Outside table service has started!

 At last. Yes, finally. It's like coming out of a long hibernation.

****

We've started serving outside tables in the café, but everything is not going as planned and we're getting impatient. Well, we don't have the money, so we have to do things in a jiffy, but even that is not enough and we don't feel like we are making any progress.

So the evolution of an-an is still stagnant, but we hope to make it a place where everyone can relax in between shopping and work soon, so please watch over us with a big heart.

****

Seating in the cafe is not yet available.
The service on the terrace will be as follows

Opening at 9am Drinks and sweets are always available for purchase.

11.30am - 2.30pm Lunch service

Closing at 3 o'clock

When you arrive, please place your order at the counter. Once you have placed your order and paid for it, you will be shown to your table.

We will continue to sell Japanese food, second hand books and Jack & Mei accessories in the shop. We ask that you enter the shop one group at a time and use masks and hand sanitisers.

****

During the holidays we will be offering the Kids' Free Meal that you bought tickets for last year. Please make sure you bring your child with you when you come to pick them up by the 10th. Please make sure you bring your children with you when you come to pick them up. 

Forget about games and TV for a while!

Please let them know if there are parents who needs to bring their children, and please feel free to bring your Guardian/Parents and sit together as it is a no purchase necessity.

 I'll let you know if there are any changes.

For now, this is my dream plan. I wonder what will happen....

April's Sweets and Events

It feels like the long winter is finally over.
I think we may need more time to wake up from our long hibernation.

Anyway, people around us are getting vaccinated more and more, and it is easy to get excited, but the basic thing is to wash your hands and wear a mask. But the basic rule is to wash your hands and wear a mask. This will prevent the spread of germs other than COVID19.

However, we would like to think that this is the last time we will have a lock down, so we will be releasing the meal vouchers for the children that have accumulated and not yet been used, during the Easter school holidays.

This time we will be offering 3 different menus for the price of 2 meal vouchers. Choose from our medium hot curry with chicken Katsu, chicken Katsu lunch or chicken Katsu yakisoba.

For vegetarians, seasonal roasted vegetables (leeks, broccoli & asparagus) will be served in place of the chicken Katsu.

The only condition is that you come and collect the meal with your school child(en) under 10. We will give you a tickets on your arrival.

Now that the weather is finally pleasant, we want you to forget about TV and games and come outside as much as possible. This free hot meal will be available until Saturday 17th, or as soon as we finish 100 meals. Please feel free to use this service.
