In February of this year, our Golden Retriever passed away, so I visited this place because I wanted to see Golden Retrievers. Four dogs welcomed me, and they were so cute. I was told that I needed to make a reservation in advance for meals, so I just had a coffee.

Seeking healing, I visited a cafe with retrievers for the first time in my life! As I parked my bike in front of the shop, I could already feel the gaze of the Golden Retrievers staring at me through the glass door. There were three of them! Their innocent eyes were so soothing, just like therapy dogs you see at hospitals. It was around 11:00, so my friend and I shared an oil sardine cream pasta along with coffee. The pasta had a firm texture with flat noodles, and the right amount of saltiness from the sardines, making it delicious. The coffee had a bitter taste that I personally enjoy. I was thoroughly comforted by Sora, Shi, and Merry, the three dogs. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited a cafe & bar where I could meet Golden Retrievers and pet them a lot.

I had a delicious café au lait and cappuccino, but I got distracted by the dog and forgot to take a picture of the tea... For those who like dogs, please check it out. Thank you for the meal.

Located on the south side of Kitano Middle School, I found this place on Tabelog. If you walk a little west down the street, you'll see it right away with its striking red door. When I visited around noon, a friendly motherly figure was reading the newspaper. This place also has a salon attached, and it seemed like someone was currently using it. The interior is unified with red tones, giving off a chic cafe vibe. There are about 5 red counter seats and a red sofa with fluffy cushions. It could accommodate around 6 people comfortably. When I asked if they served rice dishes, they kindly replied, "Please take a seat." The cozy sofa was very calming. Looking at the menu, they offered items like Pilaf for 650 yen, Curry starting at 750 yen, and Pasta for 800 yen. There was also Corn Soup for 200 yen. You could add 100 yen to the Pilaf for extra toppings. The Mild Vegetable Curry for 750 yen caught my eye, and I ordered it. A friendly gentleman took my order, exuding a cool vibe. First, they brought out water and a warm towel, both in red. The relaxing music in the background helped me unwind while I waited for about 10 minutes... Finally, the Curry arrived, steaming hot. Interestingly, they even switched my water glass when serving the dish! I dug in right away. The rice was shaped like a rugby ball with parsley on top. The curry was of the smooth variety. As the name suggests, it was very mild. However, the rich aroma of spices was irresistible! The spiciness gradually crept up on me, leaving a lingering heat. The flavor was indescribably rich. As the menu indicated, the curry was packed with vegetables - onions, carrots, red bell peppers, cucumber, and fried potatoes. The fried cucumber had a unique texture, while the potatoes were tender and fragrant. The creamy sauce added depth and enhanced the mildness. The spiciness was addictive, and I found myself enjoying it more with each bite. This place is actually a dog cafe. I had been looking forward to meeting the Golden Retriever, but it seemed like it wasn't around today. However, another dog appeared and greeted me before heading back out. It was adorable! The dog eventually came back and peacefully napped inside the shop. Unfortunately, the other dog was not present at the moment. Despite that, I had a relaxing time enjoying the spicy curry and being comforted by the dogs. The staff was warm and welcoming. While the portions may be small, the flavors are satisfying. This place offers something that fills your heart beyond just your taste buds. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will definitely visit again. If you're feeling tired lately, I highly recommend stopping by this place for a heartwarming and smile-inducing experience.

I used to go to this place quite often before, so the situation may have changed now, but the unique feature of this restaurant is that there are two smart Golden Retrievers! I used to have a large dog myself, but unfortunately, it passed away, leaving a hole in my heart. I happened to stumble upon this place, and the dogs are always clean and there is no smell of dogs in the slightly small interior. They have a calm demeanor and will come up to you for a pet when they feel like it. The owner is reserved but very friendly when you talk to him, and he looks quite cool with a rider suit displayed on the wall, so he may have been a former racer. He has a cool appearance. If you're lucky, the owner's mother may appear and tell interesting stories (she appears when she sees someone looking lonely). She used to run a beauty salon here in the past, and I noticed a perm chair in the back of the shop. The food is not extensive but incredibly delicious! It tastes like authentic cooking. They also have a wide selection of alcohol, although I only drink sake, so I don't remember much about it. The counter seats about four people and is set up like a shot bar. I mainly came for the dogs, so I felt like I got a good deal. The sofa is soft and deep, so sitting down and petting the dogs makes you feel sleepy and relaxed. The location is about 200m north of the Enmachi intersection (Nishioji Marutamachi) in Enmachi, and when you see Kitano Junior High School on the left, turn left at the next intersection (Nishioji Myoshinji Road) and go west for about 30m. The entrance door of the restaurant is vertical, and you might miss it if you're not careful. It's a hidden gem.
