Pottering with Brompton.

Riding a bicycle at your leisure in East Tokyo. Sauna and beer at Touken is the goal.

To go for a leisurely stroll on a bicycle without any purpose. This is called pottering. Unlike a race, it is a time to stop and admire the scenery, to suddenly jump into a store, or to pedal in vain. This time, we will be pottering around East Tokyo. We will ride Brompton's "Brompton", which will be available for rental at the pop-up at Hamacho "Token".Classic Editon". I decided to go back to "Touken" and toast with sauna and beer! That's all. A trip without a destination is the best luxury.

Spot_02 Dill Pickle Club

Then, we headed to "Dill Pickle Club" in Torigoe. The store is filled with eccentrically shaped lights, colorful sundries, designer chairs, and other items that make one's heart dance.

Everything we have for sale is for sale, including popular masterpieces, anonymous items, artwork, and new items. One axis among them is vintage. The owner of the store, who never misses to read materials and study to know the background of the items, selected items based on his knowledge and sensitivity, and as a result, the items were of different nationalities and ages. However, the items are all "things that I can confidently say are good," and they are all available to the point of being graceful.

The original light with hat. Safety is guaranteed under expert supervision.

The café & bar inside the store offers baked goods and coffee. The owner, who is also an interior coordinator, is happy to answer any questions you may have about your room or interior design over the counter.

I didn't want to stop at just buying and selling things. The owner says, "I don't mind if people use it as a place to exchange information. True to his word, the shop is sometimes used as a venue for events and drinks in the evening.

If you have a Brompton that folds up compactly, you can consult with the store and they will let you leave it inside.

This store is ideal for those who want to select a special item for themselves by taking their time and listening to the story of the item, rather than just visiting and buying. It is not just a place to buy and sell, but a place where you will want to come back again and again, as if it will become a hub of the community.
