The Showa-style omurice set pairs omelette rice with homemade tomato sauce for a gentle, nostalgic flavour. Ketchup rice, balanced with a mild tang and a hint of spice, comes with a generous salad topped with tofu and a warm coffee to finish—a satisfying, unpretentious lunch.

In a residential neighbourhood in Higashi-Ogu, the café フェルメール serves a generous range of classic café lunches, including Napolitan spaghetti, hayashi rice and hot sandwiches toasted until fragrant. Lunch sets come with salad and a drink, and larger portions are available for those who prefer them.

Start the day with a morning set of toast, salad and Japanese-style egg, or take an afternoon pause with tea and a set of scones, bagels or pound cake. With paintings and small decorative objects around the calm interior, it’s an easy place to linger over carefully brewed blend coffee or a coffee float topped with ice cream.
