All day MORNING




Area:  4 min. from Nagoya Station.  Mitsui Building B1 三井ビル  (across the street from the spiral building on the Meitetsu side of the station.
Restaurant: Riyon リヨン

Hours: 8am-8pm

This is one of those kissaten's (Japanese coffee shops) that are filled with anyone from businessman to grandmas and pas, and young couples.  The attraction here, after looking on the internet for a place eat breakfast, seems to be the morning service.  For 380円, the price of coffee, you also get a pressed sandwich of choice and a small package of peanuts and rice crackers.  I came early in the morning, but supposedly this shop has this deal all day.  

I chose the fruit pressed sandwich, which just consisted of pineapple slices and strawberry jam.  I may have enjoyed the red bean paste more, but I didn't know what to expect from the fruit version.  The bread is thin and flimsy, but the nice part is that the press used gives it a nice crust (and an extra layer of crust in addition to the bread's natural crust!).  Other flavours include potato salad, egg salad, and peanut butter.  They should really do a peanut butter and jam version as well!
