tallskogen — Restaurant in Tokyo

Visited this place recently on a short day trip to Kiyosumi Shirakawa. Staff is friendly, the place is clean and the atmosphere has a simple, Scandinavian vibe to it. However, what was a real let down was that they charge like 900 yen for a piece of bread that was maybe 10 x 10 cm large. The meal itself was tasty and prepared with care with some kind of salmon topping, but it does not fill you up at all. For 900 yen, I was expecting something much more than that. For that small size, I think it's only worth half that...

The café is very cute, and we were able to find a seat as it was a rainy morning. The people were very kind.

However, we were disapointed at the food. We knew the cinnamon roll was Vegan, but not the sandwich. And when they told us the "daily special" they said it was Ham and Cheese... well it was not haha. Just would have liked to know the actual...

Incredibly fresh cardamom buns that are vegan, made with natural yeast, and sweetened with oat barley amazake. A great find if you are dairy-free too. Worth making a special trip for. Owner + staff were super kind, my only wish is that I had more time on the day of my visit to chat a bit more!

Will certainly be back to try the housemade kombucha and toast...
