But they're really popular here for their pineapple cake and their tea.

But they're based in, they originated in Taiwan in 2008.

But we mainly wanted to come here in Tokyo because they have a couple locations in the Tokyo area.

We wanted to come here because the architecture is beautiful.

But as far as food, there's not much you can get.

It really is just enjoying tea and whatever they're offering, which right now is the banana waffle cookie.

On the architecture of this joint, the wood joint.

It said it was designed by the world-renowned architect

To build a forest within the urban context of Tokyo.

This building was designed to create a place where a sunlight trickles through the foliage and the guests can enjoy the time passing elegantly away from the busy...

I bet it's different when it's sunny, like when the sun comes in.

So definitely try to come here on a sunny day because it's probably a really different ambience.

They said, you know, you can't sit on the tables up here, but you're allowed to go up and, you know, check it out.

They don't look like you can go out, but...

Maybe they have like special parties where...

Oh yes, there's authorized personnel only.

And they also make sure that they don't crowd the place.

Even though there was like tables next to us and there were still people waiting, they didn't bring everyone up all at once.

They kind of give people space, it seems like, so that you don't feel overwhelmed.

The food was good, but I think I'm more amazed by the sink.

You just turn it on and it goes down there.

Gotta show Crystal because her bathroom didn't have this.

Yeah, because I went to the handicap bathroom and this one is so neat.

They really went with architecture here and innovation.

Okay, so we just found out that that tea and snack that we got was free.

It's actually complimentary because that's what they do in Taiwan.

I guess if you stop by their cafe or something, they give you a complimentary tea and snack.

Yeah, I said it was part of their culture.

So they were going to do the same thing here and emulate that.

But if you feel like you still want to give back, they do have gifts in front of the register.

I felt like I should give back to the store.

It's Mother's Day pretty soon, so I'm going to give this to our mom.
