Branching out in Tokyo
Japan has wonderful food…right?
It is a palette of flavours that are so different from our western range of salty and sweet.
The food in Tokyo is all about raw fish and seaweed…right? Wrong!
The food in Tokyo is as diverse as the fabulous city that it is.

The food in Tokyo is as diverse as the fabulous city that it is.
There is a famous landmark in Tokyo called
the Tokyo Tower (funnily enough). It looks like the Eiffel Tower of Paris.
There are lots of French clothing brands like Chanel and Dior in the Ginza and
if you go to the Sunday flea market at the International Forum, you will find beautiful,
hand painted La morgue plates among the many French delights and antiques.

So Japan and France, Tokyo and Paris, who
knew that there was such a connection.
Branch is a French cafe, nestled in a Tokyo neighbourhood called Yutenji.
It is the creation of a wonderful, open hearted, much talented cook called Naomi.

She produces a small, but perfect array of French meals every day.
She feeds the locals of Yutenji and any travellers who may be lucky enough to find 'branch'.

On any one day you can have: Soup of the day; Pate; Sandwich; Deli
plate; Tart; Fresh pie; Lemon cake.
All made daily by Naomi. This dynamo
produces food from the gods, that
delights us and leaves us contented. This place was one of the real highlights in a city that is never ending in the highlights it reveals.

Tokyo is know as an electric, neon garden
