Looking back it seems like this weekend have been slightly food focused. But after the pizzas on Friday eve, there were some drinks in Roppongi too, and things got sufficiently out of hand. Then had lunch with Mr M, followed by a short fika and a walk around Shibuya with Mattias, whom I have not seen for more than 10 years and used to study with in high school. He was here with his office on a architecture study trip. After that been soup, no photos, but you all know what it looks like. Now back to the topic proper bread with nice toppings.
Daikanyama is the location for this very cozy cafe that makes you feel you were back in a confused designer happy Scandinavia. We tried the smörrebröd set, and picked salmon and shrimp. The shrimp were a bit fresher than most original and the salmon a little less smoked a little closer to its origin (not the Scandinavian version but its ocean origin), but it was all good. If they want to improve further they should push Carlsberg and a shot of gammeldansk onto their menu. But don't get me wrong, it is well worth a visit and rye bread, you do not come across that every day here.
As you can see, they are really doing what they can with the Nordic feel. Keeping it light and birch-y (カバノキ）inspired, even if the shop is located on B1.
And no, I'm not in Finland, that is the shops name. (Disclaimer to avoid confusion and upsetting parents of being in closer time zones than I actually am.
