Does this count as Engrish?

I walked by this shop with a funny name in Roppongi and took a photo back in January.  The name of this shop begs the question, "What is the Hotman Style of Living?"  Perhaps I would have gotten more insight if I had actually gone into the shop instead of having a giggle and snapping a shot.

Have you ever been to Almond Roppongi?

I must have met people out front of the Roppongi Crossing Almond Cafe dozens of times during my time in Tokyo. That doesn't sound like much (especially since I've lived in the Tokyo area for almost 9-years), but I really don't like the Roppongi nightlife and usually avoid passing through...

Anyway, when I moved back to Japan, I noticed that the Almond Cafe in Roppongi had closed. I shed a tear momentarily, and realized that I never ever ate there. It was just a convenient meeting spot and landmark.

Recently, I was surprised by it's return.  It reopened in December 2010..  It's still pink, the awnings are gone, and it's in a new building.
