Tokyo has an endless selection of unique and creative cafes. To continue “Japan By Food’s periodic feature of some of Tokyo’s best, join Shizuka as she visits two calming cafes you can take advantage of if you find yourself needing a breather in bustling Tokyo!
First, she heads to the Koenji neighborhood, where she visits Pottercafe - a homey cafe with an animal and coffee-loving, creative owner who makes everything from scratch and where guests can take some time to chill with delicious homemade food and pottery painting.
Then, trek to Ueno on the other side of Tokyo to visit Mominoki House, a cafe concept that combines footbath, massage and natural foods to help cool the mind, and warm both the body and heart.
So, if you’re reading this, take a pause, sit back and relax with Shizuka on this unique cafe tour!

[@hitachicordoba]

I would regularly visit a massage cafe! I move 500+ lb 747/777 wheels and aircraft parts at LAX but ironically I have pretty bad neck/shoulder pain from using a keyboard/mouse all day.

[@JapanbyFood]

You definitely need to give it a try!

[@Celeste77789]

So relaxed at Mominoki House then she ate one mouthful of that spicy Sri Lankan curry and it was game over.

[@davidinouye2606]

The massage cafe looked very relaxing, and I will give it a try soon Thanks Shizuka!

[@JapanbyFood]

Any time!

[@SOAR-OF-AVEM]

This is so cool! Wow, these innovative diner's/message parlors are incredible. A little "tight space" for someone "big body" but the chance to eat then then get a message is incredible! Two thumbs up on this tour!👍👍

The women of Japan have many talents and the freedom to express them in unique ways that benefit their communities by their labors. I regret learning this at an advanced age.

[@sarahjackson2302]

Amazing!!!! 😄

[@JapanbyFood]

You are!

[@satanniel]

Funny that you cover the Koenji place and Ueno place, where Koenji it's known for its Sri Lankan-inspired spice curry shops, but it's in the Ueno place that has a Sri Lankan curry.

[@mike_hu]

Time to visit Japan! Do y'all have any tourism packages that Japan By Food offers?

[@JapanbyFood]

We might as well start now!!!

[@wil1027]

Wow!! These are great cafes!! Thanks for finding and showcasing them!! These are definitely - sugoi - places! OK, OK - bad use 🙂 of the term, but they're amazing cafes! Keep up the good work and take it easy JbF team!

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching, we will keep doing our best!

[@UncleHoCM]

🙂

[@websterlusotan4126]

lovely cafes!

[@JapanbyFood]

The best!

[@adelbert8981]

I would be snoring out of comfort up in that massage cafe! Lol! Very great idea.

[@JapanbyFood]

You and me both!

[@sunsettersix6993]

I'm so sorry. I just saw that you rang my "Ring for a kiss" bell. I'm on my way.

[@JapanbyFood]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Black_Sun_Dark_Star]

I miss a good quiche lorraine The massage parlour/restaurant was originally Taiwanese, I think. The food service is that shop's. One should never eat before a deep tissue/sports massage. A massage is like exercising, one should eat after,not before.

[@JapanbyFood]

Good to know! Fortunately, Shizuka felt fine after!

[@Black_Sun_Dark_Star]

@@JapanbyFood Good. The regenerative vigor of youth

[@korsoupp6450]

love the vid as always shizzy! which one was the favorite?

Both were amazing, very different but so lovely 🌹

Do they do happy endings

[@peterreily1490]

I can’t help myself. I tried. The other thing you’ve never done in Japan before is having an experience with something over 5”. I can book a trip and help you. Ok I’m done. I apologize.

[@pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

haha it does say Chai Milk Tea instead of Chai Tea so of course milky :)

[@JapanbyFood]

Yeah haha, realised too late 🤣

[@billshepherd4331]

A curry & a massage? Yes Please! Yeah, I love this video!

[@JapanbyFood]

Perfect combo!!!
