• Cafe Ginza Miyukikan

  6-5-17
  Ginza, Japan
  03-3574-7562

  After hours of walking shops and touristy places, our legs were tired and feet sore.  There are no benches along the streets or malls so everyone keeps walking.  Now I can see why Japanese people are usually in good physical shape.

  

  We couldn't find a McDonald's so we looked for a nice cafe that didn't rush people out the door.

  

  Inside Cafe Ginza Miyukikan is a nicely decorated French-like cafe.  It has two floors, a narrow staircase, lots of wooden furniture, and colorful dishes.  Seating was tight too.

  

  I got a smoothy (I think it was blueberry):

  

  This drink was made with fresh blueberry.  Too bad it didn't have much flavor to it.

  Fancy tea:

  

  I think this was a latte:

  

  Nice thick toast with Nutella:

  

  Their signature chestnut mousse:

  

  It's not all chestnut paste on top:

  

  I had a baked cheesecake that was very fresh and smooth.  Service was decent but not as nice and friendly as in other Japanese restaurants.  There is a minimum of one drink per person at the cafe with every drink over $6.  Their cakes are very reasonably priced around $4 and they all tasted very good and definitely worth coming back again.
