On the way back from Inagi Chuo Library, I stopped by here to have a light meal. As a change of pace and some exercise, I walked to the station passing by Jozan Culture Center. In one corner of it, there was a small café. I had visited once before, but at that time I left the library late and the shop was already closed. This time, I had plans to shop at Excita, so I left a bit early and was able to enter the shop. Looking through the menu, there were no bread items, but surprisingly, the food menu was quite extensive with onigiri sets, rice dishes, noodles, pasta, and desserts. I hadn't eaten lunch, but after looking at the menu, I felt like having rice. I asked the staff if I could have a smaller portion of rice with beef bowl and a little less sauce, and they kindly agreed to my request and served the dish. Thank you very much. The dish was beautifully arranged with kamaboko, shredded seaweed, and pickled ginger, with a homely and slightly sweet flavor. The meat was well marinated and tasted delicious. It came with a warm hojicha tea, which was comforting. I also felt like having coffee after the meal, so I ordered an iced coffee and the "Donguri Dogu Cookie" that caught my eye at the entrance. They offered it as a set with the drink. The cookie, made with acorn flour, had a rustic and fragrant flavor that went well with the iced coffee. The cookies and baked goods made by Eightpia Kobo in Inagi City can be purchased at other facilities and events in the city, but the Donguri Dogu Cookie seems to be a popular item. The one I had was the last one available that day. Some of the locals were quietly reading newspapers or books while enjoying coffee. It may get crowded during club activities at lunchtime, but I was able to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere during my visit. The early closing time makes it difficult to visit, but I was glad to find a quiet tea house. Thank you for the meal.

This is a cafe operated as part of a support program for disabled employment in the Josan Cultural Center near the supermarket Sanwa in Mukoyodai, Inagi City. I recently learned of its existence on Tabelog, and decided to visit with a light heart, thinking that eating would be a way to show support. Even if things get serious, it just becomes heavy, you know~ I finished shopping at Sanwa and made my first visit to the cultural center! A corner of the entrance is partitioned off and turned into a store. There are 5 tables for 4 people each, with two middle-aged customers sitting separately as the first guests. I sat down and received a glass of water, and the staff was very energetic and spoke clearly, which was nice~ There is a helper behind me, so I have no worries at all. I looked at the menu on the table and decided to eat the Mentaiko Cream Spaghetti set for 500 yen. The set drink was iced coffee, and I asked for it to be served after the meal. They brought Tabasco and powdered cheese to prepare, and soon the spaghetti arrived. It was a decently delicious lunch spaghetti to eat at a cafe, and I think it's good value for the price. I relaxed with the iced coffee they brought after the meal... Since they open at 10:00, it's convenient for me who prefers early lunch, so I thought it was highly valuable for me~

Inagicho City Social Welfare Council operates a cafe in the Castle Mountain Cultural Center on the first floor of the Sunny Terrace, which provides support for the employment transition of people with disabilities. The menu states that customers can sit wherever they like and the staff will bring water and take their order. The cafe aims to provide a relaxing space for the community and is run by individuals with disabilities to help them gain skills for future employment.

The review mentions the affordable prices and good service at the cafe, where customers can enjoy items like hotcakes and soba noodles. Overall, the reviewer had a positive experience and commended the Council for their efforts in supporting individuals with disabilities.
