"Japan doesn't do breakfast" is a misnomer. "toast sets" are a common way to grab a light breakfast in Japanese cities. Perhaps most famous in Nagoya you can still find similar types of restaurants in other cities.
This restaurant nails everything I want from a "toast set" experience. It's cheap, peaceful, non-pretentious, simple and delicious.
Sets are served with tea or coffee and a piece of thick butter toast. you can add honey, cinnamon, etc and sides like a small salad and a boiled egg. The toast is really good, simple but has a wonderful texture.
the atmosphere is sort of a retro styled place old folks come to, maybe looks a little dingy but has a veneer of charm to it. Old books and stuff are abound.
Staff is fine, and they have an English menu. Appears to be non-smoking.
Get the honey btw, it's really sharp and delicious.
I love...

Read more#toast 509 — casual, expected and a nice spot with nice deals and fresh bread. their bread is really soft and warm upon being served and I genuinely really enjoyed the intimacy of the whole cafe space. It’s a bit small and packed but you can get a sense of the people that like to come here by listening to the conversations whether it is the nearby regulars that come during their lunch breaks or people that come during their lunch breaks while being at work.
I would’ve wished to try their coffee if it wasn’t the case that I had a few cups already in the morning.
