Cafe Tonerico<\/strong>
\nMinutes from Gokoku Jinja Shrine, a small sign on Keyaki-dori beckons you to a backstreet cafe with a unique tunnel-like entrance. Run by Sayaka Kitagawa and her parents, the interior motif is rural southern France, with interesting objets d’art<\/em> in every nook. A glass wall lets in ample natural light, but the terrace seats are also comfy. Lunch is available until sold out. The Tonerico Lunch (\u00a51,420) includes one main, an assortment of six sides, salad, multigrain rice with beans, miso<\/em> soup, dessert and a drink. Also, try the homemade cheesecake and original herbal tea blend.<\/p>\n

5 Cafe Chihaya<\/strong>
\nThe staff at Masaya Bicycle Works are passionate about three things: high-end bicycles, specialty coffee and tasty cafe food. So it\u2019s no surprise to find hip cafes right inside both Masaya stores. 5 Cafe, located next door to Chihaya Station, is a convenient pit stop on the way to Shikanoshima and the up-and-coming Island City neighborhood. The bagels, biscotti and muffins are handmade daily from select natural ingredients. For lunch, try the BLT (\u00a5442) with thick-cut bacon. Or stop by for breakfast and a cappuccino, if your weekend plans are taking you eastward.<\/p>\n

Warabe<\/strong>
\nLocated in the retro-chic Sankaku Ichiba near Yakuin Station, Warabe\u2019s specialty is \u201cyakisoba<\/em>\u201d. Owner Yuji Endo spent over 20 years honing his craft at his popular teppan izakaya<\/em> in Hiroshima, but re-opened Warabe here in March 2015. Endo uses thin noodles and a slightly sweet sauce, and each serving uses approximately 220 g of veggies. One bite and you\u2019ll see how the thin noodles pair perfectly with the finely chopped cabbage, crunchy bean sprouts and flavorful pork. The sauce, which does not overpower, ties it all together. For Endo, preparation and ingredients are key. He buys his noodles and sauce from Hiroshima and uses Yayoi-brand pork from Hisayama Town. \u201cI don\u2019t think my yakisoba<\/em> is perfect yet, so I\u2019ll keep trying to make it even better,\u201d confides Endo. Yakisoba<\/em> may be a simple dish, but doing it right requires dedication like Endo\u2019s. It\u2019s usually packed in the evenings, so go at lunchtime when only yakisoba<\/em> is served and Warabe is at its best!<\/p>\n
