Flying Scotsman Okaido shop — Restaurant in Matsuyama

I love this type of store, so I was excited to step in as soon as I saw it. As expected, the sandwiches, salads, coffee, and desserts here all have a distinctly Japanese touch. The food is prepared with great care—clean, beautifully presented, and never overly greasy or drenched in sauce.

This café is truly one of a kind! Designed with a charming train cabin ambiance, it instantly transports you back in time with its retro, nostalgic feel. The cozy and unique atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for both casual hangouts and quiet coffee breaks.
