I haven’t really craved or eaten bagels in Japan yet but after passing by this bagel cafe a few times now we finally decided to give it a try :) It was a rainy day but it still got packed by lunch time with families, friends, couples and some single guests who were just spending their morning reading a book.

Junoesque serves a wide range of bagels, all the way from classics such as plain and sesame to Japanese flavors such as edamame-spinach and black soy bean. I ordered the smoke salmon and cream cheese sandwich on a tomato bagel which included a small salad and drink for 780yen and it was pretty tasty. Couldn’t believe how cheap it was but then the portion was quite small so it made sense. The other plate we ordered was the lunch set for 780yen which included the bagel sandwich of the day, small salad, french fries, and a drink. All in all it was a nice easy breakfast/lunch spot and I recommend it for families with young children / babies as well.

This café is located right outside of Komazawa-daigaku station on the denentoshi-line and is very easy to access. We came here on a random week-night and had a nice chill time. They have a great “Meal Set” that is 1500yen which includes a starter, main dish, and a drink. The Taco rice is one of their most popular dishes so we decided to try it even though we were a little skeptical. Surprisingly, it turned out to be good and we would order it again! The taraco pasta was decent and overall it was an easy dinner with a nice and chill ambiance :) This seems like a good place to relax and read a book.

Found a Thai restaurant in Jiyugaoka and my friends and I were all pleasantly surprised with how good it was. As summer is kicking in to full effect here in Tokyo it’s so hot and humid outside that the nice air conditioning in this restaurant felt SO good. The yellow Thai curry (1000yen) and the egg noodle soup (900yen) were both good, the pad woon sen (1050yen) was a little strong on the flavoring, and the Gapao (1000yen) was a bit spicy but good. The staff also was very attentive and kind. Will be back here whenever I have my Thai food cravings here in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Tokyo.
