For dinner, I decided to visit "3/4" based on my mood. I had known about the neighboring "Sō" since it was a dry cleaner, but I never had the courage to go in and kept putting it off, haha. These types of cafes are mostly gatherings for regular customers, but I felt like I needed to explore some new places before running out of options. After all, I had previously visited a cafe owned by a futon shop or a cafe attached to a pachinko parlor, so I felt like I could easily go now! I parked my car and entered the shop without feeling much tension. There wasn't an intimidating atmosphere, but maybe I just got used to it, haha. As expected, there were regular customers gathered inside. The shop owner was friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable... but maybe that's just because I got used to it? Haha. I ordered the "Pizza Toast (¥400)" and a "Coffee (¥200)" as a starter. I was also interested in the parfait, but when I tried to order it, I noticed that it was no longer on the menu, along with other ice cream-based foods and drinks. Cakes and bread were also no longer available, so if you want sweets, you should go to the crepe shop next door, haha. Does anyone actually drink hot Calpis? (laughs) The coffee comes with senbei rice crackers, a bean mochi from Iwatsuka Seika! I appreciate when a little snack is served with the coffee, like at "○ is Uchi" shop! The coffee was clean and easy to drink, with no off-flavors. Cafe coffee is delicious, but traditional kissaten coffee can be quite elaborate. The Pizza Toast, which I waited about 10 minutes for, was unexpectedly thick-cut! The beautifully browned cheese looked very delicious! The cheese was generously used, and although it's hidden by the cheese, there were plenty of green peppers, bacon, and onions, which was nice! Adding pepper gives it a spicy kick and acts as an accent, so maybe a bit more saltiness would be good, but the cheese is thick and creamy, and it's piping hot, so I'm satisfied! The combination of the crispy crust and the crunchiness of the inside of the fluffy white bread is a sign that the bread was well toasted. Toast at a kissaten is just delicious! The fact that it's pre-cut diagonally from the start is also a nice touch, making it easy to eat. The kindness of the shop owner is evident in the consideration given to making it easy to eat. I still haven't visited the reincarnation of the shop known for "L○n" or Taiwanese ramen that are popular in Ebetsu, so I have to go there next. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I went to a maintenance workshop in Ebetsu before 11 am to get my car inspected! After some time, the inspection was finished a little after 12:30 pm. I also wanted to go to K's Denki and do some grocery shopping for side dishes! But before that, I got hungry, so I searched for a restaurant on Tabelog! I didn't feel like eating ramen. Tonkatsu was not what I wanted either! Hmm, I haven't had lunch in Ebetsu much, but I want a place where I can relax and eat. I searched for a restaurant that my followers had visited, and there it was! Moreover, it was a cozy coffee shop ☕️ When I read the reviews, it seemed to have good cost performance and looked delicious! Alright, let's find this place and go there. I pondered over the menu for a while (laughs). I often have ginger pork at the company cafeteria, and the pasta seemed reasonably priced and tasty, but yes, I haven't had hamburger steak recently. Let's go with that! I don't want to bother making a single portion at home. There were no customers in the restaurant, but it had a nostalgic feel and was relaxing. The name of the place seemed to be 3/4 Hamburger, and it came with lots of salad, rice, and miso soup. Yay, I'm happy because I drink miso soup more than the soup (﹡´◡`﹡ ) While eating, I chatted with the owner and ended up staying longer than expected (laughs). The coffee ☕️ after the meal was only 200 yen, and to my surprise, it came with a rice cracker! Oh my, is it really this good for such a low price? I was satisfied with the hamburger lunch and coffee ☕️. The conversation was enjoyable, and I ended up staying for about two hours! I felt bad for lingering, and the owner even served me tea. I left the restaurant after saying I would come back, but I want to visit again! I used to live in Ebetsu when I was a child. That's why I often go shopping in Ebetsu. There are various stores concentrated around Ougon, and recently, the Furesupo area has multiple stores in one place, which is convenient. Ebetsu has delicious bakeries and cake shops, so my recent hobby is visiting bakeries! I feel happy when I go to a delicious bakery. Also, I enjoy searching for and eating lunch at places like the one I visited today! Thank you for the delicious hamburger lunch and coffee ☕️. Next time, I'll invite my friends. I'm sorry for staying so long. I got some information on bakeries, and I want to visit this place again.

Until noon on January 2015, I revisited an old-fashioned cafe because I wanted to have a light lunch since it was later than usual. Here are some of the menu items: - Spaghetti (Meat) for 500 yen. There are 3 types of spaghetti available, and it's a good deal for 500 yen. - Toast set for 550 yen. If you order before 11:30, it's the same content but only 500 yen for a morning set. - Chocolate parfait for 500 yen. It comes with plenty of whipped cream and fruits like apple, banana, peach, and kiwi. It's more like a fruit parfait, but still a good deal for 500 yen. - Ice coffee for 350 yen (200 yen if ordered before or after the meal). The cafe owner is a friendly and cheerful woman who also gave me some snacks like rice crackers and cow tongue pretzels. The cafe is a cozy place where regular customers seem to gather. The cafe has been in business for 26 years and offers a variety of rice dishes, pasta, toasts, and more. I plan to try something different on my next visit, and definitely have the parfait this time.
