3/20/2005, A really nice new cafe in Aioi

Akemi and I finally went to check out the brand new coffee shop in Aioi.  I was thrilled.  They made good coffee and they have a very nice atmostphere.  Unlike many good coffee shops in Japan, their prices weren't out-of-this-world expensive.  Maybe ¥400 (≈$4) for a latte.  It's still more expensive back home, but I've seen places that were double that.  I took a picture of the inside of the place.  I took it discretely, since it's a little rude to walk around a cafe and take pictures of customers who are trying to relax.  And, I took a few pictures of the bathroom, which I thought was pretty neat.

Nice ambiance.

Toilet electronic control panel, advanced toilet paper dispenser, and air freshener dispenser.

Electronic control for toilet.  Note that it is made by INAX.  I have a very good friend who works for INAX.

Jet air hand dryer (very effective and fast), hand washing sink, toilet.
