Located near Shinjuku-Gyoemmae Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, this restaurant is specialized in smoking, as indicated by its name Smokes written prominently on the storefront with "All seats smoking" displayed in large letters. Customers can smoke either regular or heat-not-burn cigarettes at their table. I visited around 6:30 pm on a day off. The interior is the same as when it was a Cafe de Crie, offering a menu of drinks and pasta with no desserts available. I ordered an iced coffee (R) for 330 yen. Payment can be made using various electronic money, QR code payments, or credit cards. The restaurant has over 50 seats, with about half occupied by smokers. Although there is a distinct tobacco smell, the place seemed well-ventilated and not overly smoky. Smokers will find this kind of restaurant convenient and appreciated.

Shinjuku Gyoen is a 1-minute walk away. This is an introduction to a cafe where you can smoke cigarettes. It may be tough for non-smokers as smoking is allowed here. In recent years, the smoking rate in the country has been decreasing rapidly, especially with the increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes. People who smoke traditional cigarettes are starting to become a rare breed. Despite this, I still can't seem to break free from traditional cigarettes. And then I found this cafe boldly named with "Tobacco". I've seen a few of these cafes in Shinjuku, and they seem to have a unique business concept. The coffee here is priced at a reasonable 320 yen per cup, which I appreciate. They also serve food, although I have never tried it. I come here to smoke cigarettes and have a cup of coffee. It's not the best cost-effective choice in life, but I can't seem to quit. This cafe has been a lifesaver for me.

The restaurant had a unique pasta menu and delicious-looking sandwich photos that caught my attention, but since all seats were smoking allowed, I thought it was not for me. One day, I saw a poster at the entrance announcing half-price pasta. During the half-price period, there was a good deal on pasta and drinks, so it seemed like a decent offer, and I wanted to try it. Nowadays, most places are non-smoking, so I was curious about what it was like in a smoking allowed establishment. When I entered the restaurant, I was momentarily taken aback by the strong smell of cigarettes, but it was expected as it was a smoker's paradise where non-smokers were guests. The air conditioning seemed to be working well, or perhaps there were many heat-not-burn tobacco users, as there was no smoke in the air. I ordered an Iced Cafe au Lait (R 380) and a rich Porcini Cream pasta (half-price 330 yen). They gave me a buzzer to notify me when the order was ready. It had been a while since I had a Cafe au Lait instead of a Cafe Latte when dining out. I often make it at home. When I added a piece of gum syrup, it became quite sweet, almost like a taste for kids. After about 5 minutes, the buzzer went off, and I went to the counter to pick up my order. The staff handed me the pasta with a smile, along with some powdered cheese and Tabasco sauce. Despite the restaurant being quite spacious, the single staff member managed to provide calm and friendly service, which was very pleasant. The Porcini Cream pasta was served with Fettuccine. It had a taste that seemed familiar, like frozen food, and some parts were burnt (?) and clumped together. However, it was nicely presented on a large plate, so the overall atmosphere was not bad. The option to add powdered cheese and Tabasco sauce, which I don't usually have at home, was a nice touch for flavor variation. The pricing seemed to include the cost of providing a smoking area, but I think it's a great place for smokers to relax.

I had morning coffee at "SMOKIST COFFEE" near Shinjuku Gyoen. It's a cafe near the Marunouchi Line station on Shinjuku Street. As the name suggests, it's a smoker's oasis, filled with the smell of cigarettes. I ordered the A Morning set for 480 yen, which included a pizza & cheese calzone and an iced coffee. The calzone had a softer pizza dough with tomato sauce, sausage, and cheese, which was delicious. The coffee was a refreshing, slightly bitter taste. They also offered lemon liqueur to add to your water, which was a nice touch. However, all the customers were smokers, making it unbearable for non-smokers like me. I hope cigarettes disappear from this world soon.
