Masako and I were in Ebisu on Saturday to have lunch with some friends at Good Honest Grub. I hadn't been there since we had a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner there almost 3 years ago. I waited outside with a pregnant wife for about 20 min but it was well worth it. After lunch we headed back toward the station to have coffee together and ended up looking for a cafe in Atre directly above the staion. Right at the top of the escalator there is a small fruit shop/cafe called Senbikiya that is famous for its expesive gifts. I'm sure you can find more expensive fruits at Kinokuniya but this was still impressive to say the least. Click on photo for lager image.
