Comments:
This was opened not long ago in September 2012 so had wanted to check this place out and for those who are familiar with this Japanese accessory brand, you should be able to imagine that their desserts would look as cute. 
We arrived at around 5pm-ish on a Sunday hoping to avoid any crowds during 'tea time' hours however there was still a bit of a queue which didn't look that long but it moved very slowly as we could see customers inside taking their time enjoying their dessert and taking lots of photos. So we did exactly that too.  We got our table about an hour later...
The display of the food was cute indeed and we could see most people ordering the plate sets with their signature macaroons and biscuit tiramisus that copy exactly what their accessory designs look like.  Lucky they weren't sold out on those...

Recommend: 
ハンバーグ早矢仕オムライス (hanbaagu Hayashi omuraisu) Hamburger Steak & Omelette Rice with Hayashi sauce JPY1500 (extra JPY600 for salad & drink set)
Comments:
One of my all-time favourite omelette-rice places.  Although a little more expensive than your average omelette-rice, it definitely tastes better than your average ones.  I always order the same thing here - the hamburger steak and omelette-rice with the Hayashi sauce.  Texture of the hamburger steak is done just right and goes really well with the egg, rice and sauce.
