This small café is a real gem. The food is delicious and beautifully presented - among the best food I have enjoyed in Japan. The café is owned and managed by a friendly couple who speak some English. They also have an English language menu. If you are in Tokyo, it is highly recommended to take the Tobu Skytree line to Kanegafuchi station and enjoy this unique, charming café.

The place is really nice and the owners are super friendly! Also for me that I speak poor Japanese. It was really hot outside so I got some refreshing Sukkiri Somen. The cuisine is authentic and simple, but at the same time full of flavors. Here you can taste real Japanese food in a comfortable place.
