信濃路 — Restaurant in Yamanouchi

Nice place run by a retired chef of French cuisine who worked at Okura Hotel in Tokyo but many things can be improved there such as: Let the customer sit first show the menu put nice music not too loud make a fresh coffee.

I went there for a coffee and, during my entrance dealing with my umbrella in a rainy and cold day, the owner started asking if I was there for coffee or food. When I said that is for coffee, he automatically said: “OK, coffee” as if he got the order. When I asked for menu, he replied that there wasn’t any menu. I asked for what kind of coffee was available, he mentioned many types so I got the house blend that, sincerely, it tasted like a not fresh brewed coffee, weak and not good taste for ¥500. Payment by PayPay or cash. French dinner available of you reserve 3 days in advance. Showa style deco. Menu...

I went here because I wanted to experience a traditional Japanese coffee shop. The owner of the coffee shop is pleasant but the menu is only available in Japanese. I wouldn't mind if the food I got were a Japanese surprise but all the food is European.

Little coffee shop owned by a lovely old man who was a chef before he retired. We mainly went to the US and cooked for famous ppl. He might seem rude or cold. The thing is he wishes he could interact with you but can’t as he speaks very little English so please be kind and patient towards our elders. If you speak little Japanese he will be pleased to show his photos and tell you his story. Prices are pretty fair...
