We found this place on a local information website and it was our first visit. Eihoka-san had already been here before. It was helpful to know the menu in advance so we could carefully choose. We ordered the following: Prosciutto and dried baby sardine mixed grain salad (with sesame dressing) + onion-rich soy milk and bean soup for 900 yen, glass cake for 350 yen, and strawberry Calpis yogurt smoothie for 500 yen. The cafe is located along Sensha Road, in the place where Chiba Coffee used to be. The previous cafe was nice, but I think this one might be a new setup. The atmosphere is cute and the chairs are comfortable sofa-like ones. The menu is supervised by a registered dietitian, focusing on delicious and healthy dishes. The mushrooms are from a local farm and the vegetables are from Matsura Farm. The menu features soup as the main dish, with 6 individual options available. We chose a set menu with soup. There are 4 main dish options, 4 dressing options, and 5 soup options for the set. The food is meant to be mixed together, but we ate it separately. The soup was not as hot as expected, which was perfect for those with sensitive tongues. You can also order the salad without mixed grains or with mixed grains and no soup. We chose the Red Salad, which looked visually appealing. The main dishes include grilled chicken thigh, which was crispy and delicious. The glass cake is made from the leftover parts of cakes from Nanairo, a nearby bakery, to reduce waste. The cake we had used three types of berries (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry) and was very tasty. I usually have coffee, but this time I tried the strawberry Calpis banana kinako smoothie, which was fizzy and had a nice balance of flavors. The environment-friendly cafe uses paper containers for takeout. Due to the emergency declaration, only takeout is available until further notice. They offer takeout at a discounted price and will bring it to your car if you wait. The owner seems to be a savvy person, resembling Marilyn from curling (in my opinion). The staff, mostly young and beautiful women, are all very slim and stylish. There is a young boy working hard as well, but please be understanding as the cafe has just opened. They also sell cute and lovely chopstick rests. They will start serving soft-serve ice cream from June, but the seating area will be limited due to wiring work. The dinner pasta menu also looks interesting, but for now, they close at 6:30 pm. For the latest updates, check their Instagram! Thank you for the delicious meal.
