I visited a cafe called Mountain in Kinshicho, which I had always wanted to go to. They serve old-fashioned curry rice and hotcakes. The curry rice has a slightly spicy kick to it but is sweet and delicious. The hotcakes are moist and tasty. I arrived just after lunchtime, so I was able to get a table quickly, but there was a short wait for the next customers. I'll start my diet tomorrow. Thank you for the delicious meal, Mountain!

A long-established coffee shop right next to Kinshicho Station ☕️ You can feel the history inside the shop. I had coffee and pizza toast for lunch on Sunday. The pizza toast was delicious with plenty of cheese. Toast at a coffee shop is in a league of its own. The coffee was also delicious with a refreshing taste.

In Sumida-ku, Tokyo, there is a coffee shop called "Mountain King" at 2-3-8 Kinshicho. The morning set has a nice Showa era vibe. It's frequented by locals and has a simple yet clean atmosphere. The thick slices of toast with plenty of butter are perfectly toasted. The A set costs 500 yen and comes with a small salad with a peeled boiled egg and kamaboko. There is also a second floor seating area. Places like this have their own charm. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at the restaurant around 4 p.m. on a holiday and was able to enter without having to wait in line. The interior of the restaurant was reminiscent of a traditional coffee shop, with a capacity for about 15 people on one floor. The menu and decor had a retro Showa era feel to it. The sweets and coffee were delicious.

Located just a 1-2 minute walk from the north exit of Kinshicho Station, this café is situated right across the main street. I visited on a weekday morning and found it to be a retro-style café with a lot of regular customers. They serve breakfast sets in the morning, which is nice. I arrived around 10 am, so I was able to order a morning set with coffee for only 500 yen, which was a pleasant surprise. The morning set included a slice of toast, a boiled egg, and potato salad. The food looked exactly as I had imagined, which was reassuring. The boiled egg was perfectly cooked with a slightly runny yolk, making it delicious. They also had a variety of sweets like rare cheesecake and apple pie, and I would like to try their pudding next time. However, the pudding is priced at 700 yen, which is more expensive than the 500 yen morning set.

■Access: 3-minute walk from Kinshicho Station■Overview: This retro cafe is located on a street facing the north exit of Kinshicho Station. Visited with a friend before watching a movie. The cozy atmosphere and wide variety of food made it a great find. They offer a morning set for 500 yen (coffee + egg sandwich), which seems like a good deal for a morning visit.■Menu:・Hot Coffee: A delicious coffee with low acidity and a deep flavor. Goes well with desserts.・Apple Pie: The thin crust is filled with plenty of apples, giving it a satisfying texture.・Homemade Pudding: I tried a bite of what my companion ordered. It has a moist texture, subtle sweetness, and a rich taste due to the use of brown sugar. A sophisticated flavor.■Impression: It's not easy to find a calm space near the station, so I'm glad I found this great cafe...! The retro atmosphere is also charming. Thank you for the meal.#Kinshicho#KinshichoGourmet#KinshichoCafe#RetroCafe

We left Otis and decided to try another cafe, so we came to Kissa Mountain. I had the homemade pudding (700 yen) and coffee (520 yen), while my wife had the cheesecake set (950 yen, with coffee). The homemade pudding had a hint of brown sugar but was light in flavor, while the cheesecake had a nostalgic taste. The coffee was more delicious than the sweets. We were able to use PayPay for payment.

Plat, this morning, I took a stroll around Kinshicho Station. Exiting the JR Kinshicho Station ticket gate, I headed towards the north exit where there is a bus rotary right in front. Walking along the rotary to the left, I arrived at the Honjo Police Station Kinshicho Kitamachi Koban. There is a traffic light to cross Honjo Street right by the police station. After crossing the signal and turning left, a short walk led me to the cafe I visited today, "Kissaten Mountain". The cafe was established in 1966 as indicated on the entrance sign. I entered the cafe around 8:50 am on a weekday. Inside, a female staff greeted me and guided me to a table for three at the back of the cafe. There were a total of four customers in the cafe, consisting of two pairs of male and female guests. I checked the menu which included morning service options such as coffee or tea with toast and boiled egg for 500 yen. I ordered the morning service with hot coffee. The morning service consisted of thick toast, salad, and boiled egg. The toast was crispy and golden brown, while the salad had crunchy burdock and carrot slices. The soft-boiled egg had a runny yolk that was delicious. The hot coffee had a refreshing acidity and a clean finish. I enjoyed combining the toast, salad, and egg, followed by sipping the hot coffee to finish the meal. Today, I had a delightful morning service at the cafe with a nostalgic atmosphere, and it was a satisfying experience for me, Q-chan. Thank you for the meal.

I had some errands to run, so I went to Kinshicho Station. I decided to have lunch at the longstanding cafe, Mountain, for the first time. I sat in the retro atmosphere of the cafe and asked the female staff for the Sandwich Lunch set for 1,050 yen including tax. I chose iced coffee as my drink. In just 7 minutes, the sandwich and iced coffee were served at the same time. The sandwich combo included egg and ham sandwiches with soft bread. I sprinkled some salt on top and finished it all quickly. The iced coffee was in a small glass but tasted good. Thank you for the meal. Payment can be made quickly and easily. After this, I headed towards Marui in Kinshicho amidst the noisy election campaigning at the station.

It was a visit after 10:00 on a regular day, but I was surprised by how crowded it was. However, the place has two floors, and only the first floor was busy. There were only a few customers on the second floor, where we could enjoy a leisurely breakfast. We placed our order right after entering the restaurant. We were handed the menu to make our choices on the spot. Then we were guided to seats on the second floor (payment was made at the first floor counter after eating). Some customers were ordering at their tables, so it seemed like the operation might vary depending on factors like the number of visitors and how busy it is.

A long-established coffee shop located right near Kinshicho Station. The first floor is non-smoking, while the second floor allows smoking. The coffee isn't that delicious, but the amount of butter is just right. They open from 7 am. ---Order--- Morning set ¥500 PayPay is accepted.

This is a revisit. I went around 10 am on a holiday. I ordered the A set of the morning set, which can be ordered until 11 am. It comes with toast, mini salad, boiled egg, and coffee for 500 yen. The difference between the A set and the B set is whether it comes with a boiled egg or a sausage. There was a new master who wasn't there last time. He was quite elderly, but I hope he continues to work energetically. Thank you for the meal.

A cafe located right by Kinshicho Station North Exit. I visited on a holiday morning at 9 am. There are seats on the 1st and 2nd floors. The 1st floor was empty that day, so I was seated by the window. I'm not sure what the 2nd floor is like, but later the 1st floor filled up and customers started going upstairs. They offer a morning service from 7 am to 11 am, which I ordered. Toast, sausage, mini salad, and coffee for 500 yen. It's probably just toast, but why does it taste so good at a cafe? The retro atmosphere gives off a nostalgic old-fashioned cafe vibe, and I was able to relax. I liked it, so I think I'll visit again. Thank you for the meal.

This morning, I had some business in Kinshicho. After having breakfast, I decided to look for a morning cafe and ended up in a nostalgic coffee shop that gave off a Showa era vibe. The interior was a bit cluttered and chaotic. The first floor was non-smoking, while the second floor allowed smoking. It was just before 10 o'clock when a table for four became available, so I quickly entered. The morning rush had calmed down a bit, but there were still a lot of dishes piled up. The tables and chairs looked well-worn, and the spacing between them was narrow. It seemed like a family-run business, with three women of different ages managing the place. They seemed friendly, but I couldn't believe they were three generations. The morning set was 500 yen including tax!! You could choose between boiled egg or sausage, and I chose sausage. I was served a coffee in a nostalgic small cup and saucer set. Then came the thick slice of toast, a small plate of spinach and apple salad, and some sautéed sausages on the side. However, the fork and plate were so small that it was difficult to eat. Nevertheless, in this tough economic environment due to the consumption tax increase, COVID-19, and the weak yen, it's appreciated that they are doing their best without pushing themselves too hard. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a cozy local cafe near Kinshicho Station for an strawberry fruit sandwich half drink set for 1140 yen ☕️✨ I arrived at 9:30 on Saturday and there was no wait. They also have a cheap morning set, but this time I ordered the seasonal limited strawberry sandwich. It had about 1.5 strawberries worth and a satisfying amount of whipped cream. The slight acidity of the strawberries combined well with the delicious taste!! The sandwich was fluffy and I finished it in no time. The coffee was light and refreshing. Even if you don't like acidity, it's not bad. The cafe seems to be run by a family and the atmosphere inside is very cozy. I had a great time relaxing there. Having a leisurely morning in Kinshicho is nice too. It's rare that you can use PayPay at a cafe and they also have an Instagram account! Recommended ★★★☆☆ 3.8 (Great for those who like cozy atmospheres) Taste ★★★☆☆ 3.8 Cost performance ★★★☆☆ 3.5 (The morning set is great value) Service ★★★☆☆ 3.5 Atmosphere ★★★☆☆ 3.5 (Has a nostalgic Showa era vibe)

I arrived at the café Mountain around 3 pm on a regular day. The first floor had a typical old-town café vibe, but the second floor had a nice atmosphere where you could relax. I ordered the fruit sandwich and drink set for 1680 yen including tax. Last time I came, it was around 1200 yen, so the price seemed to have gone up. The sandwich had regular whipped cream and regular strawberries, making it a typical fruit sandwich. It was delicious in its simplicity. I also ordered the cheese toast and drink set for 900 yen including tax. The toast had melted cheese with pepper on top. It was tasty, but it tasted just like homemade cheese toast. This was my first time ordering it, but I'm not sure if I would order it again. I wanted to relax, but the distinct smell of electronic cigarettes, a mix of fragrances and burnt vinegar, was too strong, so I left after 30 minutes. About half of the customers were smoking electronic cigarettes at their tables, but I was surprised that the whole floor ended up smelling so bad. It didn't seem like they were ventilating the place. Overall, this time the taste and service were disappointing. Thank you for the meal.

On the second floor of Kinshicho, there is a coffee shop called Coffee Mountain. It looks old and established, with a vintage feel. They open at 7 am and offer a morning service. I ordered coffee before going up the stairs. From the second floor, you can see the street and the station. The coffee had a mild acidity and a rich flavor, perfect for waking up in the morning. It was quiet in the afternoon. The first floor had regular customers enjoying their coffee. The second floor was more serene. The strawberry fruit sandwich seemed popular. They also offer half portions. I might come back for breakfast sometime.

It's January 8, 2023. I found a casual café on my way to Kinshicho Station. There was a photo of homemade pudding at the storefront, so I decided to enter without much thought. There were three female staff members inside. A sign saying "Please go upstairs" was posted, so I quickly placed my order before heading upstairs. I ordered the homemade pudding and a coffee, which came to a total of 1,140 yen. The upstairs was quite cramped with tables and chairs squeezed in. There were only four other customers upstairs, and smoking was allowed, so there was a slight smell of nicotine. The white wallpaper on the second floor seemed to have a brownish tint. The interior of the café was quite messy, giving the impression that maintenance was not a strong suit for the staff. The delicious homemade pudding, as shown in the photo, was carefully made and had a slightly acidic taste. The coffee was also to my liking. I wish they would pay more attention to the details and keep the place cleaner. It seems like the locals value this place, and with three girls working there, they could definitely improve it. Maybe they could take some inspiration and make some changes? A high school boy who came upstairs later found it amusing, saying it was like a ninja house. It might seem that way to younger people.

I had breakfast at Kissat Mountain in Kinshicho. It's a long-established coffee shop with a retro atmosphere. The coffee was delicious and I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal! 🙂

*Cash, PayPay (20% point back at participating stores until 30th September), LINE Pay accepted. *No smoking on the 1st floor, heated tobacco on the 2nd floor, and only paper cigarettes allowed under the outdoor tent. I finally visited this cafe that I've been curious about, just in time for the morning hours (7-11 am), when there is a lot of coming and going, so the sliding door is slightly open. I was intrigued by the green curry, but it is only available from lunchtime. Most people were ordering the morning set (toast, ice or hot coffee, salad) with choice A (boiled egg) or B (sausage) for hot @500 yen including tax. I asked the young female staff member on the floor for this set, and she brought me a glass of water and a paper towel. Inside the counter, a short-haired lady who seemed like the owner was managing everything on her own, instructing the staff member briskly while chatting with an elderly local lady at the corner of the counter. A typical scene of a Showa-era cafe! The water in the glass had the taste of tap water, which was nostalgic ^^; After a while, the hot coffee with milk and sugar arrived, and it had a slightly acidic taste, not freshly brewed. Next, the toast set came with a boiled egg and a small salad dish. The toast was thickly sliced, freshly baked, spread with butter, and cut in half, fluffy and delightful ♡ The yolk of the boiled egg had a soft-boiled part, and it was comforting to eat by spooning out the top without peeling the shell, like a poached egg. The small salad dish was a vinegary glass noodle salad, which might be a matter of personal preference. It was a quaint cafe, almost unchanged inside and out, right near the station.
