I went to Deus Ex Machina, which is gaining popularity again these days.

Deus Ex Machina" from Australia, which has its roots in vintage motorcycles, surfing, and skateboarding, seems to be popular again recently, with a cafe on the first floor that is packed day and night, and a gallery bar on the basement floor that is open every Friday night and frequently hosts solo exhibitions by notable artists. The cafe on the first floor is packed day and night, and the gallery bar on the basement floor is open every Friday night. I visited the store with actor Junya Kasuga, who often drops by on a whim, to check out the new fall/winter collection in the second-floor apparel store.

If you get tired, you can go to the cafe on the first floor.
Mellow break.

When I was finished shopping for clothes, I took a short break at the cafe on the first floor. Coffee alone is fine here, but the sandwiches are also very good. Also, when I have time, I stop by for a beer before it gets dark in the evening, and it's great. It seems that my colleagues from the office also use this place from time to time. We take a leisurely break while flipping through a casually placed photo album. It may seem like an ordinary moment, but such moments can be an important way to refresh yourself.

Gallery Bar.

. Grabbing my coffee mug, I went straight to the gallery bar on the basement floor to view the artwork. This is a free space that hosts solo exhibitions of artists curated by "deus ex machina" and is also open as a bar every Friday night. It's nice to see everyone spending their time in their own way. Mr. Kasuga is also very interested in the space.
