KLM inflight-magazine "Windmill"on DESHIMA-cafe

Those were the days, my friends....

Once was a lovely Dutch restaurant in Tokyo: Dutch cooks, personnel... We called it "Cafe Deshima.": good meals, 40 varieties of beer, wines, Dutch-cheap, and a Holland- experience with windmills, street-organs, traditional clothes, Those were the days, my friends....

We were, however in such an out-of-the-way place (Tokyo, Nakano), that the Dutch Ambassador, upon meeting me one year after we closed the place, said, with the help of an assistant, "Ah..... Mr Rebel of this restaurant, I am still planning to go there one of these days.... "

KLM wrote a nice article in its inflight-magazine Windmill;

Nowadays we support restaurant "Koek en Zoopie", the only restaurant with Dutch "uitsmijters" and handmade "broodjes" in Tokyo; worth more than one visit.
The menu is an improvement on the usual Dutch fare!!!
