While the cafe is the embodiment of Zen-like grace and atmosphere, their specialties will take you to the world of Japanese gastronomy, characterized by flavor profiles that are oh so pleasing to the palate.

To start off your Japanese cafe experience, indulge in their sando (Japanese sandwich) and toasts — all prepared with freshly baked, fluffy nama shokupan (Japanese fresh bread), just like their Salmon Katsu Sando and Honey Toast with Triple Cream Sampler!
