Since the sun sets early, I need to head back to Nakameguro soon.
If I start from midday, four to five hours is about the limit…
I miss summer.

The Meguro River with its changing faces through the seasons…
It used to overflow when swollen and was a smelly drainage ditch…
Ducks are swimming around down there.

This is the café space on the second floor of HIGASHIYA.
It’s my first time going up to the second floor. They offer lunch by reservation, so I’d like to stop by sometime.
High ceilings and excellent air conditioning—truly wonderful.
The temperature inside is just right with a nice breeze flowing through, nothing too cold or hot, and the cherry tree visible from the window looks
even more beautiful.

I ordered five of today’s fresh Japanese sweets.
In modern times when people don’t often eat Japanese sweets, this feels very fresh.
What’s wonderful is that they’re small, so you can taste many varieties.
And these aren’t overly sweet, which is perfect!
I really like them.

This is a dried persimmon fresh sweet.
Wow, they really know how to make things!
