We are vegetarian. The restaurant is able to customise and swap fish for eggs and another fish side dish for tofu. The coffee and ice cream dessert is also very delicious.

Very cute café with nice bentos with a lot of veggies. We are vegetarian and they were able to accommodate for our dietary restrictions.
One downside was that they asked us to queue by waiting at the nearby temple since we didn't have a local number. They apparently didn't see us when it was our turn and we waited quite a while (40min) so if the same happens to you, we would recommend waiting nearer to the café...

In a wonderful space.
The food was being cooked in a cramped space in the kitchen.
There is seating for 8 people at the counter and 10 to 14 people in the back space.
The main menu includes three types of plates, an omakase plate, and a roast beef plate (limited edition).
Each plate has its own characteristics, including meat, vegetable, and restaurant originals, and comes with rice and miso soup.
I ordered a meat plate and a limited roast beef plate. The meat plate has three types of meat: pork, roast beef, and chicken.
Desserts are also carefully selected, such as gelato and coffee jelly. (I'm planning to eat while walking, so I'll pass this time.)
All of the meals were delicious, but personally, I found the miso to be very delicious with a strong dashi stock. (I almost wanted to ask you how to make it lol)
It looks like you can make a reservation, so next time I'll make sure to make a reservation first.
In February 2024, I made a reservation and visited again.
It's still delicious.
However, the only thing I can't stand is the young man working part-time who puts his thumb in the rice bowl and serves the food. I lost my appetite.

I visited without a reservation after 11 o'clock for a holiday lunch. By chance, there wasn't a line and I was able to sit at the counter. The plate, where you can enjoy both meat and fish, has plenty of vegetables, and you can enjoy a variety of things little by little, making it a delicious and fun lunch! Add mango to salad. Coffee and dessert are charged separately. The soybean flour gelato was smooth, sticky, and delicious!
The restaurant isn't that big, so I was worried about the line outside, so I couldn't take my time and left right after I ate...I wish I could take my time a little longer, but it's a popular restaurant.

Make a reservation by phone. Holiday visit. Reservations are accepted from the time the store opens until 11:30 and from 1:00 p.m. During the peak lunch time, there are many customers coming one after another. It seems like the operation will call you as soon as a seat becomes available, even if you don't have a reservation.
The food is delicious and says "it was carefully prepared!"
