From the display case of food models at the entrance, this café exudes retro charm. Climb the narrow staircase beside it to the second floor, and you will find a distinctive space bathed in dazzling light. From the window seats, you can also watch JR trains passing by.
The café serves yoshoku—Western-influenced dishes introduced to Japan and adapted over the years into a distinctly Japanese style. Pair coffee with parfaits, cakes, or ice cream that have been presented in the same classic style for decades, or enjoy a filling yoshoku dish such as hamburger steak or omurice.
