On a certain weekday, I visited a small cafe located at 1-cho, Higashi 20-jo Kita, in Higashi Ward. Since there was no parking lot, I had to ask the staff for nearby coin parking options, and they informed me that Round One had an agreement for parking, which was a relief. The entrance to the cafe is a bit hidden on a narrow street next to a supported employment shop, so it took me a while to find it. The building itself is an old, large house-like structure, and upon entering, I found an open space with a few simple tables and caster chairs, giving it a unique handmade feel with interesting wallpapers. The background music playing was songs by Miyuki Nakajima. From the menu, I chose the "Soup Curry" lunch set, which was said to be ready quickly. The coffee cup arrived with a pitcher of milk for self-service, which was a nice touch. When the meal was served, I was surprised by the large portion size. The soup had a thick consistency and a good balance of sweet and sour flavors, with a hint of spiciness from garlic and ginger. It was quite spicy, similar to a moderately spicy dish from an average restaurant, so I didn't need to add the homemade chili powder provided. The soup was filled with pumpkin, okra, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, boiled eggs, and three large pieces of chicken breast, which was impressive. The rice was served on a flat plate, and although it was a bit firm, it complemented the soup curry well. I finished the meal with the remaining coffee. At the time of payment, they kindly offered me a tamago sandwich and fried sweet potatoes as a gift, which were both delicious. Overall, the cozy atmosphere of the cafe reminded me of a friend's mother's home, and I had a pleasant dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

A single-family house renovated into a café. It is located in a difficult-to-find flagpole lot despite being on a main street. The owner, a woman, runs the café alone and has a very modest and pleasant demeanor. The interior is decorated with many roses, giving it a feminine touch, and the simple furnishings create a cozy atmosphere. On the day of the visit, the music of Miyuki Nakajima was playing, which somehow suited the owner's vibe. Soup Curry - 880 yen The soup is thick and creamy like a loose curry, made with vegetable broth and chicken bouillon, using a roux similar to Jawa curry with added spices for a refreshing taste. The spiciness is moderate, and additional spices are provided for adjustment. The homemade-style roux is delicious. The ingredients include 3-4 pieces of chicken thigh meat, which adds a dynamic touch. Some of the pre-cooked ingredients are soft, but the grilled chicken pieces are tough and a bit difficult to eat due to their size. My egg exploded in the microwave, looking like sliced squid rings (lol). The generous amount of rice, along with plenty of ingredients in the curry, left me feeling very full. To finish, they served a nostalgic homemade cupcake with self-service coffee and milk. The tableware was made by my favorite brand, Wedgwood. While there are various reasons for being in the food and beverage industry, it seems that profit is not the main priority for this café. The cost performance is truly impressive.

In November 2022, I passed through a narrow path between a building with a motorcycle shop along Higashi 1-chome street, just off Sohonzawa Street, and a café on the ground floor. I had been wanting to visit this café after reading about it on MyRebi. There is no parking available. The café has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a bright interior. I looked at the menu and ordered the soup curry with less rice. It came with a coffee. The spiciness can be adjusted with spices. It took about 10 minutes for the food to be served. When I tasted the soup, it was rich and had a smooth consistency, similar to a roux curry. The vegetables were sweet, and the spices were well balanced. I added some spicy spices to suit my taste, and it turned out great. The ingredients included boiled potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, broccoli, and lotus root, all of which were fresh and delicious. The soft-boiled egg and chicken thigh meat were generously portioned and tender. The rice was cooked to a firm texture. I requested less rice, and I received a 100 yen discount at the checkout. This café provides excellent service, and the staff are friendly, creating a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying your meal.

It's raining heavily here. This restaurant is a bit hard to find because it's in a flagpole area. There is a coin parking lot on the north side of the restaurant, which is recommended for parking. The interior of the restaurant is simple, with about 9 small tables set up. It's not really suitable for families with children. The owner offered some sample dishes like egg sandwich, meatballs, and fusilli salad for tasting. I ordered soup curry and coffee. The first drink served was jasmine tea, which was a nice surprise. The soup curry was more like a curry with a thick sauce, and it had three big pieces of potato, which I didn't like. But the three boneless chicken legs were impressive. The taste was sweet and Totoro-like. The spice level was medium, so I recommend adding some extra spices for more heat. Overall, I think this restaurant has potential and I hope they do well in the future.
