This is a crepe and gallette specialty cafe.  The lunch set comes with a salad, gallette, dessert crepe and a drink (about \1200).

The salad was a creamy mayonnaise tuna pasta salad.  It had rarely seen in Japan fusilli and wheel shaped pasta.  The gallette I chose was an anchovy, tomato and basil one.  It was crispy and had a toasty flavor coming from the buckwheat flour.  All of the flavors melded well together with the sprinkling of mild black pepper.

The shop's walls are lined with photos from the owner's travels around the world, mainly South America and Europe.    I suppose this is why it's called a gallery cafe.  Also, there are items on sale from the visited places.  

The dessert crepe was I chose was blue cheese and honey.  The crepe itself was mochi mochi, (had a soft chewiness).  It was not very sweet, so the sweetness in this dish came from the drizzling of honey.  The blue cheese was a nice and strong one, just the way I like it.  The honey seemed very natural as it had a crunchiness like sugar crystals.  The toppings were spread on the crepe before being folded in quarters, so the flavors were dispersed well throughout.  

The music playing was instrumental, mostly saxaphone;  I didn't care for this as I associate sax music with cheesy romance scenes in movies.  

The coffee was fresh, and went well with dessert.
