A small, New York-style coffee stand by the Dictionary Club.

bbb closed yesterday.

While we weren't specifically conserving energy, continuing in such a small space without air conditioning

was simply too difficult during this season. Our sincere thanks for your hard work.

Jiyugaoka Bake Shop

I believe I embraced the experimental endeavor of Asamoto-kun, the owner with such a unique background—he once worked at a famous record store, and I first met him when he was a sommelier at a renowned French restaurant. Yet, within the environment of the Dictionary Club, which is still building its reputation... Yes, through rain or shine, through freezing cold, through days of great upheaval, through scorching heat... the staff, with their always-refreshing smiles, were truly wonderful. ... It seems regular customers were finally starting to increase... It is truly a shame.

Our renewed thanks and gratitude to the two staff members who worked so hard.
