At this cafe, you order your drinks and food at the counter and relax in the seat of your choice.  I had the smoked salmon sandwich (450円） and made it into a lunch set (an additional 440円), with a salad or soup, and drink of choice.  I opted to try the potato, carrot and gobo mentaiko salad.  It was a bit too creamy and mayonaise-y to be called a salad in my opinion.  It seemed more like a sauce that should be added to pasta.  

The smoked salmon sandwich was classic with dill, capers, cream cheese and lettuce all on rye bread, so you can't go wrong here.  

Looking at the website, I'm not surprised to see that they use an unconventional drip style of coffee (they call it a double net drip).  Just one sip of this coffee and it's sweetness immediately infuses the mouth.  It's a natural faint sweetness, and it makes me wish this coffee house was on my way to work.  

The Jazz music playing through the speakers helps to take a breath and relax in this well-lit, wooden furniture cafe.
