Tokyo has an endless selection of unique and creative cafes. To continue “Japan By Food’s periodic feature of some of Tokyo’s best, join Shizuka as she visits two calming cafes you can take advantage of if you find yourself needing a breather in bustling Tokyo!

First, she heads to the Koenji neighborhood, where she visits Pottercafe – a homey cafe with an animal and coffee-loving, creative owner who makes everything from scratch and where guests can take some time to chill with delicious homemade food and pottery painting.

Then, trek to Ueno on the other side of Tokyo to visit Mominoki House, a cafe concept that combines footbath, massage and natural foods to help cool the mind, and warm both the body and heart.

So, if you’re reading this, take a pause, sit back and relax with Shizuka on this unique cafe tour!

    Shizuka, that plate you made looks adorable🌻🐝

    I would regularly visit a massage cafe! I move 500+ lb 747/777 wheels and aircraft parts at LAX but ironically I have pretty bad neck/shoulder pain from using a keyboard/mouse all day.

    Love you Shuzika! So relatable and love how you describe the food because you actually tell us what it tastes like. Thank you for taking us with you!

    This made me miss my painting days when I was still a fine arts student a decade ago. Really chill vibes!
  • @SOAR-OF-AVEM
    This is so cool! Wow, these innovative diner's/message parlors are incredible. A little "tight space" for someone "big body" but the chance to eat then then get a message is incredible! Two thumbs up on this tour!👍👍
