I was a bit weary about coming to this newly opened cafe since it is owned by the pachinko center below, and the previous cafe was filled with chain smoking businessmen. However, the new modern and clean decor, as well as the menu items make me glad I gave it a try.
It seems that this cafe tries to keep their customer's health in mind. For one, the lunch set starts off with a supposedly healthy vinegar drink. The rice is a multi grain mix, as is the bread if you order toast on the side. My lunch looks to be one of those fried, fat laden pork tonkatsu steaks, but it's actually a mille-feuille non-fry version (980円, includes soup, salad and rice). Thin slices of pork are layered, then coated with panko and baked. The sauce is a bit different than usual, as it has mustard hidden in it. Being layered pork, it was soft and easy to chew. The seasoning came from only the sauce, so I could enjoy the flavour of the pork and crispy texture of the panko, while using the sauce as a dip for an accent. The mustard actually works well.
I'd like to try their non-fry chicken kara-age or their most popular hamburger patty with house-made demi-glace sauce. Although it's still filled with smoking businessmen, and perhaps people taking a break from gambling, this cafe's menu and atmosphere can accomodate people like me looking for something different and new.
