TOKYO GINZA “WEST”, which is a nostalgic cafe and offers drink refills for free.

The 1st spot, which I am going to introduce is a nostalgic cafe in GINZA.

GINZA, Tokyo…firstly, this is the place where a lot of world wide brand shops are.

Secondly, the place where land price is the highest in Japan!

When I go shopping in GINZA, I sometimes have difficulty to find a place where I can take a coffee break. Let me introduce my favorite cafe in GINZA!

GINZA WEST CAFE CAKE

A drink with a piece of cake

I ordered a cup of tea and a piece of cake. If you order it, a waitress will bring a tray with various cakes so that you can easily choose.

However, it was not easy to decide, as I am very choosy!
Finally I decided one below. This is called “Mont Blanc” in Japan, which is a cake with chestnut cream on the top.

A cup of tea and a piece of cake cost 1,372 JPY.

Recommendation points

All tables are for non smokers. The cafe is clean and neat.

You can get a drink refill for free (same kind of your order. If you order a cup of tea, only a tea refill is free. )
When you ask for a refill, let’s call a waitress and say “Sumimasen, Okawari Kudasai. “
Sumimasen=Excuse me!
Okawari=a refill
Kudasai= please

Nostalgic atmosphere.
