There used to be a golf driving range on the rooftop of the Maruzen Building before rebuilding, and when I was a worker at GOLFER'S SNACK in one corner, I often visited during lunch. The current building is called the interior interior of the store, which was completed in 2007 and was compiled in dark brown, tableware unified in Ashford, and the service has become fashionable, but it is popular in search of the taste of nostalgic Western food. It is a scene that is the same as before that.
MARUZEN CAFE is located next to the gallery up the 3F escalator. I took two lectures early this morning, so I'm quite hungry. Write your name on WAITING LIST and keep a close eye on the dish sample with DISPLAY, "What should I do?" "Hayashi Omurice" (1200 yen). As you know, this is famous for "Hashibayashi Rice", which is said to have been devised by Maruzen founder Uteki Hayashi, but the yellow color of the omelet in the center and the dark brown sauce of the palms surrounding it seemed to invite you to say "Do this!" (I guess it's a bad way ...)
There are various people, such as those who are operating a smartphone while eating at the counter seat on the window side for one customer who was guided, and those who are starting to read the book they bought immediately, but ah! Some men are eating sweets by themselves. If there is a book next to it, there is no sense of discomfort. It's strange.
As soon as it was over, coffee (350 yen for SET) was brought. I spent a relaxing time looking at the people coming and going on Sakura-dori St. When I talked about "In the past, on the rooftop ..." at the cashier, he said, "There are many customers who miss me."
Maruzen's previous building was built in 1952 (1952) and was the first reinforcing bar building in Tokyo after the war.
When I got off to the 1st floor, I was holding the "World Fountain pen" exhibition. Speaking of which, it was Maruzen who first made Japanese called "fountain pen" and the first imported typewriter. From the Meiji era, it was a shop that made you feel the wind of "Marine culture". How about a relaxing day of spending time at CAFE if you are tired looking at books and stationery?
