Area: Kamejima Station (Higashiyama Line), close to the north exit
Restaurant: Maru-udo まるうど
This little cafe with table and stylish counter seating was a nice place to have a quiet, relaxing lunch. The owner/cook is very friendly and she was a pleasure to chat with.
The lunch itself (for under 1000 yen), was simple and filled with healthy veggies. The meat was just pan-fried ham (it was like kielbasa sausage, which I haven't eaten in a while so it was kind of nice to have). The salad had a sesame dressing, and the chilled tofu with bonito flakes was seasoned with a bit of soy sauce (hiya-yakko). The miso soup was a bit unique in that it had eggplant in it.
There aren't many food choices around this station aside from izakayas, so this cafe is a good choice if you're looking for an afternoon jolt in a quiet place.
It's a modern looking cafe but it's full of obasans (older women) during morning service hours. It could be because young people need to go to work, and don't eat breakfast, or because the person behind the counter was also an obasan. Morning includes bowl of various typical breakfast foods, and toast, along with drink of choice.
The bowl included a salad of shredded cabbage, sprouts, and carrot drizzled with a sesame dressing. Blueberry yogurt, half a hard boiled egg, a slice of banana, and a slice of grilled sweet potato were also alongside.
The coffee was fresh and for that price, this healthy but filling breakfast was a great deal.
