A "Dining Hall for Adults" You'll Want to Visit Every Day Opens in Jiyugaoka
Blue Books Cafe Jiyugaoka, produced by Blue Note Japan, has opened. Born from a desire to create a "dining hall for adults" that one could visit daily, this cafe restaurant for adults offers delicious food, quality music, and books to stimulate intellectual curiosity.

The Luxury of Spending Personal Time at a Dining Hall
Enjoy books that add spice to life in a space filled with the sophisticated music characteristic of Blue Note Tokyo, while your heart flutters for "that taste" you loved since childhood.──Blue Books Cafe Jiyugaoka is a place where you can spend time filled with new discoveries through food, clothing, and shelter.
The menu features a lineup of simple, familiar dishes that subtly showcase professional skill, such as hearty omurice, roll cabbage, and a nostalgic Neapolitan spaghetti. All are exquisite creations by the chef, yet happily available for casual enjoyment.
The highlight of the drink menu is the "Blue Note Tokyo Beer," an original beer proposed by the jazz club "Blue Note Tokyo" in Minami Aoyama as its first endeavor.Blue Note Tokyo BeerIt has a light and easy-to-drink mouthfeel, yet offers a rich, full-bodied flavor with an aromatic finish. Additionally, four popular craft beers are always on tap. The highball, prepared in the "Kobe style," allows you to savor the true taste of whiskey down to the last drop.
Inside, you can freely read approximately 1,000 books selected by book director Takanori Hata. With the theme "A Dining Hall with Books," it offers a comfortable space where quality books, music, and food are gently synchronized.
Furthermore, DJ events and live performances by artists from various genres, active both domestically and internationally, are held irregularly. A dining hall for adults, seemingly absent in Jiyugaoka until now, has been born.
