Close to Naka-Meguro station, Taste and Sense is a friendly, relaxed cafe with a mellow interior and a pleasant terrace out front that's good for Bohemian people-watching. The English menu features lunch sets for ¥1210 (including salad buffet and drink bar), side dishes and salads from ¥300 to ¥930, take-out lunchboxes for ¥648, cakes and desserts for ¥500-¥650. By way of drinks, beverages and soft drinks cost from ¥370 to ¥620, beer, wine and cocktails from ¥600 for draft beer to ¥840 for "Botanical cocktails" such as a Cucumber Gin Tonic or Basil Seed Mojito.

I came to Japan from Manchester, England in 2003, and have travelled a lot since then, around Japan and in Asia. When I'm not working, I write satire and perform stand-up comedy in and around Tokyo. Check YouTube for a taste.
