    Last week I moblogged my visit to the DCROSS cafe in Marunouchi (near Maru Biru), and I got word a few days later that the cafe is actually closing down at the end of the month. The thing is, it’s the Mitsubishi Electric company (sponsor of the cafe) who is moving their offices to the…

    Remember Kissa Ginza, a place I checked out in Ebisu a while back (the picture in this post is the one I originally posted) and quite liked? The cafe/bar has a website, which I got from Toe’s site — she’s also a fan.

    Kotaku has just posted this rendering of what the Xbox Lounge in Aoyama (to open November 2) will look like. I do like the openness of it. Update (16/09/04): The image is no longer available.

    More info on the Omotesando Xbox Lounge, currently under construction. The Xbox Lounge, a stylish building Microsoft has set up in Tokyo to attract Japanese gamers, will open its doors to the public on the 2nd of November. The Lounge will be filled with – you guessed it – Xbox 360 kiosks, as well as…

    I owe you a post on the Swedish Style events I’m organizing at Cafe Pause in Ikebukuro with NCM (more specifically, with good ol’ Jesper), and unfortunately I’ve been hit with the flu and I’m just not feeling at all like sitting in front of the computer — there’s also a “This Week in Magazines”…

    A while back, Yuki had recommended a bunch of cafes to me in the Waseda area, and when I stopped in Takadanobaba tonight to visit Craig, we ended up at the Cafe Retro (after some delicious Indian curry — the name of the restaurant escapes me right now). It’s a rather nice place, with a…

  • The Return of Bape Cafe

    If you go to the official Bape site, you can download a nice little flash app (works on PCs and Macs) that contains a few Bape-related news items. The biggest thing — and something I was not aware of — is that the Bape Cafe re-opened at a new location last month. It’s now located…

    I very rarely have bad experiences in Tokyo, but last night’s outing to the a-bridge cafe/bar in Sangenjaya left a bad taste in my mouth. I went there, a place I’ve been to a few times, to get a few pics for a piece I was going to write for a German magazine, and brought…

    I spotted this nice-looking cafe the other day in Aoyama, but didn’t have time to go in for a drink. It’s on the road that leads to the Maisen restaurant.
