Farewell to the 100% Chocolate Cafe

On the day before I left Japan, Dan and I were walking toward Ginza. And I knew before I had even arrived in the country that there was an establishment that I knew in Tokyo which was going to end its time on December 26th this year.

The 100% Chocolate Cafe was a place that I visited with friends perhaps around 2~3 times during my residency there and has had a good run of more than a decade. In a megalopolis which has a high frequency of restaurant openings and closings, the Meiji-sponsored cafe has done quite well.

I wasn't about to pass this final opportunity to drink at my old haunt so Dan and I did a half-hour there over chocolate drinks. Wish that I could have had some of the chocolate desserts there but after a rather large soba lunch in Akihabara, my stomach didn't have the heart. Still, I was glad that we could have one last time.

Well, perhaps there are other chocolate-themed J-Pop tunes but this is the one that automatically came to mind.
