What better way to start the morning than with a plate of eggs Benedict — made from organic eggs, of course — a cup of coffee and a copy of the new Japan Times/International New York Times?

To commemorate the start of its tie-up with New York's best-known newspaper, The Japan Times on Saturday began offering a series of tailor-made "morning English seminars" in Tokyo designed to help students of English use the daily to improve their language skills.

Dubbed Asa Eigo no Kai, the seminars are available on request to groups of 10 or more who gather at Eggcellent Cafe, a new diner specializing in breakfasts in Roppongi Hills.
