This multi-purpose
art space/cafe-bar
is way off the beat-
en track but it
draws a crowd of
loyal regulars,
including personal-
ities from the Tokyo
art scene and local
hipsters.

The incense-hazed CD
shop up front is
well-stocked in
obscure avant-garde
music from the past
two decades; just
past that is a re-
tail corner selling
videos, artsy toys,
mens' hats and art
magazines. In back
is a gallery, and in
between is a spa-
cious cafe-bar area.

During the day
you'll find standard
cafe lunches (pas-
tas, curries) served
till 6pm, plus gour-
met coffees - they
roast their own
beans once a week.
At night there's a
bigger cafe food
menu plus wide-rang-
ing cocktails (150
kinds of drinks in
all); beers include
the excellent Edel-
pils on tap for
Y850/pint. The wall
of vinyl records
spans everything
from contemporary
classical to obscure
folk music, but
tends toward the
mellow end of the
spectrum in the
evenings.
