にじいろのひつじ”, 10 minutes by bike from where I live. Shkmeruli (Georgian garlic chicken), coffee and sweet potato chiffon cake all hit the spot. 👍

Happy Monday from Tokyo!

Today is a bank holiday in Japan. It’s also relentlessly hot, but we went for lunch at “Sol’s Coffee Apartment”, a cafe located on the 2nd floor of a residential building a few bus stops south from our place. Croque Madame & Caffe Latte. 😋

Scorching hot weather in Tokyo today - so I didn’t feel like doing much more than go to “cafe arica”, my happy place in the Tokiwadai area of Itabashi Ward. The Gazpacho, Piadina, Tiramisu and Caffe Latte all hit the spot. 😋

I recently went to this old-school coffee shop in my area, “Caffe Bernini”. Iwasaki-san and his son run this gem of a place, in which they make, sell and brew their own roasts. See ALT texts.

After the drumming lesson, a delightful lunch at “cafe chocotto” in Komagome, Tokyo, followed by a short stroll through the decidedly retro-style Shimofuri Shopping Street.

I had free-drink tickets for "Excelsior Caffe" that were about to expire - can‘t let that happen, so we went for a cafe lunch & dessert. Also made some reading time (German version of Stieg Larsson‘s first "Millennium" book)

Today’s lunch in our neighborhood at “little bean works” in Azusawa, Itabashi Ward. Main dish was carbohydrates to the power of two, but delicious nonetheless - followed by Caffe Latte & cheesecake.

Café Lunch; Feb 23, 2025

“cafe arica” in Tokiwadai, Itabashi, is a favorite Tokyo spot, and we went for a relaxed late lunch today. Main dish was Piadina, followed by a delicious Tiramisù and a great Latte. ☕️

“Café Lexcel” in the basement of the Tokyo International Forum in Yūrakuchō did a pretty good job today delivering the Hōjicha roll cake exactly as specified on their ad 🤞 (both cake and coffee were delicious).

Neighborhood Lunch; Dec 27, 2024

Went to “coffee and dining 自由自在” for a delicious set lunch, and had a simple blend coffee & donut at the shopping center. Happy and full. Life is good 😇

Today’s healthy and tasty lunch at one of our favorite local shops, “coffee and dining 自由自在”. A reasonably priced set meal with a variety of fresh seasonal ingredients.

“finn coffee”, Sagamihara

I had to go to an appointment in Machida today, and afterwards, my wife and I explored the area around Hashimoto Station in Sagamihara, Kanagawa. We found this café with interesting interior decoration, nice sweets and a killer Latte. 😎☕️

“cafe arica”, Tokiwadai

Today we went to this place in Tokyo’s Itabashi Ward, one of my favorite lunchtime spots. From their simple but delicious lunch menu, I had the Piadina, followed by a Caffe Latte and - I said it before, but I will say it again - one of the city’s best Tiramisus.

First-time visit this afternoon to “Take it easy COFFEE”, a shop that opened earlier this year in the Shimo-Akatsuka area of Tokyo’s Itabashi Ward. The iced Soy Latte from their home-roasted espresso blend was quite satisfying, and the accompanying chocolate chip cookie provided a nice, not overly sweet balance. ☕️🍪

Nezu Coffee

Wrapping up my small series of posts from the visit to Tokyo’s Nezu area last Sunday, here are a few impressions from “Matcha & Espresso Miyano-Yu”, a café uniquely located in a renovated and re-purposed former sentō (communal bathhouse). Their specialty are matcha drinks, but I went with a Flat White coffee which wasn’t too shabby either. ☕️

Nezu Lunch

Following up on my previous post that introduced the Nezu area in Tokyo, this post is about yesterday’s lunch spot: “kitchen haco cafe”, a small but spacious restaurant in a nicely renovated old building. The “Chicken and burdock root rice set” made for a tasty, healthy and very reasonably priced meal.

Pour une fois que je remets les « pieds » sur Twitter, c’est pour lire Marcus annonçant le décès de Suzuka. Tristesse. #Nolife #TokyoCafe

“ÅTER Tokyo”

Occasionally skimming Google Maps for (North) European shops in Tokyo, I recently came across a Swedish cafe in Higashi-Ōjima (Koto Ward). Last Saturday, we went there for lunch and quite liked it. The food (hot dogs and cardamom rolls) and coffee were good, and the location by the Kyunaka River is really nice.

Siphon Coffee in the making today at my local Coffee-Kan (珈琲館) in the Maenochō area of Itabashi Ward.

Onigiri lunch today at 板五米店 (Itago Kometen), followed by a dessert of Panna Cotta and coffee. This restaurant/café is located in a beautifully renovated traditional building along the Old Nakasendō in Itabashi Ward (a short walk from Itabashikuyakushomae Station on the Mita Line).

"Uno Cafe" near Katori Jingū is a place that we had discovered on our first visit last year. Established in 1937, the place has a quirky and unique interior that feels very homely. Their specialty sweets are Kusadango, and they make an absolute banger of a Caffe Latte from their own roast (I brought back a small bag to enjoy their flavorful coffee at home over the next couple of days). ☕️
