4. CAFE LIFE: FUGLEN
“Fuglen: a dash of Norwegian charm in Tokyo
Tucked in a quiet nook a few steps away from the Shibuya madness, Fuglen
manages to display all aspects of Scandinavian peacefulness and stylish
interior design in the form of a café, cocktail bar and furniture showroom.
Hailing from Oslo, Fuglen, in Norwegian, means “The Bird”. The warm,
dark-wooded and slightly retro space looks like it’s straight from the 50s
or 60s, and pretty much everything surrounding you is for sale: the sofa
you’re sitting on to sip your coffee, the lamp above you, and the table on
which your cocktail is served.
Fulgen’s design aesthetic is not too far off Japanese, and combines a natu-
ral, simple aesthetic with an extensive use of wood to create what looks
something like a Japanese-teahouse-meets-Scandinavian-cottage.
The menu offers a selection of espresso blends made by skilled baristas,
both Japanese and Norwegian: you could luckily have your drink whipped
up by a Norwegian barista, visiting as part of an exchange program with the
Oslo branch, or by some of the most talented in Japan. (...) “
