"When someone says 'do your best,' I tend to interpret it as 'try your best even though it might not work out,' but in reality, it means 'do your best to the best of your abilities.' Similarly, 'reckless person' may bring to mind someone who does crazy things, but it actually refers to a person who accomplishes impressive feats that others couldn't. 'Derision' is often thought of as laughing in disbelief, but it actually means laughing uncontrollably. Originally, 'fixate' had a negative connotation of being obsessed with trivial things, but now it refers to pursuing value with care. Today's morning was spent enjoying a specialty iced coffee at Ginza Warandou, where Roy's used to be. They have a touch panel near the entrance for ordering and payment. I ordered a hot dog and iced coffee set for 750 yen, with an extra 50 yen for cheese topping. The coffee was served with whipped cream on top, and the hot dog arrived shortly after. The seating area at the back of the cafe offers a view of the whole space, and free WiFi is available. Each table has an ashtray, as it is a smoking-friendly cafe. The coffee had a refreshing acidity with a rich flavor, complemented by the sweetness of the whipped cream. The hot dog, with its long sausage and slightly charred bun, paired well with the coffee. The cheese added a nice touch, enhancing the flavors. I had only glanced at the Ginza location before, but now I am eager to visit it as well."

After eating ramen, you can cool down and relax by choosing and buying your menu at the ticket vending machine (credit and some electronic payment available). When your number at the bottom of the receipt is called, you can pick up your order at the counter. The taste is neither good nor bad. In a society where smokers feel socially restricted, being able to smoke is more important than anything else! The location is a little bit away from the station, perfect for those who want to spend time alone without meeting anyone!

Hello, I'm Maruharu! This is a smoking-friendly restaurant located a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station. It's a smoker-friendly place! And it's cool. [Ordered items] - Iced Coffee 580 yen (approximately) - Omurice 800 yen, with fluffy eggs and flavorful ketchup rice. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

"Walandou" is written as "Ranzu" and pronounced. Despite its modern and beautiful appearance, this café has a surprisingly long history, founded in 1969. I came across it while walking through the back streets of Akihabara for the first time, but it seems that there are also shops in Ginza and Kamata. On this day, I stopped by for a morning time before work. When you purchase a ticket at the ticket machine, the order is automatically transmitted to the kitchen. After about 5 minutes, your number is called and you go to the counter to pick up your order. I had the 'Coarse Ground Hot Dog and Iced Coffee Set / 700 yen'. The long sausage sticking out of the coppe pan is quite impactful. The crispy and crunchy texture is really enjoyable. The store is spacious, with over 60 seats. The store proudly states that it is "smoking allowed in all seats", but I don't smoke and there were no customers smoking around me. I was lucky to enjoy a clean and peaceful space from morning.

Before meeting with the client, I had a pre-meeting at a café near Akihabara Station. However, all the cafes were full. I found a newly opened café called "Smoking Coffee Shop Ginza Holland Bean Akihabara Store" a little further away from the station, with congratulatory flowers still displayed. The concept of a "smoking coffee shop" is quite bold. Although I don't smoke, I decided to go in due to lack of time. The location is on the left side of Showa Street, just north of Tokyo Metro Akihabara Station. I have been to the Ginza and Kamata branches of "Ginza Holland Bean" before. Both places, although rare in this day and age, cater to smokers, and I remember that minors were not allowed. Perhaps they have taken this concept further. But considering that there are still many smokers, there seems to be a demand for this. Upon entering, I had to confirm my order on a touch panel before sitting down. There were about 15 tables, quite spacious, with ashtrays of course. I ordered the "Charcoal Roasted Blend" which was served within a few minutes. I recall that the blend from "Ginza Holland Bean" is based on Mocha and is carefully brewed with a siphon, and the unique sweet aroma and richness are still present. It's a stable taste, typical of a long-established place. As for the smoking situation, it was quite surprising. During my visit, there were five groups of customers, and although some were using electronic cigarettes, there was no smell of cigarette smoke! Whether it's because there are few places to smoke and electronic cigarettes are popular, or people just don't smoke when they can anytime, I don't know the real reason. But I was fortunate to be able to enjoy the aroma of the coffee. After finishing my drink, I returned the cup to the kitchen as part of their self-service system. It seems that while maintaining the taste of a long-established place, they have introduced touch panels and self-service. I'm a bit curious to see how the new concept of the restaurant, along with their new challenges, will capture the hearts of customers. The bill was 400 yen. Thank you for the meal!

I received a set of buttered toast and blended coffee. The fragrant coffee goes well with the buttered toast. The cafe is located within walking distance from JR Akihabara Station, on the Showa-dori side where smoking is allowed. The atmosphere is nice, as the store just opened on January 24, 2022, and the interior is sparkling with congratulatory flowers on display. I would rate this place between 3.0 to 3.5, with 3.5 being the highest for a place where I felt completely satisfied.

This is a good name. In today's world where even smoking-friendly places require consideration, it's refreshing to see a place that not only allows smoking, but also encourages it. The name of this restaurant helps put smokers at ease.
