Can't be bothered with waitresses? Not in the mood for a menu? Just want to grab a hot beverage and snack, plug in and kick back?

Consider the Marunouchi Cafe. Part coffee shop, part cyber cafe, MC is billed as "an Asian oasis for the peace of mind." "Oasis" might be pushing it, but it is a great place to let off some steam in the middle of the historic Marunouchi business district.

Its wonderfully extravagant space takes up almost the entire bottom floor of the Fuji Building. MC's maroon columns, huge multicolored lanterns dangling from an exposed ceiling and odd pieces of furniture and mismatched chairs (the interior was created by noted Hong Kong designer Alan Chan) give the illusion of a very eclectic room in the home of a wealthy man. The staff, dressed in fashionable black Chinese silk jackets, add to the atmospheric chic of the cafe.
