Mermaid Cafe

We drove up to Hiroshima to pick up one of Peter’s bosses today. We took the Sanyo (a toll road) and the Japanese are apparently big on rest stops. There are lots of them and they all have restaurants and bakeries and lots of goodies to look at and for sale. Normally the one we stop at has a Starbucks in it but this time we changed it up. We ate at Mermaid Café. We shared minestrone soup, clam chowder, a ham and cheese sandwich, and a roast beef sandwich (this one was really good). Peter got a matcha latte (talked about in a previous post), which he claims is much better when it is freshly made. Still tasted like fish to me, but whatever. We sat in the little café and dreamed about having our very own one day. We’d love to have our own business and something comfy and chic like a coffee shop/café would be awesome in my book. Will it ever happen…who knows…a girl can dream.
