Dayan Cafe

I flew All Nippon Airways (ANA) this time only because it was the only carrier with a direct flight from DC to Tokyo. DIRECT. FLIGHT. 2 years ago direct flights didn’t exist at any of the 3 international airports here, so to say I was excited is an understatement!!!

ANA has fantastic service, hands down, but their breakfast choices are a bit strange… Chimachanga on the way to Tokyo and on the way back breakfast was a BBQ hamburger. Yes it’s BREAKFAST because it’s served at breakfast time & with yogurt.

I hadn’t eaten one of these since my EARLY college years.

Dayan Cafe

I wanted to post my photos of Dayan Cafe~ I think back to this place a lot. Actually, I didn’t know anything about Dayan or the Wachi Field World until this trip. But I kept coming upon the DVDs, books, and shops and quickly loved it! The artistic design of Dayan is so appealing to me~ cute but with a slight sinister look. I was so tempted to buy the box set but it was $160

Wachi Field is the imaginary world created by the author and illustrator, Akiko Ikeada, where the main character, a cat named Dayan, adventures with his friends. The story brings to life not only the animals and creatures of fairy stories, but also the trees, wind and moon and others. Through imagination and beautiful imagery - Dayan finds a place in everyone’s heart. [from wachifield.com]

There’s a Wachi Field store in Kichijoji that I saw earlier on in my trip. It had a Wachi Field gachapon outside by the entrance! I actually got Dayan!!! I usually always get my most undesired object with gachagacha

Then there is the Wachi Field Cafe in Shinjuku that sells Dayan & Wachi Field related goods on 2 levels and on the 3rd floor there’s a cafe! Everything from the dishes to the desserts are Dayan themed~ The staircase walls are brightly painted from top to bottom with Wachi Field silhouettes.

We (me, Mike & my friend) ordered tea, tiramisu, pancakes, and mixed fruit jelly.

A sign advertising all the mini-towels for sale! Can you spot mine!?

HUGS TIME!

Actually the waitress here spilled ice water all over me. Drenched. But honestly it was so hot out I couldn’t have cared less! :good: She was so, so apologetic that I felt bad lol! She didn’t charge us for nearly half our order hahaha. And a bonus, I didn’t buy anything at Alta shopping plaza because peeling off wet shorts & underwear to try on clothes is entirely unappealing, haahaaaaa! Thus, money saved! Ha!
