    Gigantic thanks to Shantell Martin for creating what will be the third poster for the Cafe Pause Series I started earlier this year — previous posters were created by Ian Lynam and PMKFA. I will get it printed early this week, so it should be greeting visitors to the cafe soon enough.

    I found myself in Kasumigaseki the other day, and needed a cafe to rest for a bit, and ended up in this branch of the Travel Cafe chain. Can’t say that it’s particularly special as far as cafes go, but the toast with ham and cheese I had was quite decent. The coffee? I couldn’t…

    I was digging through recent photos, and found these of a really nice cafe in Shinjuku I went to last month. It was my friend Max who brought me there, and I can’t remember the name, but it’s on the fifth floor of a building, somewhere between the station and Kabukicho. Speaking of cafes, my…

    It’s been a while, but designer Koji Kimura has brought in some new chairs at the cafe. Currently there are two like the one pictured above (the other one is yellow), and I believe there will be a third one, but I’m not sure if it’ll have the same shape, or if it’s something else…

    My new coffee mug, which my wife got for me the other day when we went to newly opened J.S. Burgers Cafe in Aoyama (it’s on the street that leads to the A to Z Cafe). The J.S. stands for “Journal Standard,” but I like to pretend they are the initials for my name.
