Breakfast @ Komeda’s Coffee

Came here from a friend’s suggestion, and was attracted by their breakfast special – free toast, egg/red beans and jam with any drink. Generous offer, but we added a few things we wanted to try. A repeat of the Viennese coffee along with yoghurt and honey was a good choice, but my traveling companions were drawn to the salad and the tasty dressing. Unfortunately after the some questions and requests, there was no way to buy a bottle of their (apparently original) salad dressing to take home.

Too Early for Sakura

I was hoping to catch the Sakura in full bloom when I was in Nagoya or Tokyo. Alas, the unprecedented weather changes threw the blooming schedule far out of proportion, and I left before the blooming season properly started in the central and eastern regions. At least I did get to see patches of it blooming in certain spots, from Nagoya Castle to Ueno Park. Maybe next year…

It’s not very remarkable, but the view is just refreshing as you travel along the train lines between Nagoya and Takayama.
