This restaurant's lunch is ¥850 and includes a soup, salad and drink.
There's a large variety of lunches to choose, from pasta and pizza, to omuraisu and menchikatsu (a breaded and fried Japanese burger patty). When I asked for a recommendation, the squash cream gratin was first. The penne cream gratin is actually baked in the squash! You're meant to scrape away the squash on the sides and eat it with the white sauce. Beware, it's very hot and stays hot for a long time; you definitely can't eat this if you're in a rush. The bacon was very mild so it was not overpowering but gave a smokey flavor. The sauce was very simple with barely any seasoning, but this went perfectly to bring out the natural sweetness of the squash. The penne gave it a bit of texture and bite to the dish; without it, there's not much to chew on.
The salad dressing was like a catalina, although I haven't seen Catalina sold in Japan. Soup was a tomato based veggie and bacon soup. It tasted like they used fresh tomatoes and not a veggie bouillon cube, or a canned soup.
