About this place
When midday arrives while strolling through Sendagi, a comforting meal at a neighborhood kissaten makes for an inviting pause. Among the lunchtime choices at coffee & BAR chi-zu, the quintessential omurice draws plenty of attention, served with a mini salad and a drink. Prepared fresh to order with a fragrant aroma of butter, its fluffy texture keeps regular patrons returning. The kitchen also turns out hearty, classic cafe staples such as slow-simmered beef tendon curry and bubbling-hot keema curry doria.
The bread-based options are equally appealing. The sandwich lunch lets diners pick from mixed sandwiches, croque monsieur, BLT, or bacon and egg, accompanied by a small salad and finished with a mini dessert. Sets featuring aromatic cinnamon toast, pizza toast, or hot dogs also come with that sweet little bite at the end, making them well-suited to a light afternoon break.
Accompanying coffees include the house blend, an Americano, or iced coffee, with the option to upgrade to cafe au lait or various teas for a small extra charge. Between the counter and table seating, the understated dining room provides an unpretentious, quiet atmosphere to unwind while the master deftly brews each cup.
