Walking from Ginza towards Shinbashi, I found myself on the quiet Mikaban Street during the day. I wondered when this street got its name. I always referred to it as the road next to Kinshun Street or Namiki Street. Feeling hot and thirsty, I suddenly stumbled upon a sign for a seemingly inconspicuous building. Climbing up a narrow, steep staircase, I was greeted by a cute sign for a shop offering cut fruits and fresh juices on a sublease basis. I ordered a limited edition pear juice, and was presented with two huge pears, each the size of a fist. The staff skillfully peeled the skin off the pears and then juiced them in a blender with ice. The resulting drink was incredibly delicious. I later found out that there is a shop in Nakano as well. I definitely want to try different flavors next time.

I stumbled upon a fruit juice shop with a sign and decided to check it out. The shop is located on the third floor of an old building without an elevator. It seems to operate as a pop-up store only during the daytime. They offer smoothies, juices, and cut fruits made from seasonal fruits, with a focus on strawberries at the moment. They have options like strawberry milk juice and strawberry yogurt juice, but I opted for a simple strawberry juice. It was sweet and delicious, with just the right amount.
