How do you pick a place to eat when you are in a new area? Do you look at menu at the front door, walk in, or try searching online? When I strolled around Ogikubo Station one cool, cloudy afternoon, I went a little off the beaten truck in search for a quiet lunch. Within just minutes I came across this place called Inazuma Café with had a clearly laid out, friendly bilingual menu which easily which covered my lunch wish list for the day (lasagna plus espresso!).
If that wasn’t enough the walls of the café were covered with authentic manga drawings featuring a plethora of popular Japanese characters. I’m not exactly a fan of Naruto or Doraemon and yet, I couldn’t help but appreciate the imaginative art and precision that went into the drawings. I thought if I ever owned a café in the future I too would love to have a display of a passionate hobby to share with those who come in. It’s an extra treat, free of charge.
