Fall is coming.
In Japan, there are the 4 kinds of words that express about the fall:
Fall is the best season for eating, for sports, for reading, and for arts and entertainments.
Because the hotness become less, the harvests are prosperous,
and the fall is the appropriate seasons to concentrate on something in terms of the weather, 4 kinds get active.
Because I like to drawing as among 4 words,
I would like to introduce the “cool” spot where you can feel “The best season for arts and entertainments”.
It is the “Bunbougu café”.
Here is the mix of stationery shop and café.
You can buy the stationeries that the café selected, and you can draw the picture while you are eating.
Sounds so interesting!
It takes 4 minutes by walk from Omotesando station of Tokyo Metro Line
Turn left at the Apple Store, walk through the classy path, and you can find the “Bunbougu café”
I entered to the café, and it looked like fashionable zakka (grocery) store or stationery shop.
I down the stairs, and now I found the “real” café.
Perhaps there were the stationeries and books…
I do not know why but it was calm, smooth atmosphere…I felt comfortable.
There was the place mat of drawing paper on the table.
In the café, there was the stationeries that you could use freely.
So, drew tentatively
Well, who can guess what she wrote?
The answer is,,,Levi from Attack on Titan which is popular comic character in Japan.
Do you know it?
There were lots of stationeries that are made in Japan or are imported in the café.
The stationeries of foreign brand are good but Japanese stationeries cannot be found in foreign countries.
For example, the ballpoint pen that you can erase what you wrote,
sharp pencil that the leads will not break have good quality technically.
Moreover, there are also lots of unique items and cute stationeries that women like also popular by foreigners.
But,,, wait,,,
Why are they selling the tofu?
Just kidding, this is the sticky note lol
As you can see, Japanese stationeries are distinctive. I can spend an hour just looking stationeries.
But the most important thing is…
Here is café.
They had lots of food and drinks menu of course.
The staff recommended us the “Bunbougu parfait.”
They told us the fruits change depending on the seasons, now was tomato!!
The taste was sweet and vegetable…I might say it was like prosciutto and melon in Italian.
The fusion of opposite type of food made freshness especially in this heat of last summer. Balanced well.
When I looked closely, the cookies were scissors and triangle ruler lol
We got the eraser of tomato and chocolate pen
They had also lots of foods such as pasta, rice and so on, so we will try next opportunity.
Ok, this is the normal way of how to enjoy the Bunbougu café.
From now on, this is for you who want to enjoy the café by advanced way.
What is it?
It is…
To be the membership of the Bunbougu café.
In fact, you can get the spare key of secret drawer if you become the member of café.
Now look, there were various kinds of stationeries and Origami.
Of course, it made me to draw something.
Well, yeah the comfort of writing was totally different by using the pen for only membership.
The stationeries are different by each table, so you are going to be excited what stationeries you can use!
Interesting right?
Other privileges of membership are…
You can order secret menu that only member can.
10 % discount every times
You can participate the events for members etc…
So, how about that?
It was fun to draw! (The best season for arts and entertainment)
It was delicious to eat parfait! (The best season for eating)
At the head of stationeries’ brand of Japan, the lots of groceries which have a sense of originality based on the motif of “WA” such as Sushi or Ninja were so attractive.
We could feel the Japanese culture through the wide variety of stationeries,
and it was really comfortable atmosphere that the café remained the Japanese tradition and culture
and yet at the same time café created the modern and stylish ambience called “WA modern”.
Finally, we intentionally left the graffiti of Cool Japan…
