The toast was slightly warm and fluffy. The runny sunny-side-up eggs were perfectly cooked, two of them! It was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast also came with yogurt for dessert, all at a reasonable price. The atmosphere was elegant, with regular customers chatting quietly. The strong and bitter coffee was also delicious.

A cafe located in Naya-machi where local residents relax. I had the lunch special which was Chicken Teriyaki & Croquette with rice and coffee. It costs 720 yen including coffee, which may seem a bit small in portion for the price. Thank you for the meal. Smoking is allowed, so non-smokers and families with children should be aware.

I went to eat at this restaurant during lunchtime. It wasn't too crowded. The curry seemed like it was for commercial use. The tonkatsu had a normal taste. It's just a regular Western-style meal. However, the omurice I had before was delicious. I think this place is good for passing time with coffee, having lunch when hungry, or trying the omurice.

I felt like having omurice, so I visited a restaurant. It was a Sunday morning, a little after 11:00, and surprisingly there were quite a few people there. The chicken rice had a wonderful taste, with just the right amount of tomato ketchup flavor, so much so that the egg didn't even need ketchup. The egg wasn't perfectly cooked, but it was okay. There were chicken pieces in it. It cost 620 yen.

In Fushimi Momoyama, there is a retro cafe called Milk Blossom Matsubara located in the Naya-machi shopping street. It seems to be a cafe that has been operating for over 40 years in the former main store of Matsubara Milk, a local milk shop in Kyoto. The cafe has a nostalgic atmosphere with vintage furniture and a courtyard in the middle, filled with greenery. They offer a variety of classic cafe menu items like parfaits, cakes, sandwiches, and pasta, as well as light meals. I visited for coffee and hotcakes, which came with fruit on the side. The mixed juice had a nostalgic taste. It was a pleasant experience to enjoy the retro menu and decor while basking in the soft sunlight in the courtyard. I would love to come back for lunch sometime.

I had been eyeing this shop for a while. I usually go to the chain store in the shopping street, but I decided to try somewhere new this time. When I entered the shop, I noticed a slight smell of cigarettes. Oh no! I realized that this was a smoking-permitted shop. Despite that, I took a seat. I ordered an iced coffee. It arrived after a short wait. The taste was just average. I wish the place didn't smell like cigarettes so I could relax more. I managed to endure as I was sitting far away, but then a heavy smoker sat at the next table and it was game over. The glass of water had been empty for a while, but they didn't refill it. The service level was quite low. It was a bit disappointing, with a retro Showa era vibe.

I visited this restaurant for lunch for the first time. Apart from two middle-aged women in our group, the rest of the customers were elderly. The place was quite busy, so I thought they must be running a good business. I ordered today's set meal, which came with a drink for 680 or 690 yen. It consisted of tofu hamburger and pork skewers. The meal also included a moderate amount of salad, some warm vegetables with the hamburger, and half of the skewers were made of onions. The taste was average, and the portion felt a bit small. It might be suitable for the elderly customers who frequent this place. It made me realize that as we age, we may also seek opportunities for social interaction through dining out.

Around noon on August 30, 2019 (Friday), I suddenly felt like having the pork cutlet curry from "MILK BLOSSOM" for lunch, so I headed straight to the restaurant! It was exactly 12 o'clock, and it was raining, so the restaurant was about 60% full that day. I was seated at a large table in the back of the restaurant by myself. As soon as I sat down, I ordered the Pork Cutlet Curry for 720 yen (tax included). It took about 7 minutes for the dish to be served. The pork cutlet was well-prepared, with a homemade touch. The pork was not particularly tender, but it was still delicious. The size of the cutlet was generous. The curry sauce had a European style, slightly thickened, and it had a good balance of flavors. Instead of the usual Fukujinzuke, they served Shibazuke, which is typical of Kyoto. The rice was cooked perfectly and had a good taste. The mini salad consisted mainly of shredded cabbage with a sesame-flavored dressing. Just like last time, it was a delicious Japanese-style pork cutlet curry that you can enjoy without any worries. Thank you for the wonderful meal! ♡♡♡♡

It is my first visit in about a month to "MILK BLOSSOM" on July 29, 2019 (Monday) at 12:10 PM. Upon entering the shop, I noticed a daily signboard near the entrance that read "Today's Lunch: Minced Cutlet 690 yen (tax included)". I proceeded to the back of the shop and took a seat at a table for two by myself. I requested a menu book from a female staff member and decided to order the "Hamburger Set (with rice and drink) 900 yen (tax included)" from the regular menu. After a wait of about 14 minutes, the dish was served. - Main dish: The hamburger was topped with a fried egg. The size of the hamburger was slightly smaller than expected, but it had a good texture (not too hard or too soft) and a strong beef flavor. The demiglace sauce was mild but tasty. I wish it had a bit more volume, but overall it was a delicious hamburger. It came with potato salad and a lettuce-based salad as side dishes. - Rice: The rice was delicious and fluffy. - Drink: I chose iced coffee as my drink on that day, and it was enjoyable. Considering that the hamburger set came with a drink and cost 900 yen, it was a decent deal. I thought it might be more convenient if they offered the set without the drink for 800 yen, but overall it was a satisfying meal. Thank you very much.

Around noon on June 24, 2019 (Monday), I visited "MILK BLOSSOM" for the first time in 40 days to have lunch. The daily special displayed outside the store was "Omelette & Chikuwa Tempura," but it didn't quite appeal to me on that day. So, I decided on the classic menu item displayed in the glass showcase - Chicken Cutlet (with rice) for 830 yen (tax included). I sat at a table for two near the entrance, which I later realized was right next to the restroom. The food was served after about 10 minutes. The chicken cutlet was made from thigh meat cut into individual pieces, breaded, and fried to a crispy texture. The meat was tender, and the sauce was generously spread over it. I added a bit of Worcestershire sauce from the table for an extra kick. The side salad included cabbage, lettuce, and potato salad, providing a satisfying volume. If I had to make one suggestion, I would say adding miso soup or another type of soup would make the meal perfect. Next time, I'll try a different classic menu item. Thank you for the delicious meal.

On May 14, 2019 (Tuesday) at noon, I was in the mood for curry and decided to visit "MILK BLOSSOM" as I couldn't find a place serving curry rice in the main street area. It had been about a month since my last visit. Before entering the shop, I saw a menu photo of curry in the glass showcase at the entrance, and there it was - Katsu Curry! I quickly ordered the Katsu Curry for 720 yen (tax included). It was served in about 8 minutes, and it came with a mini salad which was a nice touch. The portion size was decent, and the handmade pork cutlet was of regular size. The curry sauce had a creamy texture and a sweet taste followed by a hint of spiciness. The beef was finely chopped and mixed into the sauce. The vegetables seemed to have melted into the curry. The rice portion was sufficient for a full meal. The Katsu Curry was exactly what I had in mind for that day, and I felt satisfied with my choice. Thank you for the delicious meal! ♡♡♡♡

On April 9, 2019 (Tuesday) at noon, this is my second visit to "MILK BLOSSOM". During my previous visit, other customers were having lunch and then enjoying coffee, but my bento box did not come with coffee. I remembered wanting to have their coffee after my meal. As I entered the restaurant, I sat at the same table as last time and ordered the daily lunch special for 690 yen (tax included). I chose a hot coffee to drink. The daily special was tempura, including shrimp, pumpkin, fish cake, green beans, and eggplant. The tempura was crispy and tasty, like homemade tempura. The side salad consisted of shredded cabbage, sunny lettuce, and julienne carrots with dressing. The rice was served on a plate and tasted good. The post-meal coffee was rich and nostalgic. Overall, the lunch portion was a bit small, but with the included coffee for 690 yen, it was worth it. Thank you for the meal! The food was served in about 5 minutes.

On March 22, 2019 (Friday) at noon, I visited a shop that had caught my attention for some time as many MyRevi members had visited before. The name of the shop is "MILK BLOSSOM" located in the Nayamachi shopping street. When looking at the entrance from the shopping street, it has an old-fashioned coffee shop atmosphere. The lunch menu was handwritten and displayed on a notice board, and as I entered a bit further, there was a large glass showcase with various menu panels inside. As I proceeded to the back, there was a glass door entrance with an automatic door that was a bit slow to respond and opened after a pause. However, once inside, the atmosphere was slightly different from what I had imagined from the outside. The shop had a vertical layout, with a glass-covered courtyard visible in the center of the room. The natural light coming in made the interior bright and healthy. I sat at a 2-person table near the wall and asked the female staff to show me the menu. They offered a variety of options such as daily lunch specials, weekly lunch specials, and regular set meals. I ordered the favorite menu of MyRevi members, the Yakiniku Bento Box (served with miso soup) for 720 yen (tax included). After waiting for about 10 minutes, the meal was served. It was presented in a lidded bento box container. When I removed the lid, a delicious aroma of grilled meat wafted out. The yakiniku was seasoned with a sweet and savory flavor, with a hint of miso, enticing the appetite. The portion of meat was generous, providing a satisfying meal. The side salad included cabbage and potato salad. The potato salad was also homemade and delicious. The rice was tasty, and the miso soup was good as well. After finishing the meal, I suddenly realized... did the meal come with a drink? The ladies next to me who ordered the daily lunch were served coffee afterwards. The staff cleared the bento box and soup bowl from the table, and although I waited for a while, they only came to pour water, so I assumed that a drink after the meal was not included. I paid the bill and left. Looking at the menu in the showcase outside the shop, indeed, the yakiniku bento did not come with a complimentary drink. The customers mainly consisted of local elderly gentlemen and ladies, but there were also office workers and young women dining alone. I felt that this shop has maintained its popularity in the area for many years. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Dimly lit, smoking allowed throughout, soothing ambiance.

Lately, I've been hooked on this yakiniku bento (^^) There's nothing particularly special about it, but it's subtly delicious (^^) The meat in yakiniku bentos from cafes is often tough, but this one is not too tough and has a good flavor (^^) The rice at this shop is also delicious (^^)

I wanted to go to a cafe and found one. Near the entrance from the street, there is a part that looks like a milk shop, and a cafe with a slightly aged automatic door a little further back. There is a small garden in the center of the long and narrow shop, which brightens up the interior. The front and back parts of the shop remain dark, and customers seem to choose where to sit based on their preference. I ordered a Vienna coffee. It costs 400 yen and comes with a lot of whipped cream on top. Inside, there is FM radio playing and the smell of Neapolitan pasta. The vinyl floor looks dull and not very clean. Everyone is reading magazines in their own style, creating a nostalgic atmosphere of a traditional cafe. A hot coffee costs 300 yen, and it's a nice place to relax a little with some greenery.

This café is located right near my company, within a shopping street. I come here almost every day. The best thing about this place is definitely the cost performance. You get a daily lunch set with a drink for only 690 yen. It seems they recently raised the price by 10 yen (lol). The taste of the daily lunch is not bad. It might be a bit small for young men with big appetites, but it's good for women. You can choose from various drinks, and the coffee is also decent. You can even choose miso soup instead of a drink. It's a good option for salarymen on a tight budget.

It was a nostalgic feeling to visit a Showa era-style coffee shop with menu samples displayed at the storefront. The shop had an old-fashioned charm that is rare to find nowadays. The interior had a traditional Kyoto townhouse design with a central garden filled with potted plants. Despite arriving around 2 pm, the place was quite busy with mostly elderly customers enjoying a leisurely atmosphere. The only downside was that smoking was allowed at each table. I ordered a budget-friendly Western-style bento box for 720 yen. The food presentation was different from the menu photos, with a smaller portion of salad, hamburger, fried chicken, and croquette. Despite the initial disappointment, the food turned out to be surprisingly delicious, especially the hamburger and homemade tartar sauce. Overall, the experience evoked nostalgia for the good old days of Showa era coffee shops, making me overlook the minor discrepancies in food presentation. Rating: 3.1
