Tiny Tokyo Corners

My first blog post from Japan! Finally! I have somewhat put it off but also wanted to figure out what it would look like now being here. I still want to inspire to thrift/shop ethically, outfit inspo and a lot of coffee and travel. It also is a good way to update my friends and fam about some of my favorite memories in new cities!

Of course, I am starting to make my list of coffee shops/places to eat and Tokyo has really surprised me. I wasn’t exactly sure what their coffee scene would be – and guess what? They rock. Shame on me for questioning!

I am so ready to try them all (although I keep discovering new ones) Between pinterest, google searching, other bloggers and social media my list of places to explore keeps growing! I am more than OK with this dilemma 😉 Thanks to social media, I saw someone had been to Camelback sandwich and espresso and it looked adorable so it was one of the first on my list! I stroke out TWICE with both times being closed. Luckily, I discovered a new gem, called Apple and Ginger (their drinks are a must if you love ginger – pictured below).

The deets:

Nearest station / Yoyogikoen Station

Payment / Cash only

Hours / Closed Monday, 10am-7pm other days

The guys who own the shop are SO great! They speak English pretty well (which is always a bonus for me so I can get the scoop on their favorite coffee choices and a play by play on the sandwich making). Make no mistake, I AM working on speaking the language – I suppose I should nail down “What do you suggest?” The picture above is the owner grating some fresh lime on my Prosiciutto and Ooba Leaf sandwich. The Ooba leaf is what they use for sashimi and it was amazing! Very simple, so if you are looking for more – check out their menu for even more amazing options!

My favorite thing other than the people and food, has been the fashion. Seriously, my ripped jeans really will not do here. Everyone is classy, edgy, and effortless. A majority of the fashion has a lot of loose clothing yet looks so sheek! My goal is to take some lessons – starting with more of these type of flowy pants that I already wore a lot. More than that, can’t wait for more inspired looks, food coffee, language and patience that the people of Japan have!
