Komeda means Nagoya. Common knowledge for anyone from there.
They expanded to Tokyo around 2006. Since moving here I’d told myself “I have to go at some point” — and I finally made it.
Iced coffee: ¥400.
Hmm — back when I worked there, the local price was ¥360. (Now it’s ¥380 due to fuel costs.)
Apparently quite a bit of the ingredients are shipped from Nagoya, so the transportation costs might explain it.
Being a chain, the interior layout was identical to the Nagoya Komeda locations. Though apparently the Tokyo morning service (“free egg and toast with coffee”) isn’t something Tokyoites are accustomed to, because there were signs explaining it everywhere.
For a moment it felt a tiny bit like being back home.
