It was quite a trek to come out to this gallery cafe in the country side of Nagoya, so you can imagine my surprise when I was offered an English menu.  Apparently, there's an international school nearby.

I chose the sandwich lunch (\800).  First came the soup, a cold potato potage.  It was mostly potato and not cream or milk but was still smooth.  The cream came as only a drizzle on top.  The carrot salad was dressed with a bacon flavored dressing with an essence of vanilla.  

The mushroom and chicken sandwich was warm and seasoned with rosemary.  It went well with the mustard spread.  There was a choice of bread, kuro-sato (black sugar) bread or campagne (French bread).  I chose the crusty type;  it was toasted nicely with a slight sourness.  

The music playing was a soft piano music.  This matched the natural decor and the shops artworks, landscape paintings and hand-made pottery.

 For \500, I added a dessert and drink.  The crispy on the outside, dense on the inside, slightly buttery egg waffle was almost like a pancake in taste and texture.  The roll cake was also on the eggy side, almost like a castella cake.  In typical Japanese style, these desserts were only mildy sweet.
