Cafe Dining Giraffe (Jirafu) in Higashi-Fuchu, Tokyo, is a newly opened restaurant as of December 3, 2022. Located 130m past the old Koshu Kaido road on the north side of Higashi-Fuchu Station on the Keio Line, it is where the coffee specialty store Musashiya used to be. The interior features exposed concrete floors, walls, and ceilings. The ceiling pipes are covered with aluminum, and stylish large downlights resembling exhaust pipes are located above the counter. There are four seats at the wood counter wall made from recycled wood in the open kitchen area. Additionally, there are four 2-person tables placed along the walls and by the windows. The overall interior design is contemporary, with a view of the ginkgo tree-lined street from the windows. The lunch menu includes three types of panini sets (spinach, ham and cheese, shrimp salad), a rice set (beef stroganoff), and a salad set. It is also possible to choose from the dinner menu. They offer tea time with cakes and drinks, including various types of coffee, tea, lemonade, beer, highball, sour, and sparkling drinks. For dinner, there are appetizers, cheese platters, vegetable frittata, tomato stew with seafood, smoked salmon, meat dishes like smoked duck or pork belly, grilled chicken, veal cream stew, Iberico pork kalbi, and the highlight, Ice Wine for 3,080 yen. Today's lunch for two people included: - Ham and Cheese Panini Set: 1,100 yen - Beef Stroganoff Rice Set: 1,320 yen - Fresh Lemonade: 660 yen - Cold Brew Iced Coffee: 550 yen The Beef Stroganoff came with a glass of carrot salad and green salad, as well as a cute glass cup of pumpkin hot potage soup, making it a stylish dish. It was a delicious and tender beef dish with plenty of mushrooms and a nice crunchy texture from the onions. The panini was served on a single plate with marinated mushrooms, green salad, and a cup of potage soup. It had a crispy texture and was very enjoyable to eat. The restaurant is run by a local Fuchu family (today, the father was in the kitchen and the son was in charge of the dining area), providing friendly and pleasant customer service. I look forward to trying the Ice Wine next time. Highly recommended.
