Japan Restaurants
Jinmin Cafe
2002-12-08

One day I had to go to the immigration office.  There happens to be one in Shibuya which most foreigners seem not to know about which means it's less crowded.  Afterwords I thought I'd wander around and try to find a place for lunch and I stumbled upon this little cafe.  The Jinmin Cafe.

Organic Cafe
2002-11-14

I absolutely hate Starbucks!!  There, I said it.  Actually that's not true but I never go into a Starbucks unless someone else is doing the deciding.  The reason is it's so bland.  I see going to Starbucks about as interesting as going to Mc Donalds which I also tend to avoid.  I would much much rather go some place with some atmosphere, something I can't get any place else.  Something unique.  Which brings up the Organic Cafe

Daddy's
2002-10-14

Daddy's is listed as a cafe.  I guess that makes it less formal than a restaurant.  Maybe it was just because it was at night and the lights were dim that it didn't seem to have that cafe ambience so maybe I'll have to try it again in the day considering it's only 5 minutes from where I work.

T.Y. Harbor Brewery
2002-10-07

I see ads for this places constantly in Metropolis magazine and then I also saw it in a very photo oriented restaurant guide so I thought I'd check it out

Soho's
2002-09-29

Just this year they finished putting up this new building in the center of Harajuku.  The building is about 8 stories tall but each story is 2 stories high with giant glass windows and the whole front of the building is circular like a barrel lying on its side.
