Served every day, weekends and public holidays included. A main course with soup and salad, from ¥1,200 on weekdays — in the middle of Tokyo's secondhand-book district.
Colombian beans, roasted at our own roastery and steeped slowly in cold water — a clean cup with a berry note. Served free to weekday lunch guests between 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., through 30 September 2026.
Choose a main course; soup and salad come with it. Several mains include rice as well. Prices below are the weekday ones — Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are priced differently.
昭和レトロなオムレツパスタ
Pasta wrapped in a soft-set omelet, made with Chiba eggs and bacon from Hokuso pork. An old-fashioned Japanese take on Western food that has been popular here for generations — and the dish you are least likely to have eaten before.
¥1,480 with soup & salad
房総ポークジンジャー
Boso pork — a Chiba brand raised on a feed of domestic rice, seaweed and vitamin E, known for staying tender — grilled with ginger. Our single most ordered dish.
Belly ¥1,380 / Loin ¥1,480 with rice, soup & salad
海老とあさりのホワイトカレー
A pale curry rather than the usual brown — unusual even in Japan. You can choose how hot you would like it.
¥1,450 with soup & salad
ヘルシーワンプレート
Chicken breast and a boiled Chiba egg for protein, with vegetables for colour. Comes with an açaí drink and baguette instead of the usual rice.
¥1,780 with açaí drink, soup & baguette
自家製ローストビーフ丼
Roast beef we cure and cook ourselves, over rice, topped with a soft-boiled Chiba egg.
¥1,580 with soup & salad
手ごねハンバーグ きのこ to トマト
Mushrooms and tomato. Hamburg steak is a Japanese staple — closer to a seasoned patty served on a plate than to anything in a bun.
¥1,380 with rice, soup & salad
国産地鶏のトマト煮込み
Japanese jidori chicken, slow-cooked in tomato. The least expensive main on the list.
¥1,200 with rice, soup & salad
国産地鶏ソテー
The same Japanese free-range chicken, sautéed with the skin crisped.
¥1,380 with rice, soup & salad
Prices shown are for weekdays. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays lunch is priced differently — please ask, or see the menu in the restaurant.
A glass of wine with lunch for ¥300 is, we are told, one of the more agreeable habits available in this neighbourhood.
No — walking in is fine. Midday can get busy, so if you want to be certain of a table, call 03-6803-3966 or book through Tabelog. From about 2 p.m. onwards it is quiet and there is nearly always room.
Yes. There is counter seating with power outlets, and solo lunches are ordinary here.
Also fine. Coffee and cake with free Wi-Fi, for as long as you like.
No table charge and no otoshi — the compulsory appetizer some Japanese restaurants add to the bill. You pay for what you order, tax included.
There is no separate vegetarian menu, and we cannot promise allergen-free preparation. The Marinara pizza (¥1,600) has no cheese, and there are vegetable dishes on the main menu. Please tell us when you arrive and we will do what we can.
Welcome, and the afternoon is the easiest time to bring them — the room is quiet and there is space.
