Our favourite travel agent in Asia, Sébastien Duval, just discovered the Panda Café in Tokyo’s Taito ward while exploring Asakusa area on foot. He strongly recommended us this great coffee shop (and restaurant) near Tawaramachi subway station notably for its small terrace, delicious desserts shaped like animals, and exciting room for children upstairs!
Interested? Learn about Panda Café on Inner Japan‘s new page: “ぱんだカフェ (Panda Café)“.
I am preparing Inner Japan Web pages and printable PDF documents to support Japanese people welcoming foreign visitors in Japan: staff at ports and airports, train/subway stations, bus/ferry terminals, taxi companies, hotels and ryokans, homes and B&Bs, restaurants and bars, coffee shops and teahouses, convenience stores, supermarkets, departments stores, souvenir/gift shops, specialist shops, temples and shrines, museums and galleries, movie theatres, police stations, hospitals… Foreigners’ life, work and travel in Japan should become easier and more enjoyable 
To start, I am listing sentences in Japanese, English and French to use at souvenir/gift shops and restaurants. The PDF documents will be available online for free on the “Welcome foreigners!” project page of Inner Japan Website.
If you wish to promote Japan, its culture or local events/activities, You are welcome to contact me to discuss the next steps of this new project!
I lunched at Muusa (Tokyo) today, savouring a French quiche prepared with spinach, bacon and potatoes by TSUGAWA Sachiko and her assistant. Afterwards, I enjoyed 3 slices of strawberry crepe roll offered by Sachiko to celebrate the first business anniversary of Muusa Wonderful surprise and great taste!
Why not enjoy a delicious quiche or sweet during your next lunch in Tokyo’s Chiyoda ward?
I lunched at Muusa (Tokyo) today, savouring a pork stew prepared with dark beer and red tomatoes by TSUGAWA Sachiko and her assistant. It was sooo soft!
Why not taste this delicious pork stew at lunch the next time you visit Tokyo’s Chiyoda district?
I just had a sweet break at Muusa (Tokyo) with two colleagues from Osanpo Jimbocho, savouring a French galette prepared with chocolate and raspberry by TSUGAWA Sachiko. It was as good as it looks nice on the photos
I am glad I asked Sachiko to prepare what she felt like cooking this time: this delicious chocolate & raspberry galette is not on the menu…
Eating delicious Japanese food was a great way to end a busy successful week of work so I ate twice at Nago café (Tokyo) this Friday!
For lunch, NASHIRO Tsugumi cooked a delicious omelette containing goya (from Okinawa) and cheese, topped with a spicy tomato sauce. The set also included a soup with sesame oil, seaweeds, white rice, hot coffee, and a tiny slice of tankan (orange) pound cake.
For dinner, Tsugumi cooked a potato potage topped with banno-negi (onion) and surprising pork rolls containing bell pepper, green beans or okra.
I learn new things about Japanese food and/or international cooking every time I go to this restaurant; these dishes are perfect examples!
Having lunch at Nago café today, I had the good surprise to meet for the first time a sympathetic Japanese girl named MIYAGI Sanami who made seashell decorations for this Okinawan restaurant in Tokyo. Freelance artist, Sanami just spent a few hours on her creation but doesn’t it add a great touch to the place? These cute Made in Chiba decorations reminded me of artworks I saw on several islands of Okinawa archipelago… Big success!
Note: I enjoyed as usual the delicious Okinawan food cooked by Mr. NASHIRO Tsugumi
Special thanks to MIYAGI Sanami for the nice chat in Japanese and for allowing me to use her photo.
