Inside you can taste a bit of okinawan style beef, and a collection of multinational musicians are bashing out some folksy tunes in the Okinawan tradition. Yes welcome to the bizarre disorienting blend with is London's multicultural specialty. Two people speak Japanese to each other, one is Italian living in Dusseldorf, the other Singaporean living in London. We're all friends now, and a streched white limo cant turn round the corner to pick up the black/white groom who add to the crowds outside the cafe, but are in fact emerging from a venue nexy door. Race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, culture, just the superficial details, mere frosting on the cupcake of life, noone need be from anywhere, everyone everywhere be here right now. Dalston the coolest place on earth.
