A Cozy Hideaway for Meals and Sweets
Popular with local customers as well as diners from outside the city and prefecture, this cafe serves "Seasonal Curry" made with seasonal vegetables and mushrooms, the hearty "Big Chicken Cutlet," handmade cakes and tarts, and house-roasted coffee. A specialty is the "Big Choux," filled generously with cream. Cat-themed ornaments and tableware decorate the interior, which also sells handmade accessories and other goods.

"Seasonal Curry" with the Flavors and Colors of Each Season
"Seasonal Curry" is a recommended dish made with vegetables, mushrooms, and other ingredients at their seasonal peak. Colorful vegetables are arranged over the curry, allowing their individual textures and flavors to come through. At lunchtime, it is served with soup, salad, dessert, and a drink. Rice can be changed to multigrain rice or ordered in a larger portion, with toppings such as chicken cutlet, cheese, and egg also available. Because the ingredients change with the seasons, the dish offers something different throughout the year.
