Sangenjaya is in the Setagaya Ward in south-west Tokyo
三轩茶屋在东京西南部的世田谷区
it is only a five minute train ride away from Shibuya station
距离涉谷站仅五分钟火车
yet it has a completely different atmosphere.

So are you guys ready to check out this area with me?
大家准备好跟我一起探索了吗
The first place I went to was this coffee shop called Komeda Coffee.

They have more than 400 branches across Japan

so sometimes you might have to write your name down
所以,有时候你需要先登记你的名字
and wait a little before they call you.
然后等他们叫你
It has a comfortable atmosphere
这里的环境非常舒适
so it's a great place to come alone or with others.
无论是自己来,还是跟朋友来都非常不错
And when you come to Japan
你要是来日本的话
most places will give you this Oshibori, a wet hand towel, to wipe your hands before you eat
很多地方都会给你这种湿毛巾,供你在用餐之前擦擦手
I get so use to this that I miss not getting it when I'm overseas
我都已经习惯了,所以当我不在日本没有这个东西的时候我都会想念它
There's a lot to choose from but Komeda Coffee is famous for their sandwiches.
这家咖啡吧有很多吃的,但人气比较高的是他们的三明治
The food sold here is also a very typical breakfast meal for Japanese
他们家卖的也是日本人典型的早餐
Their sweets and coffees are also very popular here.
他们家的甜点和咖啡也非常受欢迎
I wasn't too hungry so I decided to get the egg bun
我不是很饿,所有我决定要一个这种鸡蛋汉堡
and when you're ready to order just press the bell and they will come
准备好点餐之后,你只要按一下这个铃,服务员就会过来
So this is what it looked like
那鸡蛋汉堡就是这个样子的啦
Komeda Coffee cuts up the egg
他们把蛋切碎之后
and mixes it with Japanese mayonnaise which makes it taste really good
和日式蛋黄酱混合在一起,味道真的非常不错
and actually egg and mayonnaise is a typical filling in Japanese sandwiches.
其实,鸡蛋和蛋黄酱是日式三明治里一种典型的夹心

It's really interesting, the Japanese infrastructure is really different.

and it's so cramped, all these little back alleys
这些后街到处都特别拥挤
they hardly have any gardens
几乎没有什么花园
so you know, what do the kids do?
你懂的,那小孩儿都干嘛呀
I mean, when I was a kid I loved to play in the garden
我小的时候就喜欢在花园里玩啊
but then again I'm from New Zealand
但是,又要说一下,我是新西兰人
so that's all we had, like nature and all that stuff
我们有的就是大自然之类的东西
Ah the typhoon is coming, look how windy this is

I personally love local areas, as you know,
