Edogawa Rampo Coffee Shop

Last month we were walking around Sendagi and Nippori and we ended up in a coffee shop where the writer Edogawa Rampo used to go.

We went into the coffee shop and a woman served us a bad and expensive coffee. But I found that the decoration, which reminded me of the mysterious narrative of Edogawa Rampo, made it worth it.

If you have never read any work by Edogawa Rampo I recommend you this book that compiles some of his best mystery short stories. In addition, you can read online in this link “Murder on Dogenzaka”, one of my favorite Edogawa short stories along with “The Human Chair” (人間椅子), in which the story revolves around a man that decides to live inside the sofa of a hotel lobby…
