caferia

There is this really old coffee shop near the Hatanodai Station.

I had thought they weren't in business until I saw them on a television show...

Upstairs the shop is quite spacious.
Loved all the retro sugar containers and cute cyclamen plant on the table!
Satoshi had their napolitan, this came with a salad and coffee or tea...980 yen (tax included).

He said he enjoyed this.

I ordered their pizza toast, this also came with a salad and coffee or tea...900 yen (tax included).

The salad was shredded cabbage topped with some macaroni salad and a little shoyu...it brought back memories of how growing up we used to eat veggies sometimes with shoyu and mayo...

Look at how thick the toast is!

I wished the onions were more "cooked" because they still had a little "bite", but overall this was delicious.

We'll be back whenever we are in this area.

  2. I was looking at that plate of pasta and wondered - do you guys use the spoon? I rarely ever see a spoon as part of the place setting over here (unless there is a soup), so just wondering since we don't even use one at home for pasta.

  3. Rowena, In Japan, most places that serve pasta serve it with a fork and spoon. Someone got the idea that twirling the pasta in the spoon is "good manners", so you'll see lots of Japanese do this, and even ask for a spoon when the travel to Italy. Satoshi and I usually don't use the spoon and just twirl the pasta on the plate...

    Take care!

  4. That's quite a thick slice of bread Kat! Did they use Shokupan for this? I still do shoyu and mayo for veggies sometimes Kat!

  6. that's interesting to know. I think over here, spoons might be part of the setting in posh restaurants, otherwise it's kinda pretentious (according to MotH)!

  7. Rowena, I forget when a restaurant told us that only the Japanese ask for spoons to eat their pasta...

    Take care!
