Tokyo's greatest café
If you get off at Tokyo JR Station (Marunouchi exit) and walk a few minutes towards the Imperial Palace you will find the Dragonfly Café on your left. It’s my all-time favorite café in Tokyo.
It consists of a light and airy room with untreated board flooring, white walls and it is high up to the ceiling. They have several lamps made out of old glass bottles and simple but nicely design furniture.
The food is a mix between traditional Japanese food and Western food. You can get a huge rice bowl with grilled meat and tomatoes for 1000 Yen (typ 65 kr). They have a superb blood orange juice and the desserts – I almost forgot – how great they are. You can get a piece of apple and sweet potato cake or just a plain cop of tea if you prefer something simple. Just writing this makes my mouth watering. I have to go there soon – what about this Saturday?
