Milky Way – Way Better Than the Bar

So this is Milky Way, a star and constellation themed cafe in Ikebukuro. Even though the food itself is not out-of-this-world (pun intended), it’s worth a quick beam down (hehe).

They have 13 constellations on their star map, with the ‘normal’ 12 Americans know (Pisces, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Leo, Cancer, Taurus, Scorpio, Capricorn and Sagittarius) and an ‘extra’ constellation that just came back due to the Earth’s rotation / the ancient Babylonians only wanting 12 signs. Introducing the snake, Ophuchicus.

You can order desserts by constellation, and they have all the dates to make sure you know when yours is. (I used to be an Aquarius, but am apparently a Capricorn now).

Anyhow, let me show you how delicious snakes can look.

And even better…it smokes!
