4th anniverary event - retro Japanese tea room

It's been 4 years...since I opened this cafe.
I was just asked to take over the cafe by Yoshi.

I started this cafe business without any experience nor know-how. I am always run not knowing what is right or wrong.
One thing I can clearly say is, thankfully, I have really good customers.

So I want say thank you again on this events... by challenging a new thing I was requested by some of customers.

Its a "good old Japanese retro style" tearooms.
There will be breakfast service, fruits parfaits, and hotcakes (pancakes) and more!

June Sweets and Events

Brighton has been in the tropical climates recently. Blue sky, Monsoon... and thunderstorms.

The end of May was too hot. Then cumulonimbus clouds spread over head, and it gets dark and laud thunder and bucketful of rain fall. Afterwords, steamy humid air comes back with a strong sun. 

In my memory, if hard rain comes, the temperature goes down a lot even though the weather was lovely and hot. I haven't felt that for a while...

So, it's June.
I just cannot guess what kind of summer it will be this year. It's very British.

June is the anniversary month for cafe an-an.
I am thinking about having a retro Japanese cafe/tea room breakfast and morning tea/coffee in the anniversary week. More detail will be in the next issue of this blog page. I have to be pretty quick to prepare!!!
