[Tokyo] - Armwood Cottage


Thank you, lovelies, for sharing my joy regarding the good news in the previous post! Thank you also to the sweet folks of Public Garden (a market which I participated in previously) for their shoutout and kind words. The second Public Garden will be on 5 Nov. I won’t be a vendor this time but will definitely drop by as a shopper. You should too!
And continuing with our Japan series, I’m taking you to a charming cafe in Shinjuku today. What intrigued me about Armwood Cottage was that it was essentially a wooden structure. I was so drawn to its rustic-ness. Nestled between 2 modern high rise buildings, it formed an interesting juxtaposition, which made me want to check it out even more.

The inside was cozy with not too many tables. I love it this way as it felt more private and exclusive. I took a while ogling around before making my order. The food of course, didn’t disappoint!

  1. thanks for letting us take notes from your captures of Japan. the Japanese do have more flexibility in setting up quaint shops which tend to be sustainable (compared to many small set-ups in Singapore), eh?

  2. Ohh my, that poached egg in the last photo is just perfect! P.S. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE FRANKIE FEATURE! I've been wanting one of your adorable creations. Ah, maybe it'll be a Christmas present to myself. :]

  3. M: I guess in Singapore, rental is a huge problem setups face.

    Sewon: Thank you!
