Very tasty food and nice homely environment. High-quality, balanced ingredients. 1100 yen. Also vegetable options available although our dish included chicken. We will come back to this restaurant.

Very charming place right next to Nagoya University. I had a karaage plate for 1100. The portions were good and the karaage was juicy. Rice is of good quality. Seasoning is soft and subtle. The seats outside are nice if you’re ok with the street noise.

A clean cafe with plenty of seating and healthy, reasonably priced meals. We ordered curry doria and hamburg steak this time, but they also have some nice options with more veggies on the menu.
