Kissa Akane

At Kissa Akane, omurice is a classic coffee-shop dish: chicken rice wrapped in a thin omelette. One diner recalled that the egg was soft and fluffy, and ordered the coffee of the day after the meal. For a substantial meal, omurice is an option; those who want to linger over coffee can add a cup afterwards.

The house-roasted coffee menu includes Ethiopia Mocha Sidamo G-4 (600 yen), Brazil No.2 (600 yen) and Indonesia Mandheling G-1 Q Grade (650 yen). The menu describes the Mocha Sidamo as fragrant and sweet, with refreshing acidity, while the Brazil No.2 is noted for its balance of acidity, bitterness, sweetness and body. If choosing is difficult, you can ask about the coffee of the day; one visitor enjoyed the Brazilian coffee served on their visit.

Other meals include ginger pork, curry rice and Napolitan spaghetti, while lighter options include an egg sandwich and croque monsieur. Diners who ordered the ginger pork or curry rice have reported being offered coffee or tea with lunch, which may be useful if you would like a drink with your meal.

Breakfast and lunch menus are available, and the café offers both dine-in and takeaway. Some visitors have described it as a place where smoking is permitted. If you are sensitive to smoke or visiting with children, check before you go.
