Showa nostalgia and delicious food intertwined: Breakfast experience at Asakusa coffee shop "Tomoroyu"
#November2024
"Coffee Shop Tomoroyu" in Asakusa is a traditional coffee shop with a nostalgic Showa style, located in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. Asakusa is a famous cultural and historical area in Tokyo. It is home to iconic attractions such as Sensō-ji Temple and Kaminarimon, and is a must-see for many tourists. In such a historic place, having an exquisite breakfast at Youlu in the morning is undoubtedly a good start to the day.
The interior design of Yujiyou is simple and warm, exuding a nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa era. Wooden tables and chairs, soft lighting and marble-patterned decorative walls make people feel comfortable and relaxed. Most of the customers here are local residents, office workers and tourists who come here for the sake of reputation. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and comfortable, which is very suitable for enjoying breakfast slowly.
Youlu's breakfast options are varied and reasonably priced, with each set usually costing between 800 and 1,200 yen, which converts to about 42 to 63 Hong Kong dollars. I ordered a classic Nagoya-style breakfast, which included: golden and crispy thick-cut toast, smooth scrambled eggs, a crisp lettuce salad, and a cup of fragrant hot coffee. The toast is perfectly baked, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a rich aroma; the scrambled eggs are smooth and moist, and the addition of a little ketchup adds to the flavor; the salad is mainly made of fresh lettuce, paired with Japanese-style sauce, which is refreshing and appetizing. The aroma of coffee is the best choice to wake up your morning energy. If you like, you can also add some hot milk or dessert to satisfy more taste buds.
Overall, the breakfast experience at Youlu was satisfying and memorable. Not only is the food of high quality and affordable, but you can also feel the warm atmosphere of Showa tea culture. If you are visiting Asakusa, don’t forget to take some time to visit Youluo to taste the unique breakfast here, which will definitely make your trip more enriching and enjoyable!
