  • Margo

    A few more shots of the Margo cafe in Yutenji. I also wrote a post about it at Gridskipper the other day.

  • Deux et Neuf Cafe

    A few days ago I dropped by the Deux et Neuf Cafe, next door to Conceal Cafe (literally) in Shibuya. Deux et Neuf is actually more of a bistro, so it complements Conceal quite well. The two spots have become my favorite destinations in Shibuya.
