Cafe

It was clear I did not speak Japanese, and the owners of were very kind in explaining in English that I could refill my rice ball bowl with as much red bean soup as I would like (I filled it twice, it was very good). When I ordere...

Everything is supermarket prepackaged quality: syrups, tea marmalades, canned red beans, bulk cookies. Cheap potent industrial sugars. Nothing is fresh. Do not come here for legitimate food, it’s...
