Aki’s Café
Powered by Google
Nestled inside Seikakudo, a century-old clock and watch repair shop in Sumida, Aki's Café is a one-of-a-kind hideaway where antique timepieces, staghorn ferns (Platycerium), vintage eyeglass displays, and hanging plants fill every corner with quiet eccentricity. The six-seat interior is intimate and unhurried — a neighborhood favorite run by a family who also curates a rare whisky collection for evening drinkers. Drip coffee is made to order from weekly-rotating single-origin beans, and creative craft drinks range from fruit-vinegar sodas to handmade-syrup mocktails. Takeout is a specialty; drinks are prepared fresh while guests rest in-store.
