Polish restaurant - Max 1921

This place is run by a couple who lived in Poland for a long time, and they serve various kinds of Polish dishes. Moreover, they display a lot of books of various genre in the restaurant!!  Art, politics, economy, languages, cooking.. so many kinds of books. Perhaps many have something to do with Europe.  It's like a book cafe with comfortable atomosphere.  Regulars come and chat with the owners.  The basement is even more interesting - it is like a salong with more books, CDs, comics, and old newspapers like those from the 70s!  It's a valuable collection.  There is a big table in the middle with about eight chairs, where meetings and workshops could be held.  

One magazine that caught my attention is one about Mishima Yukio's harakiri.  Mishima Yukio is a novelist and later a political activist, who represents the confusition and changes that early Showa era witnessed.  He and his company occupied a self-defense force's office, declared coup but received no support from the SDF officers, and killed himself.  That happened in 1970 and was a shocking incident in that era.  It's not a long time ago if you think about it.  

Anyway.. it was quite an interesting place to be, and the food was good.  Zurek is a soup with sour soup stock made from rye with lots of ingredients like carrot, onion, selery, and bacon. I'd love to try other dishes, too.
