Bunkyo City, Tokyo, Japan｜Nito

Best cup of coffee in Yanesen. I highly recommend the French roast and chocolate cake. It’s an absolutely wonderful, dark and rich combination. Perfect place to lose yourself in your favorite book. The couple who run the place are kind and welcoming; the decor is classic-modern with dark wood subtle tones. The music is unintrusive, usually classic guitar, jazz or the occasional Pink Floyd or King Crimson record but played at a volume that will never interrupt your conversation or lift you from the pages of your book. The selection of books and magazines at the entrance offer a nostalgic glimpse into Showa cinema, art and culture all of which accentuate and affirm my conviction that this is a ‘thinking person’s’ cafe. A place to savor and enjoy life. Be it the coffee, the cake or a conversation with yourself or others, Nito is where you would come to escape the spectacle of Tokyo. I can not recommend it enough.

I had an egg toast sandwich and a city roast. Although the color is light, the surface of the bread is toasted with a crispy sound when you bite into it. The egg filling has a rich yolk taste, and the sourness of mayonnaise and the flavor of mustard are faintly felt, making it a good accent. Both the bread and the egg filling were very delicious on their own, and the combination of the two enhanced each other's flavors, making it an excellent toasted sandwich. However, the size is small, so I think it is not enough for hungry men. City roast was a very delicious coffee with a deep bitterness after swallowing. The toast sandwich and coffee were very delicious, and the atmosphere in the store was also good. However, depending on the seat, the wind of the air conditioner hits directly, so it is quite cold. It is a flaw that payment is only cash, but I would like to visit again if there is an opportunity. Thank you for the meal.

Although it is a small shop, it seems that they are particular about the atmosphere and light meals. It was nice and quiet. I think it's a shop where one or two people can spend quietly rather than talking with three or more people.
