The Terra Cafe Bar is a sleek new cafe with wooden deck terrace down in the industrial warehouse and office district of Tennozu Isle, Tokyo. It's run by Terrada Warehouse Company, the huge storage company whose headquarters is located just behind the cafe.

Terra's unique selling point is its reliance on preserved foods (hozonshoku). The cafe sells only dried, tinned, pickled, frozen and preserved foods. The eat-in menu includes frozen bread, retort pack soups and tinned curries and stews. There's a bank of 25 microwave ovens down one wall where you can heat up your orders.

The take-out menu offers dried fruits, pickled vegetables, canned bread and even military rations that can be warmed up with chemical heating packs (it takes about thirty minutes to warm the retort packs of curry and rice).

As the Japanese government continues to warn of imminent giant earthquakes in the Tokyo region, it makes sense for a storage company to try to cash in on those concerns with a shop dedicated to stocking Tokyo residents' post-quake kitchen stores. File under Only in Japan.
