I had breakfast at the café called Eikoku-ya in Kamihonmachi. It's a chain café that I hadn't tried for breakfast before. The toast breakfast is 500 yen, and the toast sandwich breakfast is 600 yen, which is surprisingly cheap. I always thought Eikoku-ya was a bit pricey, but the breakfast prices are reasonable. The drinks available are iced coffee and hot café au lait, with no extra charge for the café au lait. The toast is just regular bread, and the toast sandwich has egg paste and ham, a standard flavor. The iced coffee is like what you would get in a paper pack, and the café au lait is on the lighter side, which is easy on the stomach (laughs). The taste is typical of a regular café. The café is spacious with sofa seats, and the service is polite. It's conveniently located near the station and directly connected to Kintetsu Department Store, so the overall value is good considering factors other than taste. The sandwich breakfast comes with a salad, which is a nice bonus. They also offer curry for breakfast, options other than coffee drinks, and you can have a refill of coffee, which are all advantages.

Kintetsu Uehommachi Station's underground English House. >> Banana and Chestnut Waffle When it comes to the English House, for some reason I always think of waffles... probably because my friend used to eat them a lot? I finally feel like I understand the reason for that (^o^) Why do vanilla ice cream and waffles go so well together... (*´꒳`*) It came with chestnut and banana, but maybe just the banana would have been enough! The combination of banana, chocolate, whipped cream, ice cream, and waffles is still the best, I think. >> Beef Curry Surprisingly delicious and I was pleasantly surprised! Ordering it was the right choice! (＾_＾) The meat portion was a bit small, but the curry was tasty enough. >> Coffee It was served in a Wedgwood coffee cup (^^) I thought English House had a traditional and quiet atmosphere, but it was actually quite lively. Still, it's a nice place to drop by for a light meal, and solo diners are welcome.

I visited Morning Curry from 09:30 to the evening, as they are open from 08:00 to 22:00. The place was quite busy with customers, and I noticed that they have a membership program. I have a member card which gives me a 10% discount, which is a good deal. Thank you. For my order, I had the beef curry set which came with salad, yogurt, and a set drink. I chose hot lemon tea, which was served in a pot. They even peeled and removed the seeds from two lemons for me. They also provided hot water for refills.

I visited the restaurant for dessert after morning at 10:50. Since morning ends at 11:00... I ordered a waffle set with a hot lemon tea. They also had shaved ice on the menu, so I want to come back next time. All seats are non-smoking, which makes me happy that it doesn't smell like cigarettes like before. I am a member of the store, so I always get a 10% discount. Thank you.

2020: 3rd visit ♪ Ate too much breakfast (lol), so for lunch I wanted something light and full of vegetables, and found a hit at "Eikokuya"! They have a lunch with plenty of vegetables and chicken - just what I was looking for. And as always, the attentive service is a favorite of mine (*^-^*) ★ Chicken and vegetable cafe lunch for 950 yen including tax♪ I asked for less rice... and this time, I noticed for the first time that the rice underneath is like pilaf with chopped seaweed on top! On top of that, there are plenty of vegetables, chicken, fried onions, and dressing - it's delicious, there's no way it wouldn't be! Depending on the location, some places may not have this menu, so please be careful everyone~ (*^-^*)

After the consecutive holidays, I felt sluggish both mentally and physically from the morning. I used the time before heading to a meeting for some relaxation. The interior and exterior of the place have a calm British-style atmosphere. The behavior of the staff is also refined. As soon as you enter, you are asked if you smoke or not. Being a strong anti-smoker, I naturally chose the non-smoking area. However, this place is pseudo-separated for smoking. That's right. You can still sense the tobacco flavor in the non-smoking area. It's not completely separated like in a foreign cafe. That was disappointing. I ordered a café au lait for ¥650, and it was delicious. The perfect balance of coffee and milk. The sweetness of the milk was enough, so I didn't need to add sugar. The background music was classical. I think modern people need this kind of calm time too. It was a short time, but it helped me feel refreshed. I wonder if this place will become completely smoke-free after April 1st. I hope so. Thank you for the meal.

The British shop on the B1 floor of Kintetsu Department Store Uehommachi. The atmosphere of the cafe is calm with many sofas and subdued lighting, but when I sat down, it smelled like tobacco, giving it an old-fashioned coffee shop feel. The shop's recommended menu item, the "Mixed Fruit Float," had mixed fruits topped with ice cream, like a mixed fruit version of a cream soda. Most of the ice had melted, making it perfect for quenching the thirst caused by the winter heating. I left soon after drinking because the lingering smell of tobacco bothered me, but it seemed like businessmen and diners were staying longer for meetings and meals.

I visited the restaurant on B1F of Kintetsu Uehommachi. It is a smoke-free environment all day. I went for dessert after 10:45 in the morning. They had a lucky bag, so I couldn't resist buying it. I got 2 bags of 120g English House blend coffee powder, 1 pack of 6 drip coffees, 1 pack of 10 blend teas, 3 packs of English House curry, 2 English House gift cards worth ¥500 each, 1 Morning C, and a set of plain waffles. The waffles were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and I enjoyed them with plenty of maple syrup. For my morning drink, I chose hot lemon tea. I was able to choose from different types of tea today, and I chose Darjeeling tea. Since I got the English House member card, I received a 10% discount on my purchase.

I visited a chain restaurant for the first time and tried their baked curry. It was like a curry doria. It was my first time trying it, but it was served piping hot! It was a mild curry with a small portion, more like a cafe lunch. When I arrived, it was empty, but from around 2:30 PM, customers started coming in one after another, and it became almost full. It was quiet when it was empty, but it got quite lively when it got crowded. It seems like the cafe time is more popular than the lunch at this place.

I visited the restaurant at 10:20 in the morning. It is located on B1F of the Kintetsu Department Store in Uehommachi. The restaurant is open from 08:00 to 22:00, with morning service until 11:00. It is a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. There are both non-smoking and smoking sections, but there is a slight smell of smoke near the smoking area. I had the morning set with a plain waffle and maple syrup, which was a good deal. The waffle was crispy and delicious. I also ordered a hot lemon tea, which was served in a pot with plenty for about two cups.

<First visit in October '19> Memo as follows... Despite being labeled as a smoking and non-smoking area, the smell of cigarettes is still noticeable inside the restaurant. Unable to find another option, I decided to enter and sat at a two-seater table alone. The seating capacity is large, but only about half of the seats can be used due to the layout. I ordered the following from the morning menu (available until 11 am) * All come with a morning drink ・D Thick Toast (with boiled egg) (¥500) ・E Cheese Toast (¥600) In a place where smoking is limited, it seems to be a valuable place for relaxation. It might be tough for non-smokers...

At my mother's request, I quickly finished shopping at Kintetsu Department Store in the morning. Let's go try their morning set at the café. I rarely go to cafés, so it's like an adventure! I was surprised when I walked in! It was quite popular and customers kept coming in. I ordered the toast sandwich set and enjoyed the free refill of coffee. It was a relaxing and leisurely time. Morning at a café is nice once in a while. "Thank you for the meal ☺︎"

The cherry blossoms in the streets and parks are beautifully illuminated. Today, I decided to take a break and visit Eikokuya in Uehommachi. The shop looks the same as always. When I opened the menu, I immediately chose the "Sakura Waffle" set with ice coffee. It costs 1300 yen including tax, and you can have free refills of hot or iced coffee. The waffle was freshly baked with sakura mochi ice cream, red bean paste, shiratama dango, and sliced strawberries. It had a Japanese taste to it. The waffle was crispy, and I enjoyed it with the ice cream, red bean paste, and strawberries. The matcha coffee also went well with it. It was delicious!

The British House is a slightly upscale cafe located on the basement floor of Kintetsu Department Store in Kamicho. It is a must-visit cafe in Kintetsu Department Store, with branches on the 11th and 9th floors. The seating is divided into smoking and non-smoking sections, although it doesn't seem to be strictly enforced. Despite being crowded on weekends, the Chiffon Cake Set with a choice of coffee, tea, or orange juice is average in taste. The prices are a bit high, but they offer a reasonably priced morning set.

I often use this place to pass time during breakfast or lunch. It's good for quick visits, but it can get crowded depending on the time of day.

Having breakfast at a British cafe. It's nice that it comes with a salad.

This is a café located on the B1F of Kintetsu Department Store in Kami-honmachi. The interior has a Western atmosphere with classical music playing, creating a relaxing environment. The service was a bit lacking. I ordered the seafood gratin and iced coffee set for 1100 yen. The gratin was hot and quite filling, and the iced coffee was delicious.
