Tokyo Shibuya-ku Udagawachou 3-3B1F

A French toast restaurant from Fukuoka located in the Udagawa-cho area of Shibuya City, Tokyo.

Served fresh from the pan and redolent with maple syrup, the shop's French toast is crisp on the outside and soft and moist on the inside.

Tokyo Chuou-ku Ginza 4-13-17 Takano Building 1F

A cafe located behind the Kabuki-za (theatre) in Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo. In addition to coffee and other drinks, the shop YOU serves cafe standards such as Napolitan spaghetti, curry, and sandwiches.

The cafe's food dishes are also available for takeout.

We really liked the food here. It’s very simple but delicious. The place is very small and unfortunately they allow smoking but luckily we were near the aircon so didn’t feel it as much.
