When drinking high-alcohol distilled spirits, coating your mouth with the fats and oils from the chocolate will allow you to enjoy a milder taste.
That's an advanced technique!!!

Maybe for men

BRIFT STAND is a shop that offers in-person shoe shine services.
When you think of shoe polishing, you probably imagine a craftsman sitting down and polishing your shoes.
However, at this shop, they will polish your shoes while having a face-to-face conversation.


They will polish your shoes face to face at this counter.
But craftsmen who work silently are also cool.

The menu included a 10-minute course and a 20-minute course (mirror finish).
Not only do they polish your shoes, but they also seem to offer half rubber sole and stiletto heel replacement.

I wasn't particularly particular about shoes, but when I saw the number of waxes and creams in the store, I thought it would be fun to get lost in this world.
Feel freehigh standardIf you're into shoes, this is the shop where you can experience the process.

·At the end
This was my first time visiting Marche Écute, and I had no idea there was such a stylish place in Akihabara... As it was originally a train station, the structure of the facility itself is unique and it felt like exploring a maze.

beautiful…
It's Instagrammable!! It's Instagrammable!!!


The stairs from back then are still there!!
It's just a staircase, but... it's emotional...?


On the second floor, the platform area that was built when the old Manseibashi Station opened has been transformed into a glass-enclosed observation deck! You'll be lucky if the Chuo Line passes on both sides at the same time.
So, if you come to Akihabara, be sure to stop by!
Thank you to everyone at the stores who allowed me to take photos inside the stores!!
