An elderly couple runs this cozy café together, where you can hear Showa-era enka music playing in the background despite the Western-style decor. The interior looks like it has been around for a long time, with a well-maintained vintage charm throughout. The café is named "Kissaten San Remo," and upon looking up the meaning of San Remo, I found out it is a tourist city in Liguria, Italy. Although I couldn't confirm if the European-style furniture is Italian, the café exudes a lovely European atmosphere. The café has parking space for about three cars, one of which seemed to belong to the owners. I ordered the fried rice set, which came with miso soup, pickles, and a homemade creamy salad with a delightful mix of crunchy onions, cucumbers, and potatoes. The fried rice had a nice crunch from the fresh scallions, and the homemade ingredients added a unique and delicious touch. The pickles, similar to Nara pickles, complemented the rice perfectly. The scallion soup was a great pairing with the fried rice. Despite being labeled as a light meal, the fried rice was quite filling and satisfying. I was the first customer during lunchtime, but soon two elderly regulars arrived, followed by another customer, creating a cozy atmosphere of regulars chatting with the owner. After the meal, a hot coffee was automatically served, which had a smooth bitterness and a lingering acidity that was quite pleasant. Overall, the fried rice set was a great value and delicious, making me want to come back again. The drink menu also includes alcoholic beverages, so I wonder if they offer snacks to go with them.

Welcome! Located in the North 18th district of the North Ward, near Hokuto High School, if you head east towards 1st Street, you will find a residential area with a cafe attached. Gachon: "Welcome, please come in!" Inside the charming space, an elderly lady sits at the counter. A large speaker bass system is intricately set up next to a clock, playing soothing music from an FM radio. The atmosphere is serene, with the sound of Ave Maria filling the air. The cafe offers a variety of light meals and even whiskey tea. The unique sizzling sounds from the kitchen create an exciting anticipation. Soon, To-san arrives to help out, serving a delicious plate of spaghetti. The noodles are perfectly cooked and topped with an egg sunny-side-up. The dish is flavorful with bacon, onion, and ketchup, sprinkled with powdered cheese and Tabasco sauce. A corn soup accompanies the meal, tasting like Knorr or AJINOMOTO. After the meal, a complimentary dessert is served, with a note that drinks are included. The charming atmosphere is enjoyed by regulars and locals alike, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
