A casual but modernly furnished cafe, it seems pretty popular at lunchtime.  For the daily lunch, you can choose from the daily special omelette rice, pasta, grilled item or curry.  I chose the simmered chicken in a rosemary tomato sauce (900円).  The thick sauce had lots of little chunks of tomato and other veggies in it, making it easy to coat and eat with the chicken.  The one complaint I have is one that I have of a lot of food in Japan; it was a bit too salty.  I now know why the Japanese like rice so much.  The saltiness of the main dish makes you crave something plain to accompany it.  I did however, enjoy the rosemary seasoning that matched well in the sauce.

This cafe seems to also specialize in omu-raisu (seasoned rice covered in an omlette).  They offer flavours other than the usual ketchup. Cream sauce omu-raisu, for example, in addition to a variety of toppings to choose from, you can build your own dish.
