There is an area with toys for kids to play with.

There are two different flavors.

If you have any allergies, please let us know in advance.

△Tuna mayonnaise

Ask them when you make the reservation.
Vegetarian and vegan menus are currently being prepared.
Ask us if you would like to order them, please.

We also make miso soup, with a chawan bowl.
If you have a cafe au lait bowl at home, we will share recipes that you can make even when you return to your home country.

Enjoy rice balls and miso soup, be thankful for the blessings of everyday life, and spend some peaceful time here in Hiroshima with mothers (who also speak English and have lived overseas).

For dessert, try making matcha tea.
Please enjoy matcha you made with Japanese sweets (Wagashi).
Let's learn the manners of the tea ceremony (SADOU) together and become more Japanese than Japanese.
