I finally came back to try their stew lunch ¥950 (it seems to sell out at late lunch hours, so I came on a day when I had an early break). They feature a different stew everyday with a different mixed rice (ie, corn butter, edamame, tomato). Every week the menu is posted on their website. Today the stew was a vegetable and house-made salted pork (I assume it means a salt marinated pork). The rice of the day was already sold out so I had no choice but to choose the homemade bread.
First, the salad of the day was a carrot and walnut salad. However, I think maybe they ran out of walnuts. The dressing was actually really tasty, I'd like to know what's in it. There was definitely olive oil, a mild vinegar and something for sweetness. Now that I think about it the walnut may have been ground up in the dressing!!
The stew was a tomato-base broth with squash, onions, eggplant, ham and okra. The meat was so soft and had a really nice pork flavor. The collagen pieces were included and had a nice stickiness and/or chewiness to it. The topping of grated cheese added the sodium seasoning.
The bread was whole wheat and had a good density and flavor. There were traces of oats in it giving it a hearty flavor.
The coffee was not only a nice blend; fresh, strong and bold, it was also of a good size.
