Tucked into a leafy
lane along the Megu-
ro River, Combine
feels rather like a
hidden gem. Reminis-
cent of a converted
loft, the industrial
concrete and alumi-
num interior is
tempered by velve-
teen chairs that
encourage lounging
and a marvelous
bookcase that domi-
nates the west wall.


Most of the books
are art and design
focused, and in
Japanese, but cus-
tomers are free to
browse at their
leisure. Large open
windows lend the
space an airy feel.
The afternoon crowd
is a mixed bag of
bookworms, impec-
cably dressed older
ladies, and the
requisite table of
fashion-industry
hipsters.

Lunch sets, avail-
able from noon-3pm,
change daily and
cost about Y1000
each. The ethnic-
inspired fare is
surprisingly healthy
and tasty. Seafood
pho comes loaded
with vegetables and
spiked with fried
garlic. Salads are
generously sprinkled
with cashews. Tea-
time runs until 6pm,
after which Combine
turns into a bar
serving food and
drinks until late.
