		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve ever spent any time clothes shopping in Japan, you no doubt would have come across the incredibly popular Japanese fashion chain COMME CA ISM.
As the name implies, Cafe Comme Ca is spin-off of the main brand that focuses entirely on being a cafe though does retain the aesthetics of the original clothing stores (think white, lots of white) in an attempt to evolve the company name from purely a fashion label to more of an entire lifestyle brand.
While there are several salad and pasta sets, the main focus at Cafe Comme Ca is definitely the cakes and tarts with an absolute huge selection to choose from. The entire menu is entirely in Japanese and can be quite confusing to understand even if you bring a Japanese person along with you to help ordering. 
 Despite the menu presenting entire cakes, your order thankfully contains just a slice of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tucked away within the first floor of the giant Mitsukoshi shopping complex, Denmark The Royal Cafe offers a quiet escape from the numerous shoppers that swamp Ginza on a daily basis though you may find that a lot of those shoppers also have the same urge for escape that you do when you visit which could result in a wait time ranging from five to fifteen minutes depending on the day.
The entire cafe has a very modern design though despite the cafe&#8217;s name, has very little to do with Denmark and appears more like the average Tokyo cafe that&#8217;s chosen to focus on a light theme rather than an authentic cultural and culinary experience.  
 This isn&#8217;t to say Denmark The Royal cafe is necessarily bad. It just has a different focus than one might expect at first glance.
The menu has a very Japanese vibe in spite of the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conanoca Cafe is a lovely little cafe hidden within the rather large Roppongi Hills complex. In fact it&#8217;s so well hidden that in the eight or so years that I&#8217;ve regularly been visiting Roppongi Hills I was completely unaware of it&#8217;s existence until I recently discovered it on the Roppongi Hills website while searching for a new smoke free cafe to check out.
It&#8217;s secluded location really is unfortunate as it sells by far some of the best tasting scones I&#8217;ve ever eaten in Japan, or elsewhere for that matter. All the scones, which are Conanoco Cafe&#8217;s speciality, are freshly bakes on location with over fifteen different varieties to choose from ranging from vanilla to salmon and cream cheese. 
Each scone is quite small (a bit smaller than an Oreo) and priced between 100 and 200 yen each which may sound quite expensive at first but believe me when I say ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Le Cafe Mamie is a quaint cafe in Meguro (itself a really nice area full of interesting shops and restaurants) that claims to be heavily inspired by French culture and cuisine, though to be honest I wouldn&#8217;t have guessed it was French themed had I not noticed some of the French movie posters and artworks on the wall. 
The menu consists of your typical Tokyo cafe food choices such as pasta, salads, sandwiches and even a Thai curry with the only real French food on the menu  being the ratatouille and croissant. The dessert and drink menus follow a similar pattern with the occasional French addition but for the most part quite standard selection.

This isn&#8217;t to say anything on the menu is bad, it&#8217;s just that if you&#8217;re after some authentic French culinary experiences you may be disappointed.
During my visit I ended up choosing the carbonara (900 yen) and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This rather nice chocolate themed cafe is one of many Lindt outlets both worldwide and in Japan. The focus is of course on chocolate based drinks and upselling their own brand of chocolates which of course can be purchased in store but there are also coffee and cakes available too.

We ordered an iced chocolate and a hot coffee and while the iced chocolate was rather impressive the coffee disappointed due to the fact that it was made via a push button machine and tasted like it had come from one.  
The cakes on the other hand were superb though a little on the rich side. 
Having said that though, we more than happily finished our selections and were very tempted to get seconds.
The drink and cake set us back around 1000 yen each and the quality was rather good when it came to the chocolate but if you&#8217;re after ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I accidentally stumbled across Hatake Mame Hico Taipei while searching for it&#8217;s sister cafe, Cafe Mame Hico Shibuya which is actually located just around the corner. 
While Cafe Mame Hico Shibuya is very much a cafe heavily influenced by Western aesthetics, Hatake Mame Hico Taipei on the other hand is inspired by both Japanese and Chinese cultures with a little quirky modern twist. 
The entire space is very warm and intimate and made all the more intriguing due to the design choice of hanging completely naked light bulbs from the ceiling which create an almost magical atmosphere.
Be careful though as some of these bulbs hang at head level and could also easily become a distraction for any children present.
There is a huge selection of Japanese and Chinese dishes on offer as well as a good selection of coffees, teas and alcoholic beverages.
The entire menu is in fairly advanced Japanese though ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I&#8217;ve very much made the shift to Kindle ebooks for the majority of my reading, I am still a huge fan of physical book stores especially those that offer something more such as an original design and a nice cafe such as this one.
Despite all of the books and magazines being Japanese I really enjoyed just walking around Paperback Cafe&#8217;s floor space. There&#8217;s some really cool layout features such as the elevated bookshelves and dramatic angles of the cases and the whole store had a surprisingly fresh feel, especially when compared to the average book store in Japan which is normally quite dusty, unkempt and uninspired.

The cafe section is really nice. It&#8217;s super clean and modern (those coloured blinds are simple yet so effective) but also has a really warm feeling due to the bookcases and small touches such as the blackboards and furniture.
Paperback Cafe, like all the cafes ...]]></description>
