Mr. Marilyn Monroe

Was wandering in Shinjuku last Monday (after finding out Cafe Narshisus is closed every Monday, D'oh!) when I came upon the Larsen Cafe. On the road alongside the Shinjuku Prince Hotel, it's a cafe/bar run by the indefatigable Shibata-san. He's 70 years old and has owned the Larsen for 44 years. (It's now in it's 3rd location in Shinjuku).

Full review coming later, including some juicy quotes from him about why he loves Norma Jean (he's got several dozen photos of her up on the wall in Larsen..)
