The menu at the cafe offers coffees and Uji-Maccha Latte (green tea lattes $6.2) but interestingly no hot Maccha tea. The menu sees Burgers ($19-22) of 160 grams Wagyu beef on Japanese bakery Asanoya’s soft buns with fries, salad or soup, Sandwiches (BLT $15 or Chicken Cutlet $18) and then Japanese dishes of Watashino Curry Rice and Chicken Don.  Healthier options include the Kaisen Avocado Don ($18) of 10 grain rice topped with wide slices (not cubes) of salmon sashimi,  cooked Aomori scallops and avocado plus a choice of original or dashi stock to eat the don Ochazuke style. The cafe is decorated with photos of the prefecture on show that month for example Mt Fuji with a few specials offering related ingredients albeit minimally incorporated into the menu.
