What We Cook

Italian method, mostly Chiba ingredients — the coast and farmland just east of Tokyo. Served from 11:30 a.m. straight through to closing.

All prices include tax

Pizza

Lemon & Chiba Honey

レモンと千葉県産はちみつのピッツァ

Made with honey produced in Chiba. Sweet against sharp — good at the end of a meal, or with a glass of sparkling at the start of one.

¥1,800

Snow Crab

ズワイガニのピッツァ

Snow crab across the base — the richest of the eight.

¥2,200

Pasta

Local Hamaguri Clam Spaghetti

地はまぐりの和風スパゲティ

Hamaguri clams from the Chiba coast, opened into the pan so the pasta finishes in their liquor. Seasoned Japanese-style rather than strictly Italian.

¥2,080

Showa-Retro Omelet Pasta

昭和レトロなオムレツパスタ

Pasta under a soft-set omelet, with Chiba eggs and Hokuso pork bacon. A Japanese comfort dish rather than an Italian one — and the house specialty.

¥1,680

Boso Pork

A Chiba pork brand, raised on a feed that includes domestic rice, seaweed and vitamin E. It stays tender, and the fat is clean rather than heavy.

Braised in Red Wine

房総ポークほろほろ赤ワイン煮

Cooked down slowly until it gives way to a fork.

¥1,980

Porchetta

房総ポークのポルケッタ

Rolled, herbed and roasted.

¥1,780

Beef

Senba beef is a scarce Chiba brand, raised in the countryside east of Tokyo. We buy it direct from Iwabuchi Farm. Fine marbling, soft texture, and a clean sweetness to the fat rather than a heavy one.

Antipasti — Warm

From something small to go with a drink, to a plate that could be a meal.

Cold Plates

Golden Eye Snapper Carpaccio

金目鯛のカルパッチョ

Kinmedai landed in Chiba. Our people bid for it at the Ohara Port auction, mostly, and it is sliced thin here. See how we buy the fish.

¥1,280

Cheese from Isumi

千葉県いすみ市のチーズ盛り合わせ

From a small workshop in Isumi, on the Chiba coast. Handmade, so quantities are limited and the selection changes.

¥1,500

Salads

Curry & Naan

Not Italian, and we make no apology for it. Curry is a Jimbocho institution — the district is as well known for it as for the bookshops. Each curry comes with rice; the second price is for the curry on its own, without rice.

Shrimp & Clam White Curry

海老とあさりのホワイトカレー

Pale rather than brown — unusual even in Japan. You can choose the heat.

¥1,550 / ¥1,350 without rice

GRAND TIME Spice Chicken Curry

グランタイムスパイスチキンカレー

Our own blend of spices.

¥1,200 / ¥1,000 without rice

Sides & Sets

Eating without meat: We do not run a separate vegetarian menu, and we cannot promise allergen-free preparation. Dishes marked no meat or fish above are the straightforward choices — the Marinara pizza has no cheese either. Please tell us when you arrive and we will do what we can.
No cover charge: No table charge and no otoshi. You pay for what you order, and every price here includes tax.
Payment: Credit cards, IC cards (Suica / PASMO), QR payments and cash.
Menu changes: Some plates depend on what came in that day, so the list can shift. If something has just arrived, we will tell you.
