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. 😌

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)

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. ☕️

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).

During last weekend’s trip to Karuizawa in Nagano Prefecture, this was the Sunday lunch spot: “Cafe Suzunone” in Kyū-Karuizawa, smack dab in the middle of the forest. Atmospheric place with pretty good food.
