A few minutes' walk from JR Kameoka Station is a café that seems to have been there since I first came to Kameoka. The exterior has a well-worn charm, giving off a sense of a long-established establishment. I visited for their morning service. There are about 5 parking spaces in front of the shop. It's a convenient location with the station nearby. There were various options for the morning menu. You could choose just coffee and toast, or add eggs, etc. I chose the one with salad, scrambled eggs, and sausage. It cost 560 yen including tax. When it arrived, I was surprised by the size of the toast. It was about twice the normal weight, I think. Personally, I appreciate that they put milk in the coffee as I like it. From the window of the shop, you can see Nango Park, which used to be the moat of the old Kameyama Castle. It was a refreshing view on a nice sunny day. It seems like a good place with many regular customers.

Lunch on this day was in Kameoka. Due to limited time, I selected a restaurant near the station. It was my first visit to "Kunitel". The cafe had a spacious parking lot and a retro feel. The interior was very spacious and relaxing. I ordered the tonkatsu rice set. It came with tonkatsu, rice, shrimp fry, egg potato salad, broccoli and fresh vegetable salad, and apple slices. The daily special was a Japanese dish with a 20 yen discount, and miso soup was included. The food was served 18 minutes after ordering. I only had about 4 minutes to eat due to a meeting approaching. I tried my best to eat as much as I could. The tonkatsu was thick and large, about 8 pieces. The sauce seemed like demi-glace on the menu, but it was actually a tomato-based sauce. It was delicious and satisfying, but I left 3 pieces uneaten. The shrimp fry was crispy and tasty, although it didn't come with tartar sauce. The rice and miso soup were good, but I had to eat quickly and unfortunately went over time. I forgot to mention the price. Next time, I will come with more time to spare. Thank you for the meal!

The image of the beef cutlet using Kameoka beef looked good, so I went to check out the menu in detail. I noticed a daily special menu with three options, and in addition, I found a beef cutlet rice bowl for 1,000 yen (tax included) which I decided to order. However, when I tried to order it, they said they were not serving it at the moment. Feeling disappointed, I ordered the tonkatsu set meal for 830 yen (tax included) instead. It took longer than expected for the meal to be ready, about 25 minutes. The tonkatsu was thick and the sauce was light and gentle, which was a unique feature. The meat was relatively light and the rice was slightly soft. Overall, it was a relaxed and casual lunch like a cafe-style meal, and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

A stadium has been built in Kameoka! I think this restaurant will get crowded in the future, so I decided to do some research. Even though soccer fans will flock here, there are few dining options around Kameoka Station, mainly just cafes where smoking is allowed. It used to not bother me, but now it's tough to go out for a drink, especially during meals. They offer daily specials and fried dishes for lunch! I was drawn to the Kameoka beef cutlet in the photos on Tabelog, but they weren't serving it, so I had the pork cutlet set instead. Today, they offered complimentary miso soup. The tonkatsu was delicious, probably topped with a meat sauce that seemed different from demi-glace. The presentation was beautiful, and I enjoyed a rabbit-shaped apple for dessert. It may not be popular with men, but the rice, which has a big impact on my recent ratings, was excellent!

Napolitan 660 yen (+50 yen for large size). A nostalgic Napolitan dish. I came alone but couldn't help but smile. The chewy noodles and classic ingredients combined with the flavor of ketchup. It was delicious with a gentle taste. I'm weak to this kind of dish. The restaurant was quiet with a nice atmosphere. I will definitely go again.

I thought for sure this place would have gratin❣️ and when I went there, they didn't have macaroni gratin but they had cheese curry gratin. Curry sounds good too^_^ It was served in a heat-resistant dish, with hot cheese pilaf covered in curry, a soft-boiled egg in the middle, and plenty of melting cheese. It was bubbling hot and quite filling. I managed to finish it all╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ It was quite a lot, so it got a bit repetitive towards the end~ But the price was surprisingly cheap at 700 yen‼️ It was a sunny day❣️ and it was hot, so I had an iced coffee with sugar already added~ It's rare these days. There was a variety of lunch options with generous portions and affordable prices, so the place was bustling with customers. If I feel like having Western food on my way to Osaka next time, I'll come back here^_−☆

I recommend the hamburger (^_^)

This time, I used the café services, and I was surprised by the variety of food options and the affordability of the prices on the menu. I had noticed that there were always a few cars parked in front of the store, so I assumed it was a popular place, and now I understand why. I definitely want to visit again for lunch next time. The interior of the store has a warm atmosphere that really captures the nostalgic feeling of the Showa era. It's not cheap-looking at all, but rather elegantly nostalgic. It's a highly recommended space.

On the way from Kyoto to Osaka, I sometimes stop in Kameoka on the Kyoto Jukan Expressway for a little sightseeing and lunch. This time, there was a clothing exhibition at a koji shop in Kameoka, so I decided to take a peek before heading to the exhibition. But first, lunch! I found a café near the moat of Kameoka Castle ruins. It looked quite classic and had plenty of parking spaces. The interior of the café faced the moat, and the lush greenery and lotus leaves floating on the water surface were beautiful this time of year. Unfortunately, the Tanba beef bifukatsu that I was looking forward to was not available. So, after much deliberation, I settled for the chicken tatsutaage lunch set. The set included four large pieces of chicken tatsutaage, an ebi fry, and spaghetti hidden underneath. It also came with a salad, potato salad, beef kinpira, a fried egg, a rabbit-shaped apple miso soup, and rice. Since I had plans for a luxurious dinner and drinks in Osaka later, I decided to go easy on the rice. The chicken tatsutaage was delicious and the portion was generous. The ebi fry was served without tartar sauce, but the potato salad was a nice surprise with beef kinpira hidden underneath. The miso soup had dried fish flakes (iriko) at the bottom, and it was flavorful. While enjoying the view of the moat outside, I noticed an ashtray on the table, even though there was a non-smoking section. It could have changed the atmosphere if someone was smoking indoors. The restroom was traditional Japanese style, which is rare these days. Overall, the café had a nostalgic charm, and the lunch was delicious. I wonder when they will resume serving the Tanba beef bifukatsu. After lunch, I visited the qotoriya clothing exhibition at the koji shop. Unfortunately, the koji was only for display and not for sale. Kameoka has some interesting shops if you explore a bit.

I don't count how many times I've been here, but I occasionally use this cafe. There are smoking and non-smoking sections, but there are no partitions, so this time I sat in the non-smoking section and could still smell smoke from the smoking section. This cafe has been around for a long time (probably over 20 years), so having a non-smoking section feels a bit outdated. The coffee has a mild bitterness and a strong acidity, giving a refreshing impression. The lunches are quite generous in portion size, well-balanced in nutrition, and affordable. The cafe has glass windows, and I would like to come back during cherry blossom season to enjoy a leisurely coffee while viewing the flowers. The menu is cute, with katakana written in half-width characters, "zenzai" spelled as "zendai," and "strawberry parfait" written as "strawberry hafé." I would like to visit again.

It's about a 5-minute walk from Kameoka Station. It's a cafe with a green exterior. I had the cake set. I forgot the price, but I think it was around 700 yen. The cake was a light roll cake that seemed like it could be sold at a supermarket, topped with fruit and cream. It's far from being a pastry chef's cake, but it had a nostalgic Showa-era taste and was delicious. The iced coffee was also good. It was cheap and easy to use, which was nice. Lunch is available for under 1,000 yen with various Western-style set meals that looked delicious.
