Doutor's German Dog is delicious, isn't it? The light texture of the bread is also nice. On a weekend morning walk, I stopped by to have their morning set menu. I ordered the Hot Morning Bacon & Egg with melting 3 kinds of cheese, which has a long and luxurious-sounding name. I also got an iced coffee set. I added a German Dog as an extra item. It felt like a bourgeois act to have breakfast at a cafe and even add a German Dog. It was a dream-like experience for someone like me, a commoner, to achieve something I could never do in my younger days. I savored the joy of completing the meal while basking in the achievement. Thanks to Doutor, I have joined the ranks of life's winners.

In my work system, there is a night duty shift, and those who have night duty tasks are required to undergo health check-ups twice a year. Even my stingy company has started requiring employees to do this a few years ago. However, being a stingy company, the second check-up is the cheapest option available, just checking urine, height, weight, and blood pressure. I reluctantly went for the second check-up just to fulfill my obligation, thinking what's the point of doing this. After the check-up, not wanting to go back to work yet, I decided to treat myself to a Bacon Egg Sandwich Morning at Doutor, which I had seen occasionally. The Bacon Egg Sandwich with cheese was as delicious as I had imagined. Doutor is more like a hot dog place, I haven't had one in about 3 years, but it was still good (laughs).

Doutor provides a sense of stability. I love their pumpkin tart, so even after graduating as a student (my part-time job was at Doutor), I will still visit Doutor if there is no Starbucks nearby. (Starbucks has OneMoreCoffee, after all) Items received: - Americano: Consistent taste at any store. It never disappoints. Store features: Located along the Yamanote Line, the store has a steady flow of customers coming in and out. The store is not as dirty as expected. There may be some shady customers meeting up, but it's not a big concern. I visited a couple of years ago during the Shitaya Seven Lucky Gods tour, and it's a good place to take a break.

Iced coffee (S) 220 yen. Opening hours not specified, but open until 9pm on weekdays.

I used it while waiting at Hagi no Yu. I ordered a cafe latte for 250 yen. The ordering options here are S, M, L. It's the simplest and easiest to understand, so you can order with confidence. But there were also people ordering tall.

Doutor Coffee, 19th location ==========

I stopped by in Uguisudani during a work appointment. It's conveniently located near the north exit of the station. The café has both a 1st and 2nd floor, so it's quite spacious inside. I had my usual iced coffee for 220 yen. Today's coffee was a bit strong with a hint of bitterness, which really woke me up. Thank you for the meal.

I tried Doutor's seasonal limited edition "Hojicha Latte". It seems like Hojicha is popular among girls these days. There are three types of Hojicha Latte at Doutor: Hojicha Latte: S 340 yen ~ Hojicha Latte ~ Kinako Black Sugar ~: S 370 yen ~ Hojicha Latte ~ Sesame Marshmallow ~: S 390 yen ~ I chose the "Sesame Marshmallow" one because it looks cute. (*´∀`*) Hojicha Latte ~ Sesame Marshmallow ~ S: 390 yen Three round marshmallows are floating in the cup. I took one marshmallow on a spoon and ate it. Inside the fluffy marshmallow, there is black sesame sauce which is sweet. The marshmallow floating in the Hojicha Latte slowly melts. The Hojicha Latte with melted sesame marshmallow still has a hint of sweetness. It was a warm and comforting winter drink.

Even the top-ranked Uguisudani Station in the "Most Pathetic Station Ranking" doesn't escape the presence of Doutor. The shop is conveniently located near the station's ticket gates. As you exit the north gates of Uguisudani Station, you'll find local shops lined up on the right, while chain stores like McDonald's and Matsuya dominate the main street leading to Goto-dori in the east. Surprisingly, there's no Yoshinoya, but instead, you'll find Kyoto Taru, which houses a Doutor named Uguisudani Kitaguchi Store. Are they planning to open a store at the south exit too? It makes you wonder with a naming like that. How many Doutor stores are there in Tokyo? You can find a Doutor near any Yamanote Line station. Take a break and order your usual iced coffee at Doutor, present your T-point card for points, and pay with Suica. Sit down, take out your Pomera, and enjoy your coffee while watching trains pass by from the second-floor window. I always like cafes where you can see trains from the window. Uguisudani is a district in Taito, Tokyo, centered around Uguisudani Station on the Yamanote Line and Keihin-Tohoku Line. The name Uguisudani comes from the tradition of releasing nightingales in the area, initiated by the head priest of Kanei-ji Temple and a Kyoto noble during the Edo period. Although there is no administrative division named Uguisudani, the area is known for its love hotels on the east side, as well as the Nezu district, once home to many literary figures. West of the area lies Kanei-ji Temple and Ueno Park, with the famous Asakusa Kannon Temple's Morning Glory Market nearby. Uguisudani was part of Kanei-ji Temple's territory during the Edo period, resulting in numerous temples in the Ueno, Nezu, and Nishi areas, with fewer high-rise buildings and apartments compared to other parts of Tokyo. Ueno Park and Sakura-dori are a five-minute walk from Uguisudani Station. The south exit of the station is undergoing renovation, including the installation of elevators. The south exit attracts students from Tokyo University of the Arts and vocational schools, couples strolling in Ueno Park, and elderly visitors paying their respects at nearby graves. The Tokyo Kinema Club and dance halls host idol performances, drawing crowds of fans. Despite the presence of love hotels, Uguisudani is not a red-light district like Gotanda, Shinjuku, or Ikebukuro. While there are no visible adult entertainment establishments, there are numerous delivery health services. Although Uguisudani is often associated with love hotels due to their proximity to the train tracks, the number of such establishments is significantly lower compared to areas like Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Shibuya. Uguisudani gained fame through the comic song "Uguisudani Music Hall" by Rakugo performer Tsurukou.

I stopped by at the Doutor café near Uguisudani Station before heading to "Kappo Saito," a restaurant I had been wanting to visit for six months. The café wasn't too crowded, about 70% full. The staff were friendly and the explanation about the menu was thorough. I ordered an iced coffee and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. The seating was comfortable, with tables attached to the walls allowing me to comfortably cross my legs underneath. Free wifi was available, making it a great place to relax around Uguisudani Station.

I visited the restaurant to try their new menu. I felt like one sandwich wasn't enough for lunch, but a light lunch is good for the body. The restaurant was quite spacious, with single seats available on the first floor. The second floor had a smoking area, and the counter seats were by the window. The ingredients were finely chopped, making it easy to eat, but the bread was softer than it looked, so I felt like I could finish it quickly. There was plenty of lettuce and other ingredients, but it lacked in volume. The chicken wasn't sliced, but shredded, so it didn't feel like there was much. I thought that sliced chicken would provide a better texture. The set with iced coffee had a discount, costing 610 yen, which wasn't bad for a cool break. I still felt like one sandwich wasn't enough for lunch. They were also selling a new item, "Yuzu Tea with Honey," for 300 yen.

This is my favorite store. The reason is that it is always easy to get in because it is not crowded, partly because it is in the location of "Uguisudani". I have been here many times. Also, there are surprisingly few stores that offer organic sugar called "Organic Sugar" so that also becomes an excuse to come here. It is more relaxing to get off one station away and go to the station front than to have coffee at Ueno Station, so you can take a break in a very relaxing environment. The store is also clean. The water is also freely available, which is a thoughtful service.

I used it for dinner this time. I was unsure what to order, but I ended up ordering a blend coffee. Order details: Blend Coffee (S) 220 yen. The blend coffee was a bit on the smaller side, but it had a nice balance of flavor that was not too strong or too weak, making it easy to drink and delicious. The shop has a somewhat cramped and slightly chaotic atmosphere. The tables were wet, so it would be nice if there was a bit more cleanliness. This coffee shop is located near Uguisudani Station.
