Starbucks Café & Art Gallery Yanaka Gotenzaka

I noticed a stylish new building had gone up next to Nakano-ya, a tsukudani shop that’s been around since 1923, and it turns out a Starbucks has opened in my neighborhood!

What's more, it's a store specializing in art—apparently called "Starbucks Café & Art Gallery Yanaka Gotenzaka."

Based on the concept of “The Intersection of Art and Coffee,” they plan to collaborate with local young artists and the community.

It seems HAGISO was also responsible for the architectural design.

I went there, but it was way too crowded, so I ended up going to Renoir as usual… (*^^*)

Next time for sure!
