I struggled with this too for years, even when I lived in Japan - there are absolutely breakfast 喫茶 that open early (7 am or even earlier) for workers, in both cities and towns. the trick if you're using something like google maps is to search モーニング (morning) to find places that serve "morning sets"

Happy Valentine's Day!💘 (Or Night...?) Zagreus is handy with that heart-seeking bow on this occasion, while Melinoë's still learning the ropes.

May Aphrodite herself help you take your best shot today, or just have a lovely time!💘

I'm trying to save them.
