Zoka Coffee Akasaka 〔ZOKA コーヒー 赤坂)

After lunch we decided to go Zoka Coffee, which is on the right side of this busy street in Akasaka.
The Zoka coffee logo on the door - apparently this chain has been around for a while. It's a US transplant to Japan.
Here are the three Zoka sizes.
The interior is nice, airy, modern. Pretty empty though, lots of people coming and going.
Here is the coffee machine they use - I have no idea if it's any good!

Here's the full lunch menu. Not many choices...
They specialize in coffee art - like this one.
Here's the real cup of coffee - looks BETTER than the pictures!

Here's my kuromitsu latte - 500 yen - over ice. Very good, but not as good as Starbucks in terms of quality I think.

Here is a link to the official Zoka site

Ritokiya Kan Yakitori Akasaka (りときや寛 赤坂)

A friend met me in Akasaka and took me to a yakitori place for lunch. The restaurant is called Ritokiya - or Yakitori spelled backwards.
The store is right near the Akasaka Mitsuke station - here's a look straight down the street from the eki. It's on the right-hand side.
Here's the door menu - very basic, but the smell coming from inside was great!
Here's the menu you get inside. I love the fact that you can get extra chicken, without extra rice.
Here's the grill - very small - just one person cooking.
Here's the A set. I also got chicken omori - or extra chicken. The chicken was freshly grilled and the soup and vegetables were great. Very unique to be able to add just chicken. Great dishes and would definitely be back.
