Japanese cafe #3

Again, I would like to introduce some unique cafes in Japan.
I don't know if it is common in your country or not, but cafes you can relax like you are at your home are getting popular in Japan.
Some people are using their living room as a cafe only on weekends, and some are offering space you can read your favorite book lying on the sofa.

One of examples is "ie-ie".
As "ie" means home in Japanese, the cafe's theme is "home".
This cafe-cum-living room is couple owned and operated.

The wife loves Japanese antiques and has been displaying her collection in the living room.

Some antiques are for sale and you can buy them at a reasonable price.

The old house renovated by the husband is the space like visiting grandma.

There is nothing special about it, but I think it is the point that can make guests feel comfortable.

The other one is so-called book cafe.

At "beyer", you can read your favorite book.

You can read sitting down a chair.

Also, you can lie around on the floor or sit on a zabuton.

In Japan, people used to live without chair and still now, some people don't have any chairs or couches in their living room and sprawl on carpet watching TV.

Thus, it is comfortable for Japanese to read a book lying on the floor.

Visiting there, I was the only guest at that time and it was so comfortable.

The cafe is on the second floor and the staff comes from the first floor only when guests ask them.

I think I will be able to introduce some other unique cafes later.
